You are making some critical errors.
First, should I, as a member of T-Nation, NOT promote a product that I know works simply because it is sold by Biotest? I did in fact mention that there are “highly touted major brands” that should be purchased.
However, should I encourage others to take products that I have never taken and know little about?
Furthermore, doesn’t it make sense that anyone who hangs out here on a regular basis and buys Biotest products would recommend them? They work, are reasonably priced and are of the highest quality.
Are we supposed to NOT mention any Biotest brand simply to make visitors like you feel better?
Finally, I want to see your studies on the dangers of fish oil. I have no knowledge of such information. However, I do have plenty of information regarding the benefits of said supplement.
And as I said I have taken high doses for about six years with great results!
I really don’t care about the supplement pushing. If it is what funds this site, the more power to you. There are more people and posts here than usenet so i’m not complaining. HOWEVER, the bias to me seems that because it sells fish oil, it will do everything in its power to discredit any info suggesting that it is not so healthy afterall…even if it is valid info. But I guess the same can be said for casein causing cancer etc. Perhaps the difference between this site and others are that this one is preoccupied with muscle growth predominately and not health and well being overall.
As for the negatives on fish oil. I have provided a link – go through and read the various essays. Look up Dr. Peat and his July 2005 newsletter entitled the “Great Fish Oil Experiment”. Or PM me your email and i’ll send it to you. Also check out usenet and look up what some of the various academics have to say about it.
As I said, i’m not knocking fish oil. However, I think people should do a little more research instead of taking it because people tell them it’s so healthy. I encourage others to do the same with ALL supplements, not just this one.
The most important parameter of “studies” is to first determine who is PAYING for the study.

You have somehow missed the most important point of my first post on this thread!
I have something far more important than a “study.” I have used fish oil for about six years and it has made all the difference in my blood profile. It lowered my LDL and raised my HDL.
That would be in the area of “health.” In addition to that fish oil is a great supplement for bodybuilding purposes.
By the way, I have read the few posts that you have on this board. You seem to be knocking whey protein on another thread.
Are you here as an objective reader, or did you come here for a purpose?
