This time it's about fish oil tablets we have been recommended to take for years ....... Grrrr!

[ummmm]

Lol...the good ole DailyMail...

[Ann]

I really don't know where they get all their info from - is it made up?

[ummmm]

I haven't got a clue but everything causes cancer. Who did the research?

[237SJ]

I think that just proves once again that unless you have been diagnosed as deficient in something, chucking a load of supplements down your throat isn`t necessary. The amount of omega 3 etc that you need is what would be found in nature (by eating varied diet) and high concentrations of anything whether it`s fish oil or vitamins isn`t natural.

[Sqad]

237SJ is correct once again.

If you read the article carefully, it alluding to the "lethal form of prostate cancer", which is bar far the least common form of the prostate cancers.

Nothing wrong with the Daily Mail...but I agree it is confusing.

I've reached the conclusion that everything's bad for you in one way or another.

[emmie]

it was on the radio news just now, so obviously not just the DM

[Ann]

Did any one notice last night - they were labelling the Archbishop of Armagh, Archbisopric ? sudduv Freudian innit ?

anyway Ann - didja notice - it is only men.

[Peter Pedant]

They must have confused the Archbishop with Cardinal O'Brien

(damn missed that one, brain not in gear)
