Interesting. I guess that's where eating for your blood type might further define what works for a person. Rubber band noodles, eh?

feedback I've seen is the rice pastas seem to be best tolerated.
interesting update on yam noodles: they are freaking WEIRD! like eating very long stretchy rubber bands.

Was thinking the same thing you were. I should of known you were going to catch that.


In reference to the reading, I'm a info junkie too! I swear I would like to know what I can do with it other than benefit myself.

I thought about that too. Lectins and all that. Maybe they dont bother everyone the same way.


That's the problem with many of these "studies", they take a wide range of people, and make blanket statements for everyone.

Take the understanding that the blood type diet gives us, and it all makes sense why one person would be healthier on a High Protein, High Fat diet and why someone else might feel horrible if they ate the same thing.


I also like some of the ideas the "Raw Movement" goes for. If you eat 70 percent or more of your food cooked, your body has a measurable immune response (forgot the name of it). I've also seen a full raw diet completely cure type 1 and type 2 diabetes in 6 weeks.

And I just realized I am deliriously tired lol and prolly why I wrote so much...

Sebastian---I agree with all you know...brings me back to the pH balance check in...Blood type specific...take that people....

I like that most of you, have a well rounded out knowledge.

It irks me when someone gets one piece of truth regarding health and then they spout it as gospel. Case in point, forks over knives. Had a relative extolling its virtues on facebook, like it was COMPLETE truth.

At best it is a "piece" of the truth.

hey, a little off topic -
I am trying to buy more organic. But my thoughts were it is better to buy organic meat than produce, if money is tight. I don't know if I can buy exclusively organic. Now I am worried about the listeria in the melons outbreak, and then I think lettuce too??
How are you all protecting yourselves? Thoughts?

by the way, I really love your Einstein quote, Sebastian.

Lila, fresh raw fruits and vegetables are the most risky foods to eat when it comes to such pathogens. However there are some things you can do:

when you buy local organic foods the odds are it's going to be of greater quality in general, and safer as well if it's a good farm with good sanitation practices.

many of these foods you'll want to consume raw (fried lettuce isn't so great) so how do you remove possible contaminants? washing in water is just about useless even though everyone seems to do out of habit. what I do is put the food in a tall glass container like a vase, and insert the hose of my ozone generator and let it bubble for a few minutes stirring often. ozone breaks down bacteria, fungus, protozoa and even many pesticides into simpler compounds and renders them inert.

of course cooking of foods has prevented a ton of sickness and disease throughout the millennia, as well as pickling and fermenting. some interesting things happen nutritionally with fermenting. fermented cabbage (sauer kraut or kimchi) is approx 10 times more nutritious than it's raw counterpart. anyway now I'm rambling

also when you buy from small farms, if there IS an outbreak it's much much easier to locate and isolate the source of the contaminant. unlike the mega-farms and other mega-food producers where a gazillion tons of bacteria-laden product may be distributed among 15 states before a problem is detected.

ozone generator? with a hose? wow! do you have a link for this? i looked on amazon for ozone produce cleaners, they are hundreds of dollars, and weren't rated too highly.
so i am interested what you have, what do you use it for, besides cleaning produce. I had to google this, i don't know a lot about ozone.

Hi Lila, I got a cheapy one similar but not exactly like this one I just found on ebay

Water Oil Air Purifier 2-in-1 Anion & Ozone Generator | eBay

mine seems to work just fine although I haven't used it a ton

Det,
Is it easy to use, and if you are washing veggies, does it get into the air? I don't want to breathe it.
