Many fish oils in the United States have been found to be ‘rancid’ by independent tests. &nbsp;

Out of the 60 large retail brands tested, over one in 10 fish oil supplements were stale. Nearly half were just under the recommended maximum limit. Some recorded levels even 11 times higher than recommended. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The tests have been conducted over several years by Labdoor.

In fish oils, rancidity means a strong fishy taste and rotten smell. “It was fairly frequent. For us, they would start to smell and feel off,” said Dan Mark, Labdoor’s research director. &nbsp;

An average of 20% fish oil products has excess oxidation, showed a combination of several studies carried out globally since 2015. &nbsp;

“That means if you go out and buy fish oil, there is at least a one in five chance of you getting an oil more oxidised than the recommended level,” said Dr Ben Albert, fellow, University of Auckland, whose research focuses on the effects of fish oil. &nbsp;

Flavourings are added by most fish oils to mask rancidity. “Flavouring is added to fish oils to help mask fishy smell and taste, and … might make more oxidised oils more palatable for people to take, so it could also be used to hide oxidation of the oil,” added Albert. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Four people died and several more were injured in southern Germany after violent storms with torrential rains caused severe flooding, authorities said on Monday. 
 
One of those killed was a 13-year-old girl who was hit by a train Sunday while seeking shelter from the rains under a railway bridge. 
A boy, 12, who was with her was not physically injured but had to receive trauma counselling, said police in the southern city of Aalen.&nbsp; 
 
In Schwaebisch Gmuend near the city of Stuttgart, a volunteer firefighter died on Sunday trying to rescue a man trapped in a shaft of a flooded railway station, municipal authorities said. 
The man who was trapped was also presumed dead although neither body has been recovered, according to local police. 
 
In Weissbach, just to the north, a 60-year-old man died in a flooded underground garage on the same day.&nbsp; 
 
The regional authorities in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg put the number of injured at around 10. 
 
A number of people had to be rescued from cars trapped in the floods. 
 
National news agency DPA said a river broke its banks in Braunsbach, destroying one house and damaging several others. 
Eyewitnesses posted videos on social network sites showing cars being carried away by the floods and crashing into shop windows. 
&nbsp; 
The head of one rural district in Schwaebisch Hall, Michael Knaus, said that more rain fell in the space of a few hours than normally falls over several months.&nbsp; 
 
State authorities said that as many as 7,000 firefighters, police and rescue workers were called out in some 2,200 incidents.&nbsp;
