Fish oil

[pegkerr]

For a variety of reasons, it seems that adding fish oil to my family's diet would be a Good Idea (some of us have elevated triglycerides, some have depression, some are prone to eczema, and it would be protective for me for breast cancer, too). Since half of the family adamantly refuses to eat fish, I'm interested into fish oil capsules. What should we look for in choosing fish oil capsules--are there any industry standards we should look for, to avoid mercury or PCB contamination, etc? Any advice for finding it, in non-contaminated form, reasonably priced? Are you taking fish oil? Has it helped you?

Bean and I take them. I have yet to find a very small capsule, therefore, cannot get the rest of the family to take it. I had a heart attack in July '07; so I take it for cardio health. Bean has been taking it since age 7 for mood stability. He'll probably outlive us all.

i have yet to have a problem with fish burps. But I drink lots and lots of water, too.
