About this episode

The episode discusses the potential issues with fish oil, including oxidation and health implications, featuring guest Jacob M. Hands.

Introduction What about fish oil? Is it a problem due to oxidation and contamination? Is it beneficial to health as many claim or is it a PUFA that's bad for your health? Jacob recently published an analysis of various fish oils with the team at Consumer Labs, looking at oxidative toxicity and purity of a wide variety of commercially available fish oils. We discuss omega-3 and health, fish oils and oxidation, the science of seed oils and health, and, as a bonus, the problem with chocolates. This is definitely a bit of a geek fest, so let me know if you have any questions.
