[Nixter]

I personally take fish oil but I keep a close eye on all the latest research and research reviews as the science is far from consensus on this one. I might just lower my dose for now

Hear you go @gondar . Another one.

i still belive that atrial fibrillation, is from underlying issues, its just as simple as rasing thyroid medication, and getting heart papls due to low cortisol or iron etc.

I think this something to think about, but i dont think the fish oil is directly causing a prob its more less revealing an underlying issue

I think this is the same study from 2016. Something to keep an eye on. I would love to see how krill oil stacks up.. Imo the study is flawed because the placebo should of never been olive oil. Too similar to fish oil.

This article isn't about a particular study, but rather a review of existing studies, including more recent data from as little as a few months ago.

Agreed. If I was worried, I wouldn't take it.
