"Q:  Are fish oils good for you?

        Some of the unsaturated fats in fish are definitely less toxic than those
in corn oil or soy oil, but that doesn't mean they are safe.  Fifty years
ago, it was found that a large amount of cod liver oil in dogs' diet
increased their death rate from cancer by 20 times, from the usual 5% to
100%.  A diet rich in fish oil causes intense production of toxic lipid
peroxides, and has been observed to reduce a man's sperm count to zero.
[H. Sinclair, Prog. Lipid Res. 25, 667, 1989.]"

So I won't be looking for a source of cod liver oil.
