inflammation is a huge issue. until you've done the tests both blood and prick, you don't have an informed answer. After the diagnosis, you can ground truth it though experience but the tests are test for a reason. Most people handle gluten just fine, myself included.

182. Re: Nuts about nuts
you can reduce the phytic acid by soaking and then dehydrating your nuts, though you don't have to. I do it because I like the taste. Nice crunch for the organic trail mix.

agree with Isha. Make nut mylk with a blender, not a juicer. Soak the nuts for 12 hours or so ..so that they release any anti-nutrients (phytates). Use a nut mylk bag. Some have recommended paint strainer bags from home depot or lowes. Can't speak to that. I use a few nut mylk bags I've bought from Raw Food World and Cherie Soria's site. Work ok. Best.

Fry,
I think it looks good. Chris and I agree on one thing, the spirulina has to come from a high quality source. Your Parry report does mention mycotoxins which covers one of the toxins Greger mentions. Maybe you could query the company on the neurotoxins and hepatoxins to see if those are covered as well. I'm not sure about Chris's assertion that these are always the result of cross co

Chris,
thanks. I appreciate the clarification. and at the end of the day the buyer has to make the decision. For me this is an easy one. There are better sources for the nutrients you need.

I would stay away from spirulina as there are some serious risks that may be posed by the substance.
Chris (Powerlifer) and I have different views on Dr. Greger's assessment. Chris feels that Dr. Greger has "cherrypicked" a few studies while not weighing the potential benefit of the spirulina. And I agree spirulina has potential benefits. Dr. Greger stipulates this in

I don't think Greger would disagree that spirulina has possible benefits. In fact in the first video he stipulates this and provides the citations. The question is risk to benefit.
What concerns me about spirulina is the 3 types of risks presented: 1) muscle breakdown, 2) liver cancer, 3) neurotoxicity. If you could find an organic supplier of spirulina who quality checks it for thes

It's an interesting finding on the hydrilla. The problem is that even if the b-12 is bioactive and increases serum b-12 in people who eat it, that isn't a reliable way to tell if the B-12 is doing its job. . Rather, if eating hydrilla will help to lower methyl malonic acid (MMA) levels in B-12 deficient people eating it or if it will lower homocysteine, that looks promising.

Isha,
Welcome to the club. I think you will find in the year ahead it's one of the best purchases you could have made. Sometimes when making a major purchase you have to go with your gut as I did between the Super Angel and the Norwalk & Green Power Elite. Both the Norwalk and Green Power Elite are superlative juicers. No question. I went with the Super Angel for the versatility,

Tamara,
That one was there to make sure you were paying attention! Sorry, when I said keep em, I meant don't buy em. The Mediterranean pine nuts are higher in protein, less greasy and longer more torpedo shaped than their China or Asian raised cousins and more expensive. We've had discussions on this on the Fuhrman board. Excellent protein source, tastes great, just not cost effective

pine nuts to me are cost prohibitive compared with other nuts. Walnuts, almonds, pistachios, greevbacks, brazil, macademia and cashew all cost less. And the walnuts, pistachios and almonds have excellent health profiles.
Mediterranean pine nuts as opposed to those grown in China are higher in protein but at $30+ per pound, keep em.

Madcat & Isha,
To get back to you, there aren't a lot of options.
The Samson is expensive and perhaps design flawed (look at what data you can, ask John directly at sales@discountjuicers.com). I can't honestly say about the Rajkumar. To be honest Madcat, I looked into this for hemp oil a few years back and kind of forgot about it. I have a Rajkumar contact if you need more info

Samson may still be an option. Just be aware it's $350 and Kohler has discontinued it due to "design flaws" even though he hasn't specified what those flaws are. I have an Indian Oil Expeller I haven't used. As far as flaws are concerned, it certainly isn't raw. But if heat is required to get oil which makes sense, you have to make your own judgement.

agree with RAllen, if they are questioning, the assumption is that they have the weight of evidence on their side.
No question factory farming is cruel
No question vegan diets in general and raw vegan diets in particular are more ecologically sustainable and have a lighter carbon footprint.
That leaves health. And that's all you will probably ever argue with at least an enlightened

yup.... it's been promoted on this side of the ocean too.
Basically, you eat "normally" for a day and then have 20 to 50 percent of the calories of the same thing. For a raw vegan, I guess that would mean less fruits and veggies on the light days.
It has some science behind it. Mark Mattson of NIH has compared "caloric restriction" every day against alternate d

Coco,
Congratulations on the purchase of the Ninja. I doubt it was in commerce when Popular Mechanix video was made. We discussed the video comparison. Most have dismissed it because of the way it was edited and operator error, even a Ferrari can be driven badly.

welcome. I can't speak to the % pesticide reduction. But that sounds about right. The juicer itself is wonderful. Bone dry pulp, high yield juice, all stainless steel contact surfaces. I have never regretted my purchase.

One of the oft sited limitations of the Nurses Health Study are the limits of the cohort itself. "Low fat" for this cohort meant 29 percent fat in the lowest quartile. By comparison, 6 percent fat was typical in some rural counties of the China Study (not a cohort study, but rather an ecological one).

All studies have limitations. Prospective cohort studies are considered to be in general more authoritative than retrospective cohort studies where the recall bias you are considered about plays more of a factor or case-control studies.
That said, the Nurses Health Study within its limits is a useful piece of work when put into context. Conclusions will change as the weight of evidence an

That's interesting. My dentist claimed that resin was only for the front teeth. But obviously your experience suggests otherwise. I wonder if he was trying to avoid liability or work? who knows.

I wonder if mercury/silver amalgam is a health issue. I haven't seen much data on it one way or the other. I know that the composite is not for molars, only for front teeth. The resin isn't strong enough for molars.

the RDA for iodine for adults is 150 micrograms per day. sounds like if you are on the low side of iodine and taking large quantities of cruciferous, could be a problem. As always, the dose is the poison. thing is, in moderation, cruciferous vegetables along with allium veggies are the best at stopping cancer bar none.

I don't know. The blades on the dry blade container are different from the regular "wet" container. More like a grinding mill. Do you think you will be milling much flour? If not, pass.
