Not that his body worked differently, mind you, it was that he lacked the cascade of enzymes and there was no way to supplement him.<BR/><BR/>So he's been on a virtual No Carb diet since the age of two or so. And he's perfectly healthy as a result. He's got some nerve damage from lack of diagnosis for so long, but his doctors report no ill effect from the way he eats.<BR/><BR/>Then there's the children with epilepsy who are treated with ketogenic diets, also with no ill effects.<BR/><BR/>Just because it's the way we always ate doesn't mean it's the way we were designed to eat.WereBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746779803342657146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-76968082093364955022007-05-18T07:28:00.000-05:002007-05-18T07:28:00.000-05:00I am so sick of them fortifying our foods and part...I am so sick of them fortifying our foods and particulary animal feed which from what I understand applies to organic animal feed as well.<BR/><BR/>Why can't we just feed them what they are meant to eat and just leave it at that *sigh*.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16627887590504890131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-17037998788732423212007-05-17T23:03:00.000-05:002007-05-17T23:03:00.000-05:00I don't see much organic or grass fed stuff in the...I don't see much organic or grass fed stuff in the stores.

See, without bl...I didn't know CLA was a trans fat. See, without bloggers like you that spell this stuff out for the layman, stuff like that would be a mystery.<BR/><BR/>So... meat has CLA? How does it compare to supplementation at the level research has been done at? (which showed reduction in torso adiposity as I recall?) I mean, how much meat or whatever dairy would you have to eat to get that amount?<BR/><BR/>It's funny you know. So when there is absolutely, positively, no way to get around admitting that some aspect of eating meat/dairy is actually having GOOD research results, the solution? -- to find a way to artificially create it! Aside from 'saving cows' (to sacrifice people...) I'm not sure what the point of that is -- well, except money, of course.<BR/><BR/>I have a brand new yogurt maker and yocheese maker and have never used them. I usually think of it when I'm on lowcarb and I think the carbs are too many in yogurt. It seems like a fairly healthy food though, shame! <BR/><BR/>My little girl is getting chubby, and she loves yogurt. What do you think about a kid and carbs? I don't know that VLC is healthy for her, but aside from "no junk" and "normal meals" I don't really know what to do regarding her diet.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391277875371518678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-88038784611803674322007-05-17T15:48:00.000-05:002007-05-17T15:48:00.000-05:00Regina,So glad you've always been there.

Now watch what's doing to happen when these poor organic/grass-fed farmers try to get a foothold in the market--don't you think the opposition is going to be screaming, "oh, that grass-fed beef is full of trans-fats! Beware!" <BR/>Hmm--maybe not--big corporations usually take the high road, right?;-)<BR/>AdamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-43003887585999780802007-05-17T12:19:00.000-05:002007-05-17T12:19:00.000-05:00Thanks!I was a bit slow getting back to writing af...Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I was a bit slow getting back to writing after my vacation...so many emails and stuff to read!
