another supplement bites the dust. fish oil pills are a waste of money:

you need to be more of a free thinker and not be a slave to one study's results.

It's biased thinking by FT. He has a certain point of view and ignores information that disagrees with that point of view and gets excited about information that agrees with his point of view. That's just my point of view anyway. :cool:

you cant detect a life cycle pattern for supplement hype? the list is long for supplements that are hyped as the latest greatest only to die out after the evidence comes in.
there is no magic pill that will protect your health. the nutrients you need all come from eating a natural plant based diet.
 
It's not the conclusion of just one study:

"...However, subsequent studies that looked at omega-3 fatty acid supplements derived from fish were less clear. Some supported and some refuted the findings, though overall the connection between supplements and lowered heart disease has been elusive. The study released today attempts to pull together all the current research..."

Ditto
 
the common theme is all these failed supplement studies is this. there is no debate that the nutrients are good for you but science is finding that the body does not utilize nutrients delivered in pill form like it does when derived through the food it is native to.
bottom line. if you think you can never eat fish and still get the benefits of fish oils by taking a pill you may be wrong.
i dont see why people are so defensive when science gives us a conclusion. there is no doubt eating correctly if the best way to go.

Science didn't give us a conclusion FT. It is one study's findings and it's not a definitive conclusion either. Go back and read some of the individual studies done by scientists on fish oil and get back to us. There are solid studies done that show positive health benefits from taking fish oil supplements. Do a little research instead of just going by the headlines. It's a deeper subject than a headline FT.

science is always changing its conclusion based on the latest evidence. in this case looking at years of data showed no benefit to those taking it.
maybe you should look a little deeper. supplement makers never do studies on the actual supplement in question. they all use a common stradegy.
science finds a benefit for a substance,in this case fish oil, the supplement makers will extrapolate that into a scientific study proving their supplement works. they will claim their supplement has clinical trials showing that it works when in reality the clinical trial was on one specific nutrient in their supplement and not delivered by pill form. almost all supplements claim to have clinical trials on their product when in reality almost none have them. but hey the marketing sounds good.

here is an example of how its done on the latest hot supplement. green coffee extract:

From Dr.Oz show that aired Sept 11/ 2012

" The third organ we can restart is the heart. Now this is a bit more complicated but Oz made it simple. He said we need to take DHA Omega-3 and get 600 mg a day of this. We need to get soluble fiber twice a day, and we need to take low dose baby aspirin. You should consult your doctor before beginning an aspirin routine."
