As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Really, you are what you absorb and digest.
Congrats on getting off the meds.
Yes, and I’ve been told that masturbation will cause blindness too.

Would that be physical blindness or SPIRITUAL blindness?
I have one, I see if I can't find it...
Basically vegetable oils are hydrogenated fats (unsaturated) versus saturated fats like coconut oil, lard, butter and flaxseed oil
Hydrogenated fats molecules are straight and tend to clump together which clogs arteries
Saturated fats molecules are bent and do not clog arteries
Thanks. We only use canola oil every 2 or 3 weeks to fry chicken or shrimp. I don’t buy any prepackaged food for other reasons, I am allergic to corn so that is out. Butter and olive oil is it for day to day cooking.

Interesting, thank you.
——If you have to worry about it that much, you have some serious health issues.——
Lol... You have that exactly backwards....I have/had serious health issues, I don’t want to cut 20 years off my life...
I’d like to see my granddaughters get married....
I was eating tv dinners for lunch at work and sometimes at home for about 2 weeks straight. It was convenient as it takes 5 minutes to microwave and the food can taste good.
I was getting more and more tired and remembered why I had stopped eating the tv dinners in the past. I stopped the tv dinners and the tiredness went away.
Best, straightforward explanation!!!
Soy is poison. Not fit for human consumption, from calcium-robbing chemistry to phytoestrogens to this. It’s an industry like HFCS and industry is about selling its product and buying off the FDA. Not blasting free market economics, just suggesting we learn more about what we’re eating.
We almost completely avoid soy products, rapeseed oil, aka “canola,” and most all vegetable oils. It’s been obvious for some time that they’re extremely unhealthy.
Use butter, lard, beef tallow, and maybe a little olive oil. That’s what our forebears, many of whom lived into their eighties, nineties, and even past one hundred, used.
Along with eggs, red meat, fresh ground wheat, and garden vegetables.
Keep heavily processed foods, or foods containing tons of additives, to a bare minimum.
Even if you don’t live longer, you’ll feel a whole lot better. I know I have since we shifted back to this sort of diet a few years back.
“Canola” was a word made up a couple decades ago to refer to “Canada-Oil” (Can-ola)and the oil is from rapeseed. They didn’t like the sound of “rape” (though it comes from the Latin word “rapum” meaning turnip.) The rapeseed is related to mustard and turnip -— not sunflower: it’s a brassica, also related to cabbage, collards and such.
I’m using the Gerson method, among other things, for a recent cancer diagnosis. One of the big no-noes is soy. We ate fairly well before: no sugar subs, HFCS, hydrogenated oils, msg, etc. Now we’re super strict. So far my PET and bone scan have come back clean. One month down, seventeen more to go! The first thing my cousin, a pathologist at a major NY cancer center, told me was to eat ALL organic if we weren’t already doing so. We had visited her parents a month before and their fridge and pantry had only organic products.
That makes it sound OK. What could be bad about cabbage etc. ; )
It's rapeseed oil. For some mysterious reason the marketing association for Canadian farmers didn't like the name "rapeseed oil" hence the new name "canola".
I agree completely! Politically I’m to the right of Attila The Hun, but I have become much healthier in recent years by eliminating certain foods from my diet (wheat, sugar, bad oils). We use extra-virgin olive or coconut oil exclusively. I get a kick out of so-called mainstream scientists saying we need to study this more—the fitness community has been aware of this for years now. This isn’t a fetish or political. God bless you if you can eat anything with no ill effects. My body just wasn’t that forgiving any more!
——Soy is poison...... It’s an industry like HFCS and industry is about selling its product and buying off the FDA-——
Nail on head....the more research I do, the more I see the FDA is corrupt as any other federal ABC agency....
I’m not saying they purposely hide negative research but only publish research that does not effect Big Ag...
I was surprised they banned trans fats....which should have been done years ago...
The percentage is tiny.
I stand by that if you worry about it that much, you have serious health issues. The actual percentages are tiny, and heavily overblown by food fetishists.

Yes.
And here is the story of the Greek island of Ikaria that has the highest population density of people over 90 years of age:
I was actually speaking in terms of how smoking affects your overall health long term, not just cancer.
Is is no case to be made that smoking is healthy or does not put you at a much larger risk of dying earlier of related diseases...
The smoking stats..
Smoking accounts for 30 percent of all cancer deaths and 87 percent of lung cancer deaths; the risk of developing lung cancer is about 23 times higher in male smokers compared to non-smokers; smoking is associated with increased risk of at least 15 types of cancer; or that smoking causes millions of deaths worldwide.
That being said: My grandfather smoked for 80 years, mostly unfiltered, he died from a misdiagnosis... bad heart value..
