Bioactives in Blueberries Improve Insulin Sensitivity in Obese, Insulin-Resistant Men and Women:
The mean change in insulin sensitivity improved more in the blueberry group (1.7 � 0.5 mg⋅kg FFM−1⋅min−1) than in the placebo group (0.4 � 0.4 mg⋅kg FFM−1⋅min−1) (P = 0.04). Insulin sensitivity was enhanced in the blueberry group at the end of the study without significant changes in adiposity, energy intake, and inflammatory biomarkers. In conclusion, daily dietary supplementation with bioactives from whole blueberries improved insulin sensitivity in obese, nondiabetic, and insulin-resistant participants.

Coffee Inhibits Iron Absorption
Iron's Dangers: Coffee, when taken with food, strongly inhibits the absorption of iron, so I always try to drink coffee with meat.
Iron is a potentially toxic heavy metal. In excess, it can cause cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.

Tryptophan Lower In Traditional Diets
Tryptophan, serotonin, and aging:
In the traditional diet, rather than just eating muscle meats, all the animal parts were used. Since collagen makes up about 50% of the protein in an animal, and is free of tryptophan, this means that people were getting about half as much tryptophan in proportion to other amino acids when they used foods such as “head cheese,” ox-tails, and chicken feet.
People who ate traditional diets, besides getting a lower concentration of tryptophan, were getting a large amount of glycine in their gelatin-rich diet. The simplest, nonessential, amino acid, glycine, has been found to protect against carcinogenesis, inflammation, fibrosis, neurological damage, shock, asthma, and hypertension. Increased glycine improves learning.

Butyrate In Butter Is Good For You
Fitness Concept, LLC: Butter, Good for you:
Butyrate and its derivatives may have potential application in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome in humans.
Butter is 3-4 percent butyrate, the richest known source.

Flaxseed Lignans Potential Protection Against Prostatic Disease
Gaia Research - Flaxseed Lignans & The Immune System:
Flaxseed ingestion produces large amounts of mammalian
lignans with weak estrogenic/anti-estrogenic properties
reduced adult relative prostate weight and cell proliferation,
suggesting potential protection against prostatic disease,
without affecting sex hormone levels

Vitamin C And Bioflavonoids
Arteriosclerosis (Hardening of the Arteries):
A little note here: ascorbic acid will
not cure scurvy alone. You’ll need some bioflavonoids too, which are found in the same fruits (usually in the skins) that contain vitamin C. The white skin beneath the outer skin of an orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit is rich in bioflavonoids.
