    The PDR has information on it's risks and benefits:

    Thanks for the link. I'm really getting tired of condradictory
    scientific "studies".

    It's your lack of education in this area, not the studies. Does not make
    you a bad person per se, just a person who should not comment on topics
    he knows nothing about. I don't have an opinion on quantum physics,
    'cause (drum roll) I don't have enough knowledge of the topic to have an
    opinion.

    I think i'll just put fish oil with all the
    other supplements and just stick with a variety of whole foods
    emphasizing fresh meats and produce and stay away from grains,
    starches, and veggie oils.

    Great, does that mean you will stop posting stupid questions?

    Like what, that concentrated highly unstable polyunsaturated fish oils
    cause cancer because they are immunosupressive?

    Do you really think i'm just making this up? I'm just surprised that
    there is so much negative info out there re: fish oil. Shouldn't it be
    the cats ass? Common Will, kind of like how Whey is such a healthy
    bovine protein?

    Where is Montygram...at least he knew what he was talking about.

    Of course, omega-3 (as opposed to omega-6) fatty acids help reduce
    inflammation and chronic inflammation is one of the main drivers
    behind cancer.

    Do you really think i'm just making this up?

    No, you just don't understand the stuff. Everybody knows that omega-6
    is pro-inflammatory while omega-3 is anti-inflammatory. Everybody
    except you!

    Whey *IS* a very healthy bovine protein.

    Q: Are fish oils good for you?

    Some of the unsaturated fats in fish are definitely less toxic than
    those in corn oil or soy oil, but that doesn't mean they are safe.
    Fifty years ago, it was found that a large amount of cod liver oil in
    dogs' diet increased their death rate from cancer by 20 times, from the
    usual 5% to 100%. A diet rich in fish oil causes intense production of
    toxic lipid peroxides, and has been observed to reduce a man's sperm
    count to zero. [H. Sinclair, Prog. Lipid Res. 25, 667, 1989.]

    Yes, I do. Cite one study in a respected peer-reviewed journal, not
    some neo-hippie natural food web site ... just one ... that
    establishes any substantial link between fish oil and cancer.

    Fish oil is slightly immunosuppressive for the same reason that it is
    anti-inflammatory. You probably shouldn't use it if you have AIDS.
    However, if you have any one of a number of illnesses that involve
    inflamed tissues, it can be very beneficial

    It's "Peat". This paragraph is often reposted by the same person who
    doesn't think that HIV has anything to do with AIDS: it indicates
    complete inability to critically evaluate the body of knowledge, or
    even understand what constitutes scientific evidence.

    The paragraph also misstates the year of Sinclair's publication. The
    publication is not a peer-reviewed paper, but rather a transcript of
    an informal pre-banquet talk with digressions such as what would be
    the length of all publications of a scientist when measured in toilet
    paper rolls :-)

    It does not mention the mysterious dogs cancer rates study, which
    apparently remains unconfirmed for about 70 years now.

    The sperm count reduction is an anecdotal self-observation when the
    author went on a 100 days diet of seal blubber and mackerel oil.

    Now think about it.

    BTW, Sinclair's paper ends with:

    "In health, there's nothing so becomes a man
    As low cholesterol, high EFA:
    But when non-EFA flow in our veins,
    They imitate the action of snake-venom,
    ....
    Refill your glasses and let each one say
    Thank God for prostanoids and EFA!"

    Cite please, and not some [censored] web site you have used before, but
    published studies. Data shows reduced cancer rates with n3 lipids as
    already explained to your stupid ass by others. It's much more
    complicated then you understand, thus you should shut your pie hole.

    Fair enough. I have a question for you Mr. Brink:

    Wouldn't fish oil go rancid at the point where the manufacturers slam
    press the fish (or livers or whatever) due to the friction?
    Furthermore, since we don't know when this was done -- who knows how
    long it has been sitting before shipping.

    Also, are you familiar with the DHA-accelerated aging hypothesis?

    The opposite is true. DHA prevents cognitive decline in old age.

    Yes, that is a concern. Two major concerns with commercial fish oils are
    contaminants and oxidation products. Both are valid concerns, but much
    less so with modern producers who test regularly and use Molecular
    Distillation which does a great job of producing high quality oils. For
    example:

    http://www.hsc.com.my/mservices/Reason_HSC%20fish%20oil.html

    No is saying there are not concerns to address with highly unsaturated
    lipids, but the data is VERY clear the benafits outweigh the risks.
    Anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant of the research.

    Not necessarily.

    There was a small study comparing various food proteins and how they
    affected glucose, insulin, amino acids, and incretin hormones GIP/GLP-1
    in healthy subjects.

    It appears there's a disproportionately large insulin spike that occurs
    under the influence of whey. It is that spike that lowers blood
    glucose.

    If this study can be replicated in larger populations, those who use
    whey in drinks and other recipes may be enjoying lower glucose levels
    at the expense of remaining beta cells and all the health problems
    (like weight gain) chronic hyperinsulinemia can bring.

    Sorry to say, but man has been eating rancid, salted herrings for
    centuries without falling immediately dead to the ground. In fact,
    those eating that (it taste horrible) was far healthier than those
    living today.
    (But, lung inflammation diseases like tuberculosis did kill a lot of
    people to be that old that fat induced diseases would be significant
    in those days)

    I wasn't aware of this study. I agree with you that if those results
    can be extrapolated to larger populations, whey protein shouldn't be
    taken alone. My guess is that taking whey protein with some kind of
    fat would probably help considerably in the hyperinsulinemia
    department. What do you think?

    There is a big surprise. Imagine, taking a protein away from all its
    "supporting structures" (right Will?) yielding an effect that wouldn't
    occur if the whole was consumed.

    Hey Will, whey powder must be even better than -- it cranks up the
    insulin to drive more aminos into the blood! Kick ass! I can't
    believe whey isn't making us all steroid hyoooge!

    Whey is used almost solely by persons engaged in resistance training,
    and if properly used, it is usually consumed contemporaneously with
    that training. In such cases, an insulin spike is beneficial.

    Your scenario is not consistent with reality.
