Re: too much of a good thing?

February 1, 2001

Thanks for asking this question because I was wondering the same thing. I

haven't been doing to much butter, it cost over $5.00 a pound here for the

organic butter and I can't afford too much of it. But I have been frying

more than usual (in olive oil) and normally I try not too fry as a habit.

Also I have been eating more eggs than I normally would. Seems as there

sould be a limit to the fat thing.

Also I can not seem to convince my father who has high blood pressure,

diabetes and heart problems that saturated fats are good for him. He is a

Kloss fan and Price is new to both of us.

My children also have many cavities as I mentioned before. My diet was

also the low fat and mostly vegetarian diet.

Can some one please a basic explanation of the sprouting process. Is it

difficult to do? Does it take long?

Thanks everyone,

Kareemah

You and your father should read " The Schwarzbein Principle " by

Schwarzbein. You can find it in most any bookstore. She also has a cookbook

out that is excellent. It's works really well in combination with Nourishing

Traditions. The Schwarzbein principle is written by a medical doctor that

was working at a medical clinic in California that had a reputation for

having been the premier diabetes center in the US during the 1920s. What she

discovered was that the high carbohydrate, low-fat, low-protein diets the

American Diabetes Association was recommending was actually making diabetics

worse not better and would eventually lead to a number of degenerative

diseases including heart disease. It's an excellent, easy to read book.

Once you read it you will be hooked! I follow the Nourishing Traditions book

and apply the schwarzbein principles of balance to it. Good luck!

how much is too much, or is there one.

I do not know if there is too much. When my sister makes cookies she lets

her 2 yo eat as much of a stick of butter as she wants. She's helping mom cook.

That is just wonderful that you've switched over from vegetarian! I think

that vegetarian has some good points, they've brought back the importance

of vegetables in our diets and a lot of good recipes as well. Why did you

decide to make this switch, I'd be interested in knowing what your turning

point was.

Since I dont have " the book " yet, I got my sprouting directions from the

Wild Oats website www.wildoats.com. There is also www.cityfarmer.org.

I did let mine go a bit too long & ended up a little closer to grass....

live & learn.

a, since I wasnt an ethical vegetarian I always listened to my bodies

needs and after my first son was born I seemed to NEED a lot of

hamburgers! I also went thru a depression and did not find the joy or

creativity in cooking that I had previously & do again; therefore, I was

using a lot of " helper " style foods.

There is a wonderful, different, dental care method at www.price-

pottenger.org I did not know what it was, but ordered the book ($10)

and toothbrush ($2) and am extremely pleased. I and my husband have a

lot of problems with our gums and teeth. All dentists should know and

pass this on.

I had to laugh when I read your sister's two year gets to eat all the butter

she wants when making cookies. We used to set one day aside a year where the

kids could eat butter by the spoonful. It always made me gag but that was

when we were buying margarine thinking it was the same as butter. Now that

we are buying good quality butter I find myself sticking my finger in it for

a sample every now and then!!!

My wife laughs at me when I put butter on my sprouted grain toast...

I put on four pats of butter, each about 1/2 " thick.

We both increased our butter intake. She used to eat dry toast, now she uses

a normal helping of butter on the toast. I went from using a normal amount

to " super-sized " .
