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).”
