Okay, well thanks. We have another caller on the line. Roger, are you there? Yeah, hi. Hi, this is Ray Peat on the line with you. Hi, Dr. Peat. Thank you for taking my call. My question centers around omega-3 fatty acids. A couple years ago, I came across a supplement of whole fish oil, of salmon fish oil that contained omega-3s, and it was touted as being a great supplement to help arthritis and lower triglyceride levels and that kind of thing. And then I read your research which sort of contradicted all of these things that I was hoping that fish oil would do, like save my great antioxidant and reverse my aging process probably about 20 years. But I was wondering if you could elaborate on what you found and explain what you think the dangers are of taking supplements of fish oil. Because I've been seeing that these fatty acids, the omega-3s are showing up in all kinds of organic products like organic milk and baby formula. And it seems kind of dangerous to me if there is a problem with the supplement.
