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. Aaron
