I wonder if that's cuz it's rancid? In any case, Consumer Labs, an

independent testing lab, tested several brands of fish oil and a few brands

of CLO. Only two products didn't pass the test. GOL CLO was one of them and

the reason it didn't pass the test is because it was too oxidized (rancid).

It contained compounds that suggested it had both long and short-term

oxidation. I don't know if they just got a bad bottle or something, but I

would not trust this brand of CLO unless I was totally confident that

they've addressed the oxidation issue thoroughly.

Oxidized oils are definitely something to avoid!

Has anyone contacted GOL about this? I haven't, but I should... it

would be good for them to know that their customers (I buy GOL when I

need some and don't want to mail order) are aware of the problem and

concerned about it.
