Thanks all for your additions.
Like all of these things I think you have to read around the subject and take what you agree with.
I know there is some ding dong going on between Weston Price and the China Study's author Colin Campbell (my next thread ?? lol) . Each reckon the other is full of hot air... (any UK fans remeber Newman and Baddiel's history professors ? oh, never mind...
)
The aim of this thread is not a debate on who is right or wrong, but just an extra source of interesting information for those who are fighting any kind of tiredness, overweight, high bloodpressure (yes, it works for this Ammit) , diabetes etc etc. If you already know what you're doing you may be interested to see more info from another source, or you may feel your existing source is enough.
In my own experience, this is a
great read.
Particularly interesting is that it deals with the subject of food combining, to make your digestion much more efficient (will also help with weight loss too).
the theory goes that the body can digest protein using an acid environment in the stomach or carbohydrate using an alkaline environment.
But it can't do both at the same time.
So if like me you enjoy those Sunday roasts, steak and chips, a ham and cheese sandwich, chilli con carne... you are just loading up your stomach with hard work.
Also amazingly, the body is not great with cooked food. The enzymes get destroyed and the body no longer knows 'what it is' so it's more likely to treat it as a foreign article and store it as fat.
Don't get me wrong, I think it might be impossible to follow the books recommendations to the letter. But being aware of the nutrition info, will help you make better choices for your body and ultimately your health.
I still love a cappucino or a bannana fritter as much as the next person
