Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: Barry Finn Date: 06 Feb 09 - 08:18 AM Cape Cod was famed & named after the abundant large fish local to the area. Today you can hardly hook or net a one that's over the legal limit in size. Where'd they go? Gone to oil every where, when will they ever learn? Barry |

See the book Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky. Can you still buy cod liver oil? I know you can buy fish oil, but that's a different thing. |

Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: VirginiaTam Date: 06 Feb 09 - 08:45 AM As a sufferer of rheumatoid arthritis, I was advised to try and did try supplements for the sake of my joints. Unforutnately they are either mixed with minerals and/or vitamin C and so tore my tummy up. So I am not taking. I wonder if perhaps given the reduced fish stocks that it should be only a prescribable supplement for those with diagnosed joint problems? Nah! A nightmare to administrate and drug companies won't touch production of naturally available herbs and oils because they can't patent them. We are all f*cked! |

Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Feb 09 - 08:56 AM Yes, you can still buy cod liver oil. It's at the local stores here. You can also buy a number of other fish oils. |

Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: gnomad Date: 06 Feb 09 - 09:06 AM You can certainly still buy pure CLO in the UK, either in capsules or just bottled. Versions with various mineral/vitamin additions can also be had. Cod is still caught and eaten hereabouts, though quotas are in force to limit the take. I haven't checked, but always assumed that fish oil was in fact fish liver oil, but from whatever species was victim of the moment. |

Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: Alice Date: 06 Feb 09 - 10:15 PM I take fish oil in capsules. You can't taste the oil. It's from anchovies and sardines. Good for you, and I can't get as much from eating fish. |

Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: Alice Date: 08 Feb 09 - 01:00 PM snip "However, for heart health, a fish oil dietary supplement is recommended by most medical experts and naturopathic practitioners. ALA needs to be converted to DHA and EPA in the body....and this conversion does not always take place, especially for people who are in less than optimal health. This would include many elderly folks. On the other hand, if you're in good health flax seed ALA may be converted by the body to DHA and EPA. Thus, when the heart is concerned in the flax oil vs fish oil debate, fish oil wins in our opinion since you can get the crucial DHA and EPA directly through a quality fish oil. For brain health and symptoms like depression, a fish oil dietary supplement is recommended for much the same reasons. The brain needs large amounts of DHA, but if the body needs the ALA for some other reason, it may not ever be converted to DHA." from this article We evolved eating meat and fish. |

Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 08 Feb 09 - 01:13 PM We evolved eating anything that came along. I suspect that meat and fish would have been pretty scarce items in the diets of our ancestors most of the time. |

Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: Alice Date: 08 Feb 09 - 02:46 PM Of course hominids ate other things as well. My statement was not that our ancestors ate only meat and fish. Diet diversity allowed hominids to colonize many different types of climates and terrains in the world. |

Subject: RE: BS: So if Cod liver oil is good for you From: the lemonade lady Date: 10 Feb 09 - 11:00 AM Hear hear! I just know that I can't take a life. I have tried, and because it wasn't necessary, failed miserably. We can now live without meat or fish; I am very healthy and fit and have been veggie for 29 years. If I had to kill an animal, which to me means end it's life taking the life and soul of the creature, I would have to be desperately hungry. It really isn't necessary in the 21st century and if we feel we should eat meat, we should experience first hand killing of an animal. I also think that all 6th formers should be forced to witness what goes on in slaughter yards. Sal |
