Nice article. Definitely challenges the folklore.

I too noticed the tips of my plants nipped by the deer, the plants near their path. As for the other nightshades, we call one "poison berry" to help the children avoid it so I have long forgotten the correct name but it is the only plant left standing in my sheep pens. All else will be bare so I must go thru and rip up plants before the seeds are sufficiently ripe. It also has the repulsive pungent smell like tomatos.

Im all for using the whole plant.... would be great if these leaves could be used for either human or animal feed, even if in small amounts.

The body NEEDS cholesterol to make too many vital biochemicals to name. The problem generally is that the cholesterol is not kept in storage ( inside cells) due to bad diet and it s used to patch microsopic damage to blood vessels due to that bad diet ( become plaques).

The cancer aspect will have me looking into more details on that. IMO we humans have become cancer prone, and anything to battle cancer cells has my attention.

Specifically looked for green shouldered varieties to order. Looks like anything "black" and a few others are noteable.
