Slick Facts—Truth and Myth about Dietary Fats - Mona Sigal MD



Dr. Mona Sigal explains about sources of fats in our diets and how they affect our health and well-being.


The biggest thing is similar to what Dr Gregor says in his 40 year old vegan dying from Heart Disease.  It is the ration of Omega-6 to Omega-3.  Idea no more than 4:1 since Omega-6 creates inflation with the chemical pathway creating y-Linolenic acid forming Arachidonic acid resulting in Omega-6-derived eicosanoids that are Pro-inflammatory, and pro-agretory.  The Omega-3 is used in the same pathway and creates Eicosapentaenoic acid and Docosahexaenoic acid with Omega-3-derived eicosanoids that are Anti-inflammatory and Anti-aggretory




Trust but verify - The figures she gives are a little off according to both Nutritioindata.self.com and when I go out to cron-o-meter I get about the same values, and of course, I add in one of my favorite comparisons.








http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2475/2
Lettuce, cos or romaine, raw  (626 g)
·         Total Omega-3 fatty acids    707 mg   2.4*
·         Total Omega-6 fatty acids    294 m 


http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3138/2
Nuts, walnuts, english [Includes USDA commodity food A259, A257  (1 oz)
·         Total Omega-3 fatty acids   2542 mg
·         Total Omega-6 fatty acids  10666 mg      4.1 *
 




http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3163/2

Seeds, flaxseed (1 oz)

·         Total Omega-3 fatty acids   6388 mg      3.8 *
·         Total Omega-6 fatty acids   1655 mg















This is Ineresting as they say that you need a 4:1 Ration of Omega-6:Omega-3 and when I look at the numbers, I get a 3.8:1 (3..6)
.
.
.

English Walnuts

4:1

Flaxseed

3.9:1


I think it should actually read

Flaxseed

1:3.9

.
This way when you look at the numbers, it would be more accurate.
and when you add Romaine Lettuce it would look like

Romain Lettuce

1:2.4

.
.
.
Wonder who much flax seed would be needed to bring down Almonds into a 1:1 Ratio
.
  Total Omega-3 fatty acids
1.7
mg
 
Total Omega-6 fatty acids
3378
mg



so - I need 3,378 mg of omega-3 and since I can use the math of 6388 - 1655 = 4733, that means that if I eat an once of Almonds, I should also eat an once of Flax seeds so the ration comes down to approximately 1:1

Trying to figure out what I would like to do with . . .

How should I put Links that I want to save... - Should I do them one at a time ? 

How about Audio Book Notes... - I just want my notes on what was in the book. . . . . . . . . . . . 

Takes time to do . . . is it worth the effort?

The question is... - what do I have in.... on... and is it unlimited?

Food The Final Frontier of Health

What was once old is new again.




 

Be HEALTHY.


There are so many things that are killing the world, so what do you do when you find something that makes sense?  Duh!  You try to encourage that something.

This is not a site for everyone, but if you follow my messed up way of thinking, maybe you may to see the the simple rules and how they can change your life.

140 gram so Chick Peas
520 grams of H20
   ** Guess we will see how they turn out and adjust since I can not find anything out there that works the way I want

So, this says that it is 3 cups per cup of chick peas... how do I find the amount of water to cook them

I can find the nutrition data or I can check out on Cronometer and use that app to track my nutrition for the day, but how do I know how much water to add to 140 grams of Dried Chickpeas?

While looking for the water, I came across soaking the beans and wondered what would do with a side by side comparison, or a compare and contrast.

• Beans cooked with and without acid (vinegar/etc)
• Beans cooked with and without Salt

• Beans soaked over night in water vs cooked by themselves.

Supposedly the baking soda (alkali environment) allows the beans to absorb and hold more moisture and do so sooner than even the unadulterated water only cook process.

I wonder what the chemistry of Baking soda has to do with beans?

Soaking beans in plain water and then changing the water beforecooking is just as likely to help. There is evidence that adding baking soda reduces some nutrients, particularly vitamin B. Baking soda also can make the beans taste saltier or even soapy, so they should be rinsed very well if you use it. >>>

OK, that is a NO on using Baking Soda

Adding the following spices will help neutralize the gas-producing starches:
Ginger
Cumin
Fennel  <<<

2016.04.09 ** Just learned about a Thermal Cooker but the guys links are broken but there is a great image of the front of the cooker... than goes to saratogajacks.com and they have a video of how to cook.  Of course, I used Amazon to find a 7L version of the cooker.

Can you read the writing on the wall

My job offers something that I consider rare.

They give me access to a digital library, and in that library are books, some of which are audio books.

Being a Bibliophile I started listening to them and I am fairly sure that they have changed who I am and what I think as thoughts. I no longer wonder why someone does something, but instead wonder if they have damage to their thinking process, or I wonder if we are not in an experiment as crazy as Stanford 'Prison Experiment'.  I wonder at the lack of creativity in business's and if they shouldn't be looking for  a red-thread in their thinking.

Wonder what I have read this year, in Audio books.

Is that it? Only 99 books?  No, there are others that I listened to on YouTube where people have posted Nova Specials, as well as presentations in multiple topic areas and there is also the monthly presentations by select people at Skillsoft.  And that is just what I 'listen' to, and not what I read.  And only this year, 2015.

No wonder I feel alone, I don't have anyone to talk to about the thoughts that race through my head and the reason I would guess is that not many people listen to books or have the range that I do.  Did I make myself a pariah, an 'outlier' marooned in the distance of thought?   What is a reason to hire me?  I think.  what is a reason NOT to hire me? I think.  How can their be the same answers for different questions? Because, I think that thinking can be bad and good and depending on how you look at it, an Elephant can be a wall, a tree, or a snake.  Everything is relative and based on your point of view.

Melatonin that helps to regulate sleep which is a key factor in helping your body regulate ghrelin and leptin.

Ghrelin - Makes you feel hungry
Leptiin - Makes you feel full



Dr. Mercola says Consuming melatonin stimulates the appearance of "beige" fat, which, similar to brown fat, also helps your body to burn calories rather than store them.

Eating Melatonin rich foods can help block weight gain.
Leptiin
