  • Nuts and seeds rank very high, with Brazil nuts, hazel nuts and coconuts leading.
  • Fruits rank low, with apples and watermelons bringing up the rear.
  • The common potato beats the sweet potato, except in Vitamin A content.
  • Pork ranks high, with bacon approaching extremely high.
  • Eggs are high.
  • Exotic meats such as emu and ostrich rank high, duck ranks low.
  • Kale and seaweed rank very high.
  • Legumes are low on the list.
  • Grains are low (raw grains, according to Lalonde, rank higher, but they’re indigestible in that form).
  • Beef and pork rank higher than vegetables.
