    The picture for the grass-fed vs grain-fed omega 3 in cows currently says that 5 grass-fed cows are the same as 1 grain-fed one when you mean it the other way around.

    • It’s meant to represent relative omega-3 content. Grass-fed cows contain 2-5x more omega-3s than corn-fed = 5 cows vs. 1 cow.

      It would be like having a bar graph that’s 5x as high. Sorry if it was confusing!

    wtf is all cause mortality? drink 6 cups of coffee per day?! that’s a addiction bro, please explain.

    • ACM = death for any reason. Not saying it’s practical, but most people view caffeine as a negative (especially in higher quantities), when it actually has a number of health benefits.

      I personally stay in the 1-3 cup/day range unless it’s a special occasion (i.e. I’m hungover or didn’t sleep bahaha).
