   Question about Fish Oil Vitamin (High Cholesterol board)

1st September 2007
Hello, :)

I am reading a book about asthma, written by an M.D. and an asthma sufferer. He highly recommends using fish oil supplements.

A couple of interesting things he mentions:

In some people, fish oil raises LDL.
Fish oil can raise blood sugar.
It can react unfavorably with Pravastatin and Simvastatin.
Nutritional experts recommend washing fish oil down with an antioxidant (preferrably vitamin E) to preserve the potency of oil, which is sensitive to oxygen degradation.

I thought I'd mention it.
