The intake of Salmon Oil versus Fish Oil supplements:
“ For 1 portion (200 g) per week of
fish containing the maximum admissible limit for PCDD/PCDFs
(4 pgTEQ/g fish), the total intake would be 200 x 4 = 800 pg
TEQ, which is very close to the recommended weekly intake of
PCDD/PCDFs of 14 pg TEQ/Kg body weight (~14 x 70 kg = 980 pg
TEQ).
Contrarily, using 1 capsule fish oil supplement/day
containing the maximum admissible lipid (2 pg TEQ/g oil), the
weekly intake would be 7 x 1 x 2 pg TEQ = 14 pg TEQ, which is
substantially lower (~70 times) than the recommended weekly
intake.
In this way we demonstrate that even if
the fish oil supplements contain a PCDD/PCDF content which slightly
exceeds, the dioxin intake is minimal using these supplements
compared with the intake via consumption of fresh fish (from
contaminated locations).”
