Fish oil pill

My fish oil was actually recommended by my ophthalmologist, but my cardiologist agreed to it!

I once bought a case of canned cod liver from Iceland. It tastes good, like a liver pâté, and I understand the health benefits are very high, particularly Vitamin D. It has been eaten for centuries in the Nordic Countries. I had as a main course or snack.

My ophthalmologist also recommended fish oil supplements for my dry eye and Salzman’s nodules. I asked my pc about it and he said there’s no proven study that it’s beneficial otherwise. So, idk. One would think it would be good for skin and heart. I haven’t done any research on it.

Hi, folks. Just saw this thread.

My understanding, from fairly recent readings, is that, unless there's a specific medical concern or reason for the fish oil (as some here have posted... eg, dry eyes, etc), it was no longer being recommended as a general, healthful supplement "for the masses."

Is the above no longer the case? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
