do you have a link for cod liver oil being toxic? i've never tried it but was thinking of getting some blue ice fermented stuff just to try it out. not a good idea? what's the issue with it?

The Weston A. Price Foundation has lots of good articles about cod liver oil:

In a nutshell, their claim is that CLO is toxic only if the vitA and vitD are tampered with, and that natural unprocessed CLO is fine to take in large amounts.

How can you tell if has been messed with? How can you tell if it has been heated?

I ask because I have bought various things in health food stores that was touted as the best and it was garbage.

The Carlson oil brand has not been messed with except for the additions of vit E as a natural preservative.

Quote from their site:
"From the deep, unpolluted waters near Norway, Carlson brings you the finest cod liver oil which is naturally rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, EPA and DHA. Only cod fish caught during the winter and early spring are used, as the liver oil content is highest at this time of year. The oil is separated from the liver tissues without the use of chemicals. To ensure freshness of Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil, the air inside the glass bottle has been replaced with nitrogen.
Natural vitamin E is added to the cod liver oil to protect the freshness of the EPA and DHA both within the bottle and our bodies. Vitamin E prevents oxidation of polyunsaturated oils.

THIS PRODUCT is regularly tested (using AOAC international protocols) for freshness, potency and purity by an independent, FDA-registered laboratory and has been determined to be fresh, fully potent and free of detrimental levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, PCB's and 28 other contaminants."
