Actually, Canola oil is not bad for you at all if it's in it's pure form. Once it's hydrogenated, heated, then it's bad for you. You're right about butter though. Our bodies actually know what to do with that stuff, but it has a much harder time breaking down hydrogenated- modified veggie oils.
That’s what I mean. Put something in a mixture like that and it’s going to settle out Fur Shur, and how could you afford to fake it!
It’s the same old story. You think you’re getting virgin or extra virgin and you discover you’ve procured adulterated stuff. And all these guys can suggest is to rely on the taste test? Sounds fishy to me.
BLAH! Soysauce is a poison in it’s own right.
The salt alone in that stuff is enough to kill you, never mind the rest of the -who knows what is really in there- stuff. Most of it is made in China after all. I never touch the stuff.
Wheat, barely and rye isn’t bad for you. The key is staying away from refined by-products made from it, like gluten.
Stick to whole grains and you’ll have a healthier digestive system
In fact, my geneome believes gluten to be a terrible poison!
If I eat it I will eventually die a miserable death with shriveled up intestines ravished by untreatable cancers.
Gluten occurs naturally in wheat, barley and rye ~ it's a major constituent in fact. Doesn't matter whether you eat it in refined flour or whole grain.
As far as soysauce being made in China, it is, in fact, made in China and Japan AND, most of all, in the United States. You have to work hard to find imported soy sauce outside of the traditional Oriental stores, and even there many of them actually import soy sauce from Kikkomen in Wisconsin because American soy products are considered the highest quality in the world.
Sounds pretty close to my diet as well. With diabetics in the family and being borderline myself, There isn’t much in the cupboards and fridge besides staples and raw veggies. No heat ‘n’ eat or snack foods around here, except for maybe a bag of frozen pirogies.
Wonder if we can get Trader Joe’s to start whipping up some glutenfree pirogies.
I predict that everyone posting on this thread, including me, will die of something.
Remember what Rush said about carrots? Every Civil War soldier who ever ate a carrot is dead, proving carrots are fatal.
Bertoli? The EVOO I buy from SAM’S?!
If you are allergic to the stuff, then that’s a different story. But generally, the natural gluten in whole grains isn’t bad for anyone.
When huge amounts of it are refined from grains and globed together in some sort of snack treat (whose ingredient list reads like a chemical factory inventory sheet) Well then it just can’t be good. It upsets the natural order of things.
For most, moderation and variety is the key to a healthy diet, and a diet rich in whole grains is very beneficial.
How about olive oil from CA?
If you're gluten intolerant, then wheat, rye and barley in any form are going to make you sick. The end game is a full blown celiac disease. Most soy sauce is made with wheat. You can find wheat free tamari if you insist on that kind of seasoning. Even beer is off the list for the gluten intolerant. No french fries either...they are often fried in oil that has been used to fry breaded chicken or shrimp. Eating is an exercise in eternal vigilance for the gluten intolerant.
What is wrong with canola oil?
Please explain to me how canola oil is "real" olive oil? Do you approve of fraud? I understand that you feel that "oil is oil" when cooking. Still, if you pay for a more expensive oil, then you should get what you pay for.
Mark
Ripple isn't made anymore. So if you come across a bottle, it's probably fake. ;-)
Now for the next fraud. Just how do you know the steak marked certified angus actualy came from an angus bred cow. I gaurantee you or anyoneelse could not tell the differance between an angus steak or one that came from a herford. Mark my word, this will be the next cash cow” pun intended” our legislature will face.
