I Knew White Bread was Going to Kill Me
bleached flour and processed sugar and animal fats and oil that has been sitting is some of the worst stuff for our bodies. Dr. Weil is a big advocate of being sure all of those things are eliminated from ones diet. Animal fats and the oil is linked to cancer and the others bad for you in many other ways. Very interesting read. in fact he oil... Dr. Weil whos a harvard grad dr who got sick of doctors feeding people drugs and not fixing the diets that were practically killing people to begin with ... struck out on his own and has many books out and been on tv etc. etc... ive done his diets and let me tell you... i always feel SOOO much better after doing them... ANYWAY... he siad that people should put their oil in the refrigerator. He said no one does this because number one its a pain in the butt because it hardens and you have to wait a bit for it to turn liquid again, but when you put it out at room temperature after so long it starts to turns rancid quickly. This especially with olive oil which is the good stuff. And use extra virgin first pressed. its a little more expensive but healthier. If you can smell the slight bit of rancid smell its really really bad. i sorta trust him in that. He said it is sooo bad for the cells and throws all kinds of nasty free radicals into your system. ... so many things are bad for us. 'sigh' ah well.
Thanks for the link!
