    I know little about this but there have been concerns raised this year that too much fish oil can have adverse affects. Just Google 'Fish oil warnings 2013'. There an interesting article on the harvard.edu site that Google throws up (along with the comments below it).

    I hear also that the quality of the fish oil can be a concern.

    Yeah, I know - advice on all kinds of foods seems to change regularly, like how many eggs one should eat per week.

    Have heard about fish oils alright and cancer scares.I have also heard about lads taking 5 and 6 times the recommended dosage.I wouldnt mind taking a few a day as my diet is poor but I dont want to end up in a worse state.Thanks for the info Scooby
