Lisa Walford, you write:

<< The key is nutrient-dense. As mentioned, zinc is a problem, calcium, B12,
perhaps Vitamin E, linoleic acid (get those flax seeds)and perhaps others.
We can certainly use each other as resources to maximize our knowledge base.>>

Another would be pre-formed long-chain fatty acids which are essential for
many people who cannot produce them adequately from short chain amino's
found in greens and flax seeds.  I used Conscious Eating, too, as a bible, and
later found out it didn't tell the whole story.  For example, Gabriel says that
flax is superior to fish because flax has the entire omega 3 spectrum, but flax
does not have EPA and DHA which are the long-chain derivitives of that
spectrum.  The body has to make them from flax, or get them from outside
sources.  Children may need them especially and people who are dyslexic, or
have ADD, often need them from what I've been reading.  Throughout the
history of man, our body has gotten them from outside sources and not produced them
from flax seeds.  Just be aware of this in case flax doesn't satisfy you.
Also, from what I've read, the fatty acids found in nut and seed oils can
actually interfere with production of EPA which is the fatty acid used to
regulate blood platelets, blood flow, etc., and a deficiency of EPA is
linked with heart disease.  Just information to consider... it might be wrong.
