The last time I heard, fish oil had high amounts of vitamin A, which nearly any health-concious person knows can be very toxic in high amounts. A woman that I know was being treated for suspected liver cancer. Then they found she didn't have cancer and the doctors were scratching their heads. She started brainstorming with family members and someone mentioned that she had started taking fish oil (she has some heart trouble) and was taking a little extra. She stopped the pills and the trouble went away. Bottom line, take no more than the recommended daily dose (or even less) unless your doctor tells you otherwise and you'll probably be okay.
