Biosyntrx' 'Friday Pearl' of 7/21/06
Here is a link for the full article (http://www.biosyntrx.com/pearl.htm)
Excerpt:
For optimal health of the whole body, including the eyes, the consumption of two or more servings of fish high in Omega-3 fatty acids per week is advocated by the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, the FDA and the most recent edition of the peer-reviewed journal, Ophthalmology.
However, fresh water, ocean water, and farm raised fish all contain relatively high amounts of environmental toxins such as mercury, and polychlorinated biphenyls, (PBCs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCs). A study published in the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine suggests that fish oil supplements are safer than eating fish, at least from the standpoint of toxic impurities.
