> Not giving any nutritional advice here, you just misinterpreted.

There's no point in trying to backtrack after saying "Take vitamins, take fish oil and you'll be fine." Have the grace to just accept that you're wrong and admit that you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Why are you being a jackass to him? What is your justification for saying he has "no fucking clue" ?

Flagged for being inflammatory

I'm not "being a jackass to him," I'm calling him out on his bullshit claims that fish oil is nutrionally beneficial. My justification is the journal article linked in my first post.
"Take vitamins, take fish oil and you'll be fine." <-- this was an answer for that: "You can't live off those products alone, you would miss out on important nutrients."

Again if you have a problem with fish oil it doesn't mean that it's useless and everyone else is wrong about.

I don't have a "problem" with fish oil, I have a problem with people going around claiming that it is nutrionally beneficial. According to your standards for proof of nutrional value, you should also be going around telling everyone to drink donkey semen.
