• I added red grapes for the first time to my usual berry smoothie and it was slightly frothy must be something to do with the water content as i lowered the water i add the next time and it was less frothy.

• Yeah try less water although i feel at times its the actual blender/juicer my old phillips juicer used to do this all the time leaving a horrible veggie froth on top that had to be sivved off.

• Actually it wouldnt impede his results if trained properly an increase in muscle mass, aswell as power and various strength components would increase his perfomance. End of the day i wasnt saying he needed more muscle mass anyway, the poster said b…

• Its more to do with the high levels of oxalate which can cause problems with the absorption of iron, i wouldnt worry about it too much. Eaten with foods rich in vitamin C can aid the absorption of iron also.

• i forgot to say that it only takes around 10 minutes of cooking to destroy goitrogens. So not long at all if you wish to steam them.

• hey beaglelove, you are correct spinach contains goitrogens. You may be best lightly steaming them as the other poster says:).

• We dont need loads of it because iodine has a very low dose threshold but we do need to intake it regularly and the upper scale of iodine intake such as the japenese has shown to have great health benefits:). 100-200mcg a day is very small which is…

• Were talking about sources that contain decent amounts not traces of iodine which will do little or nothing to meet an RDA which is just the basic to prevent goiter. Therapeutic iodine levels are much higher. What sources are you talking of superfo…

• Watercress and strawberry are modest sources of iodine but it really depends if it was available in the soil during growth otherwise there probably not good enough sources.  

  in Raw Vegan, Vegan vs. Paleo? Comment by powerlifer
• iodine is another much forgot about nutrient but very essential and unless supplementing with seaweeds there is no real vegan source.

• Not at all rawcanadian, just thought id add my 2 cents that magnesium would be a good start. http://www.amlaberry.co.uk

  in calcium build up causing black out seizures! Comment by powerlifer
• Calcium causes the blood vessels to contract so like i say magnesium should be the first route of supplementation if i was going to. Magnesium displaces calcium from blood vessels relaxing them for better circulation. Magensium also helps to dispalc…

• Im not a doctor to start but she could try displacing the calcium by supplementing with magnesium. An acidified type such as magnesium citrate is the best for absorption. http://www.amlaberry.co.uk

• The best tools for getting rid of metals are seaweeds(check the brown seaweed extract at my store which has high levels of alginates which bind to metals), chlorella, pectins(in fruit/vegetables) and NAC. Im glad you've got to the route of your heal…

• cayenne irritates the intestinal lining so that it secretes stomach acid for digestion, counter productive to your needs. licorice root helps heal the intestines and is a great herb.

• Bitter herbs are the best tool for cleansing the liver, they must come in contact with the back of your tongue to achieve this so either a powder or liquid. I prefer the raw herbal powders always over extracts which are unbalanced and often dont ha…

• Theres no problems with soya anyway, most of the contravesy comes from the meat/dairy industry. Especially the phytoestrogen claims, phytoestrogens are weak acting compounds which lock up the receptors so more harmful estrogens arent metabolised.
