Can I get the same benefits by eating fish, rather than taking omega-3 supplements?
There are two reasons why getting your much needed omega-3s through supplements is advisable. First, regardless of the type and amount of fish you consume, it is difficult to get an adequate amount of omega-3. Second, fish today is often contaminated with mercury, PCBs and DDT, which are known to cause serious damage to the body. Therefore, the only way to get the health benefit without the health risk is to consumer purified omega-3 supplements.
