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?

I take Coromega--not capsules, little foil packets, but somehow they make the oil taste not quite so bad, and I don't get the fishy burps that I did with regular cod liver oil. (I take this form because of some medical issues that make this more digestible than standard capsules.) And yes, it's made a noticeable difference in my health.

I use these too, they taste good, like orange yogurt. :)
