> I was doing some checking, and the main difference between fish oil and cod liver oil is that there is much less vitamin D in fish oil. That makes sense since the liver is the source for the cod oil, and you'd find higher concentrations of this vitamin as well as vitamin A from this organ, but especially of vitamin D. Are these vitamins the reason for the penile erections I wonder? Could be.

> You are getting a good amount of omega-3 essential fatty acids from your fish oil. Most Americans get a lot of omega-6 fatty acids, since its source is found in many vegetable oils, but we don't get much omega-6 in the diet, which is found mainly from deepwater fish, fish oil, and certain vegetable oils, such as flaxseed oil and walnut oil. Then again, most of the oils Americans ingest are heated and heat destroys EFA's.

I'm getting my 3's and 6's mixed up. "but we don't get much omega-6", should be omega-3.
