A 1999 study carried out in Rome, Italy found no congenital malformations among 120 infants whose mothers consumed an average of 50,000 IU of vitamin A per day.7 Some participants consumed up to 300,000 IU vitamin A daily during pregnancy with no birth defects in the offspring. An average of 50,000 IU vitamin A per day is consistent with our recommendation of cod liver oil to supply 20,000 IU per day plus additional vitamin A in liver, butter, seafood and egg yolks.

From the work of Weston Price, we can assume that the amount in primitive diets was about 50,000 IU per day, which could be achieved in a modern diet by consuming generous amounts of whole milk, cream, butter and eggs from pastured animals; beef or duck liver several times per week; and 1 tablespoon regular cod liver oil or 1/2 tablespoon high-vitamin cod liver oil per day.

Should I add another teaspoon of CLO for 30,000 IU a day? I can also have clarified butter and liver. I would like to try fish eggs but they are big $$$ here so that is a no go. I also eat a lot of beef but I amnot sure how much A is in that.

Thanks,
Jen

Oh gosh, thanks for posting that. I've been following this:

http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnut...-oil-menu.html Children over 12 years and adults: A maintenance dose of cod liver oil that provides about 10,000 IU vitamin A daily Pregnant and nursing women: A dose of cod liver oil that provides about 20,000 IU vitamin A daily

It seems like I'm going to have to keep adding more and more and more vitamin A!
