Standard American Diet. " SAD Diet " seems a bit redundant, though. Kind of

like saying " 50 MPH per hour. "

Hi and all,

I remember feeling this frustration and sometimes am still baffled by the

alphabet soup that gets tossed around. I'm going to start an acronym

dictionary for NT & other dietary acronyms. When I get it done I think

there is a way to upload it so it's available to all at (could the

moderator please contact me about this). It will help though if you

and anyone else out there who would like to help can send me 1) acronyms

you've seen but don't know what they mean, and 2) any favorite acronym's you

use (for all you acronym slingers out there)--I especially need help on the

Fatty Acid stuff.

Oh and please back channel all this info so we don't clutter up the list. My

email address is @...

P.S. I'm not a philosopher nor do I get bored on Friday nights, I just love

anything that helps us all communicate better with each other

I have to guess that I am not the only newbie frustrated with the

acronyms. I do not know what a " SAD diet " is, unless you are talking

about mine before nt. Anyhow, its very difficult to search the

archives for a simple definition. I searched SAD and there were

several hundred messages returned - most of which never mentioned SAD

(someone explain that please). Anyhow, I just wondered if next Friday

night when one of you philosophers is bored because the board is slow,

would you start an acronym definitions page (it might be more fun than

nitpicking each other <wink> ).

TIA,

C.

SAD is also the acronym for Seasonal Affective Disorder, a depressive state

affecting many in northern latitudes in winter. Its linked to short days, lack

of sunlight and vitamin D deficiency. The D deficiencies that the SAD

(Standard

American Diet)has are answered by WAP and Sally's work. Easier to blame on

nature than to look at the culture's diets that weren't affected by it

historically. So the SAD (Standard American Diet) can make you SAD.

Hi - I already sent a moderately-sized directory to the list this

morning (maybe you haven't seen it yet). So it might be a good place to

start and save you some time. I like the idea of uploading it (but where

does one locate the uploaded list -- I've never learned about that)?

Hi Mark--

Yes I did see your message after I sent my message. I don't always read all

the threads unless I have lots of time so I almost missed it because you

sent the message without a subject line. I already started to transfer your

list over to my document, thanks, what an awesome start and yes it will save

lots of time.

As for the uploading In Home page for Nourishing Traditions

Group on the menu on the left there is a link for FILES right under CHAT and

above PHOTOS. There are actually other documents there already. So once I

get the list done I can put it up there and will notify the list. I'll try

to stay on top of keeping it updated and adding any new acronyms that don't

make the first go round. I see there is a way to send a document to all new

subscribers so that is something the moderator may wish to do once I get the

document done. Any other suggestions about how to make this the most useful

for folks are most welcome.
