Amongst all this discussion there needs to be a recognition of individual tolerance for given foodstuffs.

My father most days drank a full bottle of full fat cream, chose meat for its fat content, and fried rather than grilled many foods. He was never overweight, never had any raised cholesterol or cardiovascular disease.

EXACTLY! Everyone reacts differently, so its hard to say you need x amount of carbs or protein, or eat x amount of this or that. Some things work great for me, but might cause health problems with the next person. I bet your father had heaps of energy too.
 
Re: What are the 8 white poisonous foods we eat

Ahead of us in the supermarket queue yesterday was a grossly obese woman in probably her 40's. She was just huge.
I couldn't help being fascinated by what she was buying:
10 x 1.25 litre fizzy drinks (all regular variety, none diet)
5 loaves white bread
3 packets of buns with pink icing
2 layer cakes
2 large bags of frozen chips
2 tubs margarine
2 large packs of sausages

No fresh vegetables. Only fruit was a large bag of bananas (all starch/sugar).

Hey isn't this the year of the potato!! THey're supposed to be wonder food, I read if you eat them with skin on, then they are designed perfectly to give you the right balance of protein and carbs!

Our supermarket shopping trolley is full of crap like that because we buy all our fresh fruit veg and meats from other places

its called marketing jono, but to be fair there are some better ones starting to appear - the irish lived on little else for decades so must be good - ummm, scratch that.

the push for the spud is that it is OK as a subsistence food - ie starve or something to eat, but add the white fluffy type to the excess of highly processed carbs we already eat in the west and it is not good

Are you serious? You really eat that stuff in those quantities?
 
Re: What are the 8 white poisonous foods we eat

hey guys - how about white rice?... is it really that bad?

- The japanese were - maybe still are - the longest lived race in the world for a long time - most of them eat rice with every meal - and the vast majority of it is white rice. they worship the stuff.

Their longevity is declining - and height & weight increasing - now that their diet is becoming more westernised, with more wheat flour and less rice .... Maccas, KFC and all that crapola creeping in. Sad to see young fat japanese kids waddling around.

I also noticed my digestion was alot healthier when I lived there and ate rice 2 or 3 times a day.

Of course lots of oily fish and seaweed don't hurt either. They also love sweet potatoes - mostly the orange ones - though the Okinawans have a bright purple fleshed one (ben-imo) that is very sweet and used in icecreams and other deserts and cakes.... probably not so healthy!

suspect it is a bit like the potato D, eat it as your primary/almost sole source of carbs and its OK, add it to the rest of your high carb intake and its additional bad news.
Yes the okinawans have a reputation for the longest healthy lives and that has been attributed to brown rice but a lengthy study a few years back suggested no, due to their active hard working lives where they put 10 -11 hrs/day in the fields - when they get to eighty they cut back to 7 or 8.
study also found they loved their meat - eating every part of the animal.
report then looked (as you say) the current crop of teens who were downtown almost daily and into the Bigmacs - they didn't look good

Re: What are the 8 white poisonous foods we eat

I will mention one ...garlic..
I have attempted to grow my own garlic, and have heard that no one has successfully
grown garlic in our town.
It will grow but not form bulbs.
Why because white garlic imported is treated with chemicals such as chlorine
dioxide or benzayl peroxide. To whiten the product and prevent it from shooting.
Also growth inhibitors, and gamma radiation extend the shelf life.
If I am not successful this year I will purchase a couple of documents from a Australian grower.
I am determined to produce my own. I use no poisons in my garden, but use "wild may" for fruit fly.

Currently I am growing white and red Russian garlic with bulbs from an organic store.
I think the majority of garlic grown in Australia is snapped up by restaurants etc.

Re: What are the 8 white poisonous foods we eat

Hi Mate,

A couple of tips for you:

1) Try buying "Australian Garlic" from Woolies. It's $12-22/kg and is actually a hybrid variety (with a French garlic) and is grown in Australia and usually isn't treated. I've grown this for years and always get heads the size of my palm or bigger. It was specially developed for Australia and grows really well here.

2) Choose a spot with full sun and prepare a very rich (compost + fertliser + dolomite + trace elements) free draining soil (very important)

3) Put the seed heads in the fridge crisper or leave outside in a dry shady spot until they all produce green shoots, then separate and plant so the green is above ground. Plant as early as possible (for your climate zone) as needs to be in the vegetative state for as long as possible to produce a good bulb.

4) Feed every week with seaweed emulsion in water

5) Stop feeding later on (bulbling phase) and only give the absolute minimum amount of water at that time

6) When the leaves start dying down, bend them over onto the ground and leave until 80% brown, then pick, shake soil off and hang in an airy place out of sunlight to cure a bit

7) Refer to this document for some excellent information on growing garlic:

Best wishes,

Just as a matter of interest, today I visited WOW, IGA and COLES.
No garlic from Australia.
But garlic from Mexico and China.

That's no good. I wonder what the issue is?

I get mine from WOW, though mind you, I haven't bought any for a while since I retain a bunch of heads for my subsequent crops.

Are there any farmers markets that you can get to? It is sometimes possible to find good varieties at growers markets, though it is worth confirming with the person that it is a French hybrid. Another way is to look online, as I recall a couple of boutique sites where in existence. Also, if you have friends or family around the country, perhaps ask if they could keep an eye out in store and send it over in a post parcel box, etc It shouldn't be a problem to get your hands on some good stock.

I am aware of where to buy it online, but I must order before it is all accounted for. It appears that all garlic produced in Australia is snapped up quickly.
No producers up North as far as I am aware of. Have to visit the tablelands.
No matter, as I am doing a trial this year, and will get more fair dink-um next year. Have 40 plants going of two species

thanks for help!. joea
 
Re: What are the 8 white poisonous foods we eat

Perhaps take the issue up with the Woolworths store concerned. My local WOW always has Australian garlic as well as the others available, and this is a regional centre.
