It seems to me that Mercola pushes what is most profitable for him.

So I glance at his newsletters, and sometmes read the articles, I do

not really trust him for advice about anything he is selling.

Agreed. But in this article he is not selling anything. So he is giving

advice here about nothing he is selling, it seemed to be anyway.

I would not touch krill oil, for ecological reasons. Krill stocks

worldwide are down 70-80 % in the past 30 years. It isn't worth

encouraging more destruction of this food source causing more decline in

species who depend on krill for survival so that humans can have more EFAs.

I completely agree with you and discovered my error after I had purchased two

bottles. I am almost done with my second and will not be purchasing Krill oil

again. I'm a little worried and have been researching my options for

replacement. I am interested in Moxxor but am not thrilled with the price tag.

It is also so " new " that I have not seen much unbiased research on it. Any

thoughts would be great.

I would use molecularly distilled fish oil omega 3. I tried it, but

couldn't tolerate it very well. I was hoping enough iodine would have

been removed that I could use it daily but I can only take it once in a

while, when my allergic reaction is at a nonexistant level. Otherwise it

makes me get the itchies that are early stage hives and eczema. It seems

counterproductive to take something I have to dose extra antihistamine for.
