A normal daily capsule of fish oil, 1200mg, is about equal to one cup of whole milk. I know that Ray says you cannot avoid pufas but a normal fish oil doesn't seem to make any real difference. I would think the real danger would be eating things like flax seed and walnuts, yet, Ray hardly even mentions these foods except the seed oil companies. Ray even recommends to consume at least 3 liters of milk and I know some Athletes here consume a lot of whole milk.
I really don't see what the fuss is about fish oil, besides Rays science behind PUFA. I have even seen milk companies adding fish oil into whole milk itself and avoid putting it in the 1% type, which I think with their logic you would add it to the low fat milk. And just about every doctor recommends omega-3.
I also know Ray lists a lot of sources in his work but who has time to go through all that? I have even seen some nutritionist who exclusively piggy back off of Ray Peats work. I mean come on, is there really nobody else who you can reference besides Ray and all the other nutritionists who follow Ray? Not going to name anyone but I have found several.
I'm not defending fish oil at all, there is just a lot of contradicting information out there and would like to know what others think about it. I have noticed positive improvements in my health with Ray but also some negatives, probably due to misinformation and lack of information.
Some problems were with the type of milk I was drinking, yet Ray says just drink any old milk. For example the organic fish oil milk... or the pasteurized milk, this stuff made me have blurry vision and slowed my overall mental ability, even left a numb feeling in my stomach. Yet when I drink whole milk I feel happy and can think clearly. I had a allergy panel done too and dairy was the highest reaction, yet my acne almost cleared up completely while drinking it. The only thing I notice is blurry vision and forgetfulness sometimes when I drink none local milk. Also I tried progesterone because someone listed that as a supplement with no side effect except when I took it gave me man boobs and a shrunken right testicle. Still recovering from that or it could be some kind of infection.
But yeah, what's the deal with fish oil.
