I can't answer that because the USDA nutrient database has no listing for perilla, chiso, or shiso and I got my data from a perilla seed container label, so even that is suspect and relies on the integrity of the packer.
My assumption is that perilla sprouts and leaves still have significant ALA (alpha linolenic acid) content but less than that of the seeds.
I think extra virgin cold press organic olive oil is probably the best of a bad lot. Although I use some of it myself I can't endorse it, because as with all oils it's 100% of Calories from fat, the wrong kind of fat with an LA/ALA ratio of 12, has no fiber, and recent data on advanced glycation end products (AGEs) give it a value of 11900 AGE kU/100g. Most fresh vegetables are down in the 100s.
@vshvideo - That's great thanks. So basically - 0 tbsp a day! Ha. That's fine. So as little as possible, but optimum is zero. That's fine. I like those rules. :-)
@vshvideo - Oh and tell, Dr. Harris thanks for all the great work he does. And thank you for getting a response, without messengers no one would get the message. :-)
I do recommend that everybody get a serum D level periodically, even here in Hawaii, because man-made atmospheric changes have disturbed the ability of some of us to
make our own D from sunlight exposure.
If you're one of those people you might need a supplement, but don't take it unless you are because it's toxic in excess.
@vshvideo - Thanks Again! So there are some excepts to the rule. But I guess there is with nearly all rules. :-) Tell William thanks a lot for his great advise. :-) And thanks bill for finding this information out for me, and explaining about Vitamin D.
This guy is (or SHOULD be!) THE role model for our children! He is what we should all strive to be. Most 80 year olds I know are walking with walkers or not walking at all!!! Bravo! Dr. Harris!!!!!!!
Do you get the same benefits from perilla seeds if you sprout them, or grow them into greens, rather than eating the seeds themselves?

What does he think of extra virgin cold press organic olive oil?

@vshvideo - Thanks for the response. :-) So would he say don't eat any or would 1 Tbsp a day be fine so long as you eat a lot of high fiber foods?
TheaDragonSpirit 2 weeks ago
@TheaDragonSpirit Dr Harris asked me to pass along his response:
I have two basic rules:
1. If it has no fiber, don't eat it.
2. If man made it, don't eat it.
Since olive oil violates both of those rules I advise against its use.
(I don't expect anyone to follow it, but recognizing those rules is the
first step in improving diet.)

@vshvideo - Actually I have just realised, what about B12 or Vitamin D? Should these be supplemented at all? These are man made.
I assume by man made he means refined from it's original form?

@TheaDragonSpirit Reply from Dr Harris:
As far as I know B12 is made only by bacteria so man only collects it and
puts it in pills, supplements, and foods. See the B12 section of this video at about 51:39
Best Regards,

"Vitamin D" is a misnomer on the part of the establishment. As defined it's
cholecalciferol and you can get my whole take on that in my YouTube Video:
Healthcare Reform: Emptying a Flooded Basement without Turning off the Tap: William Harris, M.D. at about 42:50.
