Not sure if you want my opinion but I feel moderation..like the amount you are currently taking is the best. As far as I'm aware high dosage long term effects are not known..
Take the Inuit..what is their life expectancy?? OK the short life expectancy would be due to other factors...but that's the point I'm trying to make...noone really knows ..Tooooo may factors.
Also one needs to take into account the genetic/environmental differences when considering diets..it IS relevant.
I've kinda recall reading..don't remember where ,where different supps/diets effect people from different racial/genetic backgrounds differently..so quoting what happens in one "race" is may not be relevant to another.Also have a think about the climate differences between where you live and where the Inuit live.
Perhaps just aim for bringing the omega3/omega6 ratio in one's diet back to pre 1900 (or more natural for human) levels?
Now I've no idea just how many capsules this would be according to one's weight etc, but if ya feel good on the level you are supplementing at..I'd be staying there.
Also you might consider green veges as well as a source of omega3 ..maybe?
