We don't know yet because there are only few company studies. I am waiting
for independent studies to confirm what has been found in those studies.

Close enough to ignore in most cases. The product he is pushing has a
lower percentage of the fatty acids that contain the omega 3 goodies
then do most fish oil products. Krill are eaten by fish at one level of
the food chain and concentrate the substances in question in their
bodies.

The lipids in krill oil are in phospholipid form. In addition to that krill
oil contains a high amount astaxanthin, a power antioxidant. These are the
reasons why krill oil fatty acids can not be compared directly to fish oils.

Depends on how you define "charlatan," but it's certainly true that he
is selling all kinds of things, and almost certain that he is making
some money by doing so.

I have been doing research for several years now on these kinds of
issues, and I put together a site so that I would not have to post here
the same material over and over again. It is a free site, and I am not
selling anything. There is a page devoted to fish oil information -
material that I don't think you have ever read before. At least do
yourself a favor and read that one page, entitled fish oil quotes you
probably never heard of.

The site is at:
