Lately I have been reading about high
levels of dioxins found in omega rich oils
and foods, and it got me wondering if I
should be paying more attention to this.
I eat fish about 4 times a week and I take
a fish oil supplement everyday. I feel
great but I was searching around online
and noticed that a few supplements had
been recalled last year because of high
dioxin levels. How much is too much? And
what should I be looking for in a
supplement to make sure it’s effective
and safe?

First, you want to check out the
manufacturer. Fish oils that are produced
on fish farms are not what you want. Nor
are lake/river fish b/c of mercury levels
and so forth. Ocean caught fish are best,
or so I've heard. So research your
sources.
