Fresh Low Carbs
In article ,
"QN" wrote: Why spam a dead newsgroup? That's your first mistake. I regularly post here, therefore it's not dead. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out. Things growing in the garden are mostly carb based. That's your second mistake. They are mostly water with carbs making up 3% to 10% of the total. You also missed the first adjective, "fresh". Try and think "tastes good", more nutritional, and doesn't have pesticide residues all over it. http://www.foodnews.org/walletguide.php (except avacados, maybe) No maybe about it. Avocados are about 15% fat and only about 8% carbs. Nobody said that low carb had to be pork rinds, and low carbs isn't no carbs. There is a great deal of room for carrots, cabbage, Swiss chard, squash, (hell) watermelon (7.55% carb), parsley, lettuce, green onions, mustard, kohlrabi, beets, and herbs (culinary and medicinal). They are mostly water, cellulose (fiber), and vitamins. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0608162426.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/n...ory_85349.html Michael Pollan exhorts us to eat more leaves to improve our omega-3 fatty acids and bioflavonoids, if nothing else. And finally, Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating by Jeffrey M. Smith http://www.amazon.com/Seeds-Deceptio...y-Engineered/d p/0972966587/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247180992&sr=1-1 € ISBN-10: 0972966587 € ISBN-13: 978-0972966580 pg. 38 The complete body of research on the safety of GM foods also includes: a study published in a non-peer-reviewed journal, which demonstrated that tissue samples from the digestive tract of both humans and monkeys reacted with GM tomatoes in a test tube (33); an unpublished feeding study of a GM corn grown in the U.S., which showed an increased death rate among GM-fed chickens (34); studies comparing the nutritional content of GM foods with their natural counterparts, demonstrating clear differences between the two types of food; research demonstrating that GM foods can produce new allergens (see Chapter 6); highly controversial studies on the GM bovine growth hormone, which apparendy omitted incriminating data (see Chapter 3); and the industry's own studies, such as those submitted to the UK committee that had shocked Pusztai by their inadequacy. In spite of this small body of research, GM foods are a regular part of the U.S. diet. Approximately 80 percent of the soy and 38 percent of the corn planted in the US in 2003 is genetically engineered. Derivatives from these two crops are found in 70 percent of processed foods. In addition, 70 percent of the cotton crop and more than 60 percent of the canola crop, both use for cooking oil, are also genetically modified. About 75 percent of these crops are engineered to withstand otherwise deadly applications of an herbicide, 17 percent produce their own insecticide, and 8 percent are engineered to do both. There are also hundreds of foods produced with genetically engineered cooking agents, food additives, and enzymes, as well as varieties of GM squash and papaya. And there are dairy products from cows injected with a GM bovine growth hormone. All these are sold without labels identifying them as GMOs. The regulations in the U.S. are so lax, there are no required pre-market safety tests. There is no way to determine if these GM foods are creating serious health problems. People get sick all the time without tracking their illness to food, or pesticides, or air or water pollution. The causes remain well hidden. ----- If this is spam, then alt.support.diet.low-carb is the Sistine Chapel of spam. -- - Billy There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading.
