Just wondering how it would work to actually cook with CLO or fish
oil -- I know not to fry with it because it is so extremely unsaturated, but how about in a lemony mayonnaise for making tuna salad? I'm talking about real cod liver oil from Walgreens, not the watered-down (literally; it's 2/3 water) flavored kind they sell at Walmart for the same price. It might be a good way to get vitamin D and preformed vitamin A in the winter months. (or it might still be nasty.) I was thinking about it because I'm giving CLO, canned pumpkin, and ground flaxseed to my dog as "treats" because the vet says vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids will fix up his flaky itchy skin. I have to hide the CLO by stirring it into a bit of stinky catfood or the remnants of my morning oatmeal because he's decided that it's medicine and won't eat it if he notices it. I haven't gotten up the nerve to try a spoonful myself yet. :-P Bob |

If we misbehaved we got a 'dose' of cod liver oil. Mother would hold our noses and we had to open our mouths to breathe and she shoved a spoon full in and you had to swallow it. To this day I can't abide the stuff. |

I won't even take Omega 3 capsules if they smell remotely like what they are - fish oil. She also believed that growing boys needed a glass of warm milk every night before they went to bed. The neighborhood cats loved me. As soon as she left the room I dumped it out the window and went on to bed without a sour stomach. I still don't drink milk unless I have cookies to go with it. |

The > gelatin capsule was not in common use and I date my detestation of even > slightly unfresh fish from the taste of cod liver oil of that time. When I was four years old living in Copenhagen, I remember at lunchtime one of the teachers would go around with an eyedropper of cod liver oil and make sure all of our sandwiches had a good squirt of it. I don't remember it being unpleasant at all. Today, I would not recommend it. It's an uncontrolled dose of vitamin A which can lead to an overdose. Vitamin A is one of the vitamins for which an unhealthful overdose is possible. It's also an uncontrolled dose of vitamin D, which is also harmful in overdose. Wikipedia has an eye-opening article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_liver_oil I wonder if the cod liver oil I was given was made by the so-called "fermentation" process. Even if so, I'm not sure whether that's any less yucky than production as a by-product of making fish meal, as done today. |

The recommended dosages for most CLO brands is grossly inadequate, they are simply playing it safe due to some misguided studies which used *synthetic* Vit A - which is *nothing* like naturally occurring forms of Vit A. Just be sure that you buy a decent quality CLO, one that does not contain any synthetically produced vitamins.
