Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Oh, I did want to perhaps refine some of Dr. D's recs on the beneficial veggies. According to the Metab. Type authors(there " HB " goes again with another " diet cult " )the presence of oxalic acid in many of them tasty weeds(chard{swiss?},beet greens, beets, endive, GREEN PEPPERS,spinach,asparagus{and the broccoli-asparagus hybrid too?}, & EVEN TOMATOES) & some other veggies too......(I bet the escarole is in there too)......BOTTOMLINE, if you're a PROTEIN TYPE, they recommended that you COOK these to eliminate the oxalic acid. What's wrong with oxalic acids you say? Apparently it interferes with the absorption of calcium. MIXED TYPE people tend to have more freedom though. Why? I have no clue. OVERALL, I say listen to your instinct. I have gotten " sick " after eating many times these items cold and have experienced a GAGGING FEELING. Many times even if I've cooked these various veggies,, the whole salty/chalky taste of it would repel me. How bout you guys? jb(oh, I get it, " ham bone " / " highly beneficial " ....took me a while to get it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
