I ran across it and can’t help myself I really believe in the SCFA. I did try to search the site for Parkinson’s and resistant starch but my tech skills are limited and if we discussed it (probably did) I couldn’t find.

Nutrient-density is not a competition. There’s not a single “best nutrient” or most important nutrient. We need a combination of foods and a wide variety of nutrients for optimal health.
