RE: [h-cost] OT: Standard American Diet
Mine said that they found out that soy has a chemical that interfers with iodine absorbtion. A friend of mine was diagnosed with hypothyroid, she cut the foods out that inhibited iodine absorbtion and exercised and six months later her thyroid test came back negative and lost 13 lbs. but in her case her thyroid is still working. Another friend w/hypothyroid (age 67) said she was having problems with her meds slowly not doing the job. I told her of the food I was told to avoid or regulate and she tried for a month and found an some improvement with her meds. To me a healthy diet is one that works with your own body chemistry and genetics. You are correct that sometime even eating correctly to meet the problem doesn't always work. But I like to think that there is always hope in turning something around, we just haven't figured out what it is yet. The positive with me is learning which resturants use soy oil or canola and the cooks learn as well. Though one place when I asked, said salad oil and when I asked "but is it soy oil?" they said it is vegetable oil, not soy. One restuarant waitress went back to ask about the margerine and was told vegetable oil base and I said "soy or canola"? They read the fine print and found out it was soy based. This appearantly answered a problem with the owner's wife having problem as she is allegic to soy and she thought the margerine was corn oil based. De -Original Message- Greetings De.

Re: [h-cost] OT: Standard American Diet
And from the other end of the spectrum... My grandmother was raised in the south before we knew some of the things we know now about nutrition, fat, etc. Everything she ate as a child and cooked as an adult had bacon fat, butter, cream etc. Many dishes were fried and/or had gravy on them. I think you get the picture. She didn't "work out" and only received the exercise gained from house and yard work. She wasn't obese, but she wasn't stick thin either. She was a bit "fluffy" but by no means fat. And she lived to be 103 with no major health problems. She drove her own car well into her 90s and lived alone taking care of herself until she was 100. She never lost her mental awareness until she had the stroke that killed her. Genetics definitely plays a major role in things, as well.

She was a bit "fluffy" but by no means fat. I'm in the same boat - German heritage - lots of fried stuff, slices of butter on bread, butter fades into cakes by the pound As long as we were working on the farm or in construction all was well. That being said - the science is clear - ALL fats are unhealthy. Basically they stop your blood vessles from dilating for hours after you eat any fat. It dammages the walls, makes the platlets more sticky. Know anyone with a heart bypass yet? Truth is all of their arteries are clogged. The Vietnam soldiers who died in their early 20's all had signs of arteries clogging. Based upon that you can assume that everyone living a western diet has clogged arteries and should be on a no-added-fat diet. That being said; some people absorb lots of cholesterol from their diet and some pass it right thru like a carnivore. The science is not perfectly clear and never will be. We know that the more vegetarian the diet the healthier the people are. We know that WHOLE foods provide phytochemicals, fiber and a host of other things that help fight cancer, obesity etc. We know that active people eating such diets are never overweight (go to rural China some time); yet when they adopt our diet they adopt our diseases. Science is barking up the wrong tree by testing things in isolation. We now know that, chemically created vitamins increase cancer, heart disease and a host of other problems. The solution to our health problems is expensive drugs with nasty side effects and isolated chemical supplements. That's why I like Dr. John McDougalls take. Eat what our bodies are adapted to - a whole food, no added fat, mostly vegetarian diet. Eat foods that have generations of safe consumption behind them. For anyone with MS check out the Swank diet. For anyone with thyriod problems you really need to read what Dr. John McDougall has found in research. Slightly elevated thyroid hormone results in increased cholesterol and risk of strokes and heart attacks. You should treat before you are offically hypothyroid. Don't believe that soy & brassica and other things (sea weed) have anything to do with it - there is no science behind that; not unless you are deficient in iodine and with the amount of (iodized) salt we get in our diet that ain't a possible. Yes weight gain with hypothyroid is normal as is thickening of the skin There are a wack of symptoms and apparently it's usually an autoimmune disease and if you have one you'll likely get another. Read books by Mary Shomon for hints about dealing with the weight. I've been there, foods made no difference, but my cholesterol and weight came down on medication. Armour works better for some - again read the books by Mary Shomon. In my case if I take the Thyroxine 3 hours after eating it's as if I never took it - but it works if I take it an hour before eating. McDougall Hot Health Issues: http://www.drmcdougall.com/medical_hottopics.html McDougall Thyroid Summary: http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2005nl/december/thyroid.htm Recently I sorted my pants into two piles - those I could never wear again and those that I could only hold up with a belt.

RE: [h-cost] OT: Standard American Diet
OK, UK for me, but I was raised on pretty much a WW2 diet, if you put the bananas and stuff back in. S'what I got by being raised by my Nana, who trained as a cook just pre WW2, but did most of her cooking during and just after. I still started wearing a bra at 9. In reality for me my shape has less to do with what I eat, (goes back generations), and more to do with hereditary, and the fact I can't exercise as much as I should cos of a childhood injury (got hit by a bike and thus have knackered knees). That said, I'm lucky not to have the disease my dad had which demands a virtually 0 fat diet.

You are also broad brushing with your statements. <> De: chemically treated? please clarify and please cite your sources for the alleged increase in cancer and heart disease etc because of the "chemically" treated vitamins. <> De: "Eat what our bodies are adapted to" If you were to research old and ancient societies you would find that several were not "mostly vegetarian diet" And presently our bodies have adapted to modern diets ranging from carnivore to Vegan. By the way, I'm not allergic but whole wheat stuff doesn't agree with my stomach so I guess I am not adapted to whole wheat. <<< Don't believe that soy>>> De: Again, there is a chemical in soy that interferes with iodine absorption. Iodine is needed for http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/iodine.htm All cells in the body need iodine for proper functioning. All glands (thyroid, adrenal, etc.) especially need iodine for the production of hormones. Dr. Brownstein believes that iodine deficiency is a major cause of breast cancer and other diseases of the reproductive organs such as ovarian, uterus and prostrate cysts and cancers. Iodine levels in US soil have fallen 50 per cent over the past 50 years and soil in the US is deficient in iodine. The Great Lakes region has some of lowest soil iodine levels in the world and this results in high levels of cancers related to iodine deficiency. Dr. Brownstein has been quite successful in treating fibrocystic breast disease (cysts in the breast) with iodine/iodine supplementation. In one case a 37 year-old woman with severe fibrocystic breast disease was completely cured after supplementing with 50 mgs of iodine a day for two months. Women with larger breasts need more iodine than women with smaller breasts. Other medical authorities agree that iodine deficiency can lead to fibrocystic breast disease and/or ovarian cysts. <& brassica > De: Has been found to help in cancer prevention, it also has a chemical that inhibits iodine absorption. <(sea weed) have anything to do with it - there is no science behind that;> De: Kelp contains iodine and iron. There are studies that prove that Kelp can be beneficial in helping the body to maintain good health. There has been one European study, kelp was found to help with the effectiveness of hormone meds for hypothyroid and lessen the dosage in several cases. Not a cure but something to help. > De: Again a broad brushing assumption. My intake of iodinized salt (salt in general) was lessened 15 yrs ago (voluntarily and not for medical reasons). 5 yrs ago I had to go back to it. 18 yrs ago I was getting sea salt before it became nutritionally fashionable. By the way there are several types of hypothyroid. One is Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I do not has this but my friend does and it was caused by medication that she took when a child. I will check out this Dr. McDougall but so far he does not impress me and causes my "something not quite kosher" radar to blink. I will check out Ms Shomon as well.
