I love your nuanced approach to these claims, rather than the kneejerk reactions we commonly see online. Nothing is black and white!
-
Your videos are the best out there. As someone who has done research myself, I appreciate your bringing in multiple studies and resisting sweeping conclusions. Well done, doc!
-
as usual i'm so thankful that there's still people like you who actually inform people to scientific standards. hope you'll be able to do this for a long time. <3
-
Thank you, finally someone with no hype, who I can trust. Science background here, and I take the science very seriously. Your videos are very informative, thanks for delving into the research and doing excellent summaries. Saves the rest of us a lot of time!

I was experiencing A Fib after taking Fish Oil tables . I stopped taking it and the A Fib went away . After a few months I tried taking Fish Oil tablets again and the A Fib came back .I was taking 1g . I now get my Omega 3 from my diet and have had no issues /no A Fib.

Another great review Gil. You are a wonderful source to keep us balanced with the ton of studies and wild information out there. Hoping all is well with the family and hope to see your content for a very long time. All the best.
-
I really hope this works out for you in the style you do these videos. This actually provides value and saves me time
-
I'm 63 and eat a healthy diet and exercise 5 days a week. I eat salmon and tuna every week and take fish oil supplement every day. I brought my cholesterol down from 220 to 130. Works for me.
-
Gil, I am quite suspicious of the reduce-it trial because it was not a true placebo control RCT since the "placebo" was mineral oil which is known to be pro-inflammatory and is likely harmful.
-
Well done. Thanks for adding clarity.
-
Thank you for acknowledging algae supplementation. I don't know why these studies don't compare those to the fish oil. What if the algae oil doesn't have any side effects. It would be so cool if they could also compare those who consume a well-planned whole Food vegan diet with a regularly high intake of alpha linolenic acid rich foods like nuts and seeds. Feels like nothing's really changed still after some long. Great video, Nice update!
-
I always find that if I listen to your videos all the way through, the questions that start popping up in my head get answered. Thanks for covering algae oil.
-
If some is good, more is not necessarily better, and too much is almost always bad.
-
What is the omega 3/fish oil actually doing to the heart that causes the problems? Also is there anything about the micro plastics found fish oils?
-
I've been worrying about this. So happy you covered this. I'm vegan and take 1 gram every day. Now I might lower it a little. Appreciate the clarification!
-
Hi Gil, Can you please make a video to review the evidence available regarding Omega3 (fish consumption not supplementation) and prostate cancer? Thank you so much for the great, unbiased content you provide.
-
Thank you so much for this comprehensive overview. I was hoping you would do this video when almost everybody else ran with one piece of data. 🙏🏻
-
Very good video that was clear and well nuanced, ending with good answers to what an individual might do, given what we know and how well we know it. Thanks, Gil, for all you do. Would you consider a video specifically about your diet (and any supplements) - What do you eat/take and why? I think given your knowledge and background, a talk about your choices would be helpful!
-
What I think keeps getting lost in all the discussion of Omega 3s and CVD is the risks/benefits in terms of brain health. Neither my husband nor I are at high risk for CVD, but we have some family histories of dementia and mental illness to contend with, so we take algae oil. Are we off base on this? I'd love to see more on the research regarding brain health rather than CVD. As always, great content, Gil!
