Hi I’m referring to this Whale Brand Jelly Fish Crispy - https://groceryasia.com.au/product/whale-brand-jelly-fish-crispy-otak-otak-100g/ If the nutritional values are true this is insane for the taste and value.
Just a simple question
Also I heard since fish are cold blooded the Omega 3 doesn't oxidize in their body but since we're warm blooded then it might oxidize in our body? Genuine questions.
Which fishes and seafood are safe and healthy? These seafood in grocery are already packaged and cut. What are some good places and sites you recommend we look at for good info on this?
It's easy to find estimates of mercury content in fish, but most of the data I can find from sources like FDA have 10+ year old data, and some data is as old as the 1970s. https://www.fda.gov/food/metals-and-your-food/mercury-levels-commercial-fish-and-shellfish-1990-2012 As someone who loves sushi,...

Just a simple question, what are the benefits and risks of fish consumption.
Are they all the same?
Or would they best be taken if separate? I know the Vitamin D+K2 should always be together and preferably in the morning as it may disrupt sleep, and the magnesium at night as it can aid sleep. Or do studies show...
I cant find any information about this honestly. Everywhere I look it says ALA omega 3 is an essential fatty acid. And the body can in theory make EPA & DHA from ALA. So from that point of view, taking...

Hi all! Wanted to share my concern about fish oil and specifically the issue about them containing heavy metals like mercury. I have also read that such metals cannot be expelled from the body, so they are being stored and...
Title basically. I have a D3 pills that each have 50ug(2000IU) and take one daily. (Im 107kg/200cm, is that enough?) Then I have some other pills that are omega 3 6 7 9, specific content of one pill is: - 364mg omega...
Usual daily requirements I've seen is 1-4g total fish oil intake with smth like 250-1000mg EPA + 125-500mg DHA. In my understanding we need diatery fat for its essentials fats thus In my understanding large dosage of fishoil can substitute...
[The FDA limits servings for children and people about to become pregnant](https://www.fda.gov/media/102331/download), but says nothing concerning non-pregnant adults. Do any health organization recommend a limit to the amount of low-mercury fish non-pregnant adults can eat?
Does fish oil can cause vitamin A toxicity and if you got vitamin A toxicity does it affect mental health?

Seems little has changed over the years. If you are eating anything but skipjack (aka "light" tuna) more than a few times per week it could be bad. * https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/how-worried-should-you-be-about-mercury-in-your-tuna-a5041903086/ * https://www.cbsnews.com/news/canned-tuna-mercury-unpredictable-spikes-consumer-reports/
From what i can see, only fish contain the available form of omega 3 in decent amounts, and then flax and chia seeds that contain ALA which has a ridiculously low conversion rate to EPA and DHA which is what...

I see its low in cholesterol and awfully high in protein in comparison to regular fish like salmon. So what's the catch? (No pun intended)
I only eat (rarely) shrimp and herring, but recently have wondered if the heavy metals found in them make it all around unsafe. Furthermore, does organic farming reduce these levels? Considering the animals would not be in contact with the polluted...

Chia Seeds contain omega-3, which is prone to oxidation. Will adding chia seeds to boiled water result in oxidation and a health hazard?
Eating fish such as salmon is generally recommended twice a week. If you eat two servings in one night, or say servings in back-to-back nights, are you not benefiting as much?
If I could choose to consume only 2 or 3 types of seeds, which should I choose that have the most proven, all round benefits? Currently I am considering flax and chia seeds.
