What a joke, the only thing that's known for sure about "polyphenols" (and practically all non-vitamin "antioxidants", that was the previous hype) is that a healthy human body rapidly excretes them, as well it should.
The rest is hype, speculation, and the everlasting quest for the next "superfood"..
Carotenoids, okay, anything that's in egg yolks gets my stamp of approval. Of course the much-loved beta-carotin is drastically useless and pales in comparison to any source of (nonsynthetic) preformed Vitamin A from non-carnivore sources.. (and who the heck eats carnivores!)
- to3m 10y agoCarnivore meat you can eat: cat, crocodile, alligator. I'm sure there are others. Not very common in the west - if nothing else, herbivores and omnivores are easier to factory farm - but people do eat them. What about fish? Tuna, salmon, shark - they all eat meat.
- igravious 10y agoAnybody who eats shark or eats any other sea creature that eats fish.
- dualogy 10y agoTrue that! That last bit of my post was quite thoughtless
