A dirty little secret.

OK – you cannot be bothered reading about how to be healthy yourself but if you have children of your own or in your wider family you owe it to them. So here to help you is content provided by those that know far more than me. However, you still have to decide whether you consider these people know more than your own doctor and whether you want to know more about something that really is a secret. You know what it is with secrets? Well they can be a secret! And if you cannot be bothered then it will remain a secret.

My guess - it will remain a secret - prove me wrong and if I am wrong please tell me.

I have posted a Wikipedia extract here then noted two sites worthy of your attention.

Squalene is a natural organic compound originally obtained for commercial purposes primarily from shark liver oil, though botanic sources are used as well, including amaranth seed, rice bran, wheat germ, and olives. All higher organisms produce squalene, including humans.

Squalene is a low density compound often stored in the bodies of cartilaginous fish such as sharks, which lack a swim bladder and must therefore reduce their body density with fats and oils. Squalene, which is stored mainly in the shark's liver, is lighter than water with a specific gravity of 0.855.

Squalene is used in cosmetics as a natural moisturizer. It penetrates the skin quickly, does not leave a greasy feeling on the skin and blends well with other oils and vitamins.

A study linking squalene, as experimental vaccine adjuvant, to individuals with the clinical signs of Gulf War syndrome was published in 2002. The published findings strongly suggest that the squalene contaminated vaccines could be responsible for the Gulf War Syndrome symptoms seen in the study group, and recommended that a large scale epidemiological study be performed to verify or correct this. Despite repeated assurances that the vaccine was safe and necessary, a U.S. Federal Judge ruled that there was good cause to believe it was harmful, and he ordered the Pentagon to stop administering it in October 2004.
