Are health food labels BS? Which can we trust?
Hey y'all, This week's open question: Are health food labels BS? Which can we trust? Labels like "Organic," "non-GMO," and "high protein" make your food more expensive without necessarily making it better for you, NPR's Planet Money podcast reported yesterday.... ...at the very least, part of this 'conundrum' is predicated on the human tendency to think in binary terms; we want to believe that things are either "good for you" and you should eat more of them, or "bad for you" and you should eat less (or none) of them.... - plasterslug...
post stroke dysgusia robbed me of most pleasured in food. everything's salty..
ah man thanks for sharing. the rampant prescribing of opiods scares me; seems so easy for people with no prior history to get addicted and have it super negatively impact their lives, and most of the time the tylenol + advil combo is more effective.... Did you know that if you think something makes you sicker, you're more likely to feel worse, even though your symptoms may not actually be any different?... - annabeth...

Some of that is from being in my follicular phase of my menstrual cycle, but I also feel like my body has completed the initial shifts.... I do butter coffee, NMNH, Shilajit, and Rhodiola.

In the future humans have chosen to have a more sustainable world and longevity with higher quality of life.... I love love love you adding "practices" to this inquiry-that-comes-out-as-proposition—thank you! Love these! For example, I went through a period of gut health issues where I had to abstain from a lot of different foods during that time, and I learned that I could still derive... I call this the your "avocado eater type". The brown in an avocado is often just cosmetic. Some people can’t eat any of the brown. Some people eat around it. I met a really smart person who never flinched at the brown.... - renee...
Right! I like this. Many other things have priority until I learn how serious these are…then I may change the order. I’m reading headlines where Drs are saying things like headphones are frying brains.... I agree with folks’ comments about protein, veggies, fruit, colors being important to diet.
