Frankly, i'd like to see some sort of proof that fish oil in caps spoils when left out after open.
Common logic says that these bottles are NOT air tight, they don't "burp" or "pop" when you twist off the cap. They set in warehouses/shelves for God only knows how long, they don't say "refrigerate after opening".
That being said, why wouldn't they spoil setting in a warehouse/on a shelf if they'll spoil once you open them? They are, after all, only inside of a special gelatin capsule. What is the difference between now being closed and up at room temp or 1 week ago on the shelf at wal-mart with the cap on pre-purchased?
I have tasted "fresh" fish oil, by your theory, and i have tasted the inside of a cap from the bottom of a "tub" of 500, which was probably months from when i opened it. It tasted identical.
How then does one tell if it is spoiled if the taste does not change??
With all of these personal known pieces of evidence i have my own theory(ies). They are:
1) Fish oil does not spoil if left at room temperature after opened.
2) Fish oil indeed is spoiled from the very get-go thus making millions of bottles sold every year 100% worthless.
I seem to be quite confused or quite right on the topic.
