Just wondering if too much omega 3 has side effects like having too much omega 6.
-
Yes, blood coagulation could be inhibited to some extent.

Well I keep going back to Eskimos having a diet high in fish which are super high in omega 3 but low in omega 6. Some being as high as 7:1, it could explain the heart disease. The high calcium to magnesium ratio could also explain the osteoporosis.
-
The rise in heart-disease etc. is solely due to the Eskimoes changing their diets to modern ones including junk-foods. Omega-3 in vast excess does lead to reduced blood-clotting, but that would actually be a benefit protecting against heart-disease.

When I used to take fermented fish oil I bruised easily. Most of the time it was from working out by having weights on me but one time I had a girl grab my arm to pull me to her and the day after I had a big bruise, even though she didn't grab me that hard. I think it all depends on the types of animal products you eat and what the animals eat as this will affect their omega-3 content. I eat grass fed animals so I think my omega-3 content is high enough without the settlement.

Almost all commercial available fish oils, be it fermented or not, are heat treated. As you might now omega three is extremely heat sensitive. You have probably consuming ransic oxidised omega 3. Not very healthy. Eating truly raw whole food omega 3 along with the other oils and bioactive available nutrients is something whole different the processed isolated fish oils.

Very true. If one reads the weston price book you'll read(and see on the pictures) that eskimo's on 100% original diet are disease free have amazing teeth and body's. they lived long healthy lives before we fucked that up.
