Well SupportedIn hunter-gatherer societies, meat and organs consumed nose-to-tail with fat are central to life and sustain individuals due to their nutrient density.Well SupportedHeart & Soil's 'Mood Memory and Brain' supplement contains desiccated brain, which includes nutrients like phosphatidylserine and BDNF, supported by clinical data.Not SupportedPhytochemicals found in plants are not true nutrients because they do not serve an indispensable or necessary role in the human body, unlike vitamins or minerals.Well SupportedAnimal foods, particularly meat and organs, are rich sources of creatine, choline, carnitine, carnosine, taurine, K2, and B12, nutrients not found in plant foods.

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Well SupportedConsuming raw liver from a clean, frozen animal is considered safe and beneficial.

Well SupportedMajor dietary sources of linoleic acid include vegetable oils and sometimes adulterated avocado and olive oils.
