Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Thanks Nina. Well, I guess Asian prepared recipes for soy seem to fix the goitergenic properties of soy in daily eating. The popular soy drinks and non-dairy milk drinks remain questionable in my mind, though with good access to iodine rich foods it's probably not an issue. My mother grew up in a midwestern prairie eating a healthy diet but no seafood or coconuts (or iodized salt until later), she told me of often eating raw garden produce including the cruciferous veggies and peas. She developed hypothyroidism and had to take medicine for it the rest of her life. I've heard just a teaspoon of iodine is enough to last a full year, and that too much is as bad as too little ie goiters, hyperthyroidism. Can VCO be used for cooking in the same way as corn oil? I'll look around on this site, sure it's here. Dave > > Soybeans, cabbage, et al. are fine to eat when processed properly. > > Cruciferous vegetables require cooking or fermentation.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Do bears poop in the woods? The best idea is to use almost nothing but! I use a little virgin palm oil in addition, however, as I find it prevents sticking better than coconut oil does. I use a wallop of VCO and a quarter teaspoon of virgin organic palm oil for most things. Be sure not to cook any of it on high heat. Nina << Can VCO be used for cooking in the same way as corn oil?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 > Do bears poop in the woods? Polar bears don't! But that's another topic altogether. For many years, all I heard about palm oil was that it was bad for the heart. I didn't know that it was the hydrogenation (hardening) that was the real problem. What a conspiracy of misinformation, " palm = bad, soy = good " , over and over. Is VPO & VCO approximately similar to olive oil in cooking and raw? DD >The best idea is to use almost nothing but!

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 There is an excellent book about nutrition that actually has several chapters in it regarding how the Thyroid, diabetes, Autism, ADHD, etc. can all be affected by Nutrition. It really makes the point as to how important proper nutrition is, and how it affects our behaviors, not just our health. It's called Food as Medicine by Dr. Dharma Khalsa. -----Original Message-----From: iodine [mailto:iodine ]On Behalf Of EllenSent: Sunday, December 10, 2006 12:18 PMiodine Subject: Re: Autism and vaccinations We have a DO college here so have met and known a lot of medicalstudents thru the years. They want specialties. They want somethinginteresting and exciting. They see nutrition as dull, boring, andold-fashioned. They all realize the importance, but it just isn'texciting enough for them. They spend very little time on nutrition...very sad. I too wish I could go back and study it formally- I find itfascinating and see so many ways it could be utilized in conjunctionwith allopathic and osteopathic methods and philosophies. (I guess Ishouldn't leave out chiropractic either, although they tend to be moreopen to the importance of nutrition. Allopaths (MD's)are the worstIMO) It's too bad we're in the minority.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Join the FlaxseedOil2 group. nutrition Group, Is anybody on, or can someone recommend good mailing list(s) dealing various issues of nutrition? I am not so much interested in recipes, but rather in things like using nutrients, i.e. minerals, amino acids, etc, for nourishment and healing.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I so agree with both the article about nutrition and the response on how good it was to mention this. They say you are what you eat, unfortunately it is often difficult to change eating habits. I am trying, but often healthy lifestyle does not agree with my family's eating expectation. My husband things healthy is bad. Duh. Also a lot of the really good organic foods cost so much more. I wish nutritious food would be cheaper and bad for you food would be really expensive. that would help. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Here is a link to a book review I wrote. http://www.bookpleasures.com/Lore2/idx/0/2893/article/Nutrition_and_Physical_Deg\ eneration.html?pt_sid=da8047da30fdb61a597b79169c4f1316 The Title of the Book id Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price. Many of you may have heard of it. I feel it is a must read.The Price Pottenger Foundation , which is a non profit organization, is dedicated to making our lives healthier through basic native nutrition and all sorts of other information which advises people how to raise and buy foods locally. We need to take back our food supply if we are to survive. The link to the foundation is found at the bottom of the book review.
