Thanks for your input. I am not personally taking fish oil supplements (yet) but have been following the various threads on this topic with great interest.
I appreciate posts giving both positive OR negative experiences with fish oil as it gives me both sides of the coin to decide whether or not to give it a try.
I will probably decide to give it a try, but at least if I start getting adverse reactions (such as disturbed sleep) I will be prepared and know that the fish oil is a possible source of these reactions.
I agree fully with you that eating the whole foods is always better than taking a supplement as the fuel that you give your body is exactly as nature intended it(I wonder if the eskimos get the same level of omega-3 in their native diets as people that generally take fish oil supplements get or whether the supplements actually provide higher amounts of EPA and DHA than even the eskimos eat?).
Unfortunately I make lots of mistakes in my diet (usually due to a lack of discipline) and I hope that supplements will fill the gaps that I leave in my diet.
