omega 3s Supplements are not the best way to get them .Unless the cod liver
oils or fish oils manufacturer demonstrate a way to extract the oil from the
meat without heat processing or oxydation , i will not trust it as a healthy
source of omega 3s . Better off relying on fresh fishes or freshly dried at
low temperatures. Eating them raw will be the best.
I appreciate and enjoy the taste of raw cod liver but found the taste and
smell of cod liver oil not pleasant at all , as unpleasant as the old pieces
of dry salmon I kept too long in a cupboard: Rancid.
About the vitamin A toxicity , IT is to protect us from this kind of thing
that we have an instinct . Unless you process livers like in cod liver oil
you will be stop by the taste before any risk can occur .
  IF i go over the "instinctive stop" with liver i just want to throw up.
The "instinctive stop" quality of fresh raw liver is kept in the low
temperature dried liver but fade away with further processing .

Is there omega 3's in fish eggs. It is soon the season of herring eggs.
Is there omega 3's in shellfish ?
Is there omega 3's in greens ?
I am sure there is many oportunities to get them beside a supplement .
It is sad to see peoples  ready to spend money in supplement and  want the
food for cheap.I suppose it goes together .
It  is ironic that there is in fact by products of the food industry so
cheap ( that nobody want to buy it ) who makes happy the supplement
manufacturer ( like fish heads)  .
The food supplement industry is intimately linked to " what am i going to do
with all those byproducts of my processing of food?".oh i know !  Sale  it
to a supplement maker.!
Anyone want my fish heads ? my grapefruit seeds? My left over of wine making
to make a nice supplement to table grape ( which lost their seeds along the
way of their evolution)...
America will be better off producing REAL food instead!
