Here is a new review which found omega-3 supplementation may cause bad outcomes, and compromise one's immune system function. Your body is optimized to run on food, not pills. Anytime you start taking supplements you increase the risk of unintended consequences. We saw it with Vitamin A...now it looks like omega-3 isn't what everyone had hoped. If you are taking DHA or other omega-3 supplements, why take a potentially risky supplement for a wholly theoretical and unproven benefit? There is no proven benefit to supplementing with Omega-3, but there is a gathering amount of evidence that you could be increasing your risk of cancer and other problems by taking these pills. People get scared into taking Omega-3 by Omega-3 pill sellers for a "just in case" benefit...when instead they should probably be afraid of taking pills not proven safe.
