How Much Fish Is Too Much?

Auburn, Nov. 20, 2003 --- An increasing number of health-conscious Americans are asking the same question: how much fish is too much?

There are plenty of reasons to eat fish. For one, it’s chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids, substances considered essential to good health.

But, as researchers are discovering, too much of a good thing can be bad. Eating too much saltwater sporting fish such as tuna, one of the most popular sources for omega-3s, may put you at risk of exposure to mercury, a toxic substance. The price of eating too much of this fish may be serious long-term health problems

Answer 3

Without knowing the source, I can only comment on the fatty acid itself. To much Omega gfatty acids is a difficult thing to judge by its self. How much saturated fat are you getting? If not enough, you certainly can get to much Omega and compromize the integrity of your cell walls. So it's more amtter of how it is balanced with other factors.

Answer 4

It says if you are taking your omega 3's via cod liver oil, it contains Vitamin D, I think, and too much Vitamin D can cause problems.

But if you are taking fish oil, you should be fine.
