I am often asked to pro­vide a list of (click here->) the foods we eat and do not eat. Here is that list.

I am sure I have omit­ted some things but the major foods are there. It may seem extreme but it really isn’t. It is a lit­tle chal­leng­ing at times only because the bulk of mass pro­duced foods are not tai­lored to this lifestyle.Even so, it is quite easy to stick to once you under­stand the effects that cer­tain foods have on your health.

If you are inter­ested, do a lit­tle research. I did. It is no coin­ci­dence that this lifestyle is a com­mon choice amongst can­cer patients. It is easy to see why when you start tak­ing a close look at what is in the foods you are eating.

A friend sent this link to me and it is absolutely worth re-posting. I will say it just one more time: If we stopped pay­ing farm­ers to grow corn with our tax money, they would grow some­thing much bet­ter than corn. Any­thing would be bet­ter for that mat­ter. Okay, well maybe not Soy either. No soy and no corn would be bet­ter. I will stop now.

The Real Rea­son Why Poor Peo­ple Are Fat

Warn­ing: The sec­ond pic­ture in the post is going to catch you by surprise.

There is so much good info in this movie. Corn is in every­thing and it is genet­i­cally mod­i­fied to boot! If there were two movies I could give to every­one for free, this would be one of them. Food, Inc. would be the other. This DVD is avail­able through the “Stuff We Like” page. Rent it, buy it, just make sure you do get the chance to see it.

If you are read­ing this you likely already know that “con­ven­tion­ally grown” pro­duce is not good a thing because pes­ti­cides and chem­i­cals in and on the food you eat is bad. (click here if you are not sure if you have been eat­ing con­ven­tional, GMO, or organic) I am amazed that so many peo­ple still choose to ignore this, espe­cially when they go to the gro­cery store. To be fair, I too once let the pretty arrange­ments of pro­duce  intox­i­cate my senses when shop­ping.  All that  unnat­u­rally pretty, oddly col­or­ful,  and uni­formly shaped pro­duce looks appeal­ing. This com­bined with a naive sense of faith in “the pow­ers that be”  also helped me to ignore the obvi­ous. If I ever did let my mind wan­der to images of rat poi­son and the like, I quickly dis­missed those unpleas­ant thoughts. It was eas­ier to believe that that the gov­ern­ment (and even their gro­cer) had my back on this issue. They wouldn’t allow  any­thing on the food that wasn’t well tested and safe for my fam­ily and I to eat right? This is eas­ier to  believe because if you choose not to, you will be forced to ques­tion other things. That is unset­tling for many peo­ple and a lot of work too. con­tinue reading…

A friend sent this link to me about a 14 year study demon­strat­ing  a link to pan­cre­atic can­cer and soft drinks. While it would be easy for me to jump on the band­wagon as an ex-soft drink junkie (we are the worst), and it would be easy for me to say “I told you so!” I can­not in good con­scious do that here.

D0 soft drinks cause pan­cre­atic cancer?

While the data seems pretty con­vinc­ing, the study also sites four other stud­ies done pre­vi­ously that did not show a link. The per­cent­ages also seem oddly high to me, enough that it makes me ques­tion the data and its accu­racy. con­tinue reading…
