In a previous post it was mentioned that fish oil does not contain mercury because it is filtered.I did my own checking with representatives from three companies which produce it, (Omega brite was not one of the)
I chose an average drugstore brand (Jamieson) Mid-range (natural factors) and more "exclusive" Udo's oils.
All three said that they don't have the abiity to filter the oils, that they go by government standards on allowable contaminants and if the oil collected goes over that amount they simply dump it.
I'm not too bothered, hell I used to play with mercury when a thermometer broke..
"wow this stuff is cool the way it sticks together"Ah the good old days when kids were kids and got to play with mercury, didn't have to wear bike helmets and had cement under the teeter-totters
instead of that cushy wimpy rubber stuff..
Do you think thats what made us nuts? : )
