Rancid Fats
Interesting little abstract about rancid Fats. Apparently they destroy vitamin a when consumed by an animal. This brings to mind the many native cultures which had, and still have, fermented meat or fat as a staple. Could it be the real health value of them is not the "probiotics" of the bacteria colonizing it but the antidote properties of the rotting fat?
A culture huge in this sort of meat eating is the northern Inuit peoples. They have several meat sources very high in vitamin a, and like most native peoples, have no proscription to shy away from the high vitamin a animal parts like the liver. Polar bear liver in particular is known as one of the most vitamin a-toxic animal products there is. Could this wet-aging (and raw eating) of meat be a prophylactic against vitamin a?
And further, could the scavenging of rotting corpses, common amongst every carnivore I've heard of, be a similar function?

Perhaps small amounts of other toxins help because they wake up the detox team.
Vtiamin A is a pigment, and it gets deep into things.
I was musing the other day (and I guess this isn't a new one for me) I think vitamin-A toxic people are like Tupperware stained orange, LOL.
People try all sorts of weird chemicals to get the orange out of their Tupperware. Perhaps bleach or peroxide or detergent or vinegar. Acids, bases etc
I wonder if the weird vinegar-like things created by decaying flesh might be on that idea.
But also amines (which there would be lots of) run down the same detox pathways as vitamin A, and perhaps ingesting amounts of it wakes up the detox crew and vitamin A gets cleaned up with the amines. I also wonder if that is how alcohol helps.
I react to amines. Back when I was having "chronic vomiting" and headaches they were on my bad list. The FAILSAFE diet (low amine and other food chemicals) helped me more than, for instance, gluten/dairy free.
Interesting subject for sure.
