Grains contain digestive enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, which hinders mineral absorption.

Well SupportedWild-caught salmon is a better option than farm-raised Atlantic salmon due to superior nutrient content.

Not SupportedCherries, grapes, and berries are highly contaminated with pesticides and should be avoided unless organic.

Well SupportedRaw dairy is preferred over pasteurized dairy due to beneficial qualities that are denatured by heating milk.

Not SupportedSardines canned in BPA-lined cans are a source of bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor, which leaches into the packing oil.

Well SupportedHigh oxalate foods such as spinach, almonds, and turmeric powder may contribute to the development of kidney stones.
