How much cod liver oil can a ten year old have/ What would be the maximum?
Thanks, Mary


I checked out cod liver oil at Fresh Fields over the weekend and there's
still something I don't understand. It certainly has a larger amount of EPA
and DHA (I think those are the abbreviations? can't remember) than fish oil
tablets, but it also has almost 100% of the RDA for A and D in just one
teaspoon. So if one teaspoon has about half a gram of EPA/DHA, you would
need to take at least two teaspoons or more like 4 or 6 teaspoons to get the
daily amount of EPA/DHA Dr. Cordain recommends, but you'd be getting 200,
400, or 600 times the amount of A and D you're supposed to have daily as
well. Since A and D build up in your system, I don't understand how this can
be good for you. I'd love to take it for the high EPA/DHA, but the A and D
really scare me.
