Nutrition: A Cultural Issue?
How 'bout all the millions of people who live in the cities? Somebody has to grow food to feed them. We grow enough veggies in our garden to feed us and share some with our neighbors, but we can't grow enough to feed the whole country. We don't have room to grow any kind of meat. We have... -
Nutrition: A Cultural Issue?
It is not possible to grow enough food for the increasing population on decreasing farmland without finding ways to increase production. Can any of us grow enough food to feed all our neighbors in our little garden areas? That includes meat as well as everything else. -
Polyphenols in coffee and tea
Yvonne, I don't remember ever hearing about polyphenol until you mentioned it here. I've been looking for info about it since then. It turns out that a lot of the foods we are eating has it. So, I think we are good. The only time I drink my coffee black is when I have fasting lab work. It's... -

Low carb, Atkins, Keto, Carnivore WOE Discussion
I was on the low carb eating plan for several years. I lost about 25 pounds. The detractors say that it will raise your cholesterol, but my cholesterol actually went down. I missed potatoes, corn, carrots, and beets so I added them back to my diet. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but I ask myself... -

Nutrition: Fats and Oils
We were told that lard and butter were going to kill us, use Crisco and margarine instead. And don't eat eggs! I went for years only eating eggs occasionally. Then they say, "Well, maybe we were wrong. Eggs are nutritious and healthy." Crisco is going to kill you. Eat vegetable oils instead...
