I take it then you wont be interested in a glass of Chardonnay and some nice Paleo friendly sausages then.;)

From yesterdays paper.


Pooperoni? Baby-Poop Bacteria Help Make Healthy Sausages

The trick to making sausage healthier may be baby poop, researchers say.

Bacteria from baby poop can help make delicious sausages, which could transform savory meats into health foods much like probiotic yogurts, according to new research.

For millennia, cultures across the globe have relied on microbes to help create a dazzling variety of foods and drinks. The most familiar examples are the yeasts used to make wine, beer and other alcohol.

Bacteria and yeast ferment sugars in foods, generating acids, gases and alcohols. Bread gets its spongy texture from bubbles of carbon dioxide released by fermenting yeast; cheese, pickles and kimchi traditionally often got their sharp taste via fermentation as well.

If you get The Age in Melbourne today there's an article about the rise in those fermented foods popping up on menu's in cafe's and restaurants. Doesn't really say a whole lot on it but does give a quick little 'how to' for homemade sauerkraut and briefly goes over the health benefits and where it all started.

Ideally raw/fermented foods should be eaten at beginning of every meal, there prepare your enzymes for any meat consumption amongst other benefits.

There's this.

The preparation and consumption of bone broth is being increasingly recommended to patients, for example as part of the gut and psychology syndrome (GAPS) diet for autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia, depression and schizophrenia, and as part of the paleolithic diet. However, bones are known to sequester the heavy metal lead, contamination with which is widespread throughout the modern environment. Such sequestered lead can then be mobilised from the bones. We therefore hypothesised that bone broth might carry a risk of being contaminated with lead. A small, blinded, controlled study of lead concentrations in three different types of organic chicken broth showed that such broths do indeed contain several times the lead concentration of the water with which the broth is made. In particular, broth made from skin and cartilage taken off the bone once the chicken had been cooked with the bones in situ, and chicken-bone broth, were both found to have markedly high lead concentrations, of 9.5 and 7.01 μg L(-1), respectively (compared with a control value for tap water treated in the same way of 0.89 μg L(-1)). In view of the dangers of lead consumption to the human body, we recommend that doctors and nutritionists take the risk of lead contamination into consideration when advising patients about bone broth diets

Cheers for posting the link. The study didn't reveal that the lead found in the broth was above what is considered toxic for humans (infact less than drinking water), just that there was lead found in the chicken broth.That study was done on chickens and i'm not sure about the living conditions of those chickens, i.e. chickens fed on cereal and grains would influence the lead in the chicken more so than if they're pastured. In anycase, i make broth from cow bones that were grass fed.

Thanks for the link though, i'll keep checking out information on it.

Ok so i just found this article on Weston A price site that talks about how poorly conducted the research was....


Bone Broth and Lead Contamination: A very flawed study in Medical Hypotheses

They've also done their own research on broth with the following results
To that end, we would like to announce the results of testing performed by The National Food Lab on bone broth from grass-fed beef and pastured chicken from California.65 These two broths were prepared in stainless steel soup pots by the Three Stone Hearth Co-op in Berkeley. As tested on February 14, 2013 at a Minimum Detection Level of 10 parts per billion and again on March 1, 2013 with an MDL of 5 parts per billion, the results were as follows:

  • Grassfed beef broth. No lead detected
  • Pastured chicken broth: No lead detected
  • Reverse osmosis water: No lead detected
The Weston A. Price Foundation plans to do further testing of broth, and it encourages consumers to know their farmers and the living conditions under which poultry and animals are raised.

The takeaway? Dr. Campbell-McBride sums it up nicely. “As a whole, my position is unchanged: meat stock and bone broth are healing foods and they need to be made from the best quality grass-fed ecologically clean animals. . .” 66 In other words, take care with the source of your broth.
 
What are peoples opinions of Hemp products. Hemp oil, Hemp seeds etc. I bought the protein when I wasn't eating meat because it boasted a complete amino profile, organic, gluten free, produced without heat or chemicals etc.

http://www.hempfoods.com.au/

I still use it now, just because I still have some left. But does anyone here use hemp products??

About to embark on 1 mth detox of sorts

No refined sugar (this will be fine as I have pretty much already eliminated this from my diet)
No Alcohol
No Coffee -- seriously going to be the hardest part of this.
No Dairy

Increase exercise (yoga / pilates)
Meditation
...Looking forward to it (apart from the coffee thing!)

....anyone given up the beans before?!

I've given up the beans in the last couple of months.

Getting plenty of protein elsewhere so it doesn't matter too much.

I'm growing some in the garden which I will be eating but only in small amounts. The types that are more pod than bean.

I think the beans are coffee beans.

4 days is my record.

trouble staying off the coke or trouble staying off the Coke?

i have one coffee a day (black, no sugar) and i cant see myself giving it up any time soon
i'd probably drink more but it makes me pee too much.

Coffee high in mycotoxins makes you pee, quality coffee doesn't.
Your poisoning your body buy the sounds of it.

thanks for the tip.....i do drink fairly shitty coffee.
never heard of mycotoxins before so i'll do some research and make a change

one question. can i still drink instant? i dont really want to go through the hassle of brewing coffee and cleaning the coffee maker everyday just for one cup.

I'm sure you'll find an instant coffee that contains less mycotoxins & mould than the one your currently using, but not none, unfortunately only quality beans contain the least.
Organic doesn't mean toxin free either.

So like most things , it's convenience or good health , u can't always have both!

I'm embarking on something similar as of Tuesday (doing the whole30).

Yes i've given up coffee before but i'll continue with upgraded coffee beans as they're not toxic so there isn't a reason to give them up.
