cauliflower why some just dont like it.

Cauliflower is one of those veggies you either love it or don't. and one of the reasons most people don't is cause they are making it wrong. when they are trying to make low carb /keto food cooking it brings out all of its natural gases and smells pretty bad plus leaves a different taste to it. when making let's say cauliflower rice or even pizza crust what should be done is drain and squeeze all the juice out of it as much as you can. you can put it in a cheesecloth or nut bag or even a clean dishcloth and do it that way and proceed to make your dish. you will notice the taste is very different then. You should also flavor it with seasonings /spices and play around with it. and if that doesn't work for you yet try one of the other thousands of veggies :)

Debunking the Myths Around Margarine

Margarine is one molecule away from plastic.”

This is by far one of the more popular myths. Simply put: This is not true. Many substances share similar chemical structures or compositions, but it’s the variations in these structures or ways they are arranged that make a difference in their properties and to the end product. Most types of margarine are blends of vegetable oils, while plastics are usually a polymer (chain of repeating molecules) of ethylene molecules (four hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms). Even if they were both made from vegetable oil the variation in their chemical structures would result in different end products. So adding another molecule to margarine does not turn it into plastic. The bottom line is that many substances share similar chemical properties but even the smallest variation can set them a world apart in terms of what they are.                                                                                                Margarine is hydrogenated for longer shelf life and contains trans fats.

We know from years of research that trans and saturated fats increase LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) and lower HDL cholesterol (“good” cholesterol). As a result, manufacturers have created non-hydrogenated, trans fat-free soft margarine, which is now widely available. These margarines are made from vegetable oils such as canola, olive, soybean and safflower, which contain polyunsaturated fats that may help lower your cholesterol level, whereas butter, lard and shortening contain saturated fat that can increase your cholesterol level.

Truvia sweetener a powerful pesticide

scientists shocked as fruit flies die in less than a week from eating GMO-derived erythritolTruvia sweetener is made from about 99.5% erythritol (a sugar alcohol), and 0.5% rebiana, an extract from the stevia plant (but not at all the same thing as stevia). A shocking new study published in the journal PLOS ONE (1) has found that Truvia, an alternative sweetener manufactured by food giant Cargill, is a potent insecticide that kills fruit flies which consume it.                                                                                                                             The study is titled, Erythritol, a Non-Nutritive Sugar Alcohol Sweetener and the Main Component of Truvia, Is a Palatable Ingested Insecticide.                                                                                               The study found that while fruit flies normally live between 39 and 51 days, those that ate the Truvia ingredient erythritol died in less than a week.

Erythritol made from yeast fed genetically modified corn derivatives

Erythritol is often indirectly derived from genetically modified corn, by the way. Cargill was forced to settle a class action lawsuit last year (2) for labeling Truvia “natural” when it’s actually made from a fermentation process whereby yeast are fed GM corn maltodextrin.                                        

Truvia a really amazing insecticide

This story on Truvia’s insecticidal properties has really caught the attention of the public. Even CBS News (3), a mainstream media outlet that rarely covers the dangers of food additives, covered this story, reporting:

Erythritol, the main component of the sweetener truvia, has a new, unexpected application — it may be used as an insecticide. …Researchers found that fruit flies fed with food that included erythritol or the erythritol-containing sweetener Truvia died much sooner than flies fed with food containing other types of sweeteners. http://livingtraditionally.com/truvia-sweetener-powerful-pesticide-scientists-shocked-fruit-flies-die-less-week-eating-gmo-derived-erythritol-1/

The worst low carb support group on facebook is...

Atkins Diet - Low Carb  POSITIVE Support Group. I cannot believe that there are so many people in this group that put others down for being overweight . today one of the users posted a picture of three girls that were a bit overweight and then several of them attacked her and were acting like kids by making bad comments when they were all bigger in size than them. The admins did nothing and this picture was there over 24 hours and i know of three people that reported it. Why start a support group to just attack people? so so wrong : ( and this was not the first time i had seen this kind of behavior in this group KARMA WILL GET YOU
