Along with many other physicians, Dr. Price recom- mended cod liver oil to promote growth and general health in infants and children. Clinical trials proved that cod liver oil use in adults reduced absenteeism and saved millions of dollars worth of productivity for American industry. Recently, however, cod liver oil has come under attack. After issuing a series of newsletters criticizing the use of cod liver oil because of its vita- min A content, Dr. John Cannell, through the Vitamin D Council, wrote a commentary entitled Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A Toxicity, Frequent Respira- tory Infections, and the Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic published in the November, 2008 issue of theJournal of Otology, Rhinology, & Laryngol- ogy. 1 Cannell and co-authors claim that vitamin A intakes above the most minimal levels increase mortality rates, increase vulnerability to infections, cause osteoporosis, and antagonize the beneficial effects of vitamin D.
