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?

Molecularly distilled is what you want, as PCBs can be an issue. Something that actually tells you how much DHA and EPA it contains is good. I take little orange chews from Webber, as I found the normal capsules made me queasy. They are more expensive, sadly.
