That's really cool about the fish oil... I'd like to see the study if you could reference it. I've read/heard about Okinawans and their longevity and it seemed like their diet was largely fish. I don't think that the issue is that simple but I eat my salmon almost daily anyway. I just turned 49 and am shooting for triple digits!

But what kind of salmon? Lots of problems seem to be emerging with the farm-raised Atlantic stuff. There's considerable pollution involved. Farm-raised strains escape and adulterate the genetic material of wild fish. And the flesh ranges from gray to very pale pink, and is therefore colored artificially for marketing. You can get smoked wild salmon if you look or order it by mail. And canned salmon is almost always wild.
