Re: laughter is the best medicine?

[Guest guest]

Since I just had my morning oatmeal, I just had to laugh, for my health!

BTW I am curious what do you Croners (or maybe Crooners) eat for a typical

breakfast, For me it is oatmeal soy milk and soy powder and dried fruit.

It is the one meal that I think I have some measure of control over at this

point in my life! I say some measure as I use sugar, ooppss.

Hi All,

The below may be the reference or a letter to the reference. Out website

access seems to have a problem getting in to see the article at the moments.

It has been said that other healthy activities after eating help keep

glucose levels low. Exercise is a good example.

Cheers, Al.

your breakfast is missing fat and veggies!

soy milk and soy powder are very low-quality processed junk foods.

soy needs to be fermented to neutralize anti-nutrients without damaging

amino acids, and i'd be worried about consuming so many phytoestrogens on

a regular basis.

here are some articles about soy:

if you're going to add sugar, at least use unheated raw honey.

Rapadura (dehydrated cane sugar juice) is also a more nutritious

alternative to white sugar. oats are already so sweet and delicious that

i can't imagine adding a sweetener. i hope you are buying whole oats and

grinding them yourself, or at least using cracked or steel cut oats, and

soaking them overnight in whey/yogurt/buttermilk/kefir.

Mike: what sort of credentials does Weston Price have? I've never heard

of him before. Walford OTOH has great stature and respect in the

scientific community.

The soy question is still being debated. I still eat it and so does Walford

and Weil.

I agree that the less sugar the better. If Dennis is adding dried fruit to

his breakfast, which is quite sweet, then why add sugar? Train yourself

away from the cloyingly sweetness that the food industry puts into many

processed foods. Or add sucralose or Splenda for sweetness.

Hello Francesca and All :

Yes, laughter is the best medicine, just

click the link below and see:

That will be possible, in the future, not with

beer, but with something much more powerful

hahahaha... LOL.

i don't know of any good links for biographical info on WAP, but there is

this short article on the WAPF site:

http://westonaprice.org/nutrition_greats/price.html

he authored " nutrition and physical

degeneration " , a treatise that has had much influence.

i think he belonged to all the prestigious scientific organizations of his

day, but i don't the list in my files. you can judge his work for

yourself.

of course Walford is an accomplished scientist who i admire, but

unfortunately he does give some poor advice in recommending high PUFA's

and low SFA's. he may be knowledgeable about nutrition, but it is not

what his scientific reputation is based on, and there is much greater

depth in Sally Fallon's synthesis of current research and nutritional

anthropology. Walford completely misses some huge ON topics like gut

bacteria, soil fertility, antinutrients, etc.

certain aspects of soy are still being debated, like the phytoestrogens,

but other aspects are well-established and contraindicative of unfermented

soy foods. nobody denies the high levels of anti-trypsin and phytates, or

that certain amino acids are denatured at certain temperatures reached in

the processing of some popular soy foods. and the phytoestrogen issue is

too scary for any sensible male to gamble with their health unnecesarily,

which is not to say a little bit of miso or natto here and there is a

problem. i highly recommend the articles i gave a link for.
