Dr Mercola says that he can no longer reccomend cod liver oil. Says "There have been two recent meta-analyses done. The first one showed that people who took vitamin A supplements in cod liver oil, or in supplements, had an 18 percent increase in death rates. The other study showed that unlike third world countries where vitamin A supplementation appears to decrease infections, vitamin A supplementation in developed countries like the U.S. actually increases infections."
He says "modern cod liver oil does not supply these vitamins in healthy ratios to each other."
Wondering if anyone has heard anything about this since Carlsons Cod Liver oil is recommended in the book.
