IF you had cereal for breakfast or just scoffed a sandwich for lunch, maybe don't read this. Because grains are destroying your brain, according to this doctor.

David Perlmutter, a renowned neurologist and president of the Perlmutter Health Center in Naples, Florida, says there's a close relationship between lifestyle, our modern diet and dementia.

Dr Perlmutter, who has just released a New York Times best-selling book Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar - Your Brain's Silent Killers says it's not just unhealthy carbs that should be cut.

I am doing my best to live on tuna, grass-fed beef, free-range eggs, and grass-fed milk and grass-fed whey protein.

Tuna!? Trying to increase your Cesium intake? ;)

To me, it all boils down to one thing. A frugal diet is the key to longevity.

Longevity isn't all it is cracked up to be.

My great grandfather lived to be 98.

His daughter lived to be 91.

The last 20 ain't anything like the first 20.

No thanks.

Makes me feel better eating a nice 1 lb steak.

How about going the rest of your life eating half of what you eat every day? It would be no strain on your body, in most cases, just a strain on you. And no beer! Ouch!

BTW, do you know what “trans” means? As in “transfats” ? I got to the point of looking this up, and found that it’s a term of Quantum Chemistry, referring to the symmetrical configuration of isomeric molecules. Doesn’t mean anything to you? Well, don’t let it worry your fuzzy little brain. Just believe what your masters tell you.

But honestly, it’s a very tangled web of reasoning which is distilled down to a doctrine promulgated to the populace as a list of bogeymen. Just read up on it for an hour or so on Wikipedia and give it some thought. It’s all very troubling to me.

Unless I saw the *farm* the fish came from myself, I wouldn't trust it.

Traditionally, one should rise from the table “still hungry”. This really makes sense to me because my experience says to me that eating ( at dinner ) to satiation is overeating.

It’s funny. FR is full of people who spend hours a day denouncing the government, but trust the government to love them and care for them when it comes to some things.

I’ve been taking nascent iodine for a couple of weeks. Yes. I listen to Alex Jones.

It’s comfort food. I do it too. I just so happen to have some medical problems, and I can’t get rid of the fat around my midsection.

But comfort food is a big problem. I want to try eating more smaller meals throughout the day, but I’m getting forgetful, and wouldn’t know how to go about it in the first place.

God didn’t make modern varieties of dwarf wheat, from which 99% of modern bread is made. We ‘improved’ on the original. Perhaps we had to just to feed everyone, but that’s another story.

God made einkorn wheat. That is the staff of life. Einkorn flour makes the best bread you will ever taste. And it truly is good for you.

Modern bread (on the other hand) is bad news. It has a higher GI than sugar.

Hope this is helpful.

The subject of GMO and Monsanto has been discussed here many times. I think people should do their own research and decide for themselves. I don’t trust government and I don’t trust Monsanto.

A couple of months ago I heard on the Fox News Channel that people should eat salmon over tuna. OK . .my “brain” doesn’t remember exactly why but at the time of the program featuring two doctors, I made the decision not to eat it any more. Could be the radiation in the water where the fish came from.

There’s nothing left to eat that is healthy for you.”

Sure there is. Strawberry ice cream on your cereal for breakfast provides fruit and protein. Pumpkin pie for lunch provides your vegetable and Pecan pie for dinner because nuts are good for you.

It’s popular with me. I do not eat engineered artificial processed food if at all possible.
