Jan, thank you for posting this.
I agree with you and the author’s recommendation to stay away from US grains, and Vegetable oils.
US grains are genetically modified, heavily sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, for producer’s benefit (Corp yield), Not consumer health.
Grain consumption is often identified by credible allergist and GI tract physicians as having a role in causing inflammation related maladies, Krohn, irritated bowel syndrome, etc.
Canola oil is a scandalous product. There is No Canola plant. Canola stands for: Canada Oil company. They were able to genetically modify toxic rape seed plant and diminish offending toxic compounds. Rape seed oil used to be designated as unfit for human consumption.
Anyway, I know that if you eat “clean” you’re doing what our creator intended us to do.
It works for me, my marathon running grown kids, and physicians that I know.
Imagine how well our Healthcare system would run if lifestyle related diseases were greatly reduced (thru voluntary cultural shift, not coercion).
I will admit, carb craving is difficult at times.
Best of health to every Freeper here!
That rapeseed oil considered unfit for human consumption is very misleading. Rapeseed is a fine oil. It used to taste bitter. It was crossbred into a variety that lost the cause of that. But it was never unhealthy.
Almonds used to kill you with cyanide. A few handfuls would do it. Ever wonder about that “bitter almond” scent they warn you about in NBC training? There’s a reason for that. After a few mutated trees were found, they were crossbred and cultivated until now almonds are our friends.
And also, canola is for Canadian Oil, low acid. Because if you call it rapeseed, those same loony housewives with a hobby would freak out again. I wish they would just go back to watching CSI.
But on the other hand, that lead them to stare at their kids every moment 24/7, never let them play unsupervised, and create a generation of Ritalin addled overconfident kids who can’t pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel. But that’s just my opinion.
But rapeseed oil was never toxic. It just had a bitter taste people didn’t like. But many crops we find common today such as almond really were toxic.
And I remember something about god giving us dominion over everything and it being here for our use.
