Fish and Shellfish
Published in Christopher Cumo, Ancestral Diets and Nutrition, 2020
United Kingdom pharmacologist Paul Clayton and historian Judith D. Rowbotham (b. 1952), both introduced in Chapter 1, argued that Britain’s masses lived long, vigorous lives between roughly 1850 and 1870. Subtracting mortality before age five, commoners lived as long as today’s developed populations despite medical care that current physicians would deem substandard.185 Fresh herring was a staple in autumn, winter, and spring. Other seafood included sprat, eel, cod, haddock, John Dory (Zeus faber), oyster, whelk, mussel, and cockle. Brits ate the whole fish rather than just muscles as is common today. In addition to fish and some meat, the masses consumed onions (Allium cepa), watercress (Nasturtium officinale), Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), carrot (Daucus carota ssp. sativus), turnip (Brassica rapa ssp. rapa), cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), peas (Pisum sativum), beans, chestnuts (Castanea sativa), walnuts (Jaglans regia), hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa), almonds (Prunus dulcis), apples, plums (Prunus domestica), gooseberries (Ribes uva-crispa), chicken (Gallus domesticus), eggs, and cheese. Clayton and Rowbotham did not specify the beans, but they were likely Phaseolus vulgaris, which since the sixteenth century (see Chapter 8) had become global staples.

The presence of MN in the below-mentioned sources can be classified based on their ubiquitous distribution in the family of Moraceae, Rosaceae, and Fagaceae. MN is a polyphenolic yellow flavonol compound present majorly in the branches of White mulberry (Morus alba L), Osage orange (Maclura pomifera), Apple guava (Psidium guajava) and Old Fustic (Maclura tinctoria) and Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa). MN is also found in seed weeds, almond hull (Prunus dulcis), figs (Chlorophora tinctoria), sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa), onions (Allium cepa), jack fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and red wine (Supplementary Figure 1). Additionally, MN is also an integral component of complementary and alternative medicine (Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian system of herbal medicine) preparations (18, 23).
