Do people really still consume fish oil pills?
November 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I just finished reading an article titled Health authorities slam fish oil that that was printed in a Norwegian Newspaper (the Foreigner). The article highlights issues discovered in the making of fish oil pills that are being delivered to store shelves.
Besides the horrible aftertaste that fish oil pills have, why would anyone continue to consume fish oil pills when other natural and safer sources of Omega 3 exist. Here is an excerpt of the article…
Citing possible breaches of EU hygiene rules, Ms Andersen says, “possible immediate dangers include contamination by birds, sunlight, and the temperatures.”
The partially rotten fish is cooked, with the oil then being stored in tanks for what can be up to 90 days, and vulnerable to oxidisation.
According to researchers, oxidisation, exposure to sunlight, or warmth can turn the fish oil contained in Omega-3 capsules putrid. Apart from giving the oil a bad taste, scientists allege there are “indications” putrid fish oil can cause a stress-like reaction in the human body’s cells.
Nofima researcher Åge Oterhals says investigations show “refining neither stops nor removes the oxidisation process and it also continues when the oil has been made into capsule form for sale in shops.”
What other sources are there for Omega 3‘s? Besides having many more other nutrients than fish oil, Mila has by far more lignins than any known plant, lignins being antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti carcinogenic, etc.
What is Mila? Mila™ is a mixture of Salvia hispanica L. seed (chia) which has been carefully selected to maximize its nutritional value. Mila is gluten–free, trans–fat free, sugar–free, high in fiber and protein and has no taste or smell. Mila is mechanically processed using a proprietary system that optimizes the bioavailability and increases its nutritional value. Nothing is added to the product – it is a pure form of Salvia hispanica L. and is simply the best available today.
