Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 See these prior posts: /message/9562 /message/9563 and also our file " Desirable foods to Include in One's Diet " under the folder: BEGINNING CRON. Actually if you only imbibe in " forbiddens " on rare or special occasions, you'll be Ok. It's the everyday (usual) pattern and calories that makes the difference. I do eat shellfish and drink coffee (coffee has many beneficial effects as we've previously discussed, so I'm not sure why it's on the " neutral " list below). I eat walnuts, eggs, avocadoes and tofu as well. on 6/8/2004 2:54 PM, Rodney at perspect1111@... wrote: > Hi Barb: > > Here is something from an earlier post here: > > " > HEAVILY EMPHASIZE: leafy green vegetables (spinach, romaine, bok >> choy, etc); fish, especially canned; tea; onion family; cruciferous >> vegetable family; processed tomato products; lemons; SOUPS. >> >> EMPHASIZE: all other vegetables; almonds; brazil nuts (not too >> many); olive oil, safflower oil (when necesssary); chicken; beans > and >> peas; oats, bran, buckwheat, barley, millet; wine; seaweeds; >> mushrooms, many types; fruits that seem to have PROVEN beneficial >> effects (blueberries, etc); zero fat products if they really do have >> a fat content less than 10% of total calories; bread products, whole >> grain. >> >> NON-COMMITTAL: fruits in general; bread products, white; rice; > pork; >> shellfish; liver; pastas; coffee. >> >> AVOID WHEN POSSIBLE: Salt; sugar; beer, liquor; canola and soybean >> oils; walnuts; flax; anything with a very high fat content > (including >> egg, tofu, avocadoes ...); beef and lamb; butter, cheeses, cream, >> milk (even zero fat). >> >> AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE: Margarines (no matter WHAT the advertising >> claims); mayonnaise; tropical oils; anything deep fried; muffins, >> pastries, pies, donuts, cookies, etc.; chocolate products with the >> words 'palm' or 'hydrogenated' on the ingredient list; egg yolks.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi Francesca: Coffee is on my neutral list for the following reason. I DRINK TEA!!! I drink tea because, even before CRON, my test data suggested it was highly unlikely I would die from heart disease or diabetes. The next highest cause of death, second behind heart disease, is cancer. Tea has been shown to have a protective effect against eleven different forms of cancer (Meta-analysis published by Tufts Human Nutrition ....... Research Center three or four years ago). Rodney. PS: And it looks like CR will reduce the chances of heart disease or diabetes to pretty close to zero. (Yes, and cancer also, but not to as great an extent as heart disease, I think). PPS: I drink my tea with lemon - a combination of a slice of lemon and lemon juice. > ..............

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 RE: coffee. While it does have many beneficial effects, it also may have some detrimental effects such as a tendency to increase blood pressure in some people, a tendency to increase anxiety in some people, and a tendency to reduce insulin sensitivity in some people.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi Francesca: Regarding Splenda ............ As you know Splenda is mostly maltodextrin, with a tiny amount of sucralose and a couple of other minor ingredients. I only just realized (perhaps I read it here?), and according to sources I have checked, the glycemic index of maltodextrin is 137!!! I wonder who the genius was who came up with the idea of blending something with a sky-high glycemic index with a product diabetics would likely want to use? I wonder if he has been fired yet? These people must be completely nutz. Rodney. (If anyone has information that suggests the glycemic index of maltodextrin is not above 100, please post the source. Thanks.) > > > Hi Francesca: > > > > Coffee is on my neutral list for the following reason.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi : Coffee also increases the incidence of ectopic heart beats in people who have them. (May not be a serious problem, though?). Rodney. > re: Coffee ............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Actually I do use sucralose which I purchase from Warren. I have no idea why I wrote Splenda - & right after I sent that post, I thought of posting a correction but figured it wasn't worth it........... on 6/8/2004 4:25 PM, Rodney at perspect1111@... wrote: > Hi Francesca: > > Regarding Splenda ............

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 I also drink both. Coffee may help prevent Parkinson's, and I find caffeine very helpfull in my working life. I also drink black, green, and white tea. I think each beverage has its own beneficial effects. >From: Francesca Skelton <fskelton@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Food Preferences >Date: Tue, 08 Jun 2004 15:41:45 -0400 > >thanks Rodney. I drink both myself! I have two 1/2 cups of coffee a day >(with skim milk) or one full cup a day; and liberal amts of tea (including >lots of green tea for its' health effects).

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 I find tea to be THE most helpful substance to keep appetite soothed between meals... I drink it with & without sucralose.... about 3-4 cups every day. Tea is at the top of my list. I lean towards green & white tea with the notion that my teeth won't stain as much.
