The Nitrate and Nitrite Myth: Another Reason not to Fear Bacon

So they eliminate some class of foods, get a benefit, and think the entire class was the problem. or they eliminate some class of foods, get a benefit, and thank everyone will get the same benefit. Doug, if people automatically refrained from eating all the foods that they MIGHT be sensitive to, they wouldn't have anything to eat. It should be implied that no one should eat something that he or she is actually sensitive or allergic to, but there's no reason beyond that to avoid foods that contain nitrates and nitrites, for example, a fear of cancer, heart attack, etc. In fact, doing so may actually be counterproductive to one's health. Paleolithic plans use rules that if anyone is intolerant of a food it's to be avoided. The list of foods that remain is large. Each paleolithic plan has slightly different rules resulting in slightly different lists but the result is the same. Atkins starts with a list of allowed foods. On that list are eggs and dairy which are a major loophole to the principle of starting with foods that have extremely low chance of having intolerance reactions. Starting from the list of allowed foods for Induction ingredients are supposed to be added one by one and tested in the eliminate-and-challenge style. Few follow that part of the directions but it does appear in the directions. |
