Neurologist claims grains are destroying our brains

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.

Though it does explain PETA.

Thanks. Dave sounds like he needs some help. But his bread remains superduper anyway.

The original human diet would have been some combination of shellfish, fish, and fruit (humans originally lived in water).

Another way to look at it, beginning around 1206 AD in East Asia, there was a struggle for dominance between a nation whose people ate mostly grains and a nation whose people ate meat and dairy products. Despite a 100-1 edge in numbers, the vegans lost.

Down here in the South we have figured out that if you just deep fry it it kills all the bad stuff. :-)

Grilling works the same way.

Anyway, I don’t have to worry because I don’t use Roundup.

I use the cheap stuff from Tractor Supply instead. :-)

Yes. It's good. Best bread I've had in a long time, and the ingredients list is words I know how to pronounce.

Ha. Yes we pay more and get less fancy unpronounceable chemicals. And some grains I’ve never even heard of but the bread sure tastes good! We buy it six loaves at a time and it keeps great in the freezer.

“If you ever need an example of how lieberals are wrong look at the dietary advice they gave 20-40 years ago.

“Eat lower on the food chain” more grains and carbohydrates, less meat and protein. Otherwise you are destroying the Earth.””

It’s probably the same liberals giving out the new advice now as it was 20 plus years ago. Most of the health food fanatics are liberals and they permeate the health advice fields in gov’t and elsewhere. Were they right back then or are they right now? So, the advice that seems most logical to me is eat in moderation, and eat anything you want, just not in excess. Plus keep other vices to a minimum, and exercise once in a while, or just walk a lot. Bet it works best of all.

All fish are exposed to radiation. It is everywhere in our environment. There is no way to determine whether salmon fish injested radioactive particles from the radioactive piles originating from Fukushima unless the fish’s flesh is analyzed carefully. Since I live in the Pacific Northwest and regularly eat salmon, if they were poisonned with radiation, I would know about it. So far there is no evidence of that.

The problem as you have expressed it is obvious: you are confusing radioactive materials, substances like uranium and plutonium, with radiation. Radiation is the result of unstable elements, such as uranium and plutonium, emitting sub-atomic particles as they decay.

The analogy I use is that of dog poop. The dog excrement, or poop, is to plutonium, like radiation is to the stench of the dog poop. The dog poop emits a smell. Plutonium emits radiation, and it is emitted in a straight manner - no sneaking around corners or magically being transmitted to the coast of California.

Radiation itself cannot sweep across the ocean. In fact, water is used as a protective barrier against radiation. In addition, plutonium is a heavy element and sinks to the bottom of the ocean. FYI there are three types of barriers to radiation: physical barriers such as shielding, either lead, a sheet of paper, water, or concrete; distance from the radioactive source; and finally, time as the elements decay.

“Radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity, is the process by which a nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting particles of ionizing radiation. A material that spontaneously emits this kind of radiation—which includes the emission of energetic alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays—is considered radioactive.” (wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay)

Plutonium is an Alpha particle emitter. You can be shielded from that radiation by wearing a paper suit and a face mask. Such particles are dangerous when injested or sucked into your lungs by respiration.

Furthermore, be careful going to the internet for information about Fukushima. There are an enormous number of hysterical anti-nukes who play upon the ignorance of the general public. Where I live in southwest Washington State, there were outrageous claims on some internet sites that tens of thousands of people were already dead here, all because of Fukushima radiation. This was false, purely disinformation meant to cause panic.

I live not to far from Willapa Bay, home to the Willapa oyster. I love oysters! If these animals, who are bottom filter feeders had become poisonned from exposure to radiation, the State of Washington fisheries would have shut down the few local companies harvesting the oysters. this has not happened and I do not anticipate is occurring at all.

So take heart, Maudeen. Don’t let the illegetimi (bastards) get you down.

I used a rectangular 3 qt, deep baking dish, buttered.

Half filled it with sliced apples, about 6 or 8 of them...wasn’t paying attention.

Sprinkled them with about 3-4 TBLS flour & a bit of salt.

Next, they got a thin layer of brown sugar. I do this by eyeball, rather than measured amounts, until it ‘looks right’ from experience.

An even sprinkling of nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon.

Meanwhile, the bacon was cooking: 8 slices, slit lengthwise into thirds, then sliced crosswise into dices.

When it was ALMOST crisp, it was spread over the top of apples, and a large handful of chopped walnuts & another of chopped pecans went in, and the whole mess mixed thoroughly, then generously dot with butter.

The topping was a double recipe, with a 1/4 cup of the bacon grease substituting for 1/4 cup melted butter, of Fannie Farmer’s Cottage Pudding:

(single recipe)
Bowl 1: sift together: 1 1/2 cup flour; 1/2 cup sugar; 1/2 tsp salt; 1 tsp baking powder

Bowl 2: 1 egg, beaten; 1/2 cup milk; 1/2 cup butter, melted: mix together then add to flour mixture, and gently mix; pour over the apple mixture, and bake in preheated 425F oven about 30 minutes.

The top will be dark golden brown & crisp, but the bottom of the pudding will be thickened, but slightly custardy. Adjusting the baking time & temp can make the entire pudding cake like, if you prefer.

I had the idea to try this because I like apples fried with bacon & sweet onions, served with fried eggs.

Usually, for a cobbler, I use a 2 quart round casserole dish about half full of canned peaches, with all the juice; 3 TBS Minute Tapioca granules, and a single recipe of the pudding batter, but still had fresh apples from our trees that needed to be used or lost.

Mrs AR does most of the cooking, and I do most of the baking & canning.

THANK YOU!! Occasionally I make an apple pie with bacon and cheddar but this recipe sounds better. I’m going to call it ApplegateRanch’s Famous Apple-Bacon Cobbler. LOL!
