Real education on the truths about much of the food we take for granted. This one-post blog a one-man crusade to save perhaps a few from the horrors of obesity, wrecked health and shortened lives.Although the dangers of sugar are being gradually realized, the much bigger threat behind it - and one which our government will be loathe to admit - is the refined flour-type food group. This blog aims to highlight their much under-rated damage to health, also.
Hi A, y'r one step ahead of me, I've only just figured whats going on & why folk cant see the mainpage, so have copied & pasted the link to it.
Am up to no good, 'fraid A. It's the dark energy season. Many people dying and cracking up. Too much wine & work shifting the DVDs, not enough kinky sex or money.
Some things more…
Hi A. Thanks 4 that. I think I did write "scroll down the main page to the cheese update". Or are you suggesting something else? Am not 100% au fait with Windows etc.
Now! With the cheese abstinence, yr 10st target should be no sweat :) Was going to post you the news\ I had just updated the FPI blog cheese-wise, but you are pretty qu more…
Interesting stuff on the cheese Mike. There are plenty of Bloggers on diets who could do to read this but you need to put a link to it in your original posting earlier today so they can get here :) more…
I can see where you're heading and I enjoyed your article. The problem is this: We have to find a common denominator. Tell the Italians they can't eat cheese. Tell the Danish they can't eat Pork. Tell the British they can't have sausage and mash. What's your point? Must we go low fat in every way? Must we be vegetarians? Can we convince the World-- more…
Hi interesting post -for me we are all connected to the earth and the earths cycles -we should therefore eat food in season -the natural balance of things is imperative -this is why we are experiencing problems with nature and resources -if a vegetable doesn't grow naturally in summer or winter then it has to be grown under unatural conditions not more…
Many thanks for that. I can't really comment authoritatively on your "foods in season" query. I'm not a dietician, nor have I studied the subject 100% thoroughly, I'm simply presenting one side of the diet argument that, by experience, I know something about.
From what you say it would seem to make sense to eat mor more…
This is very interesting, as I am bereft of knowledge in this subject matter, can I ask if you think there is any scientific benefit to eating only foods that are in season? In the Middle East, it is considered - largely out of reverence to ancient traditions - that it is unhealthty to eat food out of the natural cycle.
I agree with most of that V, except that yes, ketone bodies are toxic, that's why they are ejected from the body through fat-rich urine. When these natural fat-burning hormones are shut down by large ingestion of refined carb foods, the fat has nowhere to go but store - and that includes as cholestrol in the arteries.
And there I was thinking you were just bashing the refined carbohydrates on this blog but in fact you don't seem to be in favour of any type of carbohydrate rich food.
"The body is very well adapted to burn the calories in fat for energy because it produces a natural fat-burning hormone, as do all animals of course."
Hi Velvet, many thanks for the comments, you have obviously studied food science to a degree.
In answer to your points. .
1) " Due to its core ingredient, wheat, then of course white flour is a ingredient naturally rich in carbohydrates... and actually the majority of this is complex (slow burning), not sugar as you make out. Wh more…
"And it contains nearly as high a % carbohydrate level as sugar itself. In other words it's very fast-burning and will store as fat and arterial cholestrol unless you're digging up roads all day or something."

Many thanks Nubian S. Yes, there is more awareness recently about the danger of sugar but very little on the white flour front. The pasta /pizza/ white bread danger is really underplayed because we tend to eat much more of it, pound for pound, than sugar.

I battle with food all the time. I do not buy any processed food tend to cook food from scratch. I refuse to go to any burger bar and give them my hard earned cash to slowly kill me.
I completely agree that the Government pushes increased levels of activities instead of educating the public on the real dangers of 'bad' food. However more…
Thank you Charlie. I don't think the average person in the street is aware of how addictive and destructive refined sugar and flour products really are to their systems, it's very underplayed in education, news and advertising.
And yes, if you are talking of cigarettes, that's a bit more obvious these days, there are many anti-smoking more…
Nice and informative bolg.But u also know it very well that most of the people know this things that these are very harmful to enhale but they are doing.I think we should take some step to make people aware of these things.......... more…
In studying the Vedas, the oldest wisdom scripture and guide to living in the world - again not promoted in the west - it mentions it is offensive to kill cows because they provide so much for human society when alive. That's why cows in India are protected, even cherished. Krishna also honoured them as being very special animals. I'm not a Hindu b more…
