Huh. From reading the article it doesn't seem like a nutrient and more a signaling thing (activates a receptor on the cell's surface). Could this be a hormesis effect? For example, the body reacts to things like exercise or UV by amping up repair and immune system. Perhaps the body is amping up its immune system in response to consuming meat/milk due to carcinogen or disease risks?
