The author seems to have mistakenly interpreted ref 80 Fantin VR, 2006. In the author's article he says, "Rats were fed fish oil or beef tallow." I could not find a mention of the diets that the animals used by Fantin et al were fed. In addition, the animals used in the Fantin VR, 2006 were not rats, they were FVB female mice. Lastly, in the authors discussion on Fantin VR, 2006, he states that mitochondrial enzyme activity was measured in kidney cells, which is wrong also. The mitochondrial experiments were performed on breast cancer cell lines. I doubt the veracity of the authors conclusions, as they relate to fish oil damaging mitochondria, do to the gross misrepresentation of Fantin VR, 2006 to support that particular hypothesis.
