Mineral oil believed to hinder aborption of omega 3

[Guest guest]

Since some of us deal also with constipation issues with our

children, I thought this article (link below)I stumbled upon, might

be of interest.

It lists items that don't interact well with omega 3. It states:

Interactions and Depletions

Interactions

mineral oil

Olestra containing products

chitosan

orlistat

Bile acid sequestrant

Since from time to time, we have used mineral oil with our daughter,

I was interested in this. Regarding mineral oil, it is

stated: " Mineral oil decreases the absorption of fat-soluble

nutrients, such as omega-3, from the digestive tract. It is

recommended not to take these agents at the same time. "

I have never been on this site before, so not sure of the accuracy,

just passing it on. Carolyn
