Question here? You state above that if you get enough sun you might OD on Cod liver oil if you take it also. Didn't you quote recent studies saying that you can't absorb the vit D from sunlight unless you refrain from using soap on your body for 18-24 hours after exposure to sunlight? If this is indeed true, how could we OD since most of us DO, in fact, bathe regularly with some type of soap products on our skin.

We recently rec'vd ground salba (salvia hispanica L) seed from North Star Nutritionals. Omega-3 Fatty Acid (Alpha Linolenic) = 1.89 g

Omega-6 Fatty Acid (Gamma Linoleic) = 0.52 g

Omega-9 Fatty Acid (Oleic) = 0.17 g

On the label: "Promotes cardiovascular health; Supports joint function & mobility; Assists bowel function & regularity; Good source of fiber for digestive health."

Uses: Gravy thickener, soup, oatmeal, on salad, in smoothie, etc. When baking, use 3 parts flour and 1 part ground Salba, or adjust as needed.

To make Salba gel: Slowly add 2 tbsp. of ground Salba to 1/2 cup of cold water and stir. Refrigerate in a sealed jar.

Use gell in yogurt, pudding, ceareal, any hot or cold beverage. 1/4 cup of Salba gel replaces 1 egg in recipes.

I used it in an upside-down cake - it was wonderful. It helps retain the moisture in addition to adding nutrutional boost.

I'm a vegetarian as well....doesn't hemp seed offer an acceptable mix of 3, 6 & 9 oils?

it appears that blindly saying that all un-distilled fish oils contain mercury is, at best, misinformed and, at worst, and attempt to sell a particular product: www.physorg.com/news146489979.html

Regarding omega 3 and omega 6 fats, why do you not mention flaxseed oil? I am a vegetarian and have been taking Barleans flaxseed oil, daily, for 8 years. I am never sick, but, of course, cannot attribute it to just this oil. The balance is: Omega 3 - 6200 mg to Omega 6 - 1810 mg and Omega 9 2040 mg per tbsp.

Any comments on this?
