Ep. 19: Jacob M. Hands—What's Wrong With Fish Oil (Chocolate too!?!)?
See Substack for more!
Introduction
What about fish oil? Is it a problem due to oxidation and contamination? Is it beneficial to health as many claim or is it a PUFA that’s bad for your health?
Jacob recently published an analysis of various fish oils with the team at Consumer Labs, looking at oxidative toxicity and purity of a wide variety of commercially available fish oils.
We discuss omega-3 and health, fish oils and oxidation, the science of seed oils and health, and, as a bonus, the problem with chocolates.
This is definitely a bit of a geek fest, so let me know if you have any questions.

This is the only human study I’m aware of showing harm from eating marine foods. The Japanese and the Eskimos do not suffer from infertility, so I think this gentleman must have been doing something wrong.
“I lived for 100 days on nothing but marine animal food (seal, fish, crustaceans and molluscs) and water; weights of all food were recorded….”
“In seminal fluid, the total amount of prostaglandins decreased significantly and small amounts of the [Ω-]3-series appeared; spermatozoa became immobile and then disappeared.”
