The main difference between cod liver oil and fish oil is that cod liver oil is high in vitamin A and D and as the name suggest is extracted from the liver of cod fish.\n\nyou should go for fish oil if you are out in the sun alot.\nbut if you are not or live in a place where its really cold and less sunshine, then you should go for cod liver oil as it will provide you with Vitamin D that you are supposed to have form the sun.\n\nthats the only difference, both contain omega-3 so no worries about that...

I would say you should try COD LIVER oil that is molecularly distilled and see if you have a reaction.  If it is fine for you then try www.icelandichealth.com\n\nYou are right that it is very important since we are not eating wild and grass fed animals that our bodies developed on and need.

I don't know how reliable is it to say that squalene is from shark liver oil but fish liver oil is fish liver oil, it should both be good, I think you could try to find a local cardiologist and have him/her comment on different types of fish oil, good luck

Fish Oil \n\n\nClaims, Benefits: Prevents heart disease, alleviates auto-immune disorders, plus many other claims. \n\nBottom Line: Fish oil contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Many studies find some beneficial effect, especially against heart attacks. But supplements can have adverse effects. We recommend fish, but not fish oil capsules, except for those with heart disease or auto-immune disorders. \n\nFull article, Wellness Letter, November 2003: \n\nShould You Take Fish Oil Pills? \n\nNearly every month there’s another study showing the health benefits of fish, and some of these studies have used fish-oil supplements. The Wellness Letter has never been big on these supplements. They contain the heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, but not the other good things in fish, and they are not without risk. Our opinion about these supplements has changed somewhat, however, because of ongoing research and new advice from the American Heart Association (AHA). \n\nHere’s who should consider taking fish-oil supplements: \n\nPeople who already have coronary artery disease, notably those who have had a heart attack. There is solid evidence that omega-3s can help protect them. Thus, last year the AHA started recommending 1 gram a day of omega-3s, preferably from fish, for these people, with their doctors’ approval. That’s the amount in a serving of fatty fish, such as 3 ounces of salmon. But most people don’t eat fish every day, and many choose less-fatty fish (it takes 12 ounces of canned tuna or 7 ounces of flounder to supply 1 gram of omega-3s). Moreover, since fish may contain mercury, we advise limiting fish intake to 12 ounces a week, on average. So to get enough omega-3s without going overboard on fish, people with heart disease should consider taking fish-oil supplements on days when they don’t eat fish. \n\nThose with high triglycerides. These fats in the blood increase the risk of heart disease. It’s well known that omega-3s help lower triglycerides. The AHA recommends 2 to 4 grams a day from supplements for people with high triglycerides, but only under the care of a physician. \n\nThose with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or other auto-immune disorders. Omega-3s may help relieve the inflammatory symptoms of such auto-immune diseases by suppressing the immune response. Thus, they can help reduce the joint pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation says the supplements are worth trying. Clinical studies suggest about 3 grams of omega-3s a day. \n\nWhat about people with coronary risk factors, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, but no apparent heart disease? We suggest that they get their omega-3s from two or three weekly servings of fatty fish. There have been no clinical studies to see if fish-oil supplements will help them. \n\nNot for everyone \n\nIf fish oil is so great, why shouldn’t everyone take supplements? \n\n• The decreased ability of the blood to clot, which helps prevent heart attacks, has a negative side, notably an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. People with bleeding disorders, those taking anticoagulants, and those with uncontrolled hypertension should not take fish oil supplements.\n\n• Large doses of fish oil may suppress the immune system. Thus, supplements may be risky for those with weakened immune systems. What’s a "large dose"? One definition is 3 grams or more a day, but no one really knows what the cutoff point is.\n\n• Large doses can increase glucose levels in people with diabetes.\n\n• Large doses can cause nausea, diarrhea, belching, and a bad taste in the mouth. \n\n• The supplements may contain contaminants and may not contain the labeled dose. A recent test by Consumer Reports of top-selling supplements was reassuring on both counts, even for the least expensive brands, but that doesn’t mean that the next batches will be okay—or that other brands on the market are. Last year a test by ConsumerLab.com found no de

Extra virgin olive oil and olive oil alike both have a very good source of monosaturate and polysaturate fats that you body needs. Maybe the site below can help you out. It is not olive oil but the results would be the same.

Mineral oils are long chain hydrocarbons, and do not saponify at all...vegetable oils are esters, so NaOH breaks them down to the Na salt of the carboxylic acid and glycerine (usually).

Omega-3 fatty acids are only naturally found in flax seed oil and fish oil from fish with red coloured flesh. Like salmon for instance. Omega-3 fatty acids are required by the brain to function at peak efficiency. They also reduce bad cholesterol levels. There are also Omega-6 fatty acids also commonly found in beef, pork, chicken and fried foods. O6 acids are not good for the body in large quantities and lead to heart attacks and blood clots.\n\n I take a gram of O3 acid at dinner every day. I find it helps to order thoughts and seems to be a mood stablizer, for me at least. If you go for a fish based source be warned that not all fish oils contain significant amounts of Omega-3 acids. I use the Organika brand of wild harvested Pacific salmon oil. It contains a garenteed amount of the O-3 acids EPA and DHA in eack softgel tab. Stay away from the " Natural Factors " brand of fish oil as from my experience it does not contain any EPA and DHA and did nothing for me. As a warning do not take more than a gram or 2 of O-3 oil per day. Too much oil thins the blood and puts an additional strain on the heart as it works harder to pump the thinner blood. Not good if you have a heart condition of any sort.\n\nAs for why O-3 acids are named the way they are that would have been up to their discoverer. Try searching the web for that person and you may find the answer to the 2nd part of your question.

Both are healthy if you are healthy. Corn syrup may have other chemical due to processing that might be bad. Stay away from partially hydrogenated oils

Bile is a mixture of water, salts, and phospholipids, thus not really a pure solvent.  Typically, an organic solvent is a liquid made of an organic molecule-whereas bile is a solution of salt, etc in water.  Fat or oils would be organic solvents, since they are liquids, which can dissolve substances (can be polar or non-polar), and are made of organic molecules.  Bile is not a liquid which is an organic molecule, but primarily water, and water is not an organic solvent.  Soapy water can dissolve oils, etc, but is NOT an organic solvent, and bile is chemically exactly like soapy water.\nBile does not break down starches-it solubilizes lipids.

Fish oil contain what are know as omega 3 fatty acids and are suposed to be good for your overall cholesterol status and may help to reduce the levels of other "bad" types of fat in the blood.  The bottom line, as for now, is that it can't hurt.

Fish skin is okay to eat. The fat in it is actually beneficial. It is called Omega-3, which is good for your cardio-vascular system.
