Using analytical procedures approved by the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) and the Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC)

methods (an internationally-recognized organization dedicated to

validating testing methods), USC analyzed 18 random lots of store

brand fish oil supplements made by Leiner for America's top

retailers. These blinded tests detected no PCBs, dioxins or heavy

metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury or arsenic in any of the

samples. Included in the USC study were samples previously tested

using the less stable ELISA method, which erroneously reported the

samples contained toxic substances. USC's research concluded all

Leiner fish oil supplements were virtually contaminant free and can

provide a safe source of omega-3 fatty acids.

This link was from a press release by Leiner. Of course it may be

good research I don't know as I haven't checked the original

research. Can anyone say what molecular distillation is? This was in

the press release as something special. Also the title bothers me.

Fish oil safer than fish. All fish? Some fish? Which fish?

 

I'm sceptical and will continue eating fish and recommending people

eat fish. Fish, which I know to be healthy and can tell you exactly

which ocean it came from and caught in what kind of gear and if it

is susutainably caught. Something that the Leiner peple neglected to

say. They only said their oil was from wild fish and not from

farmed salmon. This may be a viable option to those that don't like

to eat fish but I would recommend you ask these questions, which

fish does this oil come from? What kind of boats have caught this

fish? What flag do they fly? And is this fish caught in a

sustainable manner?

Here's some info on molecular distillation:

Leiner does not tell on its website anything about the fish used in their fish

oil or the way in which they are captured. You can place an inquiry here:
