Fish oil is like vitamin C: it's a done deal, it's not experimental, and it's known to do so much for so many health challenges, that there's no excuse for not taking it.
Basically, what you're taking the fish oil for is to get a sufficient amount of omega 3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA. Recommended amounts vary from 2 to 5 grams daily; I take 2 grams, but there's almost no reports of adverse effects from those taking 5 (or even more) grams daily.
An aftertaste is sometimes a problem. If it is with you, keep experimenting until you find one that doesn't give you the aftertaste. Taking your fish oil with a meal will help to minimize this problem as well. (I take all of mine with breakfast because despite my reputation for being a health freak, I'm not, and I tend to forget things like this unless I get it done first thing in the morning).
So here's your second thing to do to make yourself healthy and beautiful in 2008. A mega-dose of vitamin C is what I suggested yesterday. Tomorrow: start walking.
