What Fish Are Safe To Eat?

We are told that eating fish is healthy and that we need our omega three fatty acids. But what fish are safe to eat and how much to eat can be confusing.
Here is a link to a comprehensive list of fish and their corresponding mercury levels. Although it does not get into the actual nutritional values of the different fish, it at least let's us know which are safe to eat regularly, and which fish we need to avoid altogether.

Polyps, colon cancer, and omega 3's

Omega 3 fatty acids (specifically EPA) reduces the risk of precancerous intestinal polyps.The particpants taking the EPA had 22 percent less polyps, and the polyps they did have were 30 percent smaller.
The sutdy was performed on people with an existing genetic predisposition, so it is not clear if it would have the same effect on a population without the predisposition.

Another round of applause for fish oils!

Where do you keep your fish oil?

Did you know that your fish oils in capsule form should NOT be kept in the refrigerator? The cold will disrupt the gelatin in the capsule which will then allow the oils to oxidise and become rancid.
If your oil is in liquid form, it should be kept in the fridge, and used up quickly.
