Welp. Guess I’ll flush my flameout. Lol. J/K. The media is all over this. Curious to know who funded this study. Who hates fish oil.
I always return to this article.

If you read the article the issue revolves around supplement quality, not omega 3s themselves. Unscrupulous supplement sellers are a problem and always have been. The article title is manipulative.

“Information on regular use of fish oil supplements was collected from a self-reported touchscreen questionnaire during the baseline survey.14 15 Each participant was asked whether they regularly used any fish oil supplement. Trained staff conducted a verbal interview with participants, asking if they were currently receiving treatments or taking any medicines, including omega 3 or fish oil supplements. Based on this information, we classified participants as regular users of fish oil supplements and non-users.”
This is where it becomes guesswork. Where do you draw the line between regular and occasional users? Is there a linear dose response threshold where it becomes to much, and if so, when - at what consumtion? There must be other confounding factors here.
