engine oil has pcbs in it.
What kind of data did he have?From my research it said the some brands were better than others.Some brands had a very small amount of PCB.I googled up some stuff from a shrink who recommends fish oil to everybody, and he had some old data on PCB
Psych doctors are very positive about fish oil caps because it has some very positive effects on the brain.But for your protection do some research on the brands that have the less PCB.Just make sure that the oil comes from the smaller fish or you will be consuming too much mercury.Ask a pharmacist about your concerns too.http://www.psycheducation.org/depression/meds/Omega-3.htm
There's a little table. I thought I saw vitacost on there but...I was wrong. Maybe that was another site? Anyway, the good Dr. seems pretty gung ho about fish oil (with meds).

Its amazing what vitamins can do!
I do lots of Vit BFish oil is a good source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines are good sources of fish oil because they have a higher fat content and provide more Omega-3 factors than other fishes. For instance, 4 ounces of salmon contains up to 3600 milligrams of Omega-3 fatty acids, while 4 ounces of Cod (a low-fat fish) contains only 300 mg. Carlson Laboratories markets a good Norwegian salmon oil that is highly recommended. Cod liver oil from Norway is the most commonly used fish oil, and is more mild tasting than other varieties. Author Dale Alexander claims it is excellent for arthritis. He has marketed an oil containing 13,800 international units of vitamin A and 1380 IU of vitamin D per tablespoon. But Cod liver oil is not a great source of essential fatty acids. You would have to overdose on vitamins A & D to obtain the amount of essential fatty acids you need. People with diabetes should not take fish oil supplememnts because of the high fat content, but they should consume fish for it's essential fatty acids.
Flaxseeds are rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids, magnesium, potassium and fiber. They are also a good source of the B vitamins, protein and zinc. They are low in saturated fats and calories, and contain no cholesterol. The nutty taste of ground flaxseeds is good, and they can also be mixed with water or any fruit or vegetable juice. They can also be added to salads, soups, cereal, yogurt, baked goods, or fresh juices. I grind them in my coffee grinder. If you don't want to eat the seeds, you can use flaxseed oil. Like the seeds from which it is extracted, organic cold-pressed flaxseed oil is rich in essential fatty acids. Several studies have shown that it can reduce the pain, inflammation, and swelling of arthritis. It has also been found to lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and to help reduce the hardening effects of cholesterol on cell membranes.
Vitamin B-12 is needed to prevent anemia. It aids folic acid in regulating the formation of red blood cells, and helps in the utilization of iron. B-12 is also required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, the synthesis of protein and the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. It aids in cell formation and cellular longevity. In addition, B-12 prevents nerve damage, maintains fertility, and promotes normal growth and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths that cover and protect nerve endings. B-12 is linked to the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that assists memory and learning.
A vitamin B-12 deficiency can be caused by malabsorption, which is most common in elderly people and in those with digestive disorders. Deficiency can cause abnormal gait, chronic fatigue, constipation, depression, digestive disorders, dizziness, drowsiness, enlergment of the liver, eye disorders, hallucinations, headaches, inflammation of the tongue, irritability, labored breathing, memory loss, moodiness, nervousness, neurological damage, palpitations, pernicious anemia, ringing in the ears, and spinal cord degeneration.
Strict vegetarians must remember that they require Vitamin B-12 supplementation, as this vitamin almost exclusively in animal tissues. Although people adopting a strictly vegetarian diet may not see signs of the deficiency for some time-the body can store up to five years worth of Vitamin B-12-signs will eventually develop.
Sources of vitamin B-12 are found in brewers yeast, clams, eggs, herring, kidney, liver, mackerel, milk and dairy products, and seafood. B-12 is not found in many vegetables; it is available only from sea vegetables, such as dulse, kelp, kombu, and nori, oh, and soybeans and soy products. It is also present in the herbs alfalfa, bladdrwrack and hops.

Even though the thread was about fish oil, I included the info on Vitamin B-12 because more than one person mentioned depression and perhaps irritability, major signs of a B-12 deficiency. Most of the time when people get depressed or are irritable, the merely have a deficiency of B-12. Just having a bad day can be as simple as taking some B-12 to fix it. No joke. Plus, with our resident vegetarian in our midst, I thought to mention the B-12 because it is mostly only found in animal tissue as stated. I'd be willing to bet money that many peoples mental difficulties could be more effectively dealt with by the addition of a B-12 supplement in lieu of psyche drugs.
