Re: Beth & ne Diet Q re: Cod Liver Oil (Jenni)

[Guest guest]

Hi Jenni,

It depends on the brand cod liver oil you buy. We tried a variety

and found that the lemon flavored one by Carlson's tasted the

best. For us their really isn't much taste, but everyone has

different taste buds.

We tried the gel caps that where mentioned but they are more

expensive, so we opted for the liquid form. Also, some may have

difficulty swallowing the gel caps because of the size. There is

however a good brand by Eskimo III that has super small gel caps

that might work for those unable to swallow the larger caps. Other

than those options just trying to hide it various foods if possible

is the best approach.

Jenni,

Almost forgot to mention that it is important to refrigerate the cod

liver oil, it taste better and last longer.

Beth

Thank you so much for this information.. The links are very helpful

and the Weston A. Price web site is fantastic! Great information

there!!! I was glad to see that they were indorsing the Garden of

Life products ¡V we use quite a few of their products..

I have a feeling that I am going to try to find the Eskimo III gel

caps as I am not finding much success with the liquid form and have

not be able to locate your Lemon flavored variety..

Thank you so much for the great links ¡V you have opened some great

new doors into our family nutrition (I can¡¦t put down the Sally

Fallon book ¡V has great recipes and the kids are loving their new

whole wheat buttermilk pancakes in the morning!)

Let¡¦s hope the gel caps go down smoothly ƒº

Thanks again!
