a list of the 15 healthiest foods (Not!)

[Guest guest]

The article is essentially garbage.

 

The healthiest food is arguably undenatured whey; it's missing

from the list.

 

Oatmeal and sweet potatoes aren't that healthy; they are chock

full of carbs. Carbs are at the root of the bowel disorders

epidemic AND the obesity epidemic. There are ways to get fiber

without tormenting your bowel dysbiosis and inducing insulin rise

and glycation. Rising insulin shuts down metabolism, forcing the

body into fat storage mode, increases cortisol release and

reduces immune response by about half for awhile. Glycation kills

by making proteins " sugared " and non-functional and by increasing

free radical damage by a factor of 50.

 

Soy isn;t that healthy either; a search on soy warnings or the

darker side of soy turns up lots of data that is sure to overturn

the perception that soy should be used as a food. The " lower

cholesterol is healthy " is a postulate that has been proven to be

false information.

 

Salmon is only non-inflammatory, high in EPA and DHA, if it's

wild; farmed Atlantic Salmon should be used with caution.

Similarly, fish oil must be wild; if it isn't wild you can better

use it for lamp oil Flax oil isn't particularly healthy except

as a fiber source; it's tiny LNA conversion to the useful omega-

3's EPA and DHA is less than what's needed, and LA has NO other

function and the LA in Flax is usually unnecessary and may

actually interfere with the LA conversion.

 

Selenium is only present in Brazil Nuts from Brazil; it's a

common " antioxidant error " to assume your Brazil Nuts contain

this antioxidant precursor. Similar story for nuts containing

magnesium and zinc, and the cauliflower story being a (potential)

manganese source, and the sesame seeds. If it ain't in the soil

or water, it ain't in the veggies, so you have to know the

growing conditions of the veggies to know if they contain those

minerals.

 

People with bowel dysbiosis should probably skip the Pinto Beans;

the raffinose and stachyose in beans are two sugars that

dysbiosis bacteria use in hydrogen sulphide production, a

pronounced toxin, a source of bowel irritation, and a carcinogen.

We discuss this kind of thing on the candidiasis list.
