"In addition to lowering blood pressure and blood lipids, eating fish oil can also regulate immunity, lower insulin, fight depression, prevent Alzheimer's disease, and fight cancer? The Consumers' Foundation said yesterday that fish oil is by no means "everyone eats good, the more you eat, the better." .” The efficacy of fish oil has been exaggerated, consumers should be careful when consuming it. (This advertisement is exaggerated to such an extent. It is really a vicious businessman. Fish oil is completely useless to the human body. Eating too much can be harmful. Please stop eating fish oil.)"
"The Consumers' Association stated that fish oil contains highly unsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA can reduce triglycerides and prevent arteriosclerosis; DHA is an important component of brain cells. But fatty acids are easy to oxidize and produce free radicals. Excessive free radicals It can cause lipid metabolism, immune system abnormalities, arteriosclerosis, and even cancer, so you must be very careful when taking fish oil capsules. (Almost all nutritional supplements made by Westerners can cause cancer, so it’s just fish oil.)"
The Consumers' Foundation pointed out that the current medically confirmed effects of fish oil are only lowering triglycerides, inhibiting thrombosis, lowering blood pressure, and lowering blood lipids. Some manufacturers in the market claim that it can lower insulin (suitable for diabetics), regulate immunity (for people with allergies), and even have anti-depression, Alzheimer’s, anti-cancer and other functions, which have no medical basis.
Xie Yanyao, deputy director of Hexin Cancer Center Hospital, said that the US Food and Drug Administration and US nutrition experts have conducted risk assessments and suggested that fish oil intake should be four grams a day as a safe value, and it is appropriate not to exceed 2.5 grams (about two grams sold in the market). capsule weight).
Xie Yanyao explained that fish oil is mainly extracted from fish fat. Because it is a mixture, it contains Omega3 and Omega6. The former protects blood vessels, while the latter is easy to constrict blood vessels, so it is not advisable to take too much. One gram of fish oil has nine calories, which is more than twice that of sugar. "Eating too much will make you fat."
"The Consumers' Foundation believes that fish oil is more suitable for the elderly and patients with cardiovascular disease. It is not recommended for pregnant women and diabetic patients. It is also not suitable for hemophiliac patients who are taking aspirin, blood lipid-lowering drugs and blood coagulation insufficiency. Because aspirin Other medicines and fish oil will speed up blood circulation, and under the combined effect, it will have adverse effects. (People are blind, who knows? The only way is not to take western medicine and vitamins at all.)"
"Natural is good", Xie Yanyao emphasized, fish oil is definitely not as good as eating more. Pregnant women want to "replenish the brain" of their fetus. Eating fish two days a week can supplement the DHA they need, such as sardines, mackerel, tuna, salmon, etc. , are good choices, vegetarians can also eat perilla instead.
