i can't find any clear evidence linking k to strokes, but i think there's grounds to be careful.

so, we're going to x out the dandelions due to excessive k and a bad 3:6 ratio:

and really double down on the broccoli leaves:

the self database is missing a lot of data, and it seems like it has a ? for the e content of the leaves rather than a 0, so i don't think there's a contradiction. but, that study i posted is clearer:

The recommended intake of vitamin E is 15 mg/day for adults according to the USDA nutrient database [39]. A 100 g portion of fresh florets, stems, or leaves of broccoli can provide 0.15, 0.14, or 19.9% of the RDA, respectively.

so, it's the leaves that get you the e.

and, it seems to be, by far, the best way to get e without caving in to what are very, very high amounts of omega-6s or questionable fats.

i just need to find somebody that sells the leaves as some kind of salad base. is it going to be as hard as finding raspberry leaves?
