The testing results used on the fish oil lawsuit I mentioned are posted on fishoilsaety.com. Interestingly, the oils they tested are not the usual fish oils. One problematic oil was, as I anticipated, a salmon oil. Shark liver oil was a problem and several cod liver oils were also a problem.

My apologies to those of you who love cod liver oil but, adding to the concerns about adverse effects from the vitamin A in cod liver oil, now we have this.
