Controlling Seizures With Raw Foods

[RobinN]

I am cross posting this article in a few places. It is quite relevant to what is being discussed

The human brain runs entirely off of glucose, so it is natural to some extent to crave sweets. However, while we do need sugar daily in the form of seeded fruit, refined sugar and concentrated cooked starches (carbohydrates) are more of a drug than food.

I'll be sharing this with everyone I know and on all the health forums I'm active in. It is disappointing and maddening My son loves baby carrots. I told him that I could buy the regular carrots and cut them up for him. I feel bad because I took away all processed junk from my house, thinking fresh fruits and veggies are safe. Then I had to explain to my son yesterday why I was taking away one of his favorite snacks.

I've followed up on this and found that the same can be said about any pre-cut veggie including bagged salad greens. Here's some more info found at Ideal Bite. We sacrifice health for convenience.

I have been trying to find out if organic mini carrots are also "soaked"

[LivingFruity]

From what I'm finding, even pre-cut organic veggies can be put through a chlorine rinse before being bagged. It's better to be safe and avoid them

Well, I guess ease is out the window. You have to figure that this one was coming. I mean, how can we assume that something that is prebagged (like precanned, premade) is any less subject to extra chemicals?? Shame on me for true laziness.

Oh well, back to the salad spinner and ripping lettuce-----LMT
