nah man im not scared of the chf and its well managed, i know its just cause shes getting on in years but whatever i die of it will still likely be related to cv system. im not worried about the now, what im concerned with right now is coming up with a thesis for my masters. ive started learning how to collect neuromuscular data using fine wire and tungsten needles, shits really cool. need to design an experiment most likely dealing with neuromuscular fatigue.

o.o

wow that sounds pretty crazy, that sounds like some PhD type shit, not masters.

its all my lab does, emg studies and imaging studies (muscle and bone architecture). theres this phd student who uses a big capacitor magnet (TMS machine) to stim neurons in the motor cortex in order to make muscles contract lol had that done to me

wait what about fish oil being bad?

hes just saying the mercury content can be bad for you despite fish oil being good by itself

yeah but i thought most fish oils dont have any mercury? or very very low levels?

real fish on the other hand can be a different story

I mean where do you think they get fish oil from

thought they can filter that out or some shit lol

Abstract
CONTEXT:

Fish consumption has been associated with a decreased risk of coronary artery disease. Recent studies have illustrated that the high mercury content in cold-water fish may negate the cardiovascular benefits of fish meals. Fish oils have similar antiatherogenic properties to fish, and similar studies should be performed to determine the level of mercury in fish oils.
OBJECTIVE:

To determine the concentration of mercury in 5 over-the-counter brands of fish oil.
RESULTS:

The levels of mercury in the 5 different brands of fish oil ranged from nondetectable (<6 microg/L) to negligible (10-12 microg/L). The mercury content of fish oil was similar to the basal concentration normally found in human blood.
CONCLUSIONS:

Fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and their consumption is recommended to decrease the risk of coronary artery disease. However, fish such as swordfish and shark are also a source of exposure to the heavy metal toxin, mercury. The fish oil brands examined in this manuscript have negligible amounts of mercury and may provide a safer alternative to fish consumption.
