I feel for you, Aidan, that's gross! If she's after omega-3, maybe flax and chia seeds would do the job? Either that or implement a a policy of seperate sponges for fish oil as well as brewing.

Off topic - Fish oil is a pointless supplement (as are most supplements). There are zero, none, nada studies showing they do anything other than make the companies that sell them wealthy.

Same goes for most vitamins.

And dont get me started on anti-oxidants.

People who take them and 'believe' they do anything are ripe for the picking by homeopaths (aka con artists). Its the belief that actually does something, the power of positive thinking and the very reason double blind trials using placebos exist. Fish oil and almost all vitamins show nothing in these trials and never will.

Deep breath, i go and grab a coffee now and have a lie down.

Pseudo science shits me.

Not true, Doc! Fish oil supplements are the best cure for mercury deficiency! :twisted:

Just as well we all have too much mercury from eating fish. No need to imbibe that awful fish oil. :D :mrgreen: :lol: :twisted:
