Is creel oil better for you than fish oil?

Stay tuned: We don't know yet. Not too many good independent studies on krill vs fish oil (1 small study on pms), not sponsored by the manufacturer. No difference between pollution in our seas, alas. Stay tuned for now. Meanwhile, we *do* know that eating right (whole grains, fruits&veggies), exercising 30-60 minutes a day, & sleeping well are all proven excellent ways to be well.

Not known: There are simply not enough clinical studies or other information to endorse one type of unsaturated fat, including omega-3 oils, over another. Direct comparisons have not been done and theoretic advantages are not compelling.

Neither: Krill oil and fish oil are the new snake oil, both are high in omega 3 fatty acids which are extremely fragile. Omega 3 fish oils reduce triglycerides by impairing the liver's ablility to make them. However the oxidative stress caused by fish oil actually raises LDL cholesterol. Some day we may use the phrase "this is just more fish /krill oil" or "here comes the fish/krill oil salesman".
