Fish Oil: How did I live without it?

I was working out last week and the lady that owns the gym informed me that 5,000mg of fish oil per day will completely eliminate belly fat. Wow...slaving away on the elliptical day in and day out isn't helping, so maybe this will! So I head off to Walgreen's, the store-of-all-stores, to purchase fish oil. I buy 2 bottles of 200 gel caps each and have been taking 5/day since Wednesday. This is my 3rd day. You won't believe what all this pill is good for....
ADHD, anxiety (which we all know I suffer from...), depression, weight loss (of course), prevents cancer, prevents heart disease, adds luster to hair, clears acne and other skin disorders, helps prevent bipolar disorder, reduced risk of breast cancer, improves cholesterol, lowers the risk of heart attack, improves blood flow, AND boosts your immune system. Wow!! I can't believe I've lived 29 years without it!
I must say be prepared for the one negative side effect. Indigestion, leading to belching. Not just any belch. A fishy, sardine, rotten cod kind of belch. And hold your breath when you open the bottle and when you swallow them.
BT won't be kissing me after taking my pills. But HEY!!! Small price to pay.

I'll keep you posted. I'll be a new woman thanks to fish oil!

I'm taking fish oil for my cholesterol but only two a day. I got the kind with no fishy taste. You still taking it?
