        Woah, thanks. I have some reading to do.

        Some of things though, you have to be very careful of. For instance, our bodies can't get rid of iron, so taking in too much can be very bad.

          I know, right? Cobalt? Jesus. If one defines deficiency as doing better if you get more, I tend to do better if I somehow supplement thianine, magnesium, potassium, and folate, as well as vitamins D and K.

            Most of the trace elements, you have to be careful of getting too much and also the way they are bound. ie, eating an iron nail is not going to be that good for you or eating a piece of sodium could be really bad. The other things may be flavinoids, but there are so many flavinoids that eating live food is probably going to be better.
