Snake Oil Dealers & the Truth about Fish Oil Supplements

There's been an awful lot of discussion about fish oil supplements in the news lately.   Fish oils are becoming quite the fad for Internal Medicine Doctors, Cardiologists, Rheumatologists and a host of Alternative and Nutritionally minded practitioners. You may have heard about the wondrous benefits of taking fish oil. Now there are even prescription fish oils available.

Let's put this fishy nonsense to rest, shall we?

The supposed easy fix of fish oil supplements is a ubiquitously misunderstood distortion of reality. 

A large number of the doctors, nutritionists and other holistic practitioners recommend the use of Fish Oil to help treat a variety of symptoms, however the vast majority of these practitioners are no better than "snake oil salesmen" as they  are unaware of the full metabolic effects of snake/fish oil.
