Another case where having access to the entire paper is important:

The Dutch researchers acknowledge that when including either pure EPA or DHA or both fatty acids in combination, they showed no adverse effects on chemotherapy treatment (and, in fact, they used EPA/DHA exposure as their control group).

it should be noted that since only two fish oil products were analyzed, the Dutch researchers are now moving ahead with research to determine whether other fish oil products also contain the PIFAs. Neither of the fish oil products analyzed in their published study was molecularly distilled, which is now the norm for almost any high-quality fish oil available in the marketplace. It is quite possible that there are no PIFAs in molecularly distilled fish oils (which are virtually devoid of metals or any other contaminants).

So
if there's anything at all to this, it would seem to be whether the fish oil supplement had the offending PIFAs filtered while retaining the welcome EPA and DHA.
I wonder if the paper mentions the brands tested.
