Hi all.
(Especially diabetes type 2)
With this new topic I just want to share my experience as a (Ex) diabetes type 2
with other diabetes type 2 or even very healthy members.
A few days ago, I went to get my blood sugar level measured.
I am at 7.1 which to me is high, but the doctor said it's within the norms.
4 to 7 is consider normal.
Then, I am 0.1 above what's consider as normal.
Six months ago, I was 6.3 and I want to get back to that number.
I would like to be at 6.0
therfore, I will readjust my diet, I am guilty of drifted a little with some small pieces of pies,
my reward for being a good and reasonnable diabetes type 2,
but I will cut on that.
Exercise wise, I walk an average of one hour a day and do some exercise.
I think the diet is more important than the exercise.
My weight is still stable at 60Kg or 132 lbs
I have stop completely my methaformin (Glucophage)
even if the doctor told me that I have to take the pills until I die.
I have found a family doctor (That's how it works now here in the province of Quebec.)
and my apointment is on January 18 - 2016, that's right 9 weeks from now
and I've been told that I am lucky to get one.
By the way, the -my doctor is a Vietnamese woman.
I will ask her for a complete check-up. ( :lol: )
My blood pressure is 122 on 72 (Not bad) I use to be 120 on 80
but I have to admit that I am these days a little stressed.
In my next post I will share with you what I eat every day.
Please feel free to post your experience, but please, please do not talk about Monsanto
or anything political, I don't want this topic to drift on something that will
make the AudioCircle police put us in jail. :lol:

Hi 2bigears.
When ever I am home (Apartment) my little Grace Mondo Internet radio is on
(Mainly or almost exclusively on 181.fm)
with or without my Sennheiser HD570
and all night long (Believe me or not) I listen to CJPX FM (Classical music)
on my little Sony portable.
So... I have plenty of relaxing musical medecine.
By the way, if a few cool ones means beer,
well, I never drink that stuff. Never did, never will.
However, I drink plenty of hot green tea and some Lipton
tea with Stevia and Amlmond-Cocoa milk unsweetened.

Hi all diabetes type two or nut not !
Something about food to keep the nut ball rolling.
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=131631)
Going around town (Montreal that is) for the last six months,
I have noticed and mentally recorded that 75% of people are over weight.
25% are really, really obese to a point that they huff and puff, looking for their breath
and are having difficulty to walk.
That's terrible, it's not improving, it's worsening...
People don't realize that their obese condition is not to their benefit on a long term basis.

Hi all,
when I was on planet Vietnam I order from Amazon two bottles of Pure Stevia powder.
That was about two years ago and I am now running low on the wonderfull powder.
Hoever, this time I am wondering if I should try the Stevia in liquid form.
Since that white powder is not very expensive, I might order one or two bottle of the liquid stuff,
just to taste and also to see if the liquid is more convenient to use than the powder ?
Anyone of you diabetes type 2 have tried the liquid form ???

I think you would use nothing to sweet coffee etc
What do you think? I use nothing;

Hi FullRangeMan,
I don't - never dring coffee,
I only drink Lipton tea with Stevia and almond - cocnut milk
and of course green tea without anything else in it.

Lipton and Stevia are bad to your heath.

Hi (Again) all.
Here are a few types of Stevia.
(So many brands and type, there's 14 pages on Amazon website.)
Very difficult to choose and even if someone recommend me something he likes
that perticular brand or kind,
does not mean I will like it.
I remember an AudioCircle member mentionned that the Stevia had a bitter taste,
which I did not find.
Here are a few:
''NOW'' organic Stevia extract 2fl. oz bottle 13.89CND$
''NOW FOODS'' Stevia liquid extract 2 fl. oz bottle 15.58CND$
''NOW FOODS'' better Stevia original liquid extract 8fl.oz bottle Pack of 2 42.06CND$
Stevia liquid sweet drops - Stevia select natural sweetener extract from sweet leaf 2fl.oz bottle 15.60CND$
Some of them have alcool, which I don't think it's good ??? :scratch:
Any comment and-or suggestions ?

Guy 13, you can use Trehalose as a sweetener. It will never raise blood sugar levels because you can't digest more than maybe 10 calories of it, and it's not bad for in any way shape or form. It is entirely unlike fake sugars, sugar alcohols, etc.
The only other alternative is Agave but it has a good amount of Fructose, which is harder on the liver so someone with diabetes may desire to be more cautious.
Also I'd be willing to bet Lipton may have benefits, but other brands of tea will have considerably more. Specifically Sencha, Kukicha ("twig tea"), and Bancha varieties of green are good for you. Lipton would be considered low quality tea, btw. Poorly produced anything can be grown in bad soil with pesticides. It's nice to buy tea from companies that take pride in their product instead of their returns.
-
Green Tea not good if you have tinitus or labyrinthitis.
Its cafeine are strong and affect the inner ear.
So I had to quit it.
-
I'm actually not big on lots of green tea personally, due to caffeine as well. It doesn't have a lot so a cup is ok I suppose, but more than that bothers me a bit. However swiss decaf coffee only makes me feel good (like taking magic feel good pills); it's got less caffeine than green tea but quiet a bit. In fact I'd have to consume about 8-17 cups of swiss decaf to get one cup of green tea.
FullRangeMan, have you done a 23&Me ? I found out my genetics basically make it so I process caffeine VERY slowly. Ironically I'm a powerhouse for alcohol which is funny because the site that gave these results says that's a negative genetic trait because it can lead to alcoholism :duh: .

No I have dont, I must be expensive here.
And at this age I wont miss it.

Here? It cost me $99 - the real pain was waiting a couple months.

Hi FullRangeMan,
the green tea I drink is from planet Vietnam, it's called Oolong
and I still have plenty, therefore no need to buy more locally here in Montreal.

Hi Folsom.
The items you mention above are not always easy to find.
I am aware that the Lipton tea is not the best,
but it's better than soft drink or the same.
I also drink one large cup a day of Oolong green tea
with nothing else in it.
Stevia is from natural plant and got near zero calorie.
I am open to anything different, better and-or safer for the health,
but I have to do lots of reading and comparaision to know what best.
If anyone wants to find some down sides of a product,
it's always possible, there are not perfect products.
Guy 13

I have no problem with that !
The caffeine is a lot less in tea,
than it is in coffee.
I cannot drink coffee because it makes me nervous and shaking...

I will have to see if I can get that swiss decaf coffee to see how it taste and the see if it makes me nervous...
I would restrict myself to one cup a day or even less.

Stevia is plant based, but still has the same effect as artificial sweeteners - tricking the body into thinking it's receiving sugar while clearing glucose from the bloodstream resulting in a drop in blood sugar. This can result in the body trying to create glucose in other organs and tissue.
Just as in studies with artificial sweeteners, these hypoglycemic episodes have been found to induce stress on adrenal glands, thyroid and suppress the immune system. Use Stevia as you see fit, but it's really not that much different than artificial sweeteners and certainly isn't the panacea that industry hype would have you believe.

Hi Steve,
O.K. then, what would you recommend that would be better than Stevia with zero calorie,
no side effect, from natural source ?

$99 for 23&Me
Swiss decaf is style, not from swiss.
Trehalose availability, I dunno.

The decaf coffee we have here have a different taste than the regular coffee also more expensive, I prefer the usual indeed.
Also do not like the coffee with high temperature roasting called strong and extra strong, the taste is not good and cause me a lot of cramping.

Where do you live FullRangeMan?

I sorry to say I live in Brasil,
a comunist country since 2003
and customs duties of 100%.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers'_Party_%28Brazil%29
-
Ah,
I don't disagree totally with a customs charge since it probably keeps some jobs there, however manufacturers I would think would get a break to a degree. It's hard to make all the products a country needs without some trade.
You can probably get Yerba Mate cheap, right? I like it but it's a mixed bag for me it seems. It isn't actually caffeinated about it makes ones adrenals function higher, which would be ok unless they crash.

OK, erva mate have much caffeine.

Hi all,
last week I took my epn and note book with me to the grocery store
(Walmart, Adonis, Jean-Talon public market...)
and try to see if you only buy bio food how much more
it would cost to do the weekly grocery ?
Well, meat, fish, poultry products, dairy products, vegeatbles and fruits
as an average it almost - close to double the price of regular (Chemically treated) food.
Running from one place to the other, looking for specials - promotion (Rarely on bio food)
it could add up to maybe around 50% more than regular food.
Now, being on a budget and trying to eat as much as possible healthy,
I think it's a good way to stay healthy and maybe even live longer.
Guy 13
By the way, I am off methaformin (Glucophage) and I am on my way to get back to normal
(Around 6%) with my blood sugar.

How much do you par for a dozen of red eggs big size?
-
How much do you par for a dozen of red eggs big size?
Hi FullRangeMan,
Big size is 4.18CND$ and bia are 6.58CND$
Regular banana are 0.67CND$ and bio are 0.97CND$
Regular peanut butter jar is 3.60CND and all natural peanut butter is 6.87CND$
So you can see with those prices, that to eat bio and-or natural you have to be rich.
Guy 13

Hmm here these eggs I mention are under 2USD per dozen.
Banana $1 or 1.5USD /kg, Tetrapack milk $0.5L
Vegetable also inexpensive;

Hi all,
today I met a man with Diabetes type 2
and he told me that is blood sugar is at 11.0%
which is high and he knows it,
but rely more of less on his doctor to cure his diabetes.
Since his blood sugar level is higher from his last check-up
his doctor increase his dose of metaphormine from
500mg three times a day to 750mg 3X a day.
I told him that wasn't to solution to his diabetes problem.
I told him first to quit the white bread and the muffins which he eat
on an industrial level and many other fast food stuff...
He told me it won't be easy.
I told him he need will if he don't want things - his health to worsen.
He's 40 years old, weight 105Kg and he's 5'8''
Guy 13
I've shared wih him my experience and success,
now, if he want's to do it his own way,
it's up to him, but he will have to accept the consequences.

Down the glucose from the person solves the problem?
-
Down the glucose from the person solves the problem?
Hi FullRangeMan,
yes, that's obvious, the glucose (Blood sugar) must go down,
but for many diabetes type 2 they don't really know how to do it
or they think pill will solve everything.
75% diet and 25% exercise...
I understand it's not easy for everyone.
For me, it was fairly easy and spread over one year.
By the way, did I mention that I was off completely of metaformin medication ?
Guy 13

I asked why here there is a medicinal tea that do it.
It very low cost, let me know if you need it.

Hi FullRangeMan,
medicinal tea won't do it alone,
you need to have some kind of lower calories diet.

So you know this tea?
I will say you it do it indeed and it is very expensive.
I will charge you 100 bucks per 100g envelope.

An up-date to the above.
Yesterday I saw that man eating white rice with a chicken leg and...
Well that's it, that was his meal !
And if that was enough, he had coffee and muffin for breakfast.
Obviously, that man is not taken his health condition seriously
and only rely on pills to lower his blood sugar
and I must say from experience:
It will not work.
But I give up on him and I let him do what he wants,
after all it's his health not mine.
I did share with him my experience...

Hi Folsom,
well, I have to admit that you've go a point there.
Yes, directly or undirectly, we all pay for that guy bad eating habits.
I don't know him very well,
but according to our last talk on how to improve his blood sugar level,
as per my successful experience,
he did not seems to care too much
or if he cares, he doesn't look like someone to be in a hurry to change
his eating habit.
I might give him a little (Gentle, none provocative) speach, discussion
to make him realize that what he's doing is not the right thing to do
if he cares about his future health.
Right now he's young and srong, but if he continue it won't last for ever...
Eventually, he will run into health complications.

Hi all,
today it was that time again !
I ran out of my spuper special vegie etc... soup.
I made a big batch that should last me around 2 weeks
at the rate of two bowls a day.
Now, this is what I have put into it:
(Go get a coffee and find a good chair, this might be long...)
The following are steamed:
Betts, carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, brocoli, cali flower.
Now, boilled:
Rotini pasta, ground beef and pork.
Raw items:
Onions, shallots, red kidney beans, lentils, red peppers,
pacific red wild salmon
and salt. pepper, V8, apple cider vinegar.
Is that enough for you ?
How does it taste ? ? ?
Very good, to me anyway, I like that kind of mix.
I've been eating that stuff for about 5 months now
and I am still alive, surprising isn't it ?
Of course I also eat other stuff, like hard boiled egg, celeri,
8 whole grain bread mix, natural peanut butter, butter, plain natural yogourt
and of course apple and banana.
I dring Lipton and green tea and half a glass of pure apple juice,
some times with olive oil and lemon.
That's a lot of good stuff for the body.
Of course that a lot, but does not mean I eat all that in large quantities...
I am reasonnable in my portions.
Bon appétit.

I also was making a big pot of food to last a week, but after a while I realized that after three days the food losing the nutrients and not fed more.
Too bad.
-
Hi FullRangeMan,
many things can make the food (Vegetables and fruits...) loose it's nutriments.
Food not being fresh, cooking - heating food (Too much)
and keeping it in the refrigirator for too long.
What I do is:
When I can I eat raw, like oinion, shallots, red pepper...
I also steam vegetables, not boiled... Not over cooked.
I freeze them until ready to be eaten,
which is a maximum of 2 weeks.
I try to keep as much as I can all the nutriments...
That's better than eating fast food.

Farm raised Atlantic salmon with a gene for faster growth from another fish. It's still a salmon. The initial splicing was done in Canada and has been awaiting approval for market sales for years while the science guys did tests to make sure it was still a salmon. Similar to audiophiles constantly updating crossover parts to get a cleaner, faster, sound without needing to change all the components. Would I eat the salmon, ya, if I can't get wild caught Pacific salmon.

Product of USA,
That's what's writen on the thin can.
4.29CND$ for a 418g can at Walmart.
For the same price,
that's a three times bigger can than a tuna can.
Before starting eating the GMO fish,
I will let the scientifics people do more research,
they might find something in the futuree,
it did happen in the past that something that was declared safe
for human consumpion was not...

Hi londonbarn,
I am almost sure that you don't know that,
but I am a French Canadian and my mother language is French.
I've learned English all by myself and I know it shows.
There might be Vietnamese writing - speaking better English thatn me,
but I am sure they are rare,
spending 20 years in Vietnam and talking to thousands of Vietnamese
at the English Speaking Club and other Vitnamese at many , many seminars I gave.
So please be tollerant...
Thanks for your comments and have a nice day.

Guy 13,
I understand that English is a second language and that you're doing the best you can - but why wouldn't you at least use the built in Spell Check?
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=132421)
Sure, there are words it doesn't know (GMO), people and places it doesn't know, and it doesn't check for grammar and context (using there for their, too for to, etc.), but it certainly would clean up more than a few misspellings.
Just on this page alone it would find thatn, Vitnamese, tollerant, writen, scientifics, futuree, consumpion, woud, refrigirator, oinion, spuper, betts, brocoli, cali flower, boilled, celeri, yogourt, dring, reasonnable, undirectly, speach, srong, and jeoperdize, ..........
.......... and offer to change them to that, Vietnamese, tolerant, written, scientific, future, consumption, would, refrigerator, onion, super (or supper?), beets, broccoli, cauliflower, boiled, celery, yogurt, drink, reasonable, indirectly, speech, strong and jeopardize!
Congratulations on speaking a second language better than myself, but don't be lazy and instead take advantage of this great tool right in front of you! ;)

Hi all,
this morning I went to IKEA and bought a useful accessory
for the making of my green tea.
I will show a picture in my next post.
Now, this afternoon I am staying home and do some cooking.
I will do a batch of steel cut slow cooking oat meal.
I will add some Stevia powder
and some cinnamon and cocoa powder
to give some color and taste to my special oat meal brew.
I will make about a dozen serving and freeze it for future consomption.

Hi all,

He still eat fast food and pastries
and he more or less told me that his doctor is talking care of his diabetes
by increasing his pills strenght...
He tinks that's the solution.
Pills solve everything... :duh:
Well, I can't say I did not try to help him.
He will probably know he's doing wrong when it will be too late... :cry:

I use a colander to filter tea, $50cents.
(http://www.utilplast.com.br/arquivos/ids/206166)
I agree. For brewing whole leaf tea, I've not found anything that functions better than a stainless steel sauce pan. You can maintain the right brew temperature easier, the leaf has the greatest possible room to expand while brewing, and it's easy to strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer when done. I've got a rather large collection of tea pots collecting dust now :lol:

HiPhoton46,
thanks for your comment.
I am not sure if that strainer will work for me, but what the heck,
for only 0.50$ what do have I to loose other than 0.50$ and a few minutes
trying it.
How do you make your tea dark, I like the leaves to soak in hot water
for a few minutes ???

Personally I'd look into one of these for tea:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003KYSLNQ?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B003KYSLNQ&linkCode=xm2&tag=f05f-20
I can't see maintaining 180 or 190 or 175 degrees in a saucepan. At least not on the cooktop I have.

Hi ctviggen,
thanks for the link.
Look like a nice products,
however, I use the old whisle non electric stainless steel kettle.
After boiling, I let it cool down then poar it in the tea pot.
I paid 10 CND$ for it, can't get cheaper than that !

I've not seen that product, looks interesting. One more thing to make room for on the counter top though (like I need another kitchen gadget - not :lol: ) You're right about not being able to maintain a 175-190 temp on the stovetop. I use a stainless steel lined pot clad to a heavy thick metal bottom. After I get the water up to brew temp, I throw the tea in, put the pot's lid on and then plop it on a thick silicone mat to hold in the heat as best one can. It definitely holds heat better than any ceramic teapot I've ever used, even if you preheat the pot with some boiling water first.

Hi all,

I come back with the subject of that guy with diabetes type 2 (11.5%)
that want to go the easy way with pills.
I saw him today having lunch with a big plate of white rice and maybe only 10%

In addition, I also learned that he is an heavy smoker...

Hi all diabetic type 2
and health concerned AudioCircle members.
(According to Google translate it's '' diabetic '' and not diabetes or diabetese ???)
Today I have ordered from Amazon (So easy with them)
some powdered and liquid Stevia (0 calorie sugar substitute)
I use it daily with my yogurt and tea (Lipton that is)
green tea is raw, nature, plain....
I add to my Lipton tea some unsweetened almond - coconut milk
and of course, some Stevia.
With my yogurt, I add some Stevia and cinnanmon - cocoa unsweetened powder.
Below pictures of the products mentionned above.

Hi all diabetic type 2
and other interested in healthy habits.
I just got via parcel post from Amazon the liquid Better Stevia Organic
that I have order only a week ago.
(Despite the snow strom that is...)
I did not wated one second, ran to the kitchen
and made myself some (Lipton) tea
with one drop of liquid Stevia.
Took a sip, no, added one more drop, still coud not taste it,
added a total of 5 drops, I could taste it, but only a little,
no where near what I got from my powedered Stevia.
So... I had to put a total of 10 drops to get the equivalent taste
of the powdered Stevia.
Not a good start with that new Stevia liquid version.
Before sharing with you my final thought,
I will wait until I have almost finish the bottle,
just to make sure.
I have also ordered at the same time, two bottles of the powder Stevia
which are due to arrive middle of January.
I will then compare the liquid vs the powder
and share with you my findings (If you are interested, of course).
Guy 13
After I find out which one is better (To the taste) and more convenient to use,
I will order enough bottle to last me for a few years,
because I might be on planet Vietnam for a few years waiting for my wife's sponsering
by the Canadian Immigration.

Since the 1980s I dont use sugar or any other sweeter drug.

Hi FullRangeMan,
my sweetener is an all natural product,
nothing artificial in it
and my boxed milk
is unsweetened almond - coconut milk.
The above is for my lipton tea.
I also drink every day green tea (Oolong) without sweetener or milk.
Just wanted to let you know about what and how I drink my tea.

Hi FullRangeMan,
I only add a little almond-coconut milk to my Lipton tea
just enough to make it sweeter
and some almond-coconut milk to my Cheerios cereals
and that's it !
Maybe not more than a small glass of almond-coconut milk daily.
Guy 13

Hi all,
today as usual at lunch time, I had the usual Lipton tea with almond - coconut milk
with my new bottle of liquid Organic Stevia.
I mentionned last time that I had to put 10 drops of Stevia
in order to get the sweetness I was use to with my powdered Stevia.
Well today I shooke (Shake) the little bottle and then pour five (05) drops
of Stevia and guess what ?
It tatsed good, just like I was use to.
Tomorrow, I will try to cut it down to three and see...
That's good news for me, the bottle will last longer.
Guy 13
I did a follow-up with Amazon on my two bottles of powder Stevia
and they are on the way, but they will arrive only around the 16th of January,
maybe they sent them via snail...

I don't know how can intelligent people can fall into that trap ????
I am sure the store was not stuck with unsold sugar bags,
like they say: Ther's a sucker born every minute... :lol:
Maybe it would be worth trying,

Hi all,
for a few days now I've been using my new bottle of liquid Stevia
and I must say that it really taste different from my previous
power Stevia.
It's not bad tasting, but it's not as good.
I'm anxious to get the powder Stevia that are on the way via snail transport,
due to arrive on the 16th of January.
One other thing, it takes more than one drop to taste sweet in both tea and yogurt.
Would I recommend the Organic liquid Stevia ????
Humm... I don't think so !
But that's me.

Hi all,
just got the two Better Stevia Certified Organic bottles today.
That was fast, because according to Amazon, I was supposed to get them around the 16th,
that's almost 10 days ahead... Won't complain.
The taste test will be tomorrow at lunch time, that means
I will share with you the result tomorrow.
Very anxious, like a kid ib Christmas morning...

Hi (Again) all,
I could not resist and I just went to make a cup of Lipton tea.
Probably this tasting test won't be valid, because many things where changed.
First, I've used bottled purified water.
Second, the previous Lipton tea bags were purchased from Vietnam
(Not sure if the tea leaves themselves are from Vietnam ???)
I've pour in the suggested quantity from the bottle's instruction.
It taste good, but not the same as my previous Stevia bottle,
however, Ilike the taste.
Tomorrow I will try again with tap water and see,
in the past I've tried
switching from tap water to bottled purified water
and I did notice a slight difference in taste, but the two type of water are good.
Anyway, for now I don't regret my powerdered Stevia.
Stay tuned, more tomorrow.
Guy 13
-
Today I had one more time my Lipton tea with a tiny spoon
of my new bottle of Better Stevia organic
and even if it does not taste bad (Just O.K.),
I can now confirm that is not as good as the previous
bottle of Pure Stevia.
Well, I will have to get use to it, because I have two bottles,
so a supply for the next one or two years...
Well, even if it's not as good as what I was expecting,
at least it has zero calorie and that, is good ! :thumb:

Hi all,
this morning I was at WalMart looking for anything on sales,
something like 50% discount on all natural Kraft peanut butter
or my all natural Astro yogurt...
I saw one man and one woman that were really oversize, obese, big, fat
or what ever you want to call them...
Anyway, I had a quick look in their shopping kart
and what do you think I saw ???
Six pack of Coke, sugury fruit beverage, potato chips
and many other junk food which was about
50% of what they had in their shopping kart...
No wonder they were fat to the point that the man had difficulty walking
and the woman was in one of those small electrical kart.

Hi all,
today, I went to a place called :
'' Aliments MERCI ''.
It's a warehouse with a huge selection of bio and natural food in bulk.
I found many items that other places could not offer,
like all natural peanut butter,
oat meal (25Kg bag) bio or not.
3 liters olive oil, bio or not and much, much more.
That place is heaven for diabetic type two like me
or anyone caring for his health.
Of course, prices are good because of bulk and large bags.
I will go back to order stuff that I cannot find on planet Vietnam,
I will get all that and other stuff sent overthere via sea cargo,
it will take 4 to 6 weeks, but a lot cheaper than air cargo.

Hi all,
today (Despite the siberian cold) I went to a warehouse-store called '' Aliments Merci ''
and ask for prices on dried food stuff that I want to bring with me
(More like ship via sea cargo) on planet Vietnam.
I will get prices (A quote) in a few days and share with you those prices
to give you an idea what food cost here in Canada (Montreal city).
I also bought some samples of Stevia, but the raw product.
The picture of it look like it's brown, but in reality it's green, green like grass
and you know what ? It taste like grass in my Lipton tea.
Terrible taste, the grass like taste is more
pronounce that the sweetness of sugar it's supposed to taste.
I am not sure what I will do with it, I hate to throw it in the waste can...
When I saw the green color of that raw Stevia, I was skepticle,
that's why I bought only a small quantity and I am glad I did.
I also posted a picture of the white Stevia I bought from Amazon,
the power is less coarse that the raw Stevia, much finer.
I also bought a bag of Cheerios like cereal that are full grain bio cereal.
Does not taste bad, but it's hard as rock,
even if you let them soak in milk for 15 minutes...
Another product, that I won't buy again.
Like they say:
First time - last time.
Almost forgot, they gabe me (Again) a small sample of all natural peanut butter,
just enough to cover five slice of bread, but it's free and it taste good.

For the blood test, Xrays and eyes examination

that's all free, we don't pay a cent.

Hi all,
this morning went to a nearby hospital (Walked 5 blocks) for my blood test
and it was a surprise to me, when they also asked for urine, lots of it,
one little bottle and one seringue,
I almost ran out of the precious yellow liquid.
Lots of people in the blood test department,
lots of older people, older than me...
Also, lots of people from Italian origin, the district where I live now
is called '' The little Italy '' and that's the reason for that !
I will find out about the results only when I see my family doctor in March.
Tomorrow I go to the clinic for an Xray to check if I suffer from Ostéoporoses.
(Sorry, not sure about the spelling...)
My doctor recommended that xray for all patients over 60 years old.
Stay tune, more to come...

Hi all,
today I went again to the store - warehouse called " Aliments Merci "

First, I bought the (Bio) oat meal,

than the other brand I usually buy from Walmart.

and tasted like green... grass...
This time I bought the Stevia in liquid form and
it's concentrated, that's what's marked on the bottle
and now after trying it, I know it's really concentrated
and it's cheaper in price to everything I bought previously from Amazon.

I don't think I will buy the bio type, because they are double the price of the regular one
but they are grown here and they say they are not GMO.

In reference to reply # 120 on oat flakes.
This afternoon I cook them the same way I do with the other (Smaller) steel cut oat meal.
I use a a double pan, bottom with boiling water and top with the oat meal.
I always use almond-coconut milk blend unsweetened,
never water or plain milk.
I always add some Stevia and a mix of 50-50 cinnamon-cocoa powder,
one full tea spoon that is.
Cook for about 30 minutes and voila,
but this time it was much more tasty.
The texture look smoother despite the much bigger flakes.
The taste remind me the oat meal my grand-mother use to make me when I visited her.
That's the kind I will buy in extra large quantity (2X25Kg bags) to bring with me when I return
on planet Vietnam, because there, they don't have the slithest idea what is oat meal, however,
they know what rice and instant noodle are... :lol:

Guy13 Iam a beginner in natural food, but I agree with some sites that says alkalize the food is the way against cancer and better overall health.
There is a cancer hospital in Japan that treats cancer just with water.
Its natural water and corrected in some parameters for better quality:
pH
RedOx
tension
electrical conductivity

Hi all,
I am sure you remember about the green raw powder Stevia
that tasted like grass ?
Well today I've tried it in my plain natural yogurt.
I had to put several small tea spoon of it to make the yogurt taste sweet,
I does taste a little grassy, but what the heck,
I don't want to trow away that green Stevia stuff, I paid for it, I did not get it free...
So, slowly, I will get rid of it by using it
and that will be the last time I will buy that green stuff for the cow... :lol:
(You know: Green grass.... :lol:)
Next week I will go again to the warehouse - store (Aliments Merci)
to get a sample of the white powder Stevia
that's called Le Natural.
It's supposed to be a one to one, meaning,
it's equivalent to one spoon of sugar for one spoon of Stevia
but with almost zero calorie.
All the kind and makes of Stevia on Amazon is quite expensive...
Guy 13
The Stevia mentionned above contain Inulin,
have a look at the link to see what it is.

Hi all,
this morning it's -4C and I walked (At a fast pace) one hour.

Hi all,
I finally got my popcorn popper from Amazon.ca.
Cuisinart CPM100C.
First impression, I am surprised, it's very light weight.
Second surprise impression the built-in blower is a little noisy
and the heat coming out of the unit is surprisingly hot and a lot of it,
especially if you are standing right in front of the unit.
It draws 1500 watts.
I pourred in a cup (Supplied) of corn in the machine.
(The cup is supplied, not the popcorn... Of course...)
They say in the instruction manual not to put more than a cup of corn
otherwise the popcorn will fly all over the place and now I believe them
because I only put the cup 80% full and it did fly all over the place.
At first when start heating, about half a dozen of unpopped corn came out
and that's because the built fan is too very powerful.
It's very fast at 2 - 3 minutes, the whole process is completed before 5 minutes.
Since it uses only hot air, it's very clean, when completed, just wipe the inside with a damp cloth.
I am satisfied with my purchase.
I added to the popcorn some sea salt, but since the popcorn is not oily
the salt does not stick well to it,
so you need more or you have to shake the whole thing in somekind of closed container.
The taste is good, nothing like the cinema stuff,
but I am sure much more healthy.

Hi all,
today I bought at Walamrt a few tubes of tooth paste.
ARM & HAMMER band.
Extra Whitening Advance White type.
Below is the list of the products used to make that tooth paste
that I thought had more natural ingredients than it's competitors
like Colgate and the same...
(To me ARM & HAMMER main ingredient was supposed to be (Only) sodium bicarbonate,
but look like I was wrong.)
Aqua, aroma, cellulose gum, glycerin, silica, sodium bicarbonate (So far, not too bad...)
now it gets more scary...
sodium lauroylsarcosinate, sodium lauryl sulfate,
then these:
sodium saccharin, sorbitol
and these really scary names, directly from a Frenkeinstein movie
tetrasodium pyrophosphate, titanium dioxide,
yes, like the metal use on the space shuttle....
My God, that stuff sure look scary and I will put all those ingredients in my mouth
and maybe swallow a little...
According to Wikipedia descrition, they are all safe... :scratch:
I did not check other brand names, but I am sure their ingredients are as scary
as the ones in ARM & HAMMER. :(

Hi all.
For now, I don't have much to say, write and post,
but in a few days I will get some more Stevia
that is not concentrated,
it's 1 spoon of Stevia equal 1 spoon of sugar,
but with near zero calories.
I will also buy soon raw bio honey to try in hot water,
I read somewhere that it's very good for the body.
To be taken prior to eat breakfast...
Stay tuned, don't go away, come back often,
more to come.

Hi all,
I am trying to find the best tasting Stevia.
My first trial was with the KAL Pure Stevia with maltodextrin.
I needed only a small scoop (Supplied) to taste very, very sweet.
Since it contain maltodextrin and according to my searches
on the Internet it not by or not good depending of who comments,
I am not sure if on a long term it will be good for my health.
There are some types (Different process) of maltodextrin that are better than other,
but the problem is that the label on the bottle don't tell much...
I just bought a 250g bottle of Stevia (See below) and with it's One to One ratio
I am afraid that it wont last me long, since it's one spoon of Stevia
to taste like one spoon of regular sugar.
The store '' Aliments MERCI " sell it for 17.99 CND$
which is much cheaper than what Amazon.ca sell it for.
The taste is O.K. but still not like my KAL Pure Stevia.
So now... ??? I will still keep looking.

Hi all,
up to now
or for the past three years I've tried five different makes - types of Stevia
in liquid and powder form
and the best tasting one was the Kal brand powder Stevia
with the added ingredient (Filler) called Maltodextrin.
It was the one that really added sweetness to my tea and yogurt
and required only a very small quantity.
Unfortunately, maltodextrin seem to be not to good for the human body
according to many articles found on the Internet.
I am looking for a different brand - type of Stevia that taste
as sweet as the KAL brand and does not cost a fortune.

Hi (Again) all,
I just finish lunch and made myself the usual daily Lipton tea with Stevia.
This time I used the powder Stevia One to One.
(One tea spoon of Stevia equal one tea spoon of sugar, less the caliries.)
I must say the tea spoon was full, overloaded
and this time I could taste some sweetness,
not as much-good as my former KAL stevia (With maltodextrin)
but almost as good.
But at that rate, the 500gr - 17 CND bottle won't last long... :(

Hi all,
I wanted to see with my bottle of NOW brand,
Better Stevia Organic Extract powder
if I use more than what they recommended
and with a small tea spoon full, to my surprise,
it tasted good, exactly the way I like it.
So now, I new to find a (new) supplier other than Amazon
with the lowest possible price.
I've noticed that on many items,
Amazon don't have the lowest prices.
This morning I spoke with '' Aliments MERCI '' here in Montreal
and he will try to get me some at the price I want to pay.
I am anxious to see what will come up with my request.

'' SHOCKING ! ''
:( :o :? :scratch:
Amazon.com (USA) sell the 1lb bottle
of NOW Foods Better Stevia Organic extract powder for:
58.99 USD
and
Amazon.ca sell exactly the same bottle for
314.40 CND$
Yes, no typing error !
Did I see correctly
or do I need to renew my reading glasses ????
I understand that the Canadian Dollar is about 30% lower than the USD
and then custom tax, maybe 25 - 45% but still...
We are talking about more than five (05) time the price.
So, what do you think ?
I will ask my wife's nephew in Seattle to buy for me
and to give to someone going on planet Vietnam
when I am back in a few months.

The second one about cholesterol is of great interest to me.
I had my body cholesterol level checked many times in the past years

By the way, I eat one hard boiled egg a day...
Because it's a good source of protein and it taste good to me.

Hi FullRangeMan,
the list of ingredients mentionned was taken from a Yahoo article
and is for any country.
The humidity is worst than heat, of course a combination of the two
being too high is even worst.
Bread has never been a type of food with a long life...
Another factor to consider is sun light and of course
everything should be hermetically sealed
for longer conservation time.

Hi all,
this morning I went to my appointment with the urologist.
He says he's got to operate me for my hernia.
I asked him why I've got that ?
Well, it happens often when you get old, that was his answer.
I asked him if my daily one hour walk and 15 minutes stretching exercises
contributed to the developpment of my hernia.
He said it might be a factor, but not always the reason.
He will operate me on March the 16th, he will do it himself.
I asked him if I will be under local or general anesthesia.
He says at my age (68) it's better to operate under general anesthesia.
They operate via the belly button and install some kind of a net, screen....
Anyway, he says the whole thing will only last 15 minutes
and right after the operation I can walk out of the hospital, :o
anyway, that's what he says, will see...
Guy 13

I will cut on cereals and the same.
My bad cholesteral is a little high, just a little,
therefore I will cut on butter and the same...
Soooooo.... No too bad after all,
many people have bigger problem(s) than me

Nordkapp is Norwegian for North Cape. It is a small Town in the northern most cape of Norway. It is also the name of the sea kayak I paddle. Made by Valley Sea Kayaks out of England, it was the first kayak to survey this area on a very long expedition back in the 70s if I am correct. So that's it.

Hi there,
Yes, I've survived to my hernia operation.
It was a very, very long day.
Got up at 5am, got to the hospital at 7.15am with an empty belly
by the time I went thru all the pre-admission tests and was laying flat
on the operation table, it was noon.
Someone in the operation room told me that I look like Putin the Russia leader,
that's almost like an insult to me,
I did prefer when they tell me that I look like a Vietnamese. :lol:
I woke up around quarter to two and the first thing I saw
was on the ceiling a frame with blue back ground and some white couds,
I thought I had pass away and I was in heaven.
I was very comfortable and hot, but not sweating.
I've noticed that they had an hot air heater with a 3'' pipe stuck under my bedsheets.
(My past experience with the freezing to death in the wakeroom was horrible,
but not this time.)
Anyway, after about two hours, they move me from heaven to my room.
The pain was very tolérable, no real annoyance.
My only problem, is that I was hungry, did not eat anything for almost 18 hours,
my last meal was at 6pm the night before,
so they gave me a little cup of apple jam, a small glass of cranberry juice and four small,
read microscopic cookies, a snack typical from many hospitals.
Anyway, they gave me my discharge (?) I got out of the hospital at 9pm and got home at 9.30pm
and had a half decent meal around then 10pm
then jumped in my bed around 10pm and slept nonstop until 5am this morning.
This morning I still have some pain, but not enough to complain, but enough to mentionned it.
I have to go back for a check up next Monday.
Sooooo.... That's my hernia adventure, not a bad experience,
but an experience that I hope I won't have to do again.

Up date:
Saturday morning, three days after my hernia operation.
Went to bed at 10pm yesterday, for unknown reason,
(Other than the operation itself)
I was completely exhausted,
got up at 7.45am, that's almost 10 hours of health repairing sleep.
The pain is a lot less noticible, but still there.
Yesterday while taking my shower,
I discover under my arm pit one of those succion cup
for the electrocardiogram,
the nurse missed that one... :lol:
I am well enough to go spend the afternoon to the audio show
at Hotel Bonaventure, Montreal.

Hi all,
I saw something interesting on Facebook,
but could not download-it,
so here are the highlights of the article.
The little pell-off tab on fruits and vegetables
have code numbers and here are the meaning of them.
The code will tell the fruit or vegetable, country of origin, etc...
Organic : 5 gigit starting with a 9 Ex.: 94129
Conventional grown: 4 digit starting with a 4 Ex.: 4139
GMO: (Yes, the poison stuff....) 5 digit starting with an 8 Ex.: 84805
They say that the little sticker is edilable, eatable.

Hi all,
this morning I had my daily oat meal
(Sometimes organic when on promotion,
which is rarely the case.).
I make it with almond-coconut milk
(Which to me, is more like tasty distilled water
with a small percentage of almond-coconut juice.
Anyway, to me, it taste better than just tap water.
I also add some zero calory Stevia.
Of course the oat meal is of the slow cooking type.
(Good for diabetic type 2 like me.)
I also add one quarter apple (Gala type)
and half of a banana.
It's the best oat meal up to now.
When the price of strawberries or blueberries or the same is
more reasonnable I add them, but still keep in the apple and banana.
When I will be back on planet Vietnam,
I will add crushed cashew nuts, because on planet Vietnam
they almost pay you to eat them,
just a funny way of saying that they are really inexpensive.
A big bag for 2 USD, the same in Montreal would be around 20+USD.
Bon appétit !
Guy 13
It's so good, it's finger bowl liking good. :D

Nearly 60 Percent of the American Diet Is 'Ultra-Processed' Food
Step away from the chips, cold cuts, and frozen pizza. They may provide on-the-fly meals, but these fast forms of sustenance come with a hidden cost: They tend to be “ultra-processed foods," which are terrible for our bodies. And according to a recent study published in BMJ Open, we’re eating way too much of this junk food. In fact, more than half of Americans’ calories come from ultra-processed foods, the Mayo Clinic reports.
You may know that processed foods contain added sugar, salt, fat, oils, and other ingredients. Ultra-processed foods also contain components that you would typically never add during food prep—colors, sweeteners, emulsifiers, etc.
Examples of ultra-processed foods include sodas, packaged snacks and baked goods, candy and desserts, instant noodles and soups, and frozen meat products like chicken and fish nuggets. They’re tasty—but they also account for 90 percent of all the added sugars Americans eat. (Sugar is linked to a host of health problems, including obesity, elevated blood pressure, tooth decay, diabetes, and a risk of death from heart disease.)
In the new study, researchers from the University of São Paulo and Tufts University examined data from the 2009–2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for more than 9000 people and found that a staggering 57.9 percent of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. In contrast, minimally processed or unprocessed foods (meat, plants, eggs, pasta, etc.) accounted for 29.6 percent. Meanwhile, processed foods like canned soups or cheeses made up 9.4 percent of respondents’ caloric intake.
“Decreasing the consumption of ultra-processed foods may be an effective way of reducing the excessive added sugar intake in the U.S.,” said lead researcher Euridice Martinez Steele. By simply eliminating sodas and flavored fruit juices, pre-packaged foods, and pre-made meals from our diets, we can easily improve our health, she says.
In other words, stop relying on your office vending machine, and pack yourself a real lunch.

Over one in eight adults are now obese -- a ratio that has more than doubled since 1975 and will swell to one in five by 2025, a major survey reported Friday.
Of about five billion adults alive in 2014, 641 million were obese, the data showed -- and projected the number will balloon past 1.1 billion in just nine years.
The research warned of a looming crisis of "severe obesity" and disease brought on by high-fat, high-sugar diets causing blood pressure and cholesterol to rise.
"There will be health consequences of magnitudes that we do not know," author Majid Ezzati of Imperial College London told AFP.
The survey, published in The Lancet medical journal, claimed to be the most comprehensive of its kind conducted to date.
People are divided into healthy or unhealthy weight categories based on a universally-adopted measure dubbed Body Mass Index (BMI) -- a ratio of weight-to-height squared.
A healthy BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9.
One is considered underweight below 18.5, overweight from 25 up, and obese from 30 -- when the risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease and some cancers escalates massively.
With a BMI of 35 one is categorised as severely obese, and from 40 upward as morbidly so.
Among men globally, obesity tripled from 3.2 percent of the population in 1975 to 10.8 percent in 2014 (some 266 million), and among women from 6.4 percent to 14.9 percent (375 million), said the survey -- 12.9 percent combined.
This was equivalent to the average adult, 18 and older, being 1.5 kilos (3.3 pounds) heavier every decade.
"If the rate of obesity continues at this pace, by 2025 roughly a fifth of men (18 percent) and women (21 percent) will be obese," according to a statement by The Lancet.
More than six percent of men and nine percent of women will be severely obese.
- Weighty flip-flop -
The ratio of underweight people in the world declined at a slower rate than obesity grew, said the authors -- from about 13.8 percent in 1975 to 8.8 percent for men, and 14.6 percent to 9.7 percent for women.
"Over the past 40 years, we have changed from a world in which underweight prevalence was more than double that of obesity, to one in which more people are obese than underweight," said Ezzati.
At current rates, more women will be severely obese (a BMI of 35 or more) than underweight by 2025, and the world will miss its stated target of halting obesity at 2010 levels.
In 2014, the world's fattest people lived in the island nations of Polynesia and Micronesia, where 38 percent of men and more than half of women were obese, said the study.
Nearly a fifth of the world's obese adults (118 million) lived in six high-income countries -- the United States, Britain, Ireland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The US was home to one in four severely obese men and almost one in five severely obese women in the world.
- Surgery as a solution? -
At the other extreme, the paper said, Timor-Leste, Ethiopia and Eritrea had the lowest BMI numbers in the world, with averages as low as 20.1
More than a fifth of men in India, Bangladesh, Timor-Leste, Afghanistan, Eritrea and Ethiopia, and a quarter of women in Bangladesh and India, were underweight.
"The global focus on the obesity epidemic has largely overshadowed the persistence of underweight in some countries," the research paper said.
"To address this problem will require social and food policies that enhance food security in poor households, but also avoid overconsumption of processed carbohydrates and other unhealthy foods."
Like being underweight, severe and morbid obesity has many health risks.
"We can deal with some of these, like higher cholesterol or blood pressure, through medicines," said Ezzati.
"But for many others, including diabetes, we don't have effective treatment."
The paper says stomach-shrinking bariatric surgery may become the "most effective intervention for weight loss and disease prevention" as waistlines continue expanding.
The data was compiled from 1,698 studies involving 19.2 million adults from 186 countries which are home to 99 percent of the world's population.
Unlike earlier research, studies were only included if the participants' height and weight had been measured -- not self-reported.
The data did not include statistics on children and teenagers.

Hi ctviggen,

but I think your comment is to describe
my never ending complaints about myself, my life and my problems... :lol:
Guy 13
A soliloquy (from Latin solo "to oneself" + loquor "I talk") is a device often used in drama when a character speaks to himself or herself, relating thoughts and feelings, thereby also sharing them with the audience, giving off the illusion of being a series of unspoken reflections.[1] If other characters are present, they keep silent[2] and/or are disregarded by the speaker.[3]
The term soliloquy is distinct from a monologue or an aside: a monologue is a speech where one character addresses other characters; an aside is a (usually short) comment by one character towards the audience, though during the play it may seem like the character is addressing him or herself.
Soliloquies were frequently used in dramas but went out of fashion when drama shifted towards realism in the late 18th century.

If you look at the ingredients on a package of gummy bears — even organic ones — you'll see expected things like corn or brown rice syrup and sugar. But you'll also see something called gelatin. Seems innocent enough, but its source might surprise you. Gelatin is a yellowish, odorless, and nearly tasteless substance that is made by prolonged boiling of skin, cartilage, and bones from animals. It's made primarily from the stuff meat industries have left over — we're talking about pork skins, horns, and cattle bones. Ugh.
I guess if you're into the philosophy of using the whole animal, you'll be psyched about this. Plus gelatin contains 18 amino acids, so it does offer some nutritional benefits. But if you're vegan, you'll definitely want to skip the chewy candies and your great-aunt's Jell-O mold — it's made with gelatin, too. This animal-derived ingredient can also be found in some vitamins and medications, marshmallows (Peeps included), cheeses, yogurts, soups, salad dressings, jams and jellies, fruit snacks, and canned hams. If this tidbit of info grosses you out, you'll want to pay closer attention to these products' food labels.

Ever wonder why it’s so hard to find organic versions of some of your favorite foods? It’s because we’re still not growing enough organics in America.
As demand for organic food soars, major retailers like Costco are unable to keep up. That’s because less than 1 percent of American farmland is dedicated to growing organic crops.
Growing more organics would not only make them more affordable and accessible for consumers, but would also play a huge role in protecting our health and environment.
Right now, too many of your tax dollars go to big, profitable agribusinesses that don’t need the help and to absentee owners who don’t live anywhere near a farm. Even billionaires are receiving farm subsidies from the federal government – money that could be much better spent if it were invested in more organic farming.

Having trouble sticking to that strict diet? Take a day off!
That’s right. A recent study from the Journal of Consumer Psychology suggests that “planned hedonic deviations”
– a.k.a. rewards in the form of pizza, doughnuts or whatever your pleasure –
are actually beneficial to long term goal success.
The only caveat: it has to be planned.
The study looked at two groups working towards a goal over a two-week period.
One group was allowed a cheat day while the other was not.
What they found that those who were able to deviate from their goal – even just momentarily –
were better at self-regulating their behaviour, felt more motivated
and overall experienced a more positive impact on their goal.
They then conducted a third study that involved the cheat days being planned
and not just at random, and the success rate was even better –
so no making excuses when you accidentally fall off the wagon.

While food companies frequently advertise their products as “natural,” it turns out no one really knows what that means. The word “natural” may conjure positive images of unprocessed foods, free of additives or artificial flavors, but there are no official rules governing what constitutes a natural product, and companies are free to use the “natural” label on almost anything. The FDA, concerned about the confusion the term is creating, is asking Americans to help them come up with an official definition.
Through May 10, anyone can send the FDA their thoughts on what the word “natural,” when applied to food labeling, should mean. The FDA hopes to gather public input on three main topics: Whether it is necessary to define “natural,” how the FDA should define “natural,” and how the FDA should determine the appropriate use of the term on food labels.
The FDA opened the question to Americans in November, after receiving three Citizen Petitions asking them to define the term on food labels. The agency hasn’t promised to create an official definition, though it seems clear they’re taking the idea into consideration.
With so many obscure ingredients in the foods we eat, and so little data about their origins, having an official definition for the word “natural” could provide people with a bit more information on what they’re consuming. Visit the FDA website to share your thoughts and ideas about what the term “natural” should mean.

Everyone farts, every day. But not all farts are the same. Some farts make no sound but are really stinky. Others are loud but don't smell. Some you can smell clear across the room, but others you can let out without anyone noticing. (Secret: I’m farting right now!)
The smell of your booty bomb depends on what you’ve been eating. Broccoli, cabbage, onions, eggs, and meat all contain a lot of sulfur, a chemical that helps give rotten eggs their stink. When your body digests, or breaks down, those foods, the teeny-tiny creatures in your gut called bacteria feast upon the proteins in the food that contain sulfur. This process creates smelly gases like methanethiol (METH-ain-THIGH-all). When those gases leave your body, they end up as pungent farts.
All smells are chemicals in the air that your nose can pick up. Farts are made up of chemicals like oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, methane, carbon, and the super villain of stinkiness: sulfur. (Sulfur is the reason that skunk spray smells so gross!) The more sulfur in your toots, the more likely they are to clear the room. You also swallow air as you eat or talk. Some of that comes out of your rear end too.
Let's talk about bacteria again. When you eat carbohydrates (CARB-oh-HIGH-drates) like potatoes, bread, and vegetables, your stomach doesn’t fully digest them. They pass into the small intestine and then the large intestine, which are really long tubes leading to your anus (where poop and farts come out). Bacteria break the carbohydrates into smaller pieces. That releases gases like hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Those gases don’t smell. But other bacteria in the gut take those odorless chemicals and make them into compounds (mixes of chemicals) that do smell. Hydrogen sulfide (HIGH-dro-jen SULL-fide) is the smelliest of the gases that might come out of your butt.

People Are So Upset At Quaker Oats That The Company Is Getting Sued
Something is definitely amiss in those oats.
By Megan Friedman
May 3, 2016
When you see "100% natural" on a label, what does that really mean? That's the center of a lawsuit against Quaker Oats, which claims that trace levels of a pesticide mean that the oatmeal isn't as all-natural as the company advertises.
The New York Times reports that testing found low levels of a chemical called glyphosate, found in the popular pesticide Roundup, in the oats. To be clear, this level is very low and completely safe to eat, according to federal regulators. But the lawsuit says that Quaker Oats is duping consumers, because the pesticide is not "natural."
Quaker responded to the lawsuit by saying they never purposely added glyphosate during manufacturing, but farmers may have added it before harvesting. The company thoroughly cleans the oats, but tiny trace amounts may have made it through the process. Health officials have labeled glyphosate as a "probable" carcinogen, so advocacy groups have targeted companies that use it in its products.
Tests were only conducted on Quaker Oats Quick 1-Minute products, but the suit, filed in New York and California, also covers Quaker Oats Old-Fashioned and Quaker Steel Cut Oats sweet Almond Mint, according to Fortune. The suit seeks refunds for customers, and also wants Quaker to be forced to either disclose the pesticide or change its farming techniques.

When you see "100% natural" on a label, what does that really mean?
Legally I don't believe it means anything. Assuming this is the US, the FDA has no definition as far as I know.
-
Studies have shown that a higher internal body temperature makes people more alert and awake—and that the opposite is also true. Just before drifting off, our bodies automatically cool down. But if sleeping still isn't coming naturally to you, you can actively lower your body temperature by keeping one foot cover-free. It works because feet (and hands) contain vascular structures designed to dissipate body heat. These blood vessels provide blood to the veins under the surface of the skin, and when the skin there is cooled down, the blood also gets colder. When that blood circulates, your core temperature lowers—and you're dreaming in no time.

Canadian regulator approves sale of fast-growing, genetically modified salmon.
The Canadian Press
May 20, 2016
This undated 2010 file handout photo provided by AquaBounty Technologies shows two same-age salmon, a genetically modified salmon, rear, and a non-genetically modified salmon, foreground. A genetically engineered salmon has been approved for sale for consumption by humans and livestock feed by Canadian food regulators. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP Photo/AquaBounty Technologies NO SALES

OTTAWA - Canadian grocery stores have received the regulatory green light to begin selling fast-growing, genetically modified salmon — the first such species to gain such approval from federal agencies.
Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced Thursday they had completed a scientific review of AquAdvantage's salmon and it has passed the final regulatory hurdle for the farmed fish.
The fish was developed by U.S.-based biotechnology firm AquaBounty Technologies Inc. to promote rapid growth of the fish during early life, using a growth hormone gene from the Chinook salmon in an Atlantic salmon.
The company has one facility in Canada, in Bay Fortune, P.E.I., and a production centre in Panama.
Dave Conley, a spokesman for the firm, said in an email that it will be a year or more before the firm has any production of market-sized fish.
The agencies say in a news release the fish have met the key hurdle of being "as safe and nutritious for humans and livestock as conventional salmon."
The regulators also said genetically modified foods are becoming more common every day and are a regular part of Canadians' diets.
However, an alliance of environmental groups raised questions about the review process, arguing there wasn't sufficient public input and — at the very least — the fish should be labelled.
"Canadians could now be faced with the world's first genetically approved food animal, approved with no pubic consultation and no labelling," said Lucy Sharratt of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network.
Labelling is voluntary, said Rola Yehia, national manager of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, during a conference call.
"Since in this case there is no health risk identified, there is no requirement for mandatory labelling," she said during a conference call.
Conley said in an email that the firm hasn't made any decisions on whether the fish will be labelled with his firm's brand or an indicator the fish are genetically modified.
NDP Health critic Don Davies said his party believes Ottawa must move to make labelling mandatory.
"If it is safe ... then labelling should not be an issue. It's just an issue of consumer protection and their right to know," he said.
Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay said a special committee will examine the issues surrounding the genetically modified food and make recommendations on possible labelling.
"It's a decision for the committee," he said, adding he expects a report back by the parliamentarians on the issue by the end of the year.
AquaBounty has said it plans to produce the salmon eggs in P.E.I. and grow them to full size in Panama, where they will be processed into fillets and shipped back to Canada for sale.
The process has drawn a campaign of public opposition and legal actions from environmental groups.
The Ecology Action Centre and Living Oceans Society say in a news release they've launched a court action against the federal approval in 2013 of commercial production of genetically modified fish eggs and fish, and that case is ongoing.

That midnight snack could be to blame for your trippy dreams.
Try to remember your dream last night. If you do and it was a little on the weird side, that cheese binge you had right before bed could be the culprit. Pre-bedtime snackers, take note: The types of food you eat before hitting the sack can have a major effect on your dreams.
Eating anything close to bedtime increases the activity of your metabolism, which causes your brain to stay active, making it more likely that the sleeper will have vivid dreams.
“When we consider that the nutrients in food affect many things in the body, such as energy levels, mood, and sleep quality, it is entirely plausible that different foods can also affect dreams in different ways,” explains nutritionist and yoga teacher Julie Montagu.
With that in mind we’ve put together our avoid-list of foods to skip if you don’t fancy dreams that will haunt you all day long.
It may be the ultimate midnight snack, but cheese can play havoc with your dreams. (Photo: pixabay.com via Pexels)
Cheese
You may have heard the old wives’ tale that eating cheese before bedtime gives you nightmares, and it turns out there’s something to it. “There is much speculation, and actually some solid research, to suggest that eating dairy products in the hours leading up to bedtime can cause bad or unusual dreams. Cheese and milk are thought to be the biggest culprits within this group,” explains Montagu. “Cheese contains tryptophan — an amino acid that the body uses to produce serotonin. Serotonin is the chemical in the brain that helps to keep the mood stabilized. So enjoying a dose of cheese right before bedtime could contribute to heightened levels of serotonin in the body, which could influence how prominently you dream.”
Cured and processed meats
You should probably stop raiding the fridge for cold cuts before bedtime. “Sausages, salami, bacon, hot dogs, corned beef are very high in tyramine, an amino acid that regulates blood pressure,” explains clinical nutritionist Kamilla Schaffner, from My London Nutritionist. “Foods high in tyramine are nutritionally known to disrupt normal sleeping patterns as well as the central nervous system in general, which may lead to increased episodes of nightmares, disturbing dreams, or persistent migraines.”
If only I hadn’t eaten that curry, I’d be dreaming of Jamie Dornan right now
Curry
There’s a reason your dreams ramp up a notch after Friday-night takeout. “Spicy foods right before bedtime have also been associated with bizarre dreams,” explains Montagu. “The body has to work a bit harder than usual to digest seriously spicy foods. This disruption to the digestive system could impact the quality of sleep that you enjoy, leading to undesirable dreams.”
Pickles and Fermented Foods
Terrible for your breath, even worse for your dreams. “Foods that are fermented or pickled in any way – sauerkraut, kimchi, tofu or pickles, soy sauce, miso and miso-containing products – can induce bad dreams when eaten at night,” explains Schaffner.
Alcohol
Cocktails or “alcoholic beverages, such as beer, red wine, sherry, and liqueurs are known to induce nightmares due to their fermentation process, especially when consumed in excess,” says Schaffner.
Heavy night? You could be in for even heavier dreams!
Chocolate
Noooooo! “Eating any food late at night that has a high fat content is going to cause some degree of indigestion. Indigestion can cause you to have a poor quality of sleep, as you are likely to wake often, and when you do so you are more likely to remember the strange dreams that you were having,” explains Montagu. You’re breaking our hearts here.
So how do we ensure our dreams are more Ryan Gosling than Walking Dead? “The best way I can suggest to avoid disturbed dreams is to not eat anything in the two to three hours before you go to bed,” advises Montagu. “This gives your digestive system a chance to catch up, and you are more likely to experience an undisturbed sleep until morning.”

The Thinsulin Diet claims that avoiding “insulin-spiking” foods like potatoes, corn
and carrots can help you lose weight.
We all know how important leafy greens are to our diet.
They’re said to be good for digestion and may prevent certain types of cancer.
Leafy produce—including fruit and vegetables that come from plants with lush,
green leaves—could also help you burn fat, according to two doctors.
Charles T. Nguyen, medical director of the Lorphen Medical Weight Loss Clinic,
and bariatric internist Tu Song Anh Nguyen, medical director of N.N. Medical,
which provides medical management of weight loss with an emphasis on behavior modification,
are co-authors, along with writer Mary Ann Marshall, of The Thinsulin Program:
The Breakthrough Solution To Help You Lose Weight And Stay Thin.
The two claim that greener the leaf, the more powerful it will be in helping to lower insulin levels.
They say that high insulin levels cause your body to store fat, while low insulin levels cause it to burn fat.
Their top-pick veggies for weight loss include asparagus, bok choy, spinach, kale, arugula, rhubarb and watercress.
The Nguyens maintain that fruits to stock up on, meanwhile, include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries,
cherries, blackberries and grapes.
The doctors also urge people to avoid “insulin-spiking” potatoes, corn, carrots and beets. Meanwhile,
they say that meat is a good choice for keeping insulin levels low and helping to burn fat.
Two registered dietitians north of the border, however, don’t buy the authors’ claims.
Desiree Nielsen, author of Un-Junk Your Diet and co-chair of Dietitians of Canada’s Integrative
and Functional Nutrition Network, says the Thinsulin program appears to be little more than a low-carb diet.
“A low carbohydrate diet can work for weight loss, but it isn’t a sustainable or healthful solution for the long term,
and as soon as you quit, the weight will come back,” Nielsen says.
Insulin isn’t responsible for weight gain, she says. Rather, it is responsible for ensuring that the energy
from the food you consume is properly utilized by your cells.
“It is true that when blood sugars rise rapidly due to eating hyper-processed carbohydrate foods like pastries
and soda, the pancreas will respond with a large spike of insulin to get blood sugars under control,” she says. ”
So choosing whole foods with a lower glycemic index or load helps to regulate appetite by keeping blood sugars stable.
“Care has to be taken with interpreting the glycemic index of foods, as we rarely eat foods in isolation,” she adds.
“And [a combination of] protein, fat and fibre within the same meal augments the rise of blood sugar.”
Nielsen notes, too, that no single food will burn fat or promote weight loss.
“Creating meals with an adequate balance of colourful high-fibre veggies, moderate amounts of intact whole grains,
lean protein and healthy fats will support a healthy weight,” she says.
Jessica Carter, contact dietitian at Dani Health and Nutrition Services, with offices in Vancouver
and Victoria, B.C., describes the Thinsulin program as
“another fad diet that backhandedly demonizes carbohydrates.”
She points out that not all carbs are created equal. The “bad” ones are generally thought of as refined
or processed carbs,
such as white bread, donuts, cookies, as well as added sugars, like glucose-fructose or high-fructose corn syrup.
“When eaten solo, these kind of foods can spike blood sugars and crash them only a short time later—not so good
for the body to keep your energy level and your brain functioning at an even keel,” Carter says.
The “good’ carbs, on the other hand, are considered to be those that have other stuff going on in them.
Take beans, which contain carbs as well as protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals.
Root vegetables like beets and carrots contain unrefined carbohydrate as well as vitamins A and C,
potassium, fibre and other nutrients.
“Whole grains—yes, even the demonized wheat–have fibre, selenium, manganese, iron, magnesium, niacin,
in varying degrees from grain to grain,” Carter says. “Fruit have unrefined carbohydrates, including fibre.
When we eat these whole, they have a laundry list of benefits much like vegetables.”

There has been many a heated debate about where to put your eggs (aside from not in one basket, of course).
The world falls roughly into two camps:
Those who keep their eggs in the fridge and those who think room temp is best.
Each group believes they are right and views the rival gang as, er, a bit cracked *groans*.
Despite there being a low risk of salmonella, some experts still recommend eggs are kept in the fridge.
Years ago, most of our condiments, including our eggs, were kept in the kitchen cupboard,
but recently more and more of us are opting to move them into the fridge.
Despite the fact that a new survey revealed us Brits are the least likely people in Europe to refrigerate our eggs.
So why is it that some people believe eggs, which have sat happily on our kitchen counters for so many years,
should have to make the move into the cold?
Some eggs-perts *groans again* argue eggs should be kept in the fridge to avoid incidence of food poisoning,
like salmonella.
Indeed, The British Egg Information Service believes the only place to keep food cool
and avoid temperature fluctuations is the fridge, hence the advice on egg packs
and fridges actually coming with those little plastic egg holders in them.
The cupboard or fridge debate is has been rumbling on for years.
Linda Nicolaides, a Microbiologist and an expert in Food Safety & Quality Management
explains how eggs could contribute to the risk of salmonella.
“There is a low risk that eggs will become infected with Salmonella Enteritidis Phage type 4
at the point of laying,” she explains. “If this happens the bacterial cells present in low numbers
will be “trapped” in the white (Albumen). In fresh eggs the albumen is too viscous to allow salmonellae
to move from the point of infection. As the egg is stored it absorbs moisture from the air diluting the albumen.
It takes approximately three weeks for the albumen to be liquid enough to allow Salmonella to swim
from the albumen into the yolk, where they can use the surrounding nutrients to increase in numbers.”
“The government recommends that eggs should be eggs in the refrigerator in the domestic situation,” adds Linda.
“However they should be used within three weeks of laying to make sure the yolk is Salmonella free.”
But not all eggs-perts (sorry, sorry!) agree. Dr Martin Goldberg,
a lecturer in microbiology at Nottingham Trent University argues that keeping eggs in the fridge
does not alter the risk of salmonella. “There is no need to keep eggs in the fridge as the shell
and membranes act as a barrier to bacteria,” he says.
“When we find Salmonella in eggs,
it is because they get in during formation of the eggs in the chickens’ oviducts.”
And some foodies actively discourage people from keeping eggs in the refrigerator.
“You don’t need to refrigerate eggs,” says Craig Mather,
head chef at the Empire Room, Ramsgate, who’s ‘soft boiled duck egg with crispy smoked eel soldiers’
were deemed 'Starter of the Year’ by food critic Jay Rayner.
“Egg shells are porous and will absorb flavours of other foods in the fridge, such as cheese
(which shouldn’t be in the fridge either) or onions,” he adds.
According to the Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food (ACMSF),
British eggs with the red ‘lion’ brand carry a very low risk of salmonella contamination
and many experts believe contamination mainly occurs when the eggs are laid or soon after.
When it comes to reducing the risk of food poisoning,
the NHS website advises against eating eggs that are cracked or dirty and recommend storing them away
from other foods to avoid the spread of infection.
They also say that cooking eggs properly significantly reduces the risk of salmonella.
So, basically, the experts are split on the egg storage dilemma, but if you keep your eggs cool,
clean and cook them well, you should be just eggs-cellent (last one we promise!)

Keep the eggs in the fridge(+5C) is better if you live in a hot area,
but in a cold area it dont apply.
On purpose eggs are the perfect food in the perfect packaging at low price.

I mean say really cold area as Canada or Russia.
The home temperature in Canada is around 18C to 25C,
except during summer, where it can go up to 35C.
Therefore, I would recommend to put the eggs in the refregirator,
unless it's only for a few hours.
Maybe in Russia the don't eat their homes and the thermometer goes down to 5C,
therefore it would be O.K. to leave the eggs on the counter. :lol:

If you’ve ever been told that brown eggs are taste better or are healthier for you than white eggs,
it turns out that’s actually a myth.
Laura Bauermeister, a research associate in the department of poultry science at Auburn University,
says if you look beyond the colour of the shell, there’s no difference in quality.
The only reason you pay more for brown eggs is because the chicken that lays the brown egg
is bigger than the chicken that lays the white egg.
“The hens that lay the brown eggs are a larger chicken.
They eat more so it costs more to feed them. That means the egg is going to cost more.”
The different breeds of chicken also affect the colour of the shell.
White-feathered chickens with white earlobes lay white eggs,
while brown and red- feathered chicken with red earlobes lay brown eggs.
There are also chickens that lay blue eggs and others that lay green eggs.
Bauermeister says you can influence the taste and the colour of the egg yolk
by what you’re feeding the hen.
“If you enrich the hen’s diet with omega 3 they are going to deposit more of that nutrient into the egg yolk.”
When it comes to a recommendation, Bauermeister says she wouldn’t choose a brown egg over a white egg because there really is no difference.
“If you took some free range, some organic
and some conventional chickens and have them all fed the same diet again
you’re going to have the same nutritional value in those eggs.”
Even though white eggs are both cheaper to produce and to purchase,
you’ll continue to see brown eggs in supermarkets
because it’s unlikely that people will give up the myth that brown eggs are better.
Next time you go grocery shopping, remember there’s really no right
or wrong kind of egg to buy.

While most of us may not give too much thought into washing produce,
experts say we should be thoroughly rinsing all fruits and vegetables before eating them.
The Environmental Working Group recently published a list of the dirtiest produce on the market.
Strawberries topped that list, and both apples and blueberries weren’t far behind.
While it’s no surprise that pesticides are used while growing fruit,
it’s up to us as to how much bacteria we actually consume.
Registered dietitian and president of www.80twentynutrition.com Christy Brissette
says washing fruit is essential because it removes some of the pesticides along with antibiotics
and any germs from people touching it at the store.
“The best way to clean fruit is with plain old water.
Put the fruit under running water for at least 30 seconds
and scrub with vegetable brush on tougher fruits like apples.”
Even when eating fruits like watermelon or cantaloupe,
Brissette recommends washing it before removing the peel.
“It’s still a good idea to wash the fruit on the outside.
Any bacteria, pesticides, etc. could be transferred from your knife to the inside of the fruit.”
Many websites suggest using produce sprays to get the dirt off,
but Brissette notes they’re unnecessary.
“I don’t recommend using sprays.
These aren’t shown to help more than water and could even contaminate your food.
Don’t use soap for the same reason: you don’t want to be eating soap!”
While organic produce does tend to cost more,
it’s not a bad idea to stock up on fruit and vegetables
that tend to be the most heavily contaminated
with pesticides.
However, just because it’s organic doesn’t mean it’s bacteria-free.
Brissette notes it should always be rinsed,
no matter where you purchased the produce.
You should also think about your local farmers market as a source for finding fresh fruits
and vegetables.
“Farmers markets are great because you can typically speak to the farmer
about how he or she grows the food.
Some smaller farms may not be certified organic but still use organic practices.”
Although there’s no immediate danger in occasionally consuming pesticides,
it’s best to limit your exposure as best you can.

Check your cupboards
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued recall warnings for several popular snack products
due to possible Listeria contamination.
No illnesses linked to the consumption of these products have been reported.
The Canada-wide recall, issued Thursday, affects:
- Quaker brand quinoa granola bars.
- Spitz brand sunflower kernels.
- CLIF Bar brand Sierra Trail Mix energy bars.
Quaker Canada recalls
The granola bar recall was first issued by Quaker Canada on May 16,
but at that time was only believed to affect products sold in Ontario.
Quaker Harvest Quinoa Granola Bars in both Chocolate Nut Medley, and Yogurt,
Fruit & Nut flavours were recalled.
The company said the products contain sunflower kernels that may have been contaminated with Listeria,
bacteria that cause listeriosis, a serious infection usually caused by eating contaminated food.
Quaker Canada also issued a recall for Spitz Sunflower Kernels in both salted flavour
and dill pickle flavour.
The products in the recall have various best-before dates and product codes.
CFIA advises consumers with any of the products to throw them away
or return the products to the store where they were purchased.
CLIF Bar recall
The Sierra Trail Mix Energy Bars recall by CLIF Bar & Company is also linked to sunflower products.
On its website, the company says its ingredient supplier,
SunOpta, was found to have distributed sunflower kernels that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Products in the recall carry best-buy dates of 2016JN06 up to 2017FE23.
Listeria monocytogenes
Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes can include vomiting, nausea, fever, muscles aches, severe headaches
or neck stiffness.
High-risk groups like pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems
should seek medical attention if they think they may be infected.

The 12 Best Foods to Eat in the Morning
By Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDE | May, 2016 | 95,896 views
Man With Scrambled Eggs in a PanDespite what you may have heard,
eating breakfast isn’t necessary for everyone.
In fact, skipping breakfast may be better than eating many unhealthy breakfast foods.
You can read about the worst breakfast foods here: 10 Worst Foods to Eat in the Morning.
However, eating the right foods can give you energy and prevent you from eating too much during the rest of the day.
Here are the 12 best foods you can eat in the morning.
1. Eggs
Eggs are undeniably healthy and delicious.
Studies have shown eating eggs at breakfast increases feelings of fullness,
reduces calorie intake at the next meal and helps maintain steady blood sugar and insulin levels (1, 2, 3).
In one study, men ate either eggs or a bagel for breakfast.
They felt more satisfied after the eggs, and took in fewer calories during the rest of the day (3).
Additionally, egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin.
These antioxidants help prevent eye disorders like cataracts and macular degeneration (4, 5).
Eggs are also one of the best sources of choline,
a nutrient that’s very important for brain and liver health (6).
They’re also high in cholesterol, but don’t raise cholesterol levels in most people.
In fact, eating whole eggs may reduce heart disease risk by modifying the shape of LDL,
increasing HDL and improving insulin sensitivity (7, 8).
What’s more, three large eggs provide about 20 grams of high-quality protein.
Eggs are also very versatile. For example, hard-boiled eggs make a great portable breakfast
that can be prepared ahead of time.
Bottom Line:
Eggs are high in protein and several important nutrients.
They also promote fullness and help you eat fewer calories.
2. Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is creamy, delicious and nourishing.
It is made by straining whey and other liquid from the curds,
which produces a creamier yogurt that is more concentrated in protein.
Protein has been shown to reduce feelings of hunger,
and has a higher thermic effect than fat or carbs (9, 10).
The term “thermic effect” refers to the increase in metabolic rate that occurs after eating.
Yogurt and other dairy products can also help with weight control,
because they increase levels of hormones that promote fullness, including PYY and GLP-1 (9, 11).
Full-fat yogurt also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may increase fat loss
and decrease breast cancer risk (12, 13).
Certain types of Greek yogurt are good sources of probiotics, like Bifidobacterium,
which help your gut stay healthy. To make sure your yogurt contains probiotics,
look for the phrase “contains live and active cultures” on the label (14).
Try topping Greek yogurt with berries or chopped fruit in order to increase the meal’s vitamin,
mineral and fiber content.
Bottom Line:
Greek yogurt is high in protein, helps reduce appetite and may aid with weight loss.
Certain types also contain beneficial probiotics.
3. Coffee
Coffee is an amazing beverage to start your day.
It’s high in caffeine, which has been shown to improve mood,
alertness and mental performance.
Even small amounts of caffeine can achieve these effects (15, 16, 17).
An analysis of 41 studies found the most effective dose to be 38–400 mg per day,
to maximize the benefits of caffeine while reducing side effects (17).
This is roughly 0.3 to 4 cups of coffee per day, depending on how strong it is (17).
Caffeine has also been shown to increase metabolic rate and fat burning.
In one study, 100 mg of caffeine per day helped people burn an extra 79–150 calories
over a 24-hour period (18, 19).
Coffee is also rich in antioxidants, which reduce inflammation, protect the cells lining your blood vessels
and decrease diabetes and liver disease risk (20, 21, 22, 23, 24).
Bottom Line: Having a cup of coffee is a great way to start your day.
The caffeine in it may improve mood, mental performance and metabolism.
4. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is the best breakfast choice for cereal lovers.
It’s made from ground oats, which contain a unique fiber called beta-glucan.
This fiber has many impressive health benefits, including reduced cholesterol (25, 26).
In addition, beta-glucan is a viscous fiber that promotes feelings of fullness.
One study found that beta-glucan increased levels of the “fullness hormone” PYY
and that higher doses had the greatest effect (27, 28, 29).
Oats are also rich in antioxidants, which protect their fatty acids from becoming rancid.
These antioxidants may also help protect heart health and decrease blood pressure (30, 31, 32).
Although oats don’t contain gluten, they’re often processed in the same facilities as gluten-containing grains.
Researchers have found that most oats are indeed contaminated with other grains, especially barley (33).
Therefore, people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should choose oats that have been certified as gluten-free.
One cup of cooked oatmeal contains about 6 grams of protein, which won’t provide the benefits of a higher-protein breakfast. Oatmeal made from steel-cut oats provides about twice as much protein.
To boost the protein content of an oatmeal breakfast, prepare it with milk instead of water
or serve it with a side of eggs or a piece of cheese.
Bottom Line: Oatmeal is rich in beta-glucan fiber, which lowers cholesterol and increases feelings of fullness.
It also contains antioxidants.
5. Chia Seeds
Chia Pudding With Berries
Chia seeds are extremely nutritious.
They’re also one of the best sources of fiber around.
In fact, one ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds provides an impressive 11 grams of fiber per serving.
What’s more, a portion of the fiber in chia seeds is viscous fiber.
Viscous fiber absorbs water, which increases the volume of food moving through your digestive tract
and helps you feel full and satisfied (34, 35, 36).
In a small study, people with diabetes who ate chia seeds for 12 weeks experienced reduced hunger,
along with improvements in blood sugar and blood pressure (36).
Chia seeds are also high in antioxidants.
They protect your cells from unstable molecules called free radicals,
which are produced during metabolism (37, 38, 39).
In another study of people with diabetes, chia seeds decreased the inflammatory marker CRP by 40%.
Elevated CRP is a major risk factor for heart disease (40).
However, one serving of chia seeds provides about 4 grams of protein, which may not be optimal for breakfast.
Here is a recipe for chia pudding that contains more than 25 grams of protein.
High-Protein Chia Seed Pudding
Ingredients:
1 ounce (28 grams) dried chia seeds.
1 scoop whey protein powder.
1 cup coconut milk or almond milk.
Half a cup of berries.
Stevia or other sweetener to taste, if desired.
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Bottom Line: Chia seeds are high in fiber and packed with antioxidants that may reduce inflammation and decrease disease risk.
6. Berries
Mixed Berries
Berries are delicious and packed with antioxidants.
Popular types include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries.
They’re lower in sugar than most fruits, yet higher in fiber.
In fact, raspberries and blackberries each provide an impressive 8 grams of fiber per cup.
What’s more, one cup of berries contains only 50–85 calories, depending on the type.
Berries also contain antioxidants called anthocyanins,
which protect your heart and may help you age better (41, 42).
Berries have been shown to reduce markers of inflammation, prevent blood cholesterol from becoming oxidized
and keep the cells lining your blood vessels healthy (43, 44, 45, 46).
A good way to add berries to your breakfast is to eat them with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
Bottom Line: Berries are high in fiber and low in calories.
They’re also rich in antioxidants that may decrease the risk of disease.
7. Nuts
Mixed Nuts
Nuts are tasty, satisfying and nutritious.
They’re a great addition to breakfast because they are filling and help prevent weight gain (47, 48).
Even though nuts are high in calories, studies suggest you do not absorb all of the fat in them.
In fact, your body only absorbs about 129 calories from a 28-gram (1-ounce) serving of almonds (49, 50, 51).
This may be true for some other nuts as well, although at this time only almonds have been tested.
Furthermore, nuts have been shown to improve heart disease risk factors,
reduce insulin resistance and decrease inflammation (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58).
All types of nuts are also high in magnesium, potassium and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.
In addition, Brazil nuts are one of the best sources of selenium.
In fact, just two Brazil nuts provide more than 100% of the recommended daily intake of selenium (59).
Nuts are also beneficial for people with diabetes.
In one study, replacing a portion of carbs with 2 ounces of nuts led to reduced blood sugar and cholesterol levels (60).
Topping Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts provides crunch and flavor, while increasing your breakfast’s nutritional value.
Bottom Line: Nuts are filling, nutrient-dense foods that may help reduce heart disease risk and improve blood sugar control.
8. Green Tea
Green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.
It contains caffeine, which improves alertness and mood, along with raising metabolic rate (15, 18, 19).
Green tea provides only 35–70 mg of caffeine per cup, which is about half the amount in coffee.
Green tea may be especially helpful against diabetes.
A review of 17 studies found that green tea drinkers had reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels (61).
It also contains an antioxidant known as EGCG, which may protect the brain,
nervous system and heart from damage (62, 63, 64, 65).
Bottom Line: Green tea has many health benefits. It contains an antioxidant called EGCG,
which has benefits for the brain and nervous system.
9. Protein Shake
Another great way to start your day is with a protein shake or smoothie.
Several types of protein powder can be used, including whey, egg, soy and pea protein.
However, whey protein is absorbed the most quickly by your body (66).
It has also been studied the most, and provides several health benefits.
Additionally, it seems to reduce appetite more than other forms of protein (67, 68, 69).
One study compared four high-protein meals.
They whey protein meal reduced appetite the most and led to the lowest calorie intake at the next meal (69).
In addition, whey protein can help lower blood sugar levels when consumed as part of a carb-containing meal.
It can also preserve muscle mass during weight loss and aging (70, 71, 72).
Regardless of the type of protein powder used, a high-protein shake can be satisfying and filling.
Add fruit, greens, nut butter or seeds to provide fiber and antioxidants.
Bottom Line: A protein shake or smoothie is a great high-protein breakfast choice that promotes fullness
and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
10. Fruit
Fruit can be a delicious part of a nourishing breakfast.
All types of fruit contain vitamins, potassium, fiber and are relatively low in calories.
One cup of chopped fruit provides about 80–130 calories, depending on the type.
Citrus fruits are also very high in vitamin C. In fact, a large orange provides more than 100%
of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.
Fruit is also very filling, due to its high fiber and water content (73).
Pair fruit with eggs, cheese, cottage cheese or Greek yogurt for a well-balanced breakfast
that will sustain you for hours.

Your stomach is an amazing organ.
It takes just about anything you throw at it, breaks it down and reroutes it through the proper channels for digestion,
nutrient absorption, and toxin extraction. Once it’s squeezed out all it can from that sandwich you had for lunch,
it kicks the leftover detritus out the back door.
We rely on this remarkably efficient machine every time we stuff something in our mouths,
and we rarely think about it — until the machine sputters and it turns on us by stabbing, churning or burning.
That’s when we reach for something to soothe the pain, quell the nausea or stop up the diarrhea.
But what medication works best on what bellyache? We asked Bilal Hatoum, BSc. Pharm., a Calgary clinical,
emergency department pharmacist, and Eric Lam, MD, FRCPC,
clinical associate professor at UBC’s Division of Gastroenterology, for their gut reaction.
“Generalized stomach aches and symptoms are among the most common complaints in both community pharmacy
and hospital emergency departments,” says Hatoum. “I work in both, so I see these on a daily basis.
Assessing the exact cause is almost akin to the pharmacist playing detective and the patient giving as many clues as possible.
Most importantly, we must always inquire about any red flags, meaning symptoms that warrant a physician referral asap,
such as chest pain resembling heart attack, whether the pain intensity is moderate to severe,
whether there is choking or trouble swallowing, stomach bleeding or vomiting blood, and unintentional weight loss.
Many treatments focus on relieving symptoms rather than curing the disease,
hence the importance of following up with a physician to determine the underlying cause of the problem.”
Minor and temporary tummy troubles, however, usually respond well to over-the-counter (OTC) medications
such as the following.
The symptoms: Nausea and vomiting
Relief: Dimenhydrinate, a class of medications called antihistamines, such as Gravol and Dramamine.
Course for correction: Two to three days.
Possible side effects: Drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, dizziness and blurred vision.
How they work: Block the nerve impulses in the vomiting centre and gastrointestinal tract.
Expert advice:
“Always begin with non-drug measures first,” says Hatoum. “For example, eating smaller meals,
avoiding spicy foods, maintaining adequate hydration with water and electrolytes.” Dr. Lam adds that,
although it’s not common because it’s not usually taken long enough,
Gravol can be addicting in high doses and alongside certain other medications.
The symptoms: Acid indigestion (dyspepsia) and heartburn
Relief: Antacids such as Rolaids and Tums (calcium carbonate),
Maalox (aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide),
Gaviscon (aluminum hydroxide and magnesium carbonate), Pepcid AC (famotidine).
Course for correction: No more than two weeks.
How they work: Rolaids, Tums and Pepcid AC neutralize stomach acid;
Gaviscon creates a foam that floats on top of the stomach to prevent juices from backing up into the esophagus.
Possible side effects: Calcium carbonate and aluminum can cause constipation; magnesium can cause diarrhea;
famotidine can cause headache and dizziness.
Expert advice: “Magnesium salts should be avoided in kidney disease and elderly people,” says Hatoum. “
And those with high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney problems and pregnant women should avoid sodium bicarb.
” Dr. Lam adds that “Chronic heartburn could be mimicking something more serious, such as esophagitis
(inflammation of the esophagus) or Barrett’s esophagus,” which could lead to esophageal cancer.
The symptoms: Abdominal cramping and pain
Relief: Anticholinergics and antispasmodics such as Buscopan (hyoscine butylbromide) and Bentyl (dicyclomine).
Course for correction: Three to four times a day as needed.
How they work: Relax the muscle spasms in the abdomen.
Possible side effects: Sedation, dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, increased heart rate.
Expert advice: “People with glaucoma, heart issues,
prostate problems and the elderly at risk for falls should use caution with these medications,” says Hatoum.
The symptoms: Diarrhea
Relief: Imodium and Kaopectate (loperamides), Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate), Metamucil (psyllium).
Course for correction: Two days.
How they work: Loperamides and bismuth subsalicylate decrease secretions of body fluid,
and slow down the movement of the intestines. Psyllium absorbs liquid from your intestines,
making the stool firmer and slowing passage through the colon.
Possible side effects: Imodium can cause cramping, constipation and drowsiness,
and can worsen nighttime pain, so it’s best to avoid it altogether in painless diarrhea.
Avoid Pepto-Bismol if there’s a history of aspirin allergy, kidney problems, gout and stomach ulcers/bleeds.
It can cause darkened or black tongue and stool, which is harmless.
Use caution when combining with blood thinners and diabetes medication.
Metamucil can cause cramping and gas (drink plenty of water throughout the day,
leave two hours between other medications).
Expert advice: Diarrhea raises many red flags, says Hatoum,
particularly if there is blood or abnormal mucous in the stool,
severe cramping and pain, fever, if you’re pregnant, under two years old, or have diabetes.
Says Dr. Lam, “Chronic diarrhea could mimic celiac disease, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
New onset diarrhea that does not improve with OTC medications in anyone over 40 should prompt investigations.
In older people we are concerned about colon cancer.”
The symptoms: Flatulence, indigestion
Relief: Lactaid (lactase enzyme), Eno and Alka-Seltzer (simethicone), Beano (alpha-d-galactosidase).
Course for correction: Two tablets/packets every four hours; no more than eight doses in 24 hours.
How they work: Lactase breaks down sugars in dairy products to make them easier to digest;
simethicone prevents liquids from bubbling up in the stomach;
Beano breaks down complex sugars in the digestive tract, reducing bloating and gas.
Possible side effects: No documented side effects if taken on their own,
but there is a possibility of serious allergic reaction to simethicones
(which also contain high doses of sodium).
“The biggest side effects are gastrointestinal bleeding with Alka-Seltzer/Eno,” says Dr. Lam,
particularly if you’re taking other medications that contain acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), and blood thinners.
Expert advice: “Alka-Seltzer/Eno contain ASA,
or aspirin, which if taken long term can lead to stomach ulceration,” says Dr. Lam.
“Those with kidney problems should avoid ASA products and it should not be given to children
because of [the risk of] Reye’s syndrome. The main danger to OTC medications is not that chronic usage
will lead to damage to the body per se;
it’s that people may be masking something more serious that the OTC would not have helped anyway.
Usually, if patients are not responding to OTC treatment of any kind for two to three weeks,
or if they find that they require higher
or more frequent dosing, they should seek the advice of their primary care physician.”
Hatoum advises that, before relying on any of these meds, to first consider changes in diet and lifestyle,
such as limiting carbonated and lactose food and drink, eating slowly and earlier in the day.
Proper care and feeding of your amazing organ will keep it healthy and high functioning.

The 12 Best Foods to Eat in the Morning
By Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDE | May, 2016 | 95,896 views
Man With Scrambled Eggs in a PanDespite what you may have heard,
eating breakfast isn’t necessary for everyone.
In fact, skipping breakfast may be better than eating many unhealthy breakfast foods.
You can read about the worst breakfast foods here: 10 Worst Foods to Eat in the Morning.
However, eating the right foods can give you energy and prevent you from eating too much during the rest of the day.
Here are the 12 best foods you can eat in the morning.
1. Eggs
Eggs are undeniably healthy and delicious.
Studies have shown eating eggs at breakfast increases feelings of fullness,
reduces calorie intake at the next meal and helps maintain steady blood sugar and insulin levels (1, 2, 3).
In one study, men ate either eggs or a bagel for breakfast.
They felt more satisfied after the eggs, and took in fewer calories during the rest of the day (3).
Additionally, egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin.
These antioxidants help prevent eye disorders like cataracts and macular degeneration (4, 5).
Eggs are also one of the best sources of choline,
a nutrient that’s very important for brain and liver health (6).
They’re also high in cholesterol, but don’t raise cholesterol levels in most people.
In fact, eating whole eggs may reduce heart disease risk by modifying the shape of LDL,
increasing HDL and improving insulin sensitivity (7, 8).
What’s more, three large eggs provide about 20 grams of high-quality protein.
Eggs are also very versatile. For example, hard-boiled eggs make a great portable breakfast
that can be prepared ahead of time.
Bottom Line:
Eggs are high in protein and several important nutrients.
They also promote fullness and help you eat fewer calories.
2. Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is creamy, delicious and nourishing.
It is made by straining whey and other liquid from the curds,
which produces a creamier yogurt that is more concentrated in protein.
Protein has been shown to reduce feelings of hunger,
and has a higher thermic effect than fat or carbs (9, 10).
The term “thermic effect” refers to the increase in metabolic rate that occurs after eating.
Yogurt and other dairy products can also help with weight control,
because they increase levels of hormones that promote fullness, including PYY and GLP-1 (9, 11).
Full-fat yogurt also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may increase fat loss
and decrease breast cancer risk (12, 13).
Certain types of Greek yogurt are good sources of probiotics, like Bifidobacterium,
which help your gut stay healthy. To make sure your yogurt contains probiotics,
look for the phrase “contains live and active cultures” on the label (14).
Try topping Greek yogurt with berries or chopped fruit in order to increase the meal’s vitamin,
mineral and fiber content.
Bottom Line:
Greek yogurt is high in protein, helps reduce appetite and may aid with weight loss.
Certain types also contain beneficial probiotics.
3. Coffee
Coffee is an amazing beverage to start your day.
It’s high in caffeine, which has been shown to improve mood,
alertness and mental performance.
Even small amounts of caffeine can achieve these effects (15, 16, 17).
An analysis of 41 studies found the most effective dose to be 38–400 mg per day,
to maximize the benefits of caffeine while reducing side effects (17).
This is roughly 0.3 to 4 cups of coffee per day, depending on how strong it is (17).
Caffeine has also been shown to increase metabolic rate and fat burning.
In one study, 100 mg of caffeine per day helped people burn an extra 79–150 calories
over a 24-hour period (18, 19).
Coffee is also rich in antioxidants, which reduce inflammation, protect the cells lining your blood vessels
and decrease diabetes and liver disease risk (20, 21, 22, 23, 24).
Bottom Line: Having a cup of coffee is a great way to start your day.
The caffeine in it may improve mood, mental performance and metabolism.
4. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is the best breakfast choice for cereal lovers.
It’s made from ground oats, which contain a unique fiber called beta-glucan.
This fiber has many impressive health benefits, including reduced cholesterol (25, 26).
In addition, beta-glucan is a viscous fiber that promotes feelings of fullness.
One study found that beta-glucan increased levels of the “fullness hormone” PYY
and that higher doses had the greatest effect (27, 28, 29).
Oats are also rich in antioxidants, which protect their fatty acids from becoming rancid.
These antioxidants may also help protect heart health and decrease blood pressure (30, 31, 32).
Although oats don’t contain gluten, they’re often processed in the same facilities as gluten-containing grains.
Researchers have found that most oats are indeed contaminated with other grains, especially barley (33).
Therefore, people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should choose oats that have been certified as gluten-free.
One cup of cooked oatmeal contains about 6 grams of protein, which won’t provide the benefits of a higher-protein breakfast. Oatmeal made from steel-cut oats provides about twice as much protein.
To boost the protein content of an oatmeal breakfast, prepare it with milk instead of water
or serve it with a side of eggs or a piece of cheese.
Bottom Line: Oatmeal is rich in beta-glucan fiber, which lowers cholesterol and increases feelings of fullness.
It also contains antioxidants.
5. Chia Seeds
Chia Pudding With Berries
Chia seeds are extremely nutritious.
They’re also one of the best sources of fiber around.
In fact, one ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds provides an impressive 11 grams of fiber per serving.
What’s more, a portion of the fiber in chia seeds is viscous fiber.
Viscous fiber absorbs water, which increases the volume of food moving through your digestive tract
and helps you feel full and satisfied (34, 35, 36).
In a small study, people with diabetes who ate chia seeds for 12 weeks experienced reduced hunger,
along with improvements in blood sugar and blood pressure (36).
Chia seeds are also high in antioxidants.
They protect your cells from unstable molecules called free radicals,
which are produced during metabolism (37, 38, 39).
In another study of people with diabetes, chia seeds decreased the inflammatory marker CRP by 40%.
Elevated CRP is a major risk factor for heart disease (40).
However, one serving of chia seeds provides about 4 grams of protein, which may not be optimal for breakfast.
Here is a recipe for chia pudding that contains more than 25 grams of protein.
High-Protein Chia Seed Pudding
Ingredients:
1 ounce (28 grams) dried chia seeds.
1 scoop whey protein powder.
1 cup coconut milk or almond milk.
Half a cup of berries.
Stevia or other sweetener to taste, if desired.
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Bottom Line: Chia seeds are high in fiber and packed with antioxidants that may reduce inflammation and decrease disease risk.
6. Berries
Mixed Berries
Berries are delicious and packed with antioxidants.
Popular types include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries.
They’re lower in sugar than most fruits, yet higher in fiber.
In fact, raspberries and blackberries each provide an impressive 8 grams of fiber per cup.
What’s more, one cup of berries contains only 50–85 calories, depending on the type.
Berries also contain antioxidants called anthocyanins,
which protect your heart and may help you age better (41, 42).
Berries have been shown to reduce markers of inflammation, prevent blood cholesterol from becoming oxidized
and keep the cells lining your blood vessels healthy (43, 44, 45, 46).
A good way to add berries to your breakfast is to eat them with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
Bottom Line: Berries are high in fiber and low in calories.
They’re also rich in antioxidants that may decrease the risk of disease.
7. Nuts
Mixed Nuts
Nuts are tasty, satisfying and nutritious.
They’re a great addition to breakfast because they are filling and help prevent weight gain (47, 48).
Even though nuts are high in calories, studies suggest you do not absorb all of the fat in them.
In fact, your body only absorbs about 129 calories from a 28-gram (1-ounce) serving of almonds (49, 50, 51).
This may be true for some other nuts as well, although at this time only almonds have been tested.
Furthermore, nuts have been shown to improve heart disease risk factors,
reduce insulin resistance and decrease inflammation (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58).
All types of nuts are also high in magnesium, potassium and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.
In addition, Brazil nuts are one of the best sources of selenium.
In fact, just two Brazil nuts provide more than 100% of the recommended daily intake of selenium (59).
Nuts are also beneficial for people with diabetes.
In one study, replacing a portion of carbs with 2 ounces of nuts led to reduced blood sugar and cholesterol levels (60).
Topping Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts provides crunch and flavor, while increasing your breakfast’s nutritional value.
Bottom Line: Nuts are filling, nutrient-dense foods that may help reduce heart disease risk and improve blood sugar control.
8. Green Tea
Green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.
It contains caffeine, which improves alertness and mood, along with raising metabolic rate (15, 18, 19).
Green tea provides only 35–70 mg of caffeine per cup, which is about half the amount in coffee.
Green tea may be especially helpful against diabetes.
A review of 17 studies found that green tea drinkers had reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels (61).
It also contains an antioxidant known as EGCG, which may protect the brain,
nervous system and heart from damage (62, 63, 64, 65).
Bottom Line: Green tea has many health benefits. It contains an antioxidant called EGCG,
which has benefits for the brain and nervous system.
9. Protein Shake
Another great way to start your day is with a protein shake or smoothie.
Several types of protein powder can be used, including whey, egg, soy and pea protein.
However, whey protein is absorbed the most quickly by your body (66).
It has also been studied the most, and provides several health benefits.
Additionally, it seems to reduce appetite more than other forms of protein (67, 68, 69).
One study compared four high-protein meals.
They whey protein meal reduced appetite the most and led to the lowest calorie intake at the next meal (69).
In addition, whey protein can help lower blood sugar levels when consumed as part of a carb-containing meal.
It can also preserve muscle mass during weight loss and aging (70, 71, 72).
Regardless of the type of protein powder used, a high-protein shake can be satisfying and filling.
Add fruit, greens, nut butter or seeds to provide fiber and antioxidants.
Bottom Line: A protein shake or smoothie is a great high-protein breakfast choice that promotes fullness
and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
10. Fruit
Fruit can be a delicious part of a nourishing breakfast.
All types of fruit contain vitamins, potassium, fiber and are relatively low in calories.
One cup of chopped fruit provides about 80–130 calories, depending on the type.
Citrus fruits are also very high in vitamin C. In fact, a large orange provides more than 100%
of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.
Fruit is also very filling, due to its high fiber and water content (73).
Pair fruit with eggs, cheese, cottage cheese or Greek yogurt for a well-balanced breakfast
that will sustain you for hours.

I guess in a nutshell the pain comes from an irritated esophagus at the entrance of your upper stomach. It's not caused by stomach acid returning into the esophagus.

For diabetics, be very leary of a new once a week shot to control your sugar level. Some doctors and Dr. Phil is promoting this shot and is causing brain tumors, even cancerous. My buddy Rex has been taking it for 2-3 weeks now and his sugar levels are hanging around 200, not good.

We love a romantic, candlelit dinner as much as the next girl,
but a recent study has uncovered that this lack of visibility may lead us
to make unhealthy food choices.
Recently, the Cornell Food and Brand Lab partnered with a team of scientists from the University of South Florida
to see what, if any, effects lighting had on how we eat.
Looking at how 160 customers ordered in four casual chain restaurant locations they found that 16-24 per cent
of diners were more likely to order healthy food if the restaurant was well-lit.
“Half of those diners, who were seated in brighter rooms,
were more likely to choose healthier options (such as grilled/baked fish, vegetables or white meat)
over relatively unhealthy items (such as fried food or dessert).
Furthermore, sales records showed that those in dimly-lit rooms actually ordered 39 per cent more calories!”
To further test this theory, they then conducted lab studies on 700 college-aged students
and got the same results.
The reason: Alertness.
“Researchers conclude that the main reason that we make healthier choices in well-lit spaces
is because we feel more alert.”
To further test this theory,
researchers gave those dining in dimly-lit spaces coffee
and found that they ordered similar to their peers in the brightly-lit spaces.
But this doesn’t mean that you should crank up the lights.
Researchers also noticed that while those in darker spaces generally went for dishes
that were deemed less healthy,
they also tended to eat less, took their time with their meals
and claimed to enjoy the experience more.

I guess in a nutshell the pain comes from an irritated esophagus at the entrance of your upper stomach. It's not caused by stomach acid returning into the esophagus.
The pain I had was in my stomach,
in the lower part - bottom part of my stomach (Belly).
Not in the chest or higher.

Six months ago, I've stopped taking pills. (Methaformin - Glucophage)
More than a year ago, I have changed my eating habits.
(Everything with moderation - exception: sugar - pasta - bakeries)
My blood sugar level is now stable at 6.3 which is good.
Some doctors I've seen,
said that once you start taking pills you cannot stop,
well they are wrong...

If diabetic, leave the oatmeal off of the list. A bowl of oatmeal sent my sugar level up over 300. Blueberries is a much better choice. Oats turns to sugar when you consume it.

Humm mmm....
I eat big grain - slow cooking oat meal every second day
and my blood sugar is 6.3.
Humm mmm, strange isn't it ???
-
One thing I must add.
I do not use those small sugar blood tester.
I go to the doctor every three months
and he take a blood sample from my arm
and gives me my blood sugar average
of the last three months, more accruate.
One time a doctor in Montreal took my blood sugar with a small machine only two hours
after lunch and I was at 6.5,
then before I got operated for an hernia,
I did not eat for more than 12 hours
and my blood sugar was around 12.0.
The doctor told me that it was normal because I was nervous just before the operation,
then the anesthesist told me that those reading don't mean much ? ? ? ?
Who to believe. ????

Was it difficult to make the change ?
May I ask how much weight you've lost ?
As far as I can remember, I never liked to take drugs, read medications.
Even Asperine and the same.
I've lost 9Kg from 69Kg down to 60Kg and I am very stable varying by only one kilo.

Thanks, Guy. And good for you also.
I spent the first few decades of my life with a not so good eating lifestyle. During this time I was very active and busy with sports and was able to keep things pretty well in check. When I blew out my ACL, I stopped playing most sports and things changed. My eating lifestyle continued however and, when combined with my much more sedentary lifestyle, I started packing on the #'s. About 50#'s too much at my worst.
I have lost ~ 40#'s since I finally woke up and decided a change was needed in order for me not to become reliant on meds to extend my lifespan. I learned how to balance my macros and became one with vegetables. My best friends over this time has been a few of these:

I also want to do my own compost, because I've noticed that we throw out lots of stuff
that could be transformed into compost.

Last year when I was in Montreal
at one time,
when I did my grocery at Walmart the brocoli was almost 6 Cnd $
for a small (Read tiny) brocoli,
I skept the brocoli and went for more green beans and the same
for my vegetable soup.
I did lots of price comparaison between different grocery stores
and Walmart was about 20% lower than their competitors on many products.
In my price comparaison, I noticed that the organic products
where between 20 to 50% higher than convential grown produce.
20% higher is acceptable for me, but 50% or more, then I skip it.

Pneumonic,
I am looking slowly but surely into growing my own vegetables,
well some of them that are easy to grow
and make my own compost, that should not be that hard.
I have room on the flat roof of our house.
The only problem at times, might be that at times it's quite windy (20-25Khr.)
May I ask where you live ?

New Study: Counting Calories a Waste of Time – More Fat, More Weight Loss

Would you like a side of pesticides with that fruit bowl?
Dig in! Nearly seventy-five percent of the produce samples tested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2014
contained pesticide residues, some of which are linked to health problems including:
Leukemia and lymphoma
Birth defects
ADHD and other neurodevelopmental disorders
Avoiding these toxic synthetic pesticides isn’t easy.
Less than one percent of American farmland is dedicated to growing organic crops,
which is why you have a harder time finding organic produce at the store.
Growing more organic produce would not only make it more affordable and accessible for consumers,
it would also play a huge role in protecting our health and environment.
Study after study shows that organic agriculture preserves biodiversity, reduces water pollution,
improves soil health and saves energy. And food grown organically is free of antibiotics,
synthetic hormones and synthetic pesticides.

If You Buy Instant Noodles, Throw Them Out IMMEDIATELY!
Here’s The Reason Why…
Instant noodles are one of the world’s most popular foods.
It’s been estimated that about 95 billion servings of instant noodles are eaten around the world each year.
That’s a heck of a lot of noodles but if you’ve ever had instant noodles, its popularity really shouldn’t come as much as a surprise.
They’re cheap, they have an incredibly long shelf life, they’re easy to make, and they are delicious,
with so many different flavours available. But while you can get your calorie fix from instant noodles,
they aren’t exactly very nutritious. Many people consider instant noodles to be “junk food” because it’s low in protein,
fiber, vitamins, and minerals, but high in carbohydrates and unhealthy saturated fat. And unfortunately, it gets far worse than that…
Apparently, these noodles can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke because they contain
Tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ).
TBHQ is a byproduct of the petroleum industry and it’s used as a food additive to preserve cheap processed foods.
When an experiment at the Harvard School of Public Health was conducted to see the impact of consuming instant noodles,
it was found that people who consume the food regularly have an increased risk of developing “metabolic syndrome.”
This happened regardless if the person exercised or ate an otherwise balanced diet.
People with metabolic syndrome have health problems such as:
◾High blood pressure
◾High blood sugar
◾Increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
Dr. Hyun Shin, co-author of the study, did add this:
“That doesn’t mean that every single person is going to respond the same way,
but the piece to keep in mind is that it’s not a healthy product, and it is a processed food.”
In June 2012 ,the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) found a cancer-causing substance
known as Benzopyrene in six brands of noodles made by Nong Shim.

Organic farmers in New Brunswick say they are losing more of their crops
than usual to insects this year.
"I haven't seen a year like it," said Nathanial Bond, an organic farmer on the Kingston Peninsula.
Because they don't use pesticides, organic farmers like Bond
and Phil Savage will try to tackle the onslaught of flea beetles, caterpillars,
and aphids by covering some of their plants.
Holes in bok choi.
"Any greens that don't get put under row cover get full of spotty little holes," said Savage.
"Especially the bok choi, just completely riddled with holes."
Most shoppers don't mind a few holes in their vegetables if they know they're free of chemicals, Bond said,
but the insects are still costing him money.
"They're quite a big problem," he said. "Like entire crop losses."
Savage, who runs a market garden on the Kingston Peninsula, said the relatively mild winter is to blame.
Insects survived mild winter
"There was not any major die-off on many of the common insects," he said.
As a result, Bond said he'll have to avoid growing certain vegetables, such as turnips.
Bugs can infect the roots and destroy the whole crop, he said.
Instead, he'll take his chances with beets, lettuce, tomatoes
and peppers, which don't have as many problems with pests.
"But you know, I don't use any sprays and I'm just going to have to deal with that."

If you isolate a study to only one aspect of cholesterol the result will show an incomplete picture of a very complex issue. If you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, high glucose intolerance, etc. then probably a measure of C reactive protein (CRP) is more likely a better indicator of future artery and cardiac problems. This chronic arterial inflammatory condition is the most likely cause of plaque buildup in the artery walls. These are what cause complete stenosis and if the plaque breaks loose and lodges in the lung, brain, heart,....well you can see the problem. No simple, single answer, to a very complex problem inside an organism which is poorly understood, even in the 21st century.

7 Things to Never Buy at the Grocery Store.
It’s no secret that grocery stores make money by marking up the items they sell—
but the amount of mark-up varies a ton from product to product. “Items that are highly perishable,
and so might get thrown away before they’re bought, tend to get a higher mark-up,” says Andrea Woroch,
a consumer savings expert.
Coupons are one way to combat high prices, if you're careful
(check out the free app Coupon Sherpa for an easy way to digitally clip and organize coupons).
But for some items, a coupon probably won’t cut it.
Woroch recommends shoppers skip these items entirely at the grocery store.
1. NAME-BRAND CEREAL
“The price of cereal has been rising for years,” says Woroch,
and if you stick to your name-brand cereal you’ll feel the pinch in your wallet even more.
That’s because all of the advertising and marketing costs that go into convincing consumers
that one brand tastes better than another get passed along to shoppers.
If you compare the ingredient list of generic and name-brand versions of the same cereal,
you’ll probably find the same ingredients—in the exact same order. Make the switch to the cheaper box,
and you can save 50 percent or more, according to Woroch.
“And most stores offer a money-back guarantee on their own brands,
so if you do taste a difference you can get a refund,” she says.
2. SPICES
Mark-up on grocery-store spices is nearly 100 percent, and they rarely go on sale, says Woroch.
Instead of getting gouged on cinnamon and cloves, buy them at the drugstore or natural foods store,
where they tend to be cheaper. A jar of bay leaves, for instance, might cost north of $3.50
at the grocery store but less than 50 cents for the same amount from the bulk bin at a natural foods store.
“If you don’t mind putting them in your own container, you can save big!”
3. PREPACKAGED PRODUCE
You probably already know that all of those packages of cubed squash, diced mushrooms,
and sliced watermelon cost more than buying the whole produce.
But did you know that the mark-up is typically 40 percent or more?
"For a task that takes less than five minutes, you’re paying a big difference,” says Woroch.
4. PREPPED MEATS
Like prepackaged produce, the convenience of buying pre-formed hamburger patties
or assembled steak kebabs is going to cost you—anywhere from 60 to 300 percent(!)
more than buying the meat in its whole form.
But there’s a (cheaper) middle ground between buying a giant hunk of meat and the pricey prepped version:
Ask your butcher to grind or cube a cut for you, to make your work at home faster.
5. BATTERIES
These are a classic impulse buy, which is why they often line the check-out lanes at supermarkets,
where you’re less likely to take the time and comparison shop. But you can save 50 percent
or more by buying them at a big-box store, like Target or Walmart, or stocking up at a warehouse store, like Costco.
Batteries don’t have a shelf life, so buying in bulk shouldn’t give you pause.
6. SMALL SNACKS
Single-serve portions of chips and pretzels typically run 30 percent more per ounce than a big bag of the same product,
according to Woroch. If you like the grab-and-go convenience of the smaller sizes,
she suggests buying the bigger bag and then doling it into small bags as soon as you’re home,
so your pantry is stocked with DIY snack-size containers.
7. PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
Drugstores typically offer better deals—and more frequent sales—than grocery stores,
when it comes to personal care products, says Woroch.
That means tossing deodorant or shampoo into your grocery cart could cost you an unnecessary 30 percent more.

Cereal Dust ! :scratch:
THE DILEMMA Ever notice when you open a box of granola that the nuts
and raisins are on top while smaller riffraff lingers at the bottom,
making it all but impossible to eat a well-rounded bowl of cereal?
This phenomenon is known as the “Muesli Effect,”
and it describes the tendency of different size particles to separate,
with the largest paradoxically ending up on top and the smallest down below.
It also occurs in bags of mixed nuts, which explains why Brazil nuts are always on top
(thus the alternate nickname, the “Brazil Nut Effect”), and in gardens,
which is why no matter how many rocks you remove from the soil, there are always more next spring,
rising up from the Earth’s depths.
It’s the bane of manufacturers, who (like you) prefer their mixtures to stay mixed, and since the 1930s,
leagues of cereal physicists have struggled to solve this puzzle. It defies logic:
Shouldn’t the bigger, heavier particles sink and the lighter, littler particles rise to the surface?
Some blame a process called “granular convection,” whereby larger particles float on top of the smaller granules,
which act like a liquid. Others point to percolation, in which the small grains trickle downward,
or “fluid drag,” which impacts how much particles move when they’re jostled.
THE SCIENCE SOLUTION While the Muesli Effect is still largely a mystery,
inroads have been made toward some solutions. In 1996, engineers led by Kurt Liffman
at the Advanced Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Australia announced research showing
that the way containers are shaken during packaging could make a difference.
“By shaking a pile of particles ‘vertically,’ i.e. in the direction parallel to gravity, we obtain the ‘Muesli Effect,’
where the large particles, initially, rise to the top,” they said at a conference.
“Conversely, by shaking the box horizontally, we obtain the ‘reverse Muesli Effect,’ i.e.
where the large particles, initially, fall to the bottom.” Unsatisfied with the temporary cereal harmony,
engineers are still working on a new type of packaging that could keep the dust where it belongs.
THE QUICK FIX So what does this mean for average breakfasters craving both raisins
and crunchy oats in their morning cereal? If you open a box and see mostly large particles,
hold the box upright and shake it side to side to make them sink. Seems counterintuitive,
but it’s far more effective than turning the box upside down. Science proves it!

Guy, I always suggest first time fasters to start with a 1 day fast and then ramp upwards thereafter if desired.
For most this is not a terribly challenging process though, it is not uncommon, for some who are strong sugar (carb) burners, to end up with a headache.
I normally advise to start your fast with your last meal/snack of the day. This way you will sleep through a good portion of the 24 hour timeframe. Ideally, it is best to drink water only but many fasters will endure a challenge if they are coffee/tea drinkers. For those, it is fine if they drink tea/coffee .... provided no sugar or milk/cream is included.
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day is key. This helps flush out any toxins in your body. A good target is to consume half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water. So, a 200# person would drink 100 ounces of water.
I have plenty of experience and suggestions for you if you wish to engage in a prolonged fast, especially if you wish to experience the additional health benefits of using water fasting to raise ketones in your body.
If you have any questions, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.
Oh, and happy fasting. I strongly believe it will end up being one of the greatest thongs you will ever do for your health. :thumb:

RIP - an acronym for Raster Image Processor, a printing process that takes a vector file or a high-level document file format like Postscript or PDF and converts it to a raster (bitmap) image that a printer can understand. For some reason it was (erroneously) adopted by the digital audio community to describe extracting and/or converting an optical audio disk into various digital audio file formats.
FAST - from Old English "faestan" and German "fastan" meaning to hold fast or abstain from food.

I think I will start this coming Monday.
Plenty of mineral or source water,
how about a cup of two of green tea ?
If I feel dizzy or week, I might go for some noodle soup, that's one fith of noodles
and four fith of hot water ? ? ?
Of course I will do my stretching exercise, but maybe multiply by three...
I will do fasting once a week for a month, the I will see...
Thanks again and please feel free to comment and suggest.
Guy 13
Of course I won't tell my (Little overweight Vietnamese) wife,
because she will desagree with me.
She says I am too skinny.
If you are able, don't consume anything but water. Noodles are a definite no-no!
Rather than tea or coffee, I normally suggest carbonated water (ie seltzer, club soda) in moderation.
Don't worry about losing weight on a 1 day water fast.

See your situation here:
(http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/img/i/ideal-weight-metric-men.jpg)
The chart is complete garbage in my opinion, as it doesn't take into account muscle mass, bone mass, etc. Not only that, it's not based on scientific evidence. It's made up. Why is 30% obese? Was there data to indicate that suddenly one became sicker? No. They simply made that up.
See, eg:

Hi all,
today I did not eat food, I drank lots of water and a big cup of green tea.
In late afternoon with my empty stomach, or should I say:
With my stomach full of water,
I was feeling strange, like I was cold, but with 30C+
I was not cold, but the inside of my body was shaking
like when I am cold
and I was feeling a little dizzy.
Anyway, I did survive.
I intend to do the same next Monday.
I don't expect to see results right away, maybe in one month ?
Guy 13
I did my daily 15 minutes exercices.

The Ketogenic diet is basically the theory behind the Atkin's Diet. Low carb, high fat and protein which sends you into ketosis. The problem with a life long ketogenic diet is that it will cause heart disease in the long run as the kids that have epilepsy that is controlled by the ketogenic diet are at much higher risk.
Guy, I am a physician, be careful with drinking too much water while fasting. You can develop water intoxication which is too much free water that causes hyponatremia (low sodium) due to dilution, which can cause dizziness, weakness, confusion and ultimately seizures and potential death. I am an Emergency Medicine specialist and have seen this in infants and adults.

Way before Atkins, it was the Banting Diet. Both Banting and Atkins were labeled quacks by the medical community.

The problem is (At least for me) that I am still working, I have things to do and in addition,
I am 68 years old, in (Relative) good health, but still, three days without eating and only drinking water,
woooooo I don't go for that. Maybe one day a week is O.K.
Regardless of all the benefits for fasting, (Reboot your immune system)
I still think that's not for me, maybe for others with some health problem.
Anyway, to each his way to look at it and do what they want.

Hi Greyhound,
when I said that I drank lots of water during my 24 hours fasting day,
I don't think I drank too much, maybe 2 liters over 24 hours.
For the sodium (Salt) when I arrived on planet Vietnam more than 20 years ago,
I was affraid of salting my food, because I thought that it would give me high blood pressure,
but I started to have daily cramps and after asking the doctor about my (Mainly) morning legs cramps
he told me that I should put some salt in what I eat, I didn't salt anything, zero.
After a blood test the doctor confirmed that my body sodium was too low (Sorry, don't remember the figure)
but as soon as I started to salt everything came back to normal.
When you sweat a lot like I do everyday
(Don't forget, planet Vietnam is 30C+ almost all year's round)
you evaporate lot of water, therefore you loose sodium, which as to be replace.
Every three months I get a blood test for sugar, iron and sodium and sodium is normal.
Thanks for your advice.

After one year away from my Vietnamese family in law,
(They missed me more than I miss them :lol: )
when I came back my niece wanted to greet me with a small gift,
sooooo she gave me a bottle of apple cider,
because she knows that I love apple juice and apple cider.
Unfortunately, she did not read the label on the bottle
and gave me this bottle.
(See picture below)
Not the kind of gilf you give to a diabetic type 2
plussssss I never drink alchool and that bottle got 5%.
Humm mmmm :nono: :duh:
Well, I said thank you and the bottle will stay forever in storage.
Too bad.

BHA and BHT preservatives
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) aren't just hard to pronounce.
They're carcinogenic ... and found in almost all packaged foods in the U.S.
Human consumption of BHA and BHT is banned in more than 160 countries.
Chewing gum
While the actual act of chewing gum was never illegal, Singapore burst gum lovers' bubbles when it outlawed the importation
and sale of Bazooka Joe and the like in 1992. The ban stuck, but was slightly changed in 2004.
Singaporans interested in the oral health benefits of sugar-free gum can now get a prescription —
but still face stiff penalties if they're caught littering with it.
Tobacco
A 2006 Business Week survey named Bhutan not only the happiest country in Asia,
but also the eighth happiest country in the world. Four years later, the Tobacco Control Act of Bhutan
aimed to increase Gross National Happiness by banning the cultivation, harvesting, production,
and sale of harmful tobacco products. But here's a happy loophole for smokers: Tobacco consumption is still legal.

From the age of 6 in Montreal, Canada until when I left for planet Vietnam
I had alergies, sometimes really bad with all the symtombs possibles,
I tried all kinds of pills, nothing works.
The worst time was during spring and fall.
When I arrived on planet Vietnam, everything stopped completely, nothing zero.
I went back a few times for a few weeks in the last weeks July to visit mother and family
and it immediately re-started and badly.
When I was 30 I had some tests to see to what I was alergic to, well, many, many things.
Last year I spent the spring and fall in Montreal and almost nothing ? ? ?
Maybe it has something to do with my new diabetic type 2 diet ? ? ?
Or, I've heard that when you get older the alergies don't affect you as much as when you are young ? ? ?
Anyway, now I am here (Planet Vietnam) and I have nothing.
I almost forgot to say: When I was about 13 years old, my alergies where so bad that I could not go to school
some days. At that times, we were living in a suburn of Montreal, lots of fields, trees, etc...

That plastic bag milk is liquid or powdered milk?
Plastic bags are filled with liquid milk.
You can get powdered milk,
but it's packed in carton box
and not very popular nowadays.
Coming from a family of 10 children
(I am the first one - the oldest)
I remember when my father was at the hospital
and my mother did not have an outside job,
she try her best to cut the cost of the grocery
to feed us.
One way was the powdered milk,
she bought a 10lb box and mix it with water and some real milk.
We were young, so we didn't really taste - see the difference.
Horse meat was a different story,
but we knew it tasted different,
but did not know it was horse meat,
so we did not complain,
and even if we did, my mother had very little money,
I was 15 and still not working.

Hi bummrush,

A few days ago I ran out of Pure Bio Stevia by NOW,
I have to order from Amazon, but won't do it now,
because these days I am in a financial hole.
I had a bottle of honey, so I tried it in my Lipton tea.
Not the same, definitely not the same.
The get the same result has Stevia I have to put a lot, way too much,
I will try maple syrup, I have a few cans.
I miss my Stevia...
