7. Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Hi, I follow a vegan diet which is mainly comprised of fruits, vegetables, some nuts and seeds, and occasional avocadoes. People say that a vegan diet is deficient in Cobalamin (vitamin B12) and that I should eat some fortified foods that contain vitamin B12. How do you get your vitamin B12? What is a good source of vitamin B12 in a vegan diet? What should we do to get enough vitamin B12?

8. Mangoes and Poison Ivy

Hi, Is there anyone here who eats mangoes with their skin? I stopped eating mangoes completely after I found out mango skin has poison ivy. I love mangoes; but if the skin has poison ivy, we should assume that the flesh has poison ivy from the skin or in itself as well. I don't eat cashews for the same reason. Mangoes belong to the cashew family. I don't know what to do. Should I eat

Hi, a lot of us say and it is stated in many books that we should not drink water at least thirty minutes before and after a meal or during a meal (Am I right on this? Is it thirty minutes?), because it dilutes our stomach acid when we need it most for food digestion. But here is my question: Let's imagine that a person makes an almond milk for themselves by blending water and almond in a bl

12. Almond Milk

Hi, Has anyone seen any Raw Almond Milk in stores? Are the Almond Milks in stores Raw? Do you know of any specific brand that is Raw? I don't buy almond milk from food stores because I think they are heated and devitalized. I add raw soaked almonds to my salad sometimes. Thanks, Navid

Hi, Some people say it is not healthy to take a shower after a meal or before a meal. They say it slows digestion or has ill effects on our digestion. Does anyone know anything about that? Is the whole shower thing a myth? Regards, Navid

14. Re: Fruit seeds and Checking Body Fat Level

Wow, Fantastic replys. Thanks guys, I didn't have the vaguest idea about apple seeds and their toxicity. Also, one more thing: Do you guys eat 100 percent organic? I used to eat 100 percent organic but I lost weight so precipitiously because I couldn't buy the food I needed. I eat some conventional food now that are not contaminated with pesticide as much.

17. Re: Please Help! Distilled Water vs ....

Thanks so much guys. Millions of health conscious people drink distilled water and none of them seems to have any problems with it. Is there anyone who can measure the pH of distilled water before drinking it? Bryan could you do that? I will fast on distilled water probably in five days. I don't think anything will happen. My uncle has been drinking distilled water for ten years and he
