Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hi Freecell: Well it is a free country. But coconut oil is about the one-but-last oil I would choose to use. It seems that hydrogenated vegetable oils are the worst of all fats. Then the next worst seem to be the saturated fat oils. Of the fat in coconut oil (and it doesn't contain anything else, no carbohydrate, no protein, no micronutrients listed) 87% of it is saturated (Source: Bowes & Church's 'Food Values .......'). It seems to be pretty generally accepted that saturated fats increase the risk of heart disease. As an example you might want to look at the results of the (huge, highly professional, thirty year) Nurses' Health Study (Willett - 'Healthy Women Healthy Lives'). In contrast fish and nuts both seem to be quite beneficial and in most cases contain appreciable amounts of, presumably good, fats. I emphasize those, and go out of my way to avoid (most of the time) foods containing appreciable amounts of hydrogenated or saturated fats. If you have a serious source for benefits of coconut oil (or for any harmful effects of fish or nuts) I would much appreciate seeing what their evidence is. Thanks. Rodney. > I'm new to this group but have been using high quality coconut oil daily as an anti viral, anti fungal and great source of fatty acids. is any one using it with foods?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 We recently had a discussion that tomato paste was already " cooked " tomatoes and all one had to do was add a bit of fat (olive oil) to get the most lycopene from the tomatoes. See post # /message/9343 However, are the tomatoes really cooked? I recently purchased some tomato paste based on that recent discussion; the ingredient label says: " tomatoes " . Shouldn't it read: " cooked tomatoes " ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 My understanding is that anything that is canned must be sterile when the can is sealed, or else the bugs will do their thing in the sealed can, producing a symptom rarely seen these days ..... a bulging can. Are tomatoes sterilized any way other than heat? The point is I am pretty confident the tomatoes have been cooked as this is probably the simplest method of sterilization.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hi Freecell: Regarding my earlier post about coconut oil, I have just been informed that there is a good deal more to coconut oil than meets the eye, and a lot more good about it than I am aware of. I will be trying to check it out in the coming week. If anyone is able to post more information on it, it would be much appreciated. If I locate stuff of interest I will provide a link to it. Thanks for raising the issue.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 I recall reading a book by a Enig that offered a glowing endorsement of coconut for just about everything.... calmer minds would point out that it's still full of saturated fat. Probably good to include in a varied diet, but as with all things moderation.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 How do they eliminate 3/4 of the mass if not by cooking?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 So tomato paste is bad? I made a lacto-fermented ketchup by adapting the recipe in Nourishing Traditions but I used organic tomato paste. And if tomato paste is moldy, what about whole canned (organic) tomatoes?

Whole canned unpasteurized organic tomatoes is okay, however most canned goods do tend to contain more molds. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 > > I'm wanting to make some chili, stews, etc from the recipe section but I have no idea how to make tomato paste. Is there a simple way of making enough tomato paste for the recipe rather than getting like 24 tomatos and using equipment that I don't have? I don't see myself making that much tomato paste and I don't need that much. +++Hi . I don't know of any way to make tomato paste without equipment. You can make chili and stew recipes without tomato paste - here's some: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/menu7_3.php Also go to this page and use your browser's Edit, Find on this page function to find other chili and stew recipes, i.e. chicken, turkey, etc. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
