Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 > Re: five sugars aloe, two sugars whey, one sugar inulin, psyllium OK, I've updated the post and included a sample recipe; you might have to understand how healthy these ingredients are to make sense of it; a lot of people don't know about glyconutients at all for example. Most of these are explained on my website. A few years ago, while considering how glyconutrient jam, a natural alternative to processed glyconutrients, must taste, I came up with this cute idea for more palatable fare using a pudding example. Of eight conditionally essential glyconutient sugars, five sugars occur in aloe, two in undenatured whey, and one in the coconut cream. Long-chain inulin is good for the bowel ecology, psyllium for pudding thickening and fecal bulking, and vitamin C we know about with the whey markedly increases your antioxidant pool and rduced toxin load using both glutathione and C. Flavour varies with the cold-processed whey isolate or concentrate drink you choose; it's also an excellent protein source. Most people should also add selenium to their custom blend; the amount varies depending on the arsenic, a chronic selenium depletor in their drinking water, but 200-600 mcg should be about average. I'm indifferent to the inulin source because even natural inulin will correct bowel dysbiosis, but I mentioned long-chain because some people may prefer sugar-free FOS free or naturally long- chain inulin because the short chain components are readily fermented by a wide range of organisms. A new inulin source, agave cactus, has a higher percentage of longer-chained inulin than jerusalem artichoke, dahlia and chicory. I choose aloe vera gel because whole leaf aloe contains an irritant, and I chose psyllium powder over other thickeners because it gels well enough to make pudding with and unlike some gums it does not support most bacterial growth. Someone mentioned using ground flax as a thickener; in my view flax isn't a particularly good thickener or a better food than other seeds. The omega-3 oil in it, LNA, does not convert well to EPA and DHA, and other than that LNA is useless to us. As babies raised on LNA-free breast milk survive if EPA and DHA are present, apparently LNA is not the essential fatty acid it's commonly thought to be. Here's one recipe I came up with: Basic Health Pudding - Strawberry Kiwi 36 grams of undenatured strawberry-kiwi whey concentrate 5 grams (a teaspoon) of inulin 5 grams (a heaping teaspoon) of psyllium powder 30 grams (about 2 oz) aloe gel 2 grams ascorbic acid 110 grams (about 4 ounces) coconut cream (giving up to 18 grams of coconut oil and some natural xylose) 4 oz. water or juice to get desired thickness Add good stuff we're probably deficient in to taste, such as a dollop of deodorized EPA and DHA (not flax oil), a pinch of potassium chloride, a 1,000 IU pellet of vitamin D, a 200 mcg selenium, one or two vitamin E gelcaps, a teaspoon of liquid lecithin, that kind of thing should hide in there OK.
