2. Re: Is it okay to juice regular vegetables vs organic?

I buy completely conventional food. I'm on a budget and high quality local conventional food is fresher and less expensive than either organic or non-season conventional. I'm also afraid after reading Christine Cox that organic food is more likely to make me sick because of pathogens like ecoli. I like farmers markets or gardening my own. Most of the organic food I see in the store is les

3. Re: The amazing purslane and hydrilla

purslane is very high in Omega 3s, alpha linolenic acid. In the Omega Diet, it's identified as one of the key foods that gave Crete such good outcomes in the 7 Countries Study by Ancel Keys.

the sooner we get rid of this subforum the better, it breeds more heat than light, more antipathy than reason. That's why John Kohler wanted to get rid of it. What I do not understand is why it is still here.

What is the name of the store you bought it from in Toronto? Check the name against the list provided by US Juicers, the North American Distributor after completing the form. If your dealer isn't on this list, you probably didn't buy a warranted unit in which case you are on your own. You shouldn't be servicing it through the retailer but rather through authorized service center. . If

8. Re: Testing instead of supplements for B-12 & chlorella

I first heard about it from Brenda Brazier, author of the Thrive Diet. Brendan is like Harley and Tim Van Orden a dedicated vegan athlete. Brendan's specialty seems to be how to recover from an athletic event. Chlorella has been kicked around a bit by Michael Greger and other mainstream vegan doctors. But Chat is right, it's got more science behind it than spirulina without the risk of ex

9. Re: Raw sources of complex carbohydrates?

I take your point. And yes, there is probably some compromise in nutrition, though how much I'm not sure. I take a freshly ground tablespoon of flax with my morning smoothie to assure myself of all the nutrition flax has to offer. On the manna bread, I strictly add the flax as a healthy binder. One could also use psyllium fiber, or chia seeds. I like flax for the omega 3 and lignans.

10. Re: Raw sources of complex carbohydrates?

I agree with Panchito. If you have a dehydrator, food processor and a sprouter, use kamut (related to wheat but lower in gluten) and sprout it until you get "tails" about a 1/4 inch long. This is when the grain is at its sweetest and doesn't taste grassy. Usually 36 to 48 hours of sprouting. There are lots of recipes. A basic one could be 1 cup of sprouted kamut, 1/2 cup

23. Re: B12

I could be wrong. But I thought the main point of all foods (animal and plant) is not whether they just contain active-B12 but also whether or not they can reduce methyl malonic acid (MMA)? The claim I guess is that if enough of the B-12 analogues (B-12 like substances that don't actually work and can block true b-12 absorption) are present even if you have enough true B-12, you aren't absorbi

27. Re: oxalates

I find it is a good idea to mix high oxalate greens like spinach and swiss chard with low oxalate greens like kale and bok choy just so that you have a wider range of mineral sources (calcium, iron and zinc). Beyond the stone risk, you'd just be absorbing less of the minerals available.
