Trace minerals, fats, fat-soluble vitamins, magnesium, shellfish

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I read Price's book last year, and he makes it pretty clear that all

tribes used shellfish as the #1 health food. He always said that the

fat-soluble vitamins and minerals (mostly magnesium, according to his

chemical analysis of native diets, which had up to 29 times the

magnesium of the Standard American Diet, but only up to 9 times the

calcium) were the most important factors. However, as I understand it,

shellfish don't have as much of the fat-soluble vitamins. They have

tremendous amounts of magnesium, calcium, and all trace minerals,

however.

Polar bear liver is deadly poisonous because of the high amounts of

vitamin A. Vitamin D toxicity is well-known among people who

supplement heavily.

Price didn't seem to know much about trace minerals at the time.
