Re: Re: Chiro advises against Cod Liver Oil?

[Guest guest]

The chiropractor might have been confused on fish oil vs cod LIVER oil.

Lots of people get regular fish oil, which is not the same thing, and not

much use. Even the bright, helpful gal in my local co-op recommended fish

oil when I was asking about CLO the other day. I had to explain the

difference.

Some people are concerned with a Vitamin A overdose. Some CLO's have very

high Vitamin A levels.

From what I read tho, the studies with Vitamin A overdose used SYNTHETIC

Vitamin A.

Maybe that's what the chiropracter was speaking of.

I am not presuming to speak for the mentioned Chiro, but I will add what I know

about the issue with CLO. Dr. Peat, a well known researcher and

esteemed professor has published many articles and papers addressing the issue

of oils. His comments come from published research. He states, " that while CLO

is less toxic than corn or soy oil, a diet rich in fish oil causes intense

production of toxic lipid peroxides. "

I'm going to list the link to his website, so that anyone who is interested can

go in and read his entire paper on Unsaturated Vegetable Oils: Toxic. Some of

his articles are rather technical for lay people, but I think it is still worth

reading. http://www.efn.org/~raypeat/nutri.html

I am not saying whether I agree wholeheartedly with his opinion, but after

reading some of his referenced studies, it gave me a lot to think about. I

guess it just goes back to that age old arguement for eating foods in their

whole and natural state; rather than man thinking that he can one-up nature and

find a shorter route to extract just the " active " ingredients. <<heavy sigh>>

Me either Lyne. Can't handle CLO etc. either. Any other alternatives? I can

choke down a can of tuna if I have to.

Jeanne,

I try to stick with eggs, fish, and another great source of Vit. D are

Shiitake mushrooms.
