• IMO, refined sugar should be eliminated from ANY diet as far as I am concerned. When SAD eaters ask me about losing weight or just making a step toward improving their diet, eliminating white/refined sugar is one the first things I always suggest. I…

• If I recall correctly, the article said there could still be blood but maybe only a drop or an undetectable amount, so there is still a menstrual cycle. Just not a big bloody painful one. I know people who are pretty much sick two weeks out of the m…

• Sounds like my mother. She knows only a one or two people of a certain "group type" and she thinks she is an expert. I think there are many vegans out there who eat that way for health only and don't label themselves as vegans. They may not even kno…

• Yes, you guys are alone!! =D I LOVE tahini. But I have noticed some brands are WAY more bitter than others. I am often lazy and just buy it instead of making it. The brand I have now seems to be the least bitter. But it is so good in dips, pates, sa…

• Do you have a cheesecloth? Let it drain through the cheesecloth for a while. Like how they drain the yogurts? When I used to make calabacita casserole I would have to let my zuchs sit out for a while to dry out a bit. After sitting in tihe fridge fo…

• I have a vitamix. Never peel my pears or apples. I do take out seeds since I eat so many apples and the arsenic content. But I don't sweat it if a seed gets in now and then. I never cut the greens off my strawberries either. I throw the whole thing …

• My opinion is that an overload of refined soy products (what Westerners did) is going to bad. soy milk, soy bars, soy powders, soy oils, refined soy this, refined soy that every day. The only soy products I eat are raw miso. Once in a while I very m…

• I couldn't eat a chard wrap when I first started. Bleh. I tried many bites and gave up. I had to chop up the rest of it and made a chard burger. I can do raw kale and dandelion greens now. Love them as a matter of fact. So maybe I will have to re-tr…

• Store bought dehydrated food is so pricey, it is worth it to get a dehydrator. I got a cheapie round one from Walmart for only $40 to try it out before investing in a good one. It has a temperature control that starts at 90 degrees and up to 145 deg…
