Getting wildcrafted & OG greens helps insure that we're getting enough - a nutritionally minded doc in town comments that his patients RARELY have strokes or heart attacks, he's a strong proponent of getting sufficient, high quality Magnesium. Women in the US tend to get ~ 1/2 the RDA (which is low to begin with) & men ~ 2/3 - phosphate fertilizers interfere with the plants' uptake of Mag, which is one of the reasons to seek out OG greens!

I have spent enormous amounts of time reading through your information and suggestions. I have ordered and attempted to order what is recommended. On January 9th I placed an order with Green Smoothie Girl. Today is February 1 and I have yet to hear anything or get what I ordered in the mail. On January 7 and 9 I emailed craig@greensmoothiegirl.com for information on ordering a ionic water filter. I have yet to receive an email from him. My order was quite large because I ordered a case of the suggested green drink. I hope to get a reply from you. Hello Robyn,

Mostly plants. Read Ch. 4 of my 12 Steps about what I think of the low-fat movement. We need healthy fats, absolutely. Nuts, seeds, avocado, small amounts of unprocessed nutritious oils like olive and coconut and flax--wonderful sources. All of these things contribute to heart disease: too much animal protein (20% is the Standard American Diet) is just part of the nightmare, HFCS being another part.

It is chemically similar to distilled spirits. It is rough on the liver, is hard to assimilate, causes fatty liver and is probably the single biggest cause of what is known as Metabolic Syndrome. High blood pressure, diabetes, overweight, coronary heart disease and other related problems are what make up Metabolic Syndrome. People have been eating meat for millions of years yet this is a new disease. What has changed? In the 70's the beverage companies changed over to HFCS because sugar costs had skyrocketed. I am not saying that a vegetarian-like diet won't help, but if he does not cut out ALL HFCS he will be wasting his time. Heart disease is probably NOT caused by eating meat. This is a myth caused by bad science. We are eating 20% less animal fat today per capita than we were in the 80's yet heart disease has gone off the chart. That simply does not compute. If your doing the same thing time after time and expecting a different result you will be disappointed, i.e. low fat has not been working for 30 years. Going lower fat or no animal fat at all is dangerous. We need fat for our brains, connective tissue and organs.
