And I know soemthing that thins the blood without the negatives of fish oil: vitamin E.
You mean for me to post studies that, unlike yours, were not payed for private parties with financial interests at stack?
What diffeence does this make? Interfering with the absorption of any mineral is bad for you, so the specific mineral that is less absorbed when you mega dose a certain mineral is not relevant as the end result is the same: your health is impaired.
Actually, 50 miligrams is the maximum physiologically tolerable levle of Zinc you can take. More than that and Zinc becomes a poison, and starts to affect your health negatively in far more ways than simply inhibiting the absorption of other minerals. Anything above 15 miligrams is not used by the body and represents a burden that must be dealt with by the whole system. Even Victor Conte stated - don't ask me to post the quote or a link because I read this interview with him in the M&F many years ago - that he might have been wrong and that the dose of 30 miligrams of Zinc in ZMA might be excessive.

there is no way to measure at which point anti oxidants become pro oxidants. Oxidation is not a very good argument against fish oil, as i outlined that exercise induces far more oxidation then fish oil. Post some relevant research and i will do the same until then your argument is pretty moot.

references? it depends on the individual, many people are deficient in zinc, people like polquin have his athletes take up to 100 mgs a day with nothing but positives reported. Again, you cant make such broad generalizations to the general population as mineral and vitamin status changes according to activity,age,diet,health..

where are you getting this from, you know that the peer reviewed process does not operate with doctored studies, and companies are obligated to release studies regardless of conclusion.

no. In orthomolecular medicine many times nutrient levels are out of wack, some need to come down, like copper for instance, and some need to come up. For example reducing iron in a hepatitis patient or someone with cirohsis of the liver is beneficial. Likewise taking vitamin c in this case in high doses is negative and harmful to the individual.
