Retinol, or vitamin A, is a fat soluble vitamin only found in
animal foods in significant amounts. In this interview mineral
researcher Morley Robbins breaks down the critical importance of
this nutrient for regulating iron recycling, decreasing
inflammation, gene transcription, protecting from cancer, and
loading copper into the ceruloplasmin protein that expresses the
master antioxidant called ferroxidase.
He shares some fascinating and somewhat depressing information
about our current food system, even grass-fed and organic, and the
difference between marine and land sources of retinol. We talk
quite a bit about cod liver oil and why I changed my mind on
it.
Morley's approach is unique because its nuanced and focuses on
relationships between vitamins, minerals and enzymes, instead of
looking at any one of them in insolation like is often done in the
alternative health community. His Root Cause Protocol offers a list
of "stops" and "starts" that are a great foundation and starting
point to improve your health.
