Never heard this before.  Sounds strange to me.  My father is now 88 y/o and
he remembers the children in his family lining up to get their teaspoon of
cod liver oil.  He says he'll never forget the taste.  I have fed my 14 y/o
dog mackerel and salmon for most of her life, both of which have a lot of
oil.

It almost sounds like the article was saying that both cod liver oil and oil
from seeds are dangerous.

Down here in S. New Mexico, many people use lard in cooking; it is sold in
really large tubs at the grocery store.  There may not be any correlation,
but people here do not live as long as in most of the rest of the U.S. and
have lots and lots of heart disease.  Possibly the people are suffering from
the combination of lard and corn and flour.
