(including omegas) Also Fermented foods require a glucose source to create (metabolize) a by-product e.g. lactic acid that prevents the food from<br />decomposing. The result is a pleasant sour taste that one would find with sauerkraut, pickles, yogurt, etc. Cod liver oil has no glucose and cod livers have very little glucose (mostly protein, fat, water and some minerals). The livers and the oil simply go from fresh to rancid in a short period of time. If left to continue decomposing the oil will become putrid leaving a foul smell and taste.<br /><br />Furthermore, Cod, like Shark, are long-lived fish. As they go about living for years and years, and during that time, they accumulate environmental toxins. And the toxins are most concentrated in the livers. So when you drink<br />Cod liver oil, you should expect environmental toxins! That just makes sense!<br /><br />Sadly, atlantic Cod is an over-fished and threatened species.<br /><br />Why not just eat more fish and liver and gain similar yet better benefits since it's a food source? No one tells you that because they want to sell you products!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-44176446767645284032015-05-14T09:35:44.869-06:002015-05-14T09:35:44.869-06:00I did not mind the flavor of the mix (FCLO & b...I did not mind the flavor of the mix (FCLO & butter oil blend) but there was absolutely NO WAY I could ever take it because of the texture. Simple FCLO is liquid and I gave it to my daughter in the provided syringe, but the blend is solid (at least for us b/c we are keeping it refrigerated). Swallowing liquid is easy, regardless of the taste (hold your breath until after you drink some water after the oil), but swallowing a teaspoon of hard fat with an awful flavor, good luck with that. We just eat butter as well and ghee is my cooking fat of choice. Isn't the bright yellow ghee the same as the high vitamin butter oil? I don't believe what is marketed as high vitamin butter oil is a miraculous substance, or any more miraculous than ghee and high quality butter from grass fed cows. The combination of eating butter on a regular basis and a daily morning dose of FCLO has healed my daughter's cavity. For me, that was a miracle: hearing the dentist saying that "her cavity has been arrested due to good diet"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
