This is encouraging, but if one starts incorporating more omega 3 oils into the diet by taking fish oil capsules for example, I would be cautious about the source of the fish oil...re; Kristen's earlier question on Shark Liver Oil. I believe Shark is now considered to have high levels of mercury as it's a large predator, close to the top of the food chain so to speak, and so has more mercury than say, salmon oil would. Food for thought
