>>>It makes sense if one considers a hungry person. He won't limit

led to believe.

I am not sure what you mean by " led to believe " about " natural "

vegetarianism, but I don't think there are many people, including the

vegetarians themselves, who believe that humans are/were vegetarian by

nature. The human digestive system is omnivorous and there are no

known vegan populations, let along pure vegetarian.

Humans have always consumed whatever was available in the environment,

including bugs, insects, etc.

Today, many have the luxury of choosing to be a vegetarian based on

philosophical, religious, spiritual or health reasons. And it is a form

of luxury that was not always available.

Also, just because something is either plentiful (insects) or tasty, or culturally acceptable, does not necessarily mean it is beneficial, healthy, or conducive to longer life. I don’t have an opinion one way or the other about insects, just that as jeff says, if it’s edible, people will eat it.

Hi All,

Insects actually sound pretty nutritious. The pdf is availed of the paper:

Actually, there is no such thing as a vegan diet. Most natural

vegetable products have some insects, insect parts, or insect larvae.

Many years ago, I watched a guest engaged in a lively conversation

bite into a large strawberry. As she was chewing half of it, I

noticed a worm in the second half. I was about to warn her about it,

but before I could say anything, she put the second half in her mouth

and ate it. Almost immediately, she said with great delight that

these were the tastiest strawberries that she had had.

The FDA says that a few insect parts won't harm you. The link below

states that apple butter is OK to eat as long as it has less than 4

rodent hairs per 100 grams, or less than 5 or more whole or equivalent

insects (not counting mites, aphids, thrips, or scale insects) per 100

grams. You see, aphids don't even count.

Levels of natural or unavoidable defects in foods that present no

Maybe? But i'm not going to start eating insects based on pure spec ;)

As far as animal products are concerned maybe there's smthg in them

that we need. We DO know that's there smthg in them that is bad..

saturated fat and cholesterol. That's why we limit their consumption.

This is interesting.. why do you eat meat at all? If there is smthg in

meat that is necessary for health eating " every few months " is not a

good bet that you're getting enough of whatever it may be.

Hi Maco,

I was impressed and intrigued by your post. Would you share with the

group details of what components of your blood work improved after

adding fish and fowl to your diet? Thank you.

what in Fish do you think you are missing out so you eat mostly chicken?

This list is about PROVABLE choice, evidence to back our posts and

Below is an excerpt from an NIH fact sheet. Some foods are fortified with B12, as they mention, and some physicians give B12 shots to the elderly, I prefer to get my vitamins from food as we have often discussed here. I feel nature's method of nutrient delivery is best when possible:

What foods provide vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 is naturally found in foods that come from animals, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. Fortified breakfast cereals are a particularly valuable source of vitamin B12 for vegetarians

See: http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB12.asp

for more info.

Hi Francesca,

 

I am also on plant based diet most of the time. But I also eat some meat on social occasions.

 

Is it true that B12 can only be found in meat?

 

If possible, please advise me.

 

Many thanks and best regards,

Hi Pamela,

I have been veggie since I was 8 years old & will be 40 years old in a few weeks

(eek!).

I was always very, fit & active (sky-diving etc!) until 9 years ago after

suffering Epstein barr Virus. I am happy to stick with my veggie diet as I feel

I get enough protein and lots of goodness from the veggies.

I am no expert on tryptophan but I just googled " vegetarian sources tryptophan "

which listed quite a few articles about veggie scources of tryptophan such as

this:

http://gottryptophan.com/article-tryptophan.html

It lists plant sources of tryptophan as:

" Nuts: Almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, filberts, peanuts and peanut butter,

pistachios

.. Seeds: poppy, pumpkin, sesame, sunflower

.. Tofu, tempeh, and cooked soybeans

.. Beans: especially lima ; red kidney, navy, pinto, and black beans

.. Lentils and split peas

.. Wheat germ

.. Brewer's yeast "

Obviously some of the above such as tofu & soy beans are not recommended for

people with low thyroid but I am just listing examples from their website.

Do you eat enough protein? I eat lots of homemade dishes with lentils, beans &

pulses as they contain plenty of protein.

Good luck in your choice,

Take care,

x

Hi Pamela:

In my opinion people do need a bit of meat, the body uses it for good. I used to

be a Veggie too, but I now include a turkey sandwich a couple times a week and a

couple scrambled eggs. The adrenals need the fatty bits from meat to help them

run properly so whenever I make a pot of soup, I throw in a square of salt pork.

You won't catch me eating a hamburger at Mac's or sitting down to a steak

dinner, but I feel it is important to get meat a few times a week. Vegetarians

are notorious for being low in Vitamin B-12 and the other Bs as well. Some B-12

levels are so low, I can't believe they're walking around at all.

This book is also very interesting if you haven't already read it. You may be

able to find it at a yard sale or a used book store for just pennies:

http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Type-Individualized/dp/039914255X/ref=sr_1_\

1?s=books & ie=UTF8 & qid=1311791302 & sr=1-1

Cheers,

JOT

>> I have been considering eating some meat for some time - partly because I

have seen quite a lot of info re the need for tryptophan

can't you just take 5-htp? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Hydroxytryptophan

it's made from a bean, you can get it from holland and barratt

or viridian do a trytophan capsule:

http://www.viridian-nutrition.com/shop/L-Tryptophan-220mg-P492.aspx

have you considered whether you have low stomach acid (you can take HCL for

this, google it) or low digestive enzymes (again treatable, mandimart.co.uk sell

good enzymes)?

http://www.thefooddoctor.com/Bloating-Ahealth_fdw_bloat/

you may need b12, have you tested it? solgar do a good sublingual cherry

flavoured tablet

can you eat eggs or whey protein? at least no animals were directly sacrificed

for those (though i'm aware of the dairy and egg industry and how it operates).

there's also casein, but i for one am very intolerant to that.

i believe dr broda o barnes thought that too much protein would lower

metabolism, but i guess that may not be a problem for you if you're not already

getting enough protein.

http://www.xylzw.com/tag/broda-barnes/

" …it has been clearly established that a high protein diet lowers the metabolic

rate, [therefore] symptoms of hypothyroidism will be aggravated… Hypoglycemia

may be controlled on the high protein diet, but the other symptoms of thyroid

deficiency which usually accompany hypoglycemia are aggravated. "

I agree, and it makes sense on some level that protein would lower metabolism.

For starters, protein, calorie for calorie, is more satiating. Therefore, you

eat less food – not good for the metabolism of someone in a functional state of

starvation. Secondly, consuming EXCESS protein beyond what your body uses (and

your body uses very little for muscle-building if you are not eating very many

carbohydrates – the Taxi for getting dietary protein into muscle cells), forces

the excess protein to be burned as energy (protein oxidation). Uh oh, you need a

rise in adrenal hormones like cortisol to use protein as fuel, which are

antagonistic to the thyroid, increase insulin resistance, etc. "

Hi Pamela,

I think comments are excellent.

I too have been a vegetarian all of my life, I have never eaten meat, well not

without my mother forcing it down my throat. So I am a natural vegetarian, I

have no moral problems with meat eating although I think we are naturally

vegetarians and should eat much less meat. Interesing I am also A negative

blood group; the natural vegetarian according to oh golly cant remember his

name! oops.

My question would be you mention Tryptophan, why are you concerned about getting

tryptophan through eating meat?

B12 is the only thing you cant really get much of through eating a vegetarian

diet unless you eat animal protein other than flesh.

There is much science out there suggesting vegetarian diet is more healthy for

humans than meat eating appears to be. HOWEVER, saying that if you are feeling

you need meat and you are suggesting eating it two or three times weekly that is

for you to decide. Turkey has the most tryptophan more than any other meat.

I believe we are naturally vegetarians, but that maybe we would have in our

primitive state eaten meat had we fallen over some dead carcass and other food

was scarce. Further I think we possibly ate more fish as it is possible for

primitive man to catch fish relatively easily and to access the flesh without

needed to struggle with getting into the carcas.

Vitamin B12 is needed in minute amounts. Further we store it for 5-7 years.

Therefore you can see there was no need for us to eat much meat and that is why

we are not physically equipped so to do. Our bowels particularly struggle with

digesting meat hence the increased levels of bowel cancer in meat eaters. We

hypoT's have even greater problems with this.

So my suggestion would be maybe eat fish once a week or fortnightly and meat

occasionally.

Remember too that meat is the big cause of heart disease and particularly for us

hypoT's. The protein in meat is broken down with HYDROCHLORIC ACID of which we

hypoT's have little so ensure you supplement with it from Biovea £9 for 180

pills take WITH food.

So its brokendown into amino acids and one of the amonio acids is METHIONINE

this is further brokendown into HOMOCYSTEINE. now you are likely to recognise

this word as it is known to cause heart diesease.

Low levels are fine for us but high levels are not. Blood homocysteine levels

are known to be a very strong indicator for heart disease.

The homocysteine will cause a 'roughing up' of the silky smooth arterial lining

and this inturn stimulates an inflammatory response to repair the damage,

cholesterol and calcium are a part of this repair process along with platelets

and a myriad of sticky and other 'substances'. The repair leaves behind a raised

area which can be the cause of arterial lumen occlusion.

On occasions the repair behaves like a boil and bursts its contents into the

blood stream, this has the effect of causing a clot as the foreign material is

immediately engulfed again by macrophages and so on. This clot may then get

'stuck' in another area where a narrowing of the artery lumen has occurred. If

this happens to be a big clot in a larger artery of the heart then the

consequence is a heart attack. This can happen in the brain and ends as a

stroke, or the lungs as a pulmonary embolus or the legs as Deep Vein Thrombosis

and so on.

Hypothyroids tend to have a higher level of inflammation around the body due to

the nature of our disorder and this can be seen with the arthritic sweelings we

experience. So a nother good test to have done is C-Reactive protein. This

measures the levels of chronic inflammation around the body and is the second

blood test which is a very strong indicator of heart disease. Please note

cholesterol levels are not a strong indicator of heart disease. They are

however a strong indicator of hypothyroidism.

In hypothyroidism we have a problem with rising serum cholesterole levels as a

consequence of low thyroid hormone and particularly T3 levels.

T3 breaksdown cholesterol and increases the number of LDL receptors, thus

increasing the rate of lipolysis. When low levels of thyroid hormone are

available you can see the levels of circulating cholesterol is increased as a

consequence.

It is likely you have done yourself a favour being vegetarian for this time,

however, if you intend to revert back to being a carnivor then I suggest you

consider the issues above and do it gently.

Enjoy and be healthy, Sally xx

I think we are naturally vegetarians and should eat much less meat.

NO WE ARE NOT!! If we were meant to be vegetarian we would have 11feet longer

intestines and possible another stomach.

> There is much science out there suggesting vegetarian diet is more healthy for

humans than meat eating appears to be.

NO THERE ISN'T! There is much more evidence that proves a balanced omnivorous

diet is better than anything else.

> I believe we are naturally vegetarians, but that maybe we would have in our

primitive state eaten meat had we fallen over some dead carcass and other food

was scarce.

NO THIS IS NOT TRUE!!! Pre-historic people ate a diet of 98% meat thats what

the term hunter / gatherer meant. They never had any problems killing,

butchering and eating meat.

Further I think we possibly ate more fish as it is possible for primitive man to

catch fish relatively easily and to access the flesh without needed to struggle

with getting into the carcas.

AGAIN NOT TRUE! 'Primitive' humand ate very little fish in their diet unless

they lived on the coast.

> Remember too that meat is the big cause of heart disease and particularly for

us hypoT's.

NOT TRUE!!

NO, ARTHRITIS IS AN EXCUSE MADE BY A GP for not treating people with hypo

properly.

Please note cholesterol levels are not a strong indicator of heart disease.

They are however a strong indicator of hypothyroidism.

NOT ALWAYS.

SEE EARLIER QUOTE.....as I said a balanced omnivorous diet is the best for

humans.......

Have to say that being vegetarian hasn't stopped you getting hypo has it? There

is no advantage in being vegetarian or vegan, lifestyle choice doesn't really

alter your chances of getting hypo, its not like diabetes in that way.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - have taken note of all! didnt mean to

spark a debate on vegetarianism itself, which I think has to be a matter of

personal choice. Thanks again
