Sorry. Fish oil has been proven to have all kinds of benefits. To warn about fish oil and to ignore aspirin, etc. is absurd.

Notwithstanding its proven benefits which I concede, it very clearly increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. (Kromann N, Green A. Epidemiological studies in the Upernavik District, Greenland. Acta Med Scand. 1980; 208: 401–406) cited in Circulation: 2002;106:2747.

Furthermore, case reports are beginning to emerge of uncontrollable hemorrhage during surgical procedures in persons taking greater than 1000mg daily. I am familiar with this phenomenon since I participated in the care of such a patient in January.
