I had a friend who helped me get started in 1972 also. My doctor thought it was great. Kiddo was an Adele Davis kid too. The faces she made at the cod liver oil I gave her were priceless. Made my own baby food and when school started she was the healthiest of the lot. It didn’t help with her later obesity but she has been working on that.

Ugh... My mother was a believer in cod liver oil. I thought there were few things more vile than cod liver oil and oysters (we had a plentiful and FREE oyster bed in the river, within 15-20 ft of our dinner table), but out came MINT-flavored Cod liver oil!!! My two brothers and I made our mother know how repellent we found the MINT-flavored version, however we were stuck with it until the very last teaspoon. NOTHING went to waste in my house. Not free oysters, not chicken livers (each one saved, frozen, and eventually defrosted for a "special" casserole when Dad was out of town), and certainly not mint-flavored cod liver oil.

🤣🤣. Of course I never did the CLO myself. I never ate sn oyster until I was 70 yo. Fresh from the sea in France. With plenty of wine.
