I don't quite get that carrots can be good and other root vegetables *can* be bad. I don't get why fibre can be bad other than because it feeds bacteria. I don't get that so called "good bacteria" that produce CO2 can be bad, and that the fibre which allows them to produce this is bad. Why does medicine even name some bacteria good, and some bacteria bad? Do the good bacteria even produce endotoxin?
So many questions... But, I've been thinking about adding a variety of vegetables back into my diet. Sweet potato, pumpkin, radishes, zucchini, beetroot, cucumber, leek, onion, garlic, ginger, tumeric, well cooked baby kale or spinach, shallots, capsicum, chilli, lemongrass, herbs. I love them, and life's more enjoyable being able to share dinner with people. Surely they are not that bad. My family and doctor think I'm silly not eating them, thinking this contributes to my poor health. I know modern medicine is frowned upon around here, and I understand why, but where are the studies saying that vegetables pose a health risk?
Also, it was probably a load of rubbish, but the other day I found a website saying that estrogenic foods such as herbs are okay as they bind to estrogen receptors, and have less activity than that of the estrogen the body produces. I'd have to see what the studies say, has anyone read any about estrogenic foods other than the major ones like soy & flaxseed?
Thoughts?
