Peas and nuts?

[alp]

Can eating peas and peanuts really lead to brain fog? ...

In April, the journal Neurology published a study that suggested Parkinson’s starts in the gut and spreads to the brain via the vagus nerve that stretches from the abdomen to the brainstem.

And a study last year at Louisiana State University found lectins can get into the vagus nerves of roundworms.

Yet Professor Rhodes says: ‘The only diet for which there is a reasonable body of scientific evidence showing it’s good for you is the Mediterranean Diet — which recommends eating plant-based foods, wholegrains, legumes and nuts — the opposite to a lectin-free diet.’

Hi,

Eat anything you like in moderation and ignore all the so called experts who all die like the rest of us?

It took the first 57 years of my life with attending doctors and hospitals together with major surgery for Crohn's disease diagnosed by specialists only for Bron to find the cure; I am dairy intolerant. Two days after Bron read the article in one of her girlie mags I was 80% cured after dumping dairy products; This I'll never ever forget because I suffered 57 years of misery.

If you stop eating or doing things you like you won't live longer but it will seem longer?

Kind regards, Colin.

Agree, eat in moderation. But watch the preservatives, read the labels, wash your hands, wash fruit. keep things fresh, watch the sodium. drink water.

My belief is that our bodies have not caught up to the ever changing world, and we need to look back to our great -great grand parents, where they were from , what did they eat, and get close to that.

Poor you, Colin. It was like my heat rashes. I always avoided the sun as even walking in the shade in a sunny day would bring out heat rashes. I scratched so badly that I had had little "beads" all along my arms. About 10 years ago, a lady saw me hiding under my bootsale table and offered a cure. Suncream and strangely it worked. Nearly 40 years of suffering. Totally unnecessary.

Funny thing is that Veganism is reported to be big in the States. Don't know if this is true or not. Now, some EXPERTS argue that veganism would be disastrous for the country. I don't think the whole country is going vegan. It could also be that meat producers wanted to swing the opinion.

Fake news. We love our steaks and hamburgers.
But as a perspective: they say 7% of USA folks end up in a nursing home.

That's what I thought. I love meats as long as they are not infested with growth hormones.. If I don't have meat, I will be ravenous in no time. Would love to keep chickens like @marlingardener ..

If McDonalds closed it would plunge the world into another recession alp so meat is definitely here to stay. I couldn't be paid to go into a McDonald's. If ever the UK went to war again we would be throwing McDonalds at the enemy because most of our heavy industry is now abroad?

Kind regards, Colin.

Alp, we eat the eggs, but not the hens! We have geriatric chickens--some are seven years old. I'm trying to design little walkers and canes for the elderly ones. Our flock is just a bunch of feathered pets with eggs as a side benefit.

Colin, I haven't been in a fast food restaurant for over 20 years. I don't think the hygiene standards are very high and I don't like over-salted, greasy food. Perhaps something has changed since I last frequented a fast-food emporium, but from the ads I see on TV, it doesn't seem so.

Alp, it is easy to tell who is Vegan. They are the pasty white people sitting in the doctors office. I am an omnivore but I am fussy with meat. I eat mostly venison, farm raised chicken and local pork.

McDonald's another issue, have not been to one in maybe 20 years. Burger King maybe 10 years. But Wendy's maybe 2 times a year. My BEEF is from Amish cows, so its really good BEEF. I eat range free eggs again from an Amish farm of which I can see the hens roaming around. Chicken and pork are bought at a farmers market, and I only hope, fingers crossed, its just natural. We can only control so much.

@marlingardener.. Do you eat hens from somewhere else? If I could keep hens, I would certainly see it as a crop and I don't sentimentalise over crops. In wildlife documentaries, you see a mother bear/tiger/lion hunt another animal and a meal of the poor victim keeps the mother alive for days and their cubs have food or milk.

Someone here posted how unscrupulous people paste meat together to sell as a lump and growth hormones or various antibiotics are used to prevent the outbreak of any diseases as one of the latter can wipe out a whole harvest.

In between home reared hens and supermarket or industrial-scale farmed animals, I would prefer my own ones as I know at least what they have been fed on. Money is too strong a pull for humanity ..

@Silentrunning I hope I am not going to disturb a hornet's nest. I have found out that if they start the diet young, they tend to be smaller in physique.

I found it diabolical that when my son was in primary year 1 or 2, a teaching assistant showed the classes video on the cruelty of eating meat. It's like "Oh, how can you eat the cute little lamb? They are so cute!" The subliminal message was that all the little girls would exert pressure on their peer so that they wouldn't look good or be accepted as pals if they chose to eat meat. I wouldn't mind if she showed them to teenagers who might be in a stronger or more intelligent position to process the message. Too much too soon and too much too young.

Another awful parallel was that when the children were about 8 or before they got out of the school, they were encouraged to confirm their faith. The big day of confirmation saw all girls dressed up like a bride

Like the little girl in this photo, with headgear and satin shoes. Which little girl or boy doesn't want to dress up or want to be left out of the confirmation? How sickening was this! I never knew this until I saw kids dressed up for the occasion! A blatant sick bribe!

Hi,

Thanks Silentrunning and although I fully agree with what you say there are another group of people who also look pasty white but actually do eat meat; they live in Yorkshire UK me being one of them; the only Yorkshire people with a tan are either foreign or have been out of Yorkshire or have spent time on a sunbed? Anyone who thinks I'm joking please visit Yorkshire any time of the year; you might get lucky and arrive during one of two days of our summer; bring a torch and waterproofs though because like today it's usually a wet black hole?

Below is a picture of our front room at around midday in early August a couple of years ago; even with the floodlight it was difficult to see what I was doing; it seldom changes.

I was taught religion in school alp and failed on the subject as I did also fail in History. I can confirm I've absolutely no interest in either.

7:30 this morning another begging bag dropped through our letterbox and our postman has just dropped through an A4 sized envelope from Virgin Media declaring Black Friday Event which I'll not bother opening and will shred it; Black Friday; it's black every day here?

It's a good job I don't get depressed.

Kind regards, Colin

LOL! @Silentrunning - I'm roaring with laughter here. Very true. No matter how much meat we eat here in the UK; unless we go for the sunbed every week, we will be pasty .. Just tell you .. diversity is to be embraced.

@Colin you could haggle a bit if you have been with them for a long time. @Verdun will tell you that. All these companies rip you off if you don't pretend to be a newcomer. When I was a newcomer to BT, they gave me £64 cash back.. What does this tell you. Ignore the post all means but put a fake address to see how much you can save as a newcomer! You will be angrily amazed!
