I was a trucker before I became a chemist, and as I recover from my breakdown, I find that a little trucking helps pay the bills. I don't see myself doing it much longer.

Katy, cod liver oil has too many vitamins in it for it to be a routine source of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil might better be called "fish body oil". Liver oils have high concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins, which your body will store in your own liver. Too much in the liver, and your liver starts to die. Small amounts are necessary, but too much is toxic.
