Fish oil - new study shows no benefit!

[Maruschke]

I don't think you take fish oils for iodine, bon. Just the Omega 3s. Iodine is included in pregnancy multis, or can be obtained through iodised salt. Or shellfish.

Anyway, I'm thrilled, because I haven't taken any fish oil for my own ethical reasons and was getting the guilts over it.

Hi Audax, I didn't recognise you with your new name and avvy, super congrats on the pg! I understand your personal reasons for not wanting to take fish oil, are there any other alternatives?

Thanks! I can't believe you figured it out so quick!

Flaxseed oil is one alternative, and chia seeds, which have 8 times as much Omega 3 w/w than salmon. So in theory, I take both. In practice, I hate flaxseed oil, and conveniently "forget" from time to time. The chia seeds are so good though.

DH eats a lot of chia seeds! He loves them. He makes a 'treat' for us, which is a mixture of different seeds and nuts glued together with corn syrup or rice syrup, it's a great way to get the nutrients you want out of seeds and nuts. I should pester him for the recipe.

Well, I only just worked it out! How slow am I? Congrats from me too.

That was totally off topic...sorry.
