If I could just figure out how to not torch the burgers, ect., on the ol' barbecue that would make me happy. I don't think the neighbors will go for poached or boiled on the 4th of July... Good to hear that meat isn't "Frankesteined" by the micro. I hope the gelatin you are talking about isn't what they put in Jello. Doesn't sound like it would be good for the kids...
timely article considering this debate. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/07/h...int&adxnnlx=1139365511-DRiB/yHv/ZMHqUndzyvvkA Study Finds Low-Fat Diet Won't Stop Cancer or Heart Disease By GINA KOLATA The largest study ever to ask whether a low-fat diet keeps women from getting cancer or heart disease has found that the diet had no effect. The $415 million federal study involved nearly 49,000 women aged 50 to 79 who were followed for eight years. In the end, those assigned to a low-fat diet had the same rates of breast cancer, colon cancer heart attack and stroke as those who ate whatever they pleased, researchers are reporting today. "These are three totally negative studies," said Dr. David Freedman, a statistician at the University of California at Berkeley, who is not connected with the study but has written books on clinical trial design and analysis. And, he said, the results should be taken seriously for what they are â a rigorous attempt that failed to confirm a popular hypothesis that a low-fat diet can prevent three major diseases in women. And the studies were so large and so expensive that they are "the Rolls Royce of studies," said Dr. Michael Thun, who directs epidemiological research for the American Cancer Society. As such, he said, they are likely to be the final word.
Inadequate vitamins and minerals can affect your sanity: http://www.hon.ch/News/HSN/509174.html http://www.luminet.net/~wenonah/new/mental-h.htm There are thoughts that with intensive farming we have deprived our soils of important minerals and so we can't get them from eating normal fruits and vegetables, our only choice is to use supplements. http://art-bin.com/art/obeach_soils.html
I don't think it's good for our immune system to live in a sterile environment. I believe that for the immune system, "what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger". Look at the North American Natives, they were never exposed to the common cold until the white men came over. Then a lot of them died from it. There's a theory that allergies are becoming more common now because we're not exposed to enough disease anymore: http://www.hon.ch/News/HSN/509174.html
correct. http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/weeklyquestion/a/091602_ask_2.htm Pets and Allergies From Vincent Iannelli, M.D., Your Guide to Pediatrics. FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Recent Studies about Pets and Allergies While this studies may reassure people who have pets that they can keep them as they are having children, more testing will likely need to be done before doctors can make a general recommendation that people should buy pets to prevent their children from developing allergies. The main problem is researches don't yet know why having a pet protects your child from developing allergies. Is it the pets themselves, or something that people with pets do? Is it because children that grow up with pets live in less sterile enviornments? Early exposure to other things, such as egg whites and peanuts, are still thought to increase the risk of allergies, so it isn't clear why the same risk isn't there for pets.
"WOW!!! So you are saying that you cannot get the nutrients you need UNLESS you take supplements??? How did the human race survive for tens of thousands of years before supplements were available?" __________________________________________ They survived because they did not have to eat genetically modified, chemically treated, hormone injected crap that is called food
But how long did they survive for? I don't think they lived very long did they? Twenty to Thirty years max? Maybe genetically modified, chemically treated, hormone injected crap is actually doing us some good!... And lets not forget the dead singed animal carcasses we eat... That just has to be healthy for us...
Wheatgrass? Mmm Heard that it contains everything needed. One can survive on it. I don´t know if it´s true. But then we must make juice of it. There are special Wheatgrass juicers
