How much of this is one source
Read from 20 sources. 14 of the 18 questions here rest on a single source with nothing yet to check them against.
What is still to read is kept per ingredient, not per topic, so every ingredient named above carries its own list.
Still to read means nobody here has got to it, not that it was tried and did nothing or that no research exists. A pairing on no list is not a gap: we never set out to read it.
