<www.mercola.com> is down on grains as well. He claims they're a

major reason for type 2 diabetes, hypoglycemia, syndrome X. Its not

that cholesterol clogs up one's cardiovasular system. When one eats

grains its too much carbohydrate and our body pumps out insulin to

conpensate. Mercola suggests the insulin trashes the inside of the

cardiovascular system and the cholesterol is there to depair where

ever there is damage.

Mercola has a book out pushing his diet as well.

The ancient Taoists used to say, " the grains feed the worms. " My TCM

teachers remind me not to take the ancient Taoists to literal.

Its enough to accept too much grain is just not good for you.

Girl, you made me go to my book shelf and hunt.

Mercola's book is called " The No-Grain Diet; conquer carbohydrate

addiction and stay slim for life " .

I saw nothing about sprouted grains. He does suggest what he calls

" healthy grains " (quinoa, rice, millet, tefff, oats, amaranth, and

buckwheat) but mostly as a transition food (getting away from a bad

diet slowly) or if one really needs the extra carbohydrates for

running a marathon or something else drastic.

He gets picky about starchy vegetables and fruit that is too sweet

also.

If you've been to his web site <www.mercola.com> you'll know he's big

on raw (unpasturized and unhomogenized) dairy products and grass

fed cattle (versus the grain force fed raised on antibiotic cattle).

I also recall him having an explaination on his web site of his

diet with the suggestion that if you can't get off junk food you'd

probably be wasting both his time and your money by making an

appointment to see him.

He might have changed his web site since the book came out.

I knew a couple people where I used to work who saw him as their

regular dr. (his office is in a northwest suburb of Chicago) and they

didn't seem to be on much of a healthy diet themselves , but they

knew that and openly admitted it to me.

When I had a mundane job I didn't have to say anything when

people ate garbage in front of me at work.

They'd always hold it up and say something like, " yeah, now I'm

going to trash my pancreas or something. Straight to hell in a

hand bag! "

LOL.. don't you just hate that... when you have to go check out further.. sorry... but now it makes a bit more sense... the good grains so to speak... I still think that sprouted grains are okay...

Hmm, down on some veggies and fruits.. interesting ... of course I don't think anyone should live on just a couple items... variety... the spice of life...

Thanks for looking it up Penel..

Me too. I think the bottom line for anyone is to pay attention.

Where I used to work everyone carried antacids in their pockets.

They'd make themself physically ill on something day after day

and never stop and think perhaps they just shouldn't be eating like that.

Nothing is arbitrary.

Not only do we have food quality and preparation to consider, we also

have our personal genetics and how we react to our environment.

I think there's something to be said for eating produce in the season

it becomes edible. Is something grown in the damp heat of the tropics

good for someone living in dry coldness of the wintery north?

It all gets back to glycemic index. Carrots, sweet potatos and beets

have a lot of sugar in them. Take out all the fiber when one eats

them as a juice (Mercola loves juicing vegetables) and they really

spike the sugar which in turn spikes the insulin.
