A recent blog post by GrassrootsHealth Nutrient Research Institute states: "Observations from recent studies cause concern for those with high triglycerides and at risk for cardiovascular disease."

Lorraine,
I am avoiding fish oil supplements because it triggers palpitations and sometimes afib.
I am sure this will not apply to all but its worth to consider.

Lorraine,

For what it is worth, I have attempted to add fish oil to my diet numerous times over the past 15 years; same result: palpitations after a couple of days, then into afib. So for me, I avoid it like the plague.

I use to avoid omega oils as it would start but I think for myself it caused acid reflux which put me in AFib
