(A) Some dietary supplements have been shown to have harmful side effects.
(B) Omega-3's occur in extremely low quantities in some kinds of fish.

(D) The majority of people who eat fish say that they do so because they like the taste of fish.
(E) Researchers have found evidence that fish oil supplements would also reduce the effects of asthma and arthritis for some persons.
