It's true for Omnivores, but to those low fat strict vegetarian who always catch cold, have frequent urinary infection or weak vision . Sometimes getting a second opinon from here and here isnt a bad move . I agree it's best to get a good mix of Vit A/Betacarotene from thenatural food source instead of Multi vitamin supplementation.
Ironically, My grandma has been taking Cod liver oil ( rich in A and D ) for years, and she is doing great at the age of almost 90 years old

Krispin Sullivan, author of a forthcoming book, Naked at Noon, a full chapter on fat soluble vitamins A, D and K related to bone and general health, writes that the reason cod liver oil does not cause a problem is that it contains both A and D. Vitamin A is only safe when vitamin D is adquate and the worldwide insufficiency of vitamin D makes all supplemental vitamin A problematic.

Bill and Tanya sat before me in my office in a sombre mood: they had just lost their first baby in the second month of pregnancy. Tanya was particularly upset: "Why did this happen to me? Why did I miscarry my baby?" The young couple had come to see me mostly because of Tanya's recurrent respiratory infections, but also wanted some advice as to how they could avoid the heartache of another failed pregnancy.

Upon questioning Tanya about her diet, I quickly saw the cause of her infections, as well as her miscarriage: she had virtually no fat in her diet and was also mostly a vegetarian. Because of the plentiful media rhetoric about the supposed dangers of animal product consumption, as opposed to the supposed health benefits of the vegetarian lifestyle, Tanya had deliberately removed such things as cream, butter, meats and fish from her diet. Although she liked liver, she avoided it due to worries over "toxins."

Tanya and Bill left with a bottle of vitamin A, other supplements and a dietary prescription that included plentiful amounts of animal fats and meat.
