deficiency Of vitamin A in food.
Cod liver oil is richest Of all
foods in this energy giving vita.
min.
1t seems. however, that, being OF
high value in one category OF dis
eases. there exists a tendency to
add it to food in other diseases or
where there is no disease at all.
1t is precisely this failure to
recognize the natural limitation of
a really valuable product, a prin.
ciple that brings many a good
thing into undeserved repute.
With respect to cod liver oil. so
eminent an authority as the Brit.
ish Medical Journal has observed
that administration of emulsions
OF cod liver oil to even quite young
babies is very widespread prac-
tice at the present day. Some in
situations and welfare centerS ad-
wise almost every mother to give
her baby some vitamins in this
form, and it is generally assumed
that even IL there is no real short
age of the vitan1ins the use of cod
liver oil will prevent any shortage
that might happen, and at any>rate
can do no harm.
Recently, however, there has
been some doubt about the wis
dom of this advice. Some Swe-
dish workers have been investi-
eating the effect of cod liver oil
on animals for the last two
years. They find that cod liver
oil may produce a poisonous by
effect, by bringing about changes
in the masculature of the heart.
There Is some doubt whether
this ill-effect il due to the mere
administration of the oil in an
otherwise balanced diet, or
whether the real trouble is not
some lack of balance between
the three vitamins, A, B and G.
One Of the workers gave =
basal diet of hay, oats and tur-
nirs to rabbits, and added mar
nits and lemon juice, so that
vitamins B and c were well sup
piled. They then found that
changes in the heart were pro
duced by giving the rabbits be-
tween one and five cubic cent?
meters of cod liver oil daily for
each kilogram of weight of the
rabbit. They are quite sure that
the trouble Is directly due to the
cod liver oil, and not TO short
age OF B and c vitamins.
Some animals are much more
susceptible than others to the
POISONOUS effects, and some are
n1Cre resistant to these effects
in the summer than in the win
ter months. One distinguished
Swedish worker believes that the
Vitamins in the oil, possibly to-
gether with other constituents,
produce undesirable effects when
taken in large doses over a long
period.
