Coenzyme Q10 Food Composition Table

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I've created what is, as far as I know, the most comprehensive chart

showing the distribution of CoQ10 in foods on the internet, and really

the only one that is of any significance that is freely available:

http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Coenzyme-Q10.html#Table

It's based on two studies, but there are about three more that have

been done-- although only one since they've developed the sensitivity

necessary to find small amounts, which was published in a journal in

1997 that UMass stopped carrying in 1990 I think, so I'll have to get

it at another library.

Surprisingly, soybean oil has very high CoQ10 (as well as rapeseed and

canola), which has never been mentioned in the the secondary writings

on CoQ10 I've read. Additionally, heart appears to have MUCH more

CoQ10 than liver, which seems to have about the same as muscle meat,

so I'm going to start going out of my way to get heart again. With

heart, you can actually get what you'd get from taking supplements per

day.

For some reason the muscle meat of reindeer rivals the heart of other

animals. I'm not sure why this is, but perhaps it has something to do

with grass-fed, or maybe not. Al Sears says in The Doctor's Heart

Cure that grass-fed is up to 10 times higher in CoQ10 but he doesn't

provide a citation for it so who knows. On a side-note, Price also

noted that reindeer milk was the best source of Activator X, so maybe

reindeer is just the healthiest thing to eat, I don't know.

I'm going to try to contact these researchers to figure out whether

commercial soy oil has CoQ10 in it or not. The soy and other oils

were found at retail stores, but in Finland and Japan, so who knows if

it goes through the same processing. CoQ10 is *mildly* heat-sensitive

(I was under the impression that it was very heat-sensitive before,

but boiling does nothing to it and frying only destroys about a third

of it), but the bleaching, deodorizing, and whatever else it goes

through but destroy a lot or all of it. Enig says all the

omega-3s are completely gone in commercial soy and canola oils, so I

wouldn't consider soybean oil a good source of it... and besides,

there's a million and one other reasons not to eat soy oil.

Anyway, here's the link again:

This will be updated as soon as I obtain the other research but even

now I don't think there is anything else like it on the internet,

because whenever I've searched I haven't been able to find something

like it.
