What's your problem with fish oil?

RE: arthritis at 29 ?!?!
Even the least "fishy" fish tastes icky to me. Somewhere in middle school, I just stopped liking it. Sometimes, I can eat popcorn shrimp, but that's about it. I grew up near the Gulf Coast, spending many vacations on a boat in a lake or on the Gulf, fishing. My mom can cook them very well, and I've had them cooked other ways, too. Fish turns my stomach. Sometimes, even Cesar dressing (which has fish in it) can do the same.

Are there “side effects” to Coconut Oil?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - Tropical Traditions
Coconut oil is a food, not a medication, and therefore it does not have "side effects." Since individuals vary, there could be adverse reactions, especially if your body is used to a low-fat diet regimen. The most common reaction is diarrhea. While 3.5 Tbsp. is recommended as the daily intake by some researchers, it is probably best not to start with that amount, or eat it all at once. Spread it out over the course of the day, and reduce the amount you ingest if there are unwanted effects.
