[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 1299599, member: 55568"] Some could die, by no means all and to be fair, inuit eat meat as well as seafood. But the idea is the same, eating too much fish oil can be dangerous for some. It's to do with the potential for internal hemorrhaging in some people. The blood thinning qualities in many fish products is great for protecting the heart, the thing that we seem to worry about most in europe and the usa, but it can be fatal for people who have one of a number of bleeding disorders, who we rarely talk about in the media. Another danger is the potential for vitamin toxicity. Quite a few people in the UK get vitamin A poisoning every year through eating too much carotene found in carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes. They think it's healthy. At least with this, you know when you turn orange that you have a problem. You don't with internal bleeding, unless it is near the surface and you start bruising. People are genetically not the same and there are many genes which, for some people are beneficial but which are for others debilitating. For example, for most europeans sickle cell anaemia results in a number of possible conditions which can include pallor and weariness. Sickle cell anaemia though also provides a certain amount of protection against malaria which is great for those living in sub saharan africa but not of much benefit to those living in the UK.
