While going cross-country I made a stop in South Carolina at a great southern breakfast joint - just for the biscuits. As I waited for my food, I decided to get on the internet for a bit and what do you know...I saw an ad for fish oil, but not mine. It was from another doctor in the vitamin business. Now if I didn't know a thing or two, the ad of his would have scared me half to death. But, to borrow a phrase I just learned from a waitress here, I didn't just fall of the turnip truck. So this ad just made me laugh about halfway through. Now I'll be the first to tell you I don't mind a little bragging if the facts are true, but this letter was bragging with no facts to speak of, or as they say in the law, "We're in a highly questionable area here." So the good doctor says he sources the fish oil in southern Peru and Chile - because of the "non-industrial waters". Uh huh. Last time I checked ocean water is ocean water. He makes the claim that fish sourced in European waters contains 8 times more dioxins than fish sourced off Peru and Chile. The information comes from something called the Scientific Committee on Food. I tried looking up this committee, but couldn't find it. High quality Peruvian fish oil is what he says he has. I don't know about you, but I don't think you get high quality products from places where you can't drink the water. Just a little common sense here is all it takes when you think about it. There are a lot of comparisons made in the letter that appear to be scientific, but they're not. There's even a classic straw man chart, where Peruvian fish oil is compared to other oils in the market, and "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!" just like Gomer Pyle used to say, Peruvian Fish Oil wins all the categories. I didn't see anything about pharmaceutical grade fish oil, which has worldwide standards. Just a comparison among commercial grades. So remember, always stick with pharmaceutical grade fish oil - and make sure it isn't from Peru. |
