For example, they have found high levels of PCBs (polychlorinatedbiphenols, which are known carcinogens), general levels of toxins that would never be allowed in American products, dioxin (another carcinogen), lead and high levels of mercury (highly toxic).

oil. Here are some of the disturbing study results: Eleven of 35 fish oil, krill oil, algal oil, and calamari oil supplements (sources of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids) failed recent tests which found:- Two supplements exceeded contamination limits for PCBs.- Four supplements contained about 20 to 30% less than the claimed amounts of EPA, DHA, or other omega-3 fatty acids, including one of the contaminated products.- An enteric-coated softgel released its fish oil too early.- One softgel product contained spoiled fish oil.- Three products contained two to three times the claimed amounts of EPA or other fatty acids and one mislabeled its fat content as 1 mg when it was 1,000 mg (1 gram).- In addition, an expensive "pure" krill oil supplement was actually a blend with fish oil.
