Much of it is guesswork. To the degree possible, eat like people who had access to good food ate before food production became industrialized, and you will have your supplements. Where that is not possible, supplements can be a workaround, but still guesswork.

Experts? Really? The only expert I know is the one that created all.

Good advice, but problem: He's not always available for consultation. A reasonable substitute, perhaps is that mortals are available. They vary widely in quality of wisdom possible ethical conflicts, etc. Yet with some wisdom and discernment, and admittedly, a bit of luck and perhaps prayer if you think it helpful, will improve one's odds.

I do think it helpful, but I am a huge skeptic of such matters and I didn't arrive where I am now because somebody else told me it was so. Neither would I attempt to persuade others, but I do occasionally offer "things to consider".

My central "offering" at present is that while excellent work is being done in exposing the misdeeds of others, I suspect that little attention is being paid to the nature of our own thoughts and actions. I happen to think that the two are closely related.
