The first risk on the list says "
increased" bleeding "
can" occur. You're insinuating a little too much here. I have not noticed any such "side effects" of fish oil. No numbers were mentioned in that list. Here's a few for you:

The researchers of the GISSI-Prevenzone study enrolled 11,323 people who had previously suffered from a heart attack. After 3.5 years, the ones who took 1 gram of fish oil each day had almost a 50% reduction in sudden death from heart attack.
Another recent study in Japan found that adding fish oil supplementation to a statin regimen improved survival from heart attack by an additional 16%.
A recent study published in Surgical Neurology supplemented individuals with 1100 mg of EPA/DHA. Most patients had degenerative disc conditions (notice the carry-over for powerlifters or those who move some serious iron with potential overuse injuries). After 75 days of fish oil supplementation, 60% of respondents reported significant improvements, including reduction in overall pain, and 59% were able to stop taking other pain medicine!

There are literally hundreds more studies about fish oil. And my recommendation for six grams a day was extremely conservative. Charles Poliquin recommends 30-45 grams daily.
