myLot Discussions on Krill Oil| Cod liver oil versus fish oil and/or krill oil | | I have been reading up on what is best and I take krill oil, as I feel it is better for us than cod liver oil and even fish oil. Krill oil is basically fish but higher in the good stuff (Omega 3, etc.).I have been reading recent studies that say that cod liver oil is too high in Vitamin A. Today's cod liver oil contains far less vitamin D than it used to, due to the deodorization process used today which removes much of Vitamin D. Vitamin A is not efficient without Vitamin D and the other way around, too, but if you overdose on Vitamin A or Vitamin D, it can actually kill you, so it is careful to monitor intake of supplements and best to get it where it comes naturally (Vitamin D is from the sun and many foods. Vitamin A from foods.From Mercola.com is says,[i]"Manufacturers are free to add or subtract as much vitamin A or D as they see fit. In fact cod liver oil was discovered in the sewers of England several hundred years ago by starving children who drank it and scientists noticed they did not get rickets.

The mandate has infuriated many parents, hundreds of whom recently gathered in protest outside the statehouse in Trenton.Parents flooded the statehouse, carrying signs with slogans like "Parent Power" and "My Child, My Choice," and chanting "No American should be forced to play vaccine roulette with their child."
