Why shouldn't i want? Animals do accumulate much of the goodies they eat.
Especially liver is an enormous potent source of some vitamins.

I'm sorry that I mentioned the cancerogenous fats at first.
Any custom would do. E.g. any substrate intoxicated by fungus.

It's just to say: not all paleo-lifestyles *need* to be healthy.
Long term unhealthy eating habits (e.g. such causing cancer)
may even survive a long time in a society with a high death
rate of other causes.
A reason to keep our eyes open.

CLA, I havent read much about this substance except that it was said to
be veeeery healthy (probably from supplement makers).
Do you have any net-resources about CLA and its role to mention?

thanks
