As far as I can make out, superfoods have a few characteristics
in common:
- they have a higher concentration of some useful
nutrient or micronutrient
- they are eaten in small quantities, so the extra
concentration is unimportant w.r.t. nutrition
Also, they are not everyday items, so can be "discovered"
and talked about, and marketed.
So, if superfoods are nice, eat some. But don't use them
to satisfy nutritional needs.

Think goji berries etc. Exotic overpriced and over packaged.
Change the superfood du jour every couple of years and you are onto a

It is a rather curious situation in the West at the moment where rickets
is making a come back in children because of indoor lifestyles and high
protection factor sunscreen (and a vitamin D/calcium deficient diet).

Required vitamin D intake seems to vary from person to person. I have to take double the standard dose every day to stop my doctor complaining that my vitamin D level tests too low.
It doesn't take too many idiosyncratic patients to make doctors anxious, and they aren't trained to think about individual variation.

Well, one simply needs to have NOT been hypnotized over the

Hemp seed is second only to soy in protein content. It has the
best micronutrients in it.
It is a bit overpriced at $10 a pound, but so is meat, if one were
to ask me.
The best thing about it is that it can be used in other food
preparations and only serves to improve one's selected diet choices.
We could feed the unfed masses of the world (or some at least) if
we would simply embrace hemp and cannabis.
Oh and the seeds taste good too! Hemp butter is great!
As to embracing cannabis, there are several places where it would
help. Here is one example:
Instead of trying to quit smoking tobacco by way of patches or vape
devices which continue to imbue nicotine on one, cannabis provides a
cure without nicotine.
I had "spots" as a child, which was a vitamin D deficiency.
Because of the spots, I was not able to get a smallpox vaccine as I
would have contracted the disease and died. My brother and sister
were also not able to get it as they would have passed it to me.
After I got the vitamins, the spots went away. They looked like
goose flesh.

I cut my diet to two, then one meal a day after that study came
