Deep Nutrition
by Catherine Shanahan
A physician's four pillars of traditional diets: meat on the bone, organs, fermented and sprouted foods, fresh raw foods, and her case against vegetable oils and sugar. It is detailed and provocative; the ancestral framing and some claims about oils are contested by mainstream nutrition.

Three things you will actually use
