Over the past months, I've made some huges changes with my diet. It's a long but for me, a good…read morestory with the net result so far being that I already feel better and I hope look better as a side benefit. Part of the journey has brought me back to a traditional diet referred to as paleo and along with that I've returned to a bit of knowledge great-grandmothers used to proffer even if they didn't know the science behind it. And what I'm referring to as "great- grandma knowledge" is about the wonders of fermented cod liver oil. I see you all recoiling in horror right now but trust me, CLO has gotten a bad rap as something to recoil from. That couldn't be farther from the truth. The taste is manageable and the benefits are many. CLO is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins A and D both of which can be in woefully short supply in the average diet. I've read that most North Americans are deficient in Vitamin D which in reality acts more like an important hormone in the body than a vitamin. Green Pastures is a family-owned company that produces what they call "sacred oils". Their product line includes fermented cod liver oil, skate liver oil, high vitamin butter oil, and coconut oil I've ordered both cod liver oil and the grass-fed butter oil since they work better when taken together. I've been pleased with the products and the customer service this company provides. They use traditional methods for making their non-industrialized products. The fish are all wild, never farmed and are fished out of Arctic waters where they thrive. They deal with folks who fish sustainably and the products meet or exceed standards when tested for PCBs and heavy metals. They subscribe to the work that was done by Dr. Weston Price who was a dentist back in the 1930s and '40s who traveled the world studying traditional diets and learning about those native people who managed to have exceptional dental and physical health and why this seemed to be so. The cod-liver oil comes plain which I prefer or with the addition of natural flavors which might be more palatable to some. The butter oil which is thick is kind of like eating a bit of butter, so easy to manage. I can't do more than mention that along with the dietary changes and the addition of these products, I've so far been a happier, healthier human with my eyes wide open now to some of the food myths I'd fallen for. Everyone has to travel on their own food and dietary path, but if you're interested in these kinds of nutrients, Green Pastures may have something for you too. http://www.westonaprice.org/cod-liver-oil/clo-number-one-superfood
