Filippa, i had to take cod liver oil capsules during my pregnancy! was no way

i could take it off the spoon. Capsules are not ideal but i figured it was worth

it.

Well that figures! Well done!! I can relate to you feeling anxiety about Vit

A. At Sally Fallon's lecture when she came to Australia. A whole bunch of

naturopathic students stood up and anxiously asked about it. Apparently their

college warns pregnant women from taking CLO and even from drinking carrot juice

because of the risks of vitamin A. I wonder whether there are now lots of vit A

deficient babies. Just as an aside, that makes me wonder why Asians seem to

suffer from short-sightedness more than Caucasians and blacks (not sure of all

the politically-correct terms here so I hope they're OK). Has this (race and

sight) been discussed on the list before? Seeing as I'm in for a half-Asian

baby! We're both short-sighted so it will be interesting to see if we can

produce a perfect-sighted baby. I'm the third daughter and the only one that

lucked out with the sight. Maybe my mother was running out of steam by the time

she had me!

I have read about why Chinese in particular are prone to short-sightedness.

It's diet related but now i can't remember where i read it or what the issue

was. I will try to remember.
