Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Fresh is best! Keep in mind that one can overdose on fish oil due to the vt. A content & other things. Fresh fish eggs are a good source of quality fish oils, just ask for them @ any fresh fish market.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks Carolyn and , There's no expiration date that I see. It's Blue Ice. Dave said I should just smell it. It's nitrogen-flushed, so I don't see why it would go bad without opening it. Jim, I think it's unlikely to overdose on any reasonable amount of CLO from the vitamin A because this particular brand as well as the others most of us use is high in vitamin D. I have a couple articles on the WAPF site on the fat-soluble vitamins discussing the importance of the balance between these two. I personally would be more concerned about getting too much PUFA. However, the high vitamin A content protects them against oxidation, so CLO is safer than fish body oil in my opinion. Chris > Fresh is best!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 the expiration date is hard to find on the Blue Ice. it is printed along the side and you need to turn the bottle sideways in order to read it. > > Anyone have any opinion on whether cod liver oil that has NOT been > > opened and been refrigerated for about 2 years should be good?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Another rule of thumb to ponder....never trust anything that has more than three ingredients in it. Or, how about this one...too much of anything is not good for you. I have personally witnessed, in hospital ER's, overdoses of such inert ingredients as plain drinking water. For most of us who do not insanely binge consume, I agree the chance is remote & would only like to reinforce that the potential is there to overdose on anything, even oxygen. Hope you discover a good use for your blue ice product. Best Always, Jim Masterjohn <chrismasterjohn@...> wrote: Thanks Carolyn and , There's no expiration date that I see. It's Blue Ice.

Thanks, those are good points. You are right you can get too much of anything. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
