Which is correct? And when he says "Start with," is there some sort of progression that should follow? Opinions?

I take 6g combined EPA/DHA. There's no progression, unless you are looking to find the minimum amount that gives you the effect that you're looking for (cutting inflammation, reducing ____ symptoms, etc.).
Some people are concerned about negative effects of too much of the oil (like bleeding or something?). So, those people might ramp it up.
I have nothing to "look for" and I'm not concerned about taking too much, so I just take it and assume that it's helping me (like a vitamin).
