Safety Profile

Contraindications & Risks
Raw dairy: risk of serious infection; never for pregnancy, infants, young children, older adults or anyone immunocompromised
High LDL or ApoB, or familial hypercholesterolemia: keep saturated fat small and check lipids with your clinician
Pregnancy: limit liver and cod liver oil to keep vitamin A within safe limits
Gout or iron overload (hemochromatosis): limit organ meats
Important Notes

Price documented traditional groups with little tooth decay and chronic disease, and credited fat-soluble vitamins and mineral-rich foods. His work is observational, so it shows associations rather than cause. The foods themselves are nutrient-dense and fit a whole-food, ancestral approach. Raw milk sales are legal in some states and restricted in others. Focus on food quality and traditional preparation.

About Evidence Score

The Evidence Score (0 to 100) rates the strength of evidence from studies in people for the uses listed: higher means stronger, more consistent research. It does not measure safety. It is not medical advice.

For education, not medical advice. Talk with a licensed clinician before you start, and never stop or change a prescribed medication without your prescriber.
