To be honest, some of us are forwarding material which is at the limits of
our comprehension, if not beyond it. Or perhaps it's just me. ;-)
Examples of dark meat include: red meat of any kind, shellfish, herring,
dark tuna (which may be labelled as "light tuna" -- very confusing),
sardines, and fowl (thigh and drumstick, but not the breast). Organ meats,
such as liver and heart, have a much higher purine content.
