Sea water is polluted with heavy metals. Therefore, salmon affected, including those fish oils. GNC salmon supplement more expensive becoz the source of salmon is more trusted. According to the GNC staff.
That was what I thought too. I remember big deep sea predator fish like shark and tuna tend to have higher mercury levels. So I was kind of surprised to hear salmon has high mercury as I believe most of the fresh salmon sold in the market is farmed.dimsum:
Just to share, I did some googling and this website categorises fish from highest mecury level to lowest mercury level. Hey, salmon is classified under lowest mecury level! Code fish is under lower mercury level.

Those cheaper fish oil or salmon, from unreliable sources, can have higher content of heavy metals. The price difference quite a lot. -

Do you go for low cholesterol, Vit E, Omega3-fortified eggs?
Where do you get kampong eggs from?dimsum:
For egg, DS eats kampong eggs while daddy and mummy eat the cheapest eggs available on the rack.
Cost more.... may be good for old folks... :celebrate: -

I bought from NTUC. I believe all major supermkts sell them. The packaging will indicate \"Kampong chicken eggs\". One brand is Chew's Eggs. Currently, I am residing overseas and I buy organic eggs.

Yup, sometimes. Depends on my mood at that point in time

Wife dared not take these lower cholesterol eggs with Vit E.
She worried about extra-chemical inside these eggs. Therefore, there are 2 kinds of eggs in the fridge. :celebrate:
Sometimes the chicks are hatched.....

I think same with other slimming methods, you have to constantly watch your diet. so far, I seen him not eating a lot now, since the stomach has been 'stapled'to be smaller. when he was young, the stomach has already been expanded (due to more feeding from young), so now that the stomach is smaller, he has to get used to eating smaller portion. and he cannot eat too fast, I dunno why. maybe can find out more from doctor?? :? sometimes, he has difficulty swallow too fast.smurf:
he is not vain, he is quite a laid back chap but because due to health, he has to go for the stomach binding. dun think that it's good to go for such operation, after the operation, he cannot eat a lot, tiny bowl of rice can make him full and he has to eat slowly.
Does it really work? Any side effects? If not, maybe I shud ask my DH to do it then as he's plumpy since a little kid. Now his mom is blaming me for not taking care of his precious son, although she's the one who didn't instill a healthy eating habbit into him during his childhood :x
(I should probably move this to the IL thread :rant: ) -

it's ok lah...smurf:

:oops: sorry for being presumptuous. Hope he is alright after the operation.

from what I know the bigger the fish, the higher the mercury content. shark is considered very big fish, that’s why the mercury content is higher…ngor fish is good for kids because it’s a ‘softer’kind of fish, meaning the meat is not as rough as some fish. batang is quite rough in texture…cod fish is also good, as it has omega-3…good for brain development…and the texture is ‘soft’’ not rough, suitable for kids to swallow…if you buy those rough meat fish, kids may have difficult in swallowing…

I took a lot of fish oils for many years. Memory very good.
The downside of good memory: find very hard to forget things.
What to do? How to forget things, esp. unpleasant things :? -

My Kiasu Sister in law gives a lot of supplements to her kids. Feed them with a lot of DHA Omega3 food including Salmon. She wants them to do better than her.
Her kids both have behavioural problems... think is Austism or ADHD. Can you imagine, a 5 yr old boy, went to Macdonald, kicked 5 adults until one of the woman brought his son to confront my SIL.. :x
SIL brought kid for diagnosis. They found high content of mercury in the boy's brain. :?:
Scary right? Mercury can cause all sorts of funny diseases... no joke.
Salmon fish contains certain % of heavy metals, i think.
First of all, ADHD & Autism is not simply a behavioural problem...they are developmental disorders that can manifest in behavioural problems. Your SIL is on the right track with the fish oils...ask her to look into Gluten Free & Casein Free Diet (GFCF). Just google it there's lots of info on the web. Or she can contact me if she's interested to learn more, I'll be happy to share. My boys both have ADHD and my younger son is Autistic. They have been on this diet for 1.5yrs & it has has helped a lot.
Soy (if you have no allergy to it) or rice milk is best. Buy it commercially (see the box indicates gluten free, lactose free etc...) if you can afford it - it is expensive, or if not, make you own at home. I have recipes for both if anyone is interested.
