I still find ray's claim that beans could cause CFS somewhat suspect. I think most cases the inital stress that causes it is viral or some kind of infectious agent. but I still think it's good to avoid beans while already this sick. Just had some for the first time in awhile, merely out of politeness, and i'm floored, digestion worse, just feel way more tiredMung beans and lentils have very little PUFA, some magnesium, larger amounts of manganese and almost the RDA for folate in one serving (1 cup).
Lentils have better nutritional value.
“Two features of mitochondrial damage in severe stress (regardless of whether endotoxin is involved) are a depletion of the antioxidant reserves, and loss of the ability to convert cholesterol into the protective steroid hormones. Mitochondrial damage is more likely in hypothyroidism, as I have discussed previously; thyroxin inhibits lipid peroxidation, end it tends to be inversely related to adrenalin, preventing or minimizing “catecholamine toxicity,” for example. Beans and lentils happen to be powerful anti-thyroid agents, so it isn’t surprising to see indications of decreased aerobic capacity, resulting from decreased peak oxygen consumption in association with the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), if that syndrome is caused by chronic exposure to dietary legumes.”

Beans and the majority of starchs give me headache, gas, bad digestion, bad humor, ability to solve problems reduced and abdominal pain.
Yes, surprisingly well.Anyone else do fine with legumes?
What is your diet, if you don’t mind a brother asking? I’m on the same page. Beans, for me, are the top ‘no’ food. I use my experience each time I have them to remind myself further as to why I should never eat them. It’s a violation to my wellbeing & soul. As well as my poor gut, that has to deal with the insult that will go through my system during that 24 hour period. A truly horrible food.
no. let's NOT just google things.Glyphosate in our Food II: Highest Levels in Legumes & Cereals because of Farming “Dry-Down”
Just Google lentils Glyphosate or legumes etc.
+1 LOLno. let's NOT just google things.
LETS look at it Collectively through PEAT eyes and gather info and consolidate..
My hair has also stopped shedding and feels very smooth and not overly oily. I think this is due to increased protein through beans and meat and I stopped consuming dairy. I have determined that milk is not good for me after an independent experiment where I drank a glass of 1% milk and promptly felt drugged. I am slightly concerned about calcium but for the meantime I will ride it out.
Wouldn't surprise me if this is an issue for some people.Somewhat off the subject but I'm willing to bet your issue with milk and why most people have issue with milk is that because consuming garbage commercial brands that in particular are homogenized.
I agree. I grew up drinking lots of relatively fresh unhomogenised milk, which was the standard available to all at that time. The standard homogenised milk now commonly available is not the same at all. (Don't know if the change in quality contributed to my difficulties with dairy, but I can't handle better quality dairy well now either.)Not all milk is made equal, not all OJ is made equal, etc..
Could be for some. I notice I react better to eating ripe oranges than I do to drinking any of the many brands of OJ I've bought.when you look at foods in the lens of quality, you start to understand how people eat "peat-y foods" and yet crash and burn.
I doubt tehre is anything that is the perfect food for everybody in all states. Once people have become out of balance or damaged, or perhaps sometimes have variant phenotypes, we may have different needs.Milk is the perfect food just about... if it's consumed as nature intended.
I think it may take more than just rebellion - it may require organising the system to produce better food. Which I think is a great idea, and quite a task, requiring the cooperation of very many people.Hopefully we can start a mass "food rebellion" and force industry to change their ways.
I understand that there are some nasty regulations that get in the way of people pursuing good healthful goals. But remember the history of regulation before being to quick to throw it all out.Doesn't help we have garbage institutions like the FDA that makes it very difficult to get healthy foods like raw milk.
