that's fine. If you were already aware of AGE formation and electrolyte imbalance as well as better alternatives with sprouted legumes and grains and you'd made a decision you wanted to go ahead anyway, then by all mean

I have purchase a nine tray Excaliber dehydrator and am trying to produce unlevened spouted bread using a recipe from Raw Food Revolution that relies on sprouted wheat berries, soaked & dehydrated walnuts and dates. Followed the time recommendations in the book but the bread is still too moist.

I'm glad you look young. As far as I know, there isn't an RDA for fructose. Is it the high fructose corn syrup

12 bananas? they are very high in both calories and fructose. Fructose contributes to Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) which are linked to aging and disease. Several studies have indicated that studied vegetarian populations have higher AGE levels than the studie omnivores. Best to stay with low sugar fruits such as berries, melons, and citrus and keep your glycemic load and fructose

I don't think that's true. Even though most primates live in a tropical climate, there's still a wet season and a dry season. I would think they would have to drink water during the dry season when fruit is less prevalent.

Actually eating more shortens life would be more accurate. Eating less activates the SIRT2 gene which has been shown to lengthen life among a variety of species. It also reduces circulating glucose levels which reduces cancer risk. Wrt less than what, less than we eat normally. We don't exist in the wild so speculating about what a subsistence diet is in terms of caloric level isn't really

Weigh in daily, every morning after elimination. If your weight fluctuates up to a pound, no biggie. If it's more than that in one day, pay attention. Probably retaining fluid (sodium) or eating more than you need to. If it happens two days in a row (more than 2 lbs per day), I would be concerned and take action to prevent a third day.

Actually, you are much better off eating cooked corn on the cob.
"Cooking corn also has been shown to significantly boost its antioxidant activity, despite reduction in vitamin C.When the ability to quench free radicals was measured, cooked corn outperformed raw corn by between 25 to 50 percent. Cooking corn releases a compound called ferulic acid, which provides anti-cancer health

I completely disagree with you. In humans, the highest prevalence of centarians is in Okinawa where CR is practiced among the populous. In higher order animals,not that I condone these experiments from an ethical perspective, rhesus monkeys who live CR well outperform controls in both quality and quanity of life.

Nutitional information about them vs. flax seed is contradictory. My package says they are better than flax. USDA database says flax is better than chia. One thing is sure. Flax need crushing to get the oil out, chia doesn't. Chia doesn't sprout well. It's hydrophillic. Add 9 parts water to one part chia and flavor accordingly.

Tamukha,
Yes, I've had some bad experiences with organic food. And some good ones as well. My philosophy on organic food generally is that given the lack of data linking human exposure to pesticide residues to cancer and other conditions, my default is to buy conventional for everything except the "dirty dozen", e.g. I never serve conventionally raised strawberries in my family.
