"In a cluster-randomized study of pediatric visits for upper respiratory illness during the winter and early spring, these nutritional supplements decreased mean visits/subject/month by 36%-58%. Cod liver oil is culturally valued and has been used as a folk remedy by many low-income minorities in the United States. Nutritional supplements cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits (formerly called food stamps)," wrote L.A. Linday and colleagues.

>>The researchers concluded: "Inclusion of cod liver oil in state Medicaid formularies would make it available to low-income children, whose families may not be able to pay for it out-of-pocket."

Linday and colleagues published their study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (Cod Liver Oil, Young Children, and Upper Respiratory Tract Infections. Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2010;29(6):559-562).
