Nice opinion piece..however that is all it is..

But it alerted me to bad advice eg this is from the NHS:

If you're pregnant

Having large amounts of vitamin A can harm your unborn baby. So if you're pregnant or thinking about having a baby, do not eat liver or liver products, such as pâté, because these are very high in vitamin A.

Also avoid taking supplements that contain vitamin A. Speak to your GP or midwife if you would like more information.


Yet Weston Price has a Diet for Pregnant Women that recommends cod liver oil supplements with high doses of Vitamin A and eating liver once or twice a week.

Well, if you read their opinion is that 5G caused covid, and you rate that opinion, good luck.
What next, a tinfoil hat for flu?

That site really is the gift that keeps giving.

"for strong bones, avoid EMF exposure as much as possible, while sticking to the WAPF recipe for strong bones: raw milk, grass-fed butter and cod liver oil"

Yes, 5G will dissolve your bones!

And yet oddly vitamin A has multiple health benefits including placental health...


Not seen the NHS advising people to avoid sweet potatoes... have you?

Ah, the old "potato" arguement. :rofl:. :rofl:

And yet oddly, the advice from the NHS was because too much Vitamin A can cause birth defects…

Do not take cod liver oil or any supplements containing vitamin A (retinol) when you're pregnant. Too much vitamin A could harm your baby.


https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/keeping-well/vitamins-supplements-and-nutrition/

What to avoid​

  • raw or undercooked meat
  • liver and liver products
  • all types of pâté, including vegetarian pâté
  • game meats such as goose, partridge or pheasant

Why​

Liver and liver products have lots of vitamin A in them. This can be harmful to an unborn baby.

And what is "too much" ?
It certainly isn't "any" and who these days eats lots of liver apart from my dog and cat?

Like many things vit A is necessary for placental health allegedly and dangerous if eaten in excess.
The dose is the poison?
 
Yes, and that’s why is recommended that liver is avoided because it’s very high in Vitamin A - and the more dangerous form of Vitamin A at that. Recommending pregnant women eat it and take cod liver oil is reckless. Both should be avoided in pregnancy.

Well, according to that site it also cures every form of cancer, so it must have something going for it.
And I can become a member for 50 dollars a year, and get a free book for a 100 dollar donation. :rofl: :rofl:

So if they were deficient it would be a great source..

But this conversation was about my "horrible" cholesterol levels (which I think are fine and my CVD markers are perfect so)...
I note that your ad hominens aside you guys haven't produced much evidence for your claims..odd that..
 
No, it wouldn’t! It’s far too high and the wrong type.

Why?
We have our opinion, you have yours.
We've seen your proof.
You clearly rate that website as an authority.
It's your life to live.

We're just providing a counterbalance in your posts for people who don't really believe sites that say 5G will melt you is actually a highly rated source of medical information.
 
We've seen your proof.
No.. you have seen a tiny proportion of the suggested evidence.. I haven't claimed "proof" because in the field of human nutrition there really isn't any.
You do seem to really like misrepresenting what other people think and say though.
But at least you agree your view is simple another "opinion" for which I thank you.
