I can barely choke-down an American corn-syrup coke, the Mexican cane-sugar version is significantly better. We can blame politicians for that one.

Yea, not a fan of battery ingredients either, nor radiator additives for that matter.

Funny, originally...coke-a-cola was a good thing...then like all things...it went south with the rest of the anti-civilization we live in.

That's My motto as well...interesting name, "wifezilla", by the way.

I had a wonderful basic breakfast at a diner with my (elderly) father yesterday. Simple moderately-sized Belgian waffle with bananas and pecans on top. No whippy-cream, no gobs of sugary syrup, etc. Sure I could have went for the big-ass breakfast for the same price, but the crispy waffle with the fresh fruit and some pecans - fantastic, and I didn't over-do it.

People (including my past-self) struggle with moderation it seems like. Anything is probably fine, I just prefer to avoid stuff with ingredients that are probably shared with a car battery.

I also enjoy a beer a couple of evenings a week, and have cut back my soda consumption to maybe 24 ounces a week, I do really like old-fashioned mexican-imported coca cola, as well as the occasional bourbon-sour. I drink much more water than I did in my youth - probably 3 cups of coffee a day (straight-black) and at least 8-10 glasses of water. Here in the west though, the water is critical. My general rule of thumb, if I'm peeing and it's a little or very yellow, drink more water.

True enough. It's surprising we haven't completed that circle, admitting that just a spoon full of Real, unprocessed sugar from sugar cane a day is beneficial and there is no need to aid any medicine going down.
One serving, (subjective) of processed sugar...mostly from corn, halts the body's ability to clean out the dead cells in one's brain...gives new meaning to being a "S**t" head! hahahah

I agree -

The narrative gets distorted by agenda, not facts.

If government subsidizes it, don't eat it. (*Includes anything that contains wheat, soy, corn, beets, sugar... basically high carbohydrate foods)

How one feels afterward is a big part but not always conclusive. A good rule of thumb is if one gets bloated...if you do, you ate something that's not good for you.

My main problem is that I burn calories like no tomorrow...just can't get or afford enough but can't do it with traditional fair...bloating...but a good clean piece of red meat is like a miracle medicine for me...laughing, maybe one of my ancient ancestors had a tryst with a Neanderthal; mankind did not evolve from them, they were a separate species but, it was recently discovered that they existed after the flood right up into the early times of Israel, so it wouldn't be surprising if we intermingled.
It's interesting just how much of our history has been lost or purposely confounded.

Then there was the artificial sweeteners controversy. First it was saccharine then the cyclamates which replaced it. Tests with lab rats proved that you would get cancer, then it was discovered that the replacement was even worse. In both cases a human would have to drink @ fifteen cans a day for twenty years to show the effects. What was good became bad then became good again because the alternative was worse. Fifteen cans a day for twenty years, really now, what were they thinking? Too many studies were like that and then those who do these studies wonder why no one takes them seriously!

My governing principle is if the meal makes me feel like shit afterward or not. If it does, it's probably not good for me. In my case, it seems like if it required "processing" I'm probably not going to be a fan of it.

Most things I have found are fine - take the BS about 'red meat' that we went through for a while. I've found a nice slice of tri-tip on a salad to be fantastic, filling, and is actually quite low in calories. If consumed with the greens and veggies, there is nothing wrong with it. Look at the 'vegans' - while they tend to be 'skinny', they are also low-energy people in general. Humans are omnivores and we need to respect our dietary requirements. I'm not going to criticize the decisions of others, I'm just saying that maximum health requires a diversity of proteins, minerals, and nutrients.

Getting back to the steak, I don't think the suspected health problems were with 'steak' as much as the goopy stuff and the "meat and potatoes" diet that was common at the time. The starches in the potato and the huge calories and cholesterol in the goopy gravies were far worse than the steak was. Fast forward to modern times... I don't think I've seen a 'baked potato' from a restaurant that was actually 'baked' in a very long time, they deep fry those things now, people think they are getting something healthier than they really are- then they load the things with sour cream, chives, butter, etc.. pretty soon it's a 1500 calorie greaseball.

So, I don't 'reject' different types of food necessarily, but I know or suspect how various things are prepared, and how it will tear up my innards for the next 12 hours if I consume it, so I stick to the basics. With the exception of coffee and a few other staples, I sort of follow the paleo diet.

Absence of evidence should not be confused with evidence of absence (of validity).

Good for you...

Only 100 years of knowledge, studies, gold standard experiments, Validation from the DNA folks, not to mention anthropological historical evidence, not to mention, epigenetic investigations as well...the lamestream allopathic idiots want everyone to be the same and None of them have investigated nor observed just how different our guts are from one another dictated not by genetics but by bloodtype.

It's just the way our species has evolved...all this has been proven, observed, duplicated and repeatable...not to mention, the observed results of over 10 million people using this knowledge in practice.

It's made a profound difference in my life and everyone I know that gave it an honest try. I have not had so much as a sniffle in over 25 years when prior to that, I was always getting something, not to mention bad reactions to everything I was told to take.
I am Done with the allopathic sickness careless, symptom only medical complex; Doing for and against the body instead of doing with the body, allowing it to do which it can do for itself.

It's not the end to end all inquiry...it's just the place to start and that which all else be compared to.
It's been plain to see that one mans medicine is another mans poison. An observation made 1000's of years ago and still valid today.

Me dino is definitely the smartest.
Not only do I know what a number is, I can ad 2+2.

I laugh every time I see or hear all this hog wash. The longest lived individuals in my family all made it into their 90s and most smoked and drank alcohol and ate what ever they liked. The ones who lived the healthier life styles are the ones who went early. After cancer and heart disease the number one killer is STRESS! Don't worry, be happy!

Eh.. I gave up carbohydrates for the most part, I don't eat french fries anymore, no toast, very little dairy, had pasta yesterday for the first time in maybe 4 months, haven't had fast food in a year, except for an occasional Chipotle or Chik Fil A. I eat mostly salad and high quality meats, veggies, produce, and high-fiber cereal for breakfast, wild game during hunting seasons, I feel awesome. No heartburn, no indigestion, regular as a wall clock, etc.

I didn't do that out of doctors' orders, I just got tired of the bloated feeling or heart burn all the time.

One other critical change I made - I roast my own coffee... the freshness improves the taste about 10,000%, and I have no desire for creams, milks, etc., so I'm able to enjoy several cups all day long and not have the dairy that can cause heartburn & whatever. I don't care for the taste of butter or salt, no problems there, I've never cared for either as a condiment. I do a lot of Monterrey types seasonings on steak or shrimp when grilled, same with an occasional burger.

There, there, Sir Dino. Take heart in being the alpha-dinosaur.

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that blood type diets are valid. The findings by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concludes: No evidence currently exists to validate the purported health benefits of blood type diets. To validate these claims, studies are required that compare the health outcomes between participants adhering to a particular blood type diet (experimental group) and participants continuing a standard diet (control group) within a particular blood type population.

Oih say, me dino aka Sir Dino Allosaurus, Esq., is not only the epitome of my species, but, alas, the doyen of all dinosauri, Sniff!!

we could return to eating all natural products from the soil to hunting in the bush and the seas. that would be great for population control and medicare since in the long run we live shorter lives.

Years ago I briefly listened to the research concerning food and looked at my grandparents. They ate whatever they liked typically loaded with real butter and lard. They were in their 80's and their parents had mostly lived into their 90's. So I did the one thing that we are not supposed to do. I thought it through for myself and decided that if they could eat the way that they had and live as long as they had. That any extra time I might or might not gain by modifying my diet was irrelevant and my quality of life was more important than the quantity. An enjoyable meal today is better than some minor amount of time extension at the end of my life.

Cool, you could save them...then...you could eat up all the Nephilim rulers, which would stop them from mating with anything that moved...including us, therefore eliminating their and their descendants ruling over us.
Just think...no more parasitical humanoids in government.

There's a time machine in the Alley Oop comic strip.

Like the analogy.

That's funny. I think that the tar pits must have held the same fascination for unintelligent small-brained animals much as the safe spaces do today for the misguided snowflakes. They both ensnare gullible beings. BTW, Allosaur, this is no reflection on you. You are the exception to your ancestors.
