...did you even read the article? The study found a link between blood concentration of omega-3 fatty acids and prostate cancer. The issue is with omega-3s in general, not that particular form of supplement.

The article also states that there is little evidence for any benefits from similar supplements.

I think that if the risks associated with pollutants in fish oil capsules were significant enough to affect the results, they would have been mentioned in the study.
