If you google ‘most nutrient-dense foods’,
What you find is a pretty sorry list.
Canned chickpeas…
Swiss chard…
One site even lists dandelion leaves and suggests making a soup with them...
DANDELIONS?!?
I’m sorry, but you don't reclaim your ancestral birthright by eating dandelions.
And our ancestors didn’t give a hoot about dandelions…
They knew liver was the real superfood,
Because not only did they eat it, they freakin’ worshipped it!
West Nile Tribes in Africa said:
“The liver is so sacred it may not be touched by human
hands.”
AHWOOO is how I describe that feeling you get when you begin eating liver for the first time…
Because it's seriously nutrient-dense!
And it's got nutrients you won’t get in large amounts from muscle meat...
Like folate, vitamin A, biotin, copper and manganese.
And it’s not uncommon to see folate deficiencies in meat-only carnivore eaters (low serum folate, elevated homocysteine/FIGLU might be indicators of this), and this is easily corrected with liver.
Copper is really important to mention too...
Because it needs to be balanced with zinc.
Too much zinc will lead to a copper deficiency, which can have major neurological consequences.
And there is lots of zinc in muscle meat, but liver is where you find lots of copper!
Whether it’s fresh, raw, frozen or desiccated, today’s take-home message is GET YOUR LIVER!
Stay Radical,
Paul
