Doctor Price was right, as usual. Cod liver oil is very good for you, more than you ever knew. Research studies ranging from 1918-2001 give cod liver oil an A+ rating. This marvelous golden oil contains large amounts of elongated omega-3 fatty acids, preformed vitamin A and the sunlight vitamin D — essential nutrients that are hard to obtain in sufficient amounts in the modern diet. Samples may also naturally contain small amounts of the important bone- and blood-maintainer vitamin K. So,
• Cod liver oil provides vitamin D that helps build strong bones in children and helps prevent osteoporosis in adults.
• The fatty acids in cod liver oil are also very important for the development of the brain and nervous system
• Cod liver oil greatly improves heart function to prevent heart disease and to treat it even in advanced stages, after a heart attack and after heart surgery
• Cod liver oil alters the linings of the arteries in such a way as to improve healing after damage
• Cod liver oil can provide vitamin A on a continuous basis throughout the year.
• Many of the conditions addressed by cod liver oil are considered related under the title Syndrome X. These include obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, adult onset diabetes and stroke
• In numerous studies, the elongated omega-3 fats found in cod liver oil have been shown to improve brain function, memory, stress response, immune response, allergies, asthma, learning and behavioral disorders, including bipolar syndrome and manic-depression
• Cod liver oil is most famous for contributing to bone health, preventing and reversing rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults
• Pregnant women using cod liver oil have infants with a lower risk for juvenile type 1 diabetes. This effect was found only in mothers taking cod liver oil, not in mothers taking multivitamin supplements.
