FISHY

Well, this is a kick in the ass.

Or, rather, it brought me back to my senses.

I always figured that diet supplement claims were bogus. I was also bothered that nothing sold by the supplement people is actually FDA tested.

But little by little I succumbed to the "pressure" and did add some supplements to my diet.

One of these was "fish oil" capsules as guilt compensation for the fact that we do not eat or like much fish. Well, some. Crab in crab cakes maybe. Salmon. Yeh, really guilty here, fish sticks? We love 'em.

Here is the latest incoming.

Sad Story of Fish Oils and Small Sample Sizes

So another diet myth bites the dust.

I have already quit the supplemental calcium that Men's Health told me to take. No effect and possibly dangerous if you drink a lot of milk. We do. Skim.

I also use biotin for my nails. But after years of using it, my nails still break or split from time to time. Less? Can't know.

I use oldster vitamins. I have always used vitamins although I know that I have a good diet and probably don't need them.

Honestly that is it. So I am not pill crazy.

So, I suppose I will quit the fish oil capsules. They are a little pricey, the GNC brand.

Nothing but the best even if it is useless.

Actually, this article is about sample size but I already knew that. I just haven't really paid any attention to it when making choices for myself.
