RE: The Dangers of Artificial Sweeteners: Obesity, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Heart Disease
Anything artificial worsens my fibromyalgia symptoms, artificial sweeteners and preservatives are one of the worst for causing me joint, muscle pain and migraines .
Good to know. My mom has that too. I got her to go vegan and she says its the best for her. Raw food moreso than cooked for her. Thanks for the feedback.
I tied organic vegan with supplements but this diet made my symptoms worse and I had to start eating at least one serving of red meat a week. If I don't I get fatigue and brittle hair and connective tissue problems, even my nails thin and start splitting. If I stay away from chemicals and sugar I feel really good. I read where your lineage comes from may have something to do with nutritional needs. My people come from the cold north and lived on animal products most of the year. One side of my family comes from the Blackfoot tribes living up by Canada and Montana. The other side is Northern Europeans. People from the Southern areas have an easier time living on veggies, fruit and grains. There are a few studies out there regarding diet and genetics but not enough for me to posit a good argument. I know some cultures have lived off mostly animals, fish, berries, and sea veggies like the Inuit. But I don't know of any culture that was strictly vegan. This would be an interesting subject to write about. Are there any traditional heritage vegan cultures that didn't depend on the modern food system?
