Can anyone make an estimate as to why Mercola is all the sudden

backpedaling on Cod Liver Oil? Even the good stuff?

It seems to me he posted that without taking anything into

consideration what Weston Price Foundation had to say:

December 2008 Cod Liver Oil update:

http://westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/CLOUpdateDec2008.pdf

Information update on Cod Liver Oil December 2008:

http://westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/Information-clo-update-dec08.pdf

My position is still the same: If the cod liver oil is naturally

occurring Vitamin A & D and not cheap synthetic stuff found in Nordic

Naturals and the like - it is a good and necessary thing for us

because we are not an animal organ eating family.

For years traditional peoples have been using high doses of Vitamin A

from animal flesh and there were no reports of anyone getting " toxic "

from it.

Mercola's article smells of quackery.

I believe that Mercola is an endorser (i.e. receives money) on the

Antartic Krill Oil found here:

http://products.mercola.com/krill/

I'm not sure that pushing cod liver oil does anything for the krill

oil sales. I myself take krill oil, though not the brand advertised

on Mercola, for the antioxidant benefits. It is not, however a good

source of Vitamin D.

He is very much giving advice that is profit and bottomline based. If

he persuades people against CLO and offers his krill oil as

replacement ... sounds like a sales pitch to me. This isn't the first

time he's pulled something like this. At least two people have

pointed out to me that his blog or " discussion area " is so heavily

monitored that anything said against what he sells or " believes in " is

immediate removed.
