Alobar/ Soy Lecithin question

November 19, 2008

Was your last line being sarcastic or what? I thought I understood all this

and could make sense of it, but your last couple of sentences did lose me a

bit..... So I thought I would ask for clarification.

What did you used to eat the brains to obtain? Are you saying that soy

lecithin replaces that for you now? What is your purpose in consuming it?

I probably should have explained myself more in depth, but I was in a hurry.

Back when I was a kid (7th grade) my IQ tested at 114. A relative

told me that I would have a hard time in college unless I somehow got

smarter.

When I went with my mother to the butcher, I saw pig brains in the

display case. I liked them because I was into monster movies. But

I also figured that if I ate brains, I might get smarter. So I asked

my mother to buy me some brains.

She had no clue how to prepare brain. The butcher overheard my

mother and told her how to cook brain. She bough one small brain.

She figured I would not want to eat it. But she was wrong. I loved

brains! So I got brains 2 or 3 times a month.

When I was a junior in highschool, my IQ got tested again. My IQ was over 140.

I sure have no idea if eating brains made me smarter, but I can think

of no other dietary changes. My mother never fed me vitamins. I

ate standard American diet of meat, potatoes, and veggies. Nothing

exotic.

As an adult, I ate brains at least twice a month until the " Mad Cow "

scare prevented me from obtaining them. A friend who was a health

nut suggested I try lecithin because it contained Phosphatidyl Choline

and Phoshpatidyl Inositol, which are important brain nutrients.

Before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I drank a big smoothie every

morning, to which I added 1 or 2 tablespoons of Lecithin. At first,

I thought lecithin tasted pretty gross. But an ex-lover turned me on

to Lecithin from labs, which tasted much better.

http://www.lewis-labs.com/products/lecithin.htm.

Now that I am diabetic, I can't drink fruit smoothies. I have not

found a good way to eat lecithin regularly, but I have it once in a

while.

I really miss brains!

Wow, that was definitely interesting. My only main comment is that I have a

close close friend whose daddy made them brains for breakfast a lot (out of

a can, I believe). She has one of the highest IQ¹s of anyone I¹ve ever met.

Her daddy never even finished high school and I never met him, but he

sounded intelligent (but he ate the brains too!) and her mother......I'm not

sure she ate the brains...

So its definitely an interesting theory!

I should google it now...but I¹m headed to do something else. Maybe I will

remember later.....

Chantelle

Ps-so protein smooties or the like, there must be a reason you can¹t add

your lecithin to those or a green smoothie or one sweetened with stevia or

something????? I know you have your eating very dialed in, so I¹m not really

making these suggestions, just curious to hear the answers is more like

it.....

Pss-I have trouble remembering that you are diabetic....

My mom grew up in a small town in Arizona and ate calf brains and scrambled eggs

for breakfast a lot. She said they were delicious but I never tried them.

Organ meats are supposed to be really good for us --see the paleo diet.

I¹m sure glad they are good for us, because I sure have enjoyed all of them

that I¹ve tried!

Chantelle

Ps- I think I asked you this before Xena, but what ws the small town she

grew up in? (I live in mesa is why I am asking. I have been to a lot of the

smaller towns around AZ...i love to travel around my state) The small towns

here are quite fascinating! Very different from the midwest. I¹ve lived here

as long as I lived in the midwest now though (going on 20 years)

Pss-my friend was in NC and that¹s what this guy did, mixed the brains with

scrambled eggs or fixed them together anyway. I imagine he grew up eating

that fresh when they would butcher, but they lived in town so he made it for

the kids from the can. My friend sent me a can but I never opened

it.....fresh I would be more likely to be ready to try.....

I eat lecithin granules from a tablespoon, and actually like it. Taste

is a funny thing, I can't eat coconut oil from a spoon.

My dad ate that too. But no way us kids would ever touch them. Made me

sick just to look at them, even cooked.

Alobar, I would NOT trust that ANY meat these days is in fact vegetarian

fed. Too much corruption, not to mention simple error, or veg fed meats

being processed on the same equipment without proper cleaning. Too much

risk for me, even if I wanted to eat them, which I don't. Where I live

there is a lot of the wild game version of mad cow, and I've read of

people in the southern U.S. getting BSE from eating squirrel brains. I

would no longer accept or eat any wild game from hunter friends here,

because I don't know if the people who processed it butcher it carefully

enough.
