Primus Pilus Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 The other sugar substitute causing problems is aspartame. Though some say its pure evil, others say its heaven sent. Who knows, either way I don't plan on living much past 87 (relatively speaking of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docoflove1974 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 avoid chocolate under 70 percent cocoa fat solids If it ain't dark chocolate, it ain't worth it eat cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, garlic , cayenne, clove, spelt bread, good red wine , loads of fresh fish, wild meats (venison, boar) , artichoke, spinach,leeks , scallops, olives, anything your Granny says is good! Agreed with all of the above...although I never much cared for venison. Scallops are out for other reasons, as are all other shellfish. And as for "anything your Granny says is good"...well, mine was a crap-tastic cook, and loved avocados *blech* But, she did like her martinis...

M. Porcius Cato Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 flouride in toothpaste or water ( alzheimers) You sure about this one Pertinax? Seems like the risk of Alzheimer's (if there really is any) has to be weighed against the benefits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 The answer on fluoride seems to be , there is a "time window" for the nutrient deficient (as children) when it helps with bone mass, but for adults on a reasonable diet it actually decreases mass . It is a banned toxic substance in several European countries.The problem is really getting "proper food" to kids and getting them to clean their teeth, like many other types of state intervention the unintended effects are worrying. My personal gripe is, that when the state says "we will put a chemical in the water to help everyone" I get a very bad feeling about the state.If an elderly person has osteoporosis some more "modest "chemical organoflourine drugs are much more effective than flluoridation of the whole water supply , the other treatment is to walk vigorously and keep muscle mass (thence wet bone mass). If they put bison grass vodka in the water I would probably be much happier. If flourine gas kills at 0.1 % unit presence do I feel good about it?

M. Porcius Cato Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Leaving aside the issue of state-sponsored flouridation, have there been replicated findings of fluoridated water causing Alzeheimer's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
