RE: Colorful Food And Health, Eat The Rainbow
Eating large amounts of fruit is not healthy because they contain lots of monosaccharides(simple sugars) - fructose. What is more manufacturers use special crops that have beautiful color but little nutritional value. Organic food often does not look beautiful. "
Consuming too many antioxidants in the form of supplements could lead to an increased risk of death and disease instead of having a positive effect. "
Sugars and food quality is discussed in the interview.
I will watch it later it is over 1 hour long, thanks for posting!
Thanks for the comments.
The beauty of the internet is that there are hundreds of hours for each sub-sub-subdivision of each and every subject. Too much, in fact, for one person to sort through. The joy of Steemit is that I can discuss my understanding, and if I have anything horribly wrong, the commenters usually let me know. I have, in previous posts discussed the dangers of too much sugar, and the dangers of too little. Gluconeogenisis is an metabolically intensive process that is better avoided if possible, the liver has enough to do. At the same time, sugar is the most difficult addiction I've ever broken. It was easily ten times harder to break than tobacco, until I discovered the method for my metabolic type to give it up. Once I found that, the addiction fell away without effort.
Sorry, I do tend to go on.
Have you heard that low-salt diet can make you stupid? Read about Iodine deficiency disorders and endemic goiter and endemic cretinism
Seaweed is yummy for a way to remedy this lack of salt and iodine. It can be ground up and used in a shaker in place of the brominated salt that is to be found in the stores. For additional salt I use pickling and canning salt, which is not iodized, but is the most electrically active. Sea salt is the next choice, but can be contaminated, and last, are mined salts that have been sitting in the ground, for who knows how long, losing it's ability to do much of anything, chemically speaking.
Lack of salt can also be a risk factor in heart attack. If the sodium level falls too low, in relation to the potassium level, a heart attack can occur.
