This reminds me of when they declared eggs to be so bad for you. The good thing about these studies is that if you wait long enough, another study will come along claiming the opposite.

This is impossible because my humanist friends tell me that science is never wrong. When scientism tells you something is bad for you, you must believe that it's bad for you whole heatedly [until the next next study says the opposite]. Never question the latest scientific literature.

The original study may very well be flawed, but heart health isn't the only reason to be taking fish oil.

Is Fish Oil the old Cod Liver Oil stuff?

It would be anything they are pushing now. Omega 3's, any fish oil.

I read the article.

Other than this doctor saying the original study was flawed, he doesn't say why fish oil isn't helpful. He simply says "it doesn't help".

So because he says so, on the internet, it must be true?

That article debunks nothing.

I do await to see the results of what his study found, because there was nothing in that article that backs him up.
