    Insufficient consumption of fruit and vegetable likely leaves your body a little too acid, according to this report. Osteoporosis (loss of calcium from bones) may result. Blood circulation may decline.

    The following points are made:

    • First, fruits and vegetables are rich in potassium salts, a natural buffer. Eating few of these foods deprives us of potassium, a mineral that protects against hypertension and stroke. According to Cordain's research, humans evolved eating a 10:1 ratio of potassium to sodium, and he regards this ratio as our biological baseline. Today, because of heavily salted processed and fast foods, combined with a low intake of fruits and vegetables, the ratio is now 3:1 in favor of sodium. That reversal, he says, wreaks havoc with pH and our dependency on potassium.

    • Second, there has also been a similar reversal in the consumption of naturally occurring bicarbonate (such as potassium bicarbonate) in foods and added chloride (mostly in the form of sodium chloride, or table salt). Bicarbonate is alkaline, where as chloride is acid-yielding. Chloride also constricts blood vessels, and narrows blood vessels reduce circulation, Sebastian says. Because the whole body depends on healthy circulation, vasoconstriction contributes to heart disease, stroke, dementia, and probably every other degenerative disease.

    • Third, eating large amounts of animal protein (including meat, fowl, and seafood) releases sulfuric acid though the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, also contributing to greater acidity. This acidic shift can be offset with greater consumption of fruits and vegetables (rich in potassium bicarbonate), but again, most Americans eat these foods sparingly.

    • Fourth, grains, such as wheat, rye, and corn, have a net acid-yielding effect, regardless of whether they are in the form of white bread, breakfast cereal, pasta or whole grains. "Grains are the most frequently consumed plant food in the United States," says Sebastian, and account for 65 percent of the plant foods eaten by Americans. "In addition to their acid yield, grains displace more nutritious fruits and vegetables,"

    From the page: "Iodine is essential for proper function of the thyroid. Goitre, a severe swelling of the thyroid gland, was once a common condition and this is why iodine is often added to common, refined table salt. However, the best way to obtain sufficient iodine is by eating regular amounts of seafood. In particular, kelp and other seaweeds are natureâ€s richest sources of iodine. Some people like to season their food with kelp powder."

    The definitive answer about whether sea salt contains sufficient iodine to avoid cretinism, thyroid diseas, low IQ, etc. (No, by the way...only 2 micrograms per gram of sea salt, and about 150 to 200 micrograms per day is required to stay healthy).

    "...experts now recognize fat can be good for you. Aside from the beneficial effects some fats can have on cholesterol--unsaturated fats, like olive oil, tend to raise levels of good cholesterol and lower levels of the bad stuff--fats help deliver vitamins, build cells and regulate hormones. Unsaturated fat also has antioxidant properties, which may help fight cancer; so does meat from grass-fed animals. The oft-repeated hypothesis that links a high-fat diet to breast cancer has never been proved. And when it comes to appetite, hunger and obesity, fats--along with protein, green vegetables and whole grains--take more time to digest, making people feel full longer."

  • Fat, Major Depression, Asperger's: Where the Social Model...

    Rated Sep 12 • 2 reviews • health, depression, aspbergers • wordpress.com

    From the page: "When I say I had serious depression from the time I was 11 years old, I am not kidding around. I mean that I felt like I wanted to die, and came close to acting on that wish, enough times that it really did threaten my life, and the rest of the time felt like walking through rapidly hardening cement. Depression was like a pack of trolls living in my brain alternately spewing razorblades and ether, telling me I was complete garbage and deserved nothing but censure, then taking a vacuum hose and sucking up the last of my adrenaline so I couldn't fight back. It cost me time from work, it cost me friends, it cost me fun, it cost me achievement, it cost me relationships, and most of all, it cost me ME."
