Hi @mcm,Actually the Island if Crete with a Medeterranian diet approach also holds this title.
Unfermented soy has the jury out due to claims it creates hormone imbalances. It's incredibly cheap to produce and often it's G.M
Tempeh (fermented soy) is touted as a wiser choice.
However...
I'm not so sure, as once again the people who told us Sat fat was bad are now backtracking and acknowledging Sugar is the main culprit detremental to our health.
This then leads consumers to go with artificial sweeteners which are equally as bad such as Aspartame, which is frankly evil stuff.
Even Coca Cola are producing a new green canned version sweetened with Stevia (yay) but then bizarrely still has 6 spoonfuls of sugar per can thus rendering this healthier version as practically useless.
In a word yes. At least in my experience the closer in consistency to flour flour if you know what I mean the better.Just a quick question ref almond four. In my recipes where it says almond flour, I just throw in ground almond from a pack.
Recipes turn out good, but would they better excellent if I blended or processed the ground almonds even more first?

First the majority of soy is GMO (knowing that GMOs comes with more pesticides then non-GMO crops). Soy are high in phytates (phytic acid) which block absorption of minerals. Soybeans are very rich in Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can cause problems. The isoflavones found in soy can activate and/or inhibit estrogen receptors in the body, which can disrupt the body’s normal function. Fermented soy products are slightly better because the fermentation degrades some of the phytic acid.

Regarding the Mediterranean diet, this was actually invented by a small group of people (olive ambassadors in the 80s including Ancel Keys (yepp the same fellow that made up the diet-heart theory and demonized sat fat), historically the Greeks used lard for cooking,
Hello
Whilst I agree in historical reference, I would take a Mediterranean diet as an indigenous culture, for which, the statistics speak for themselves.
The Cretians have one of the longest life spans on the planet.
I think Angel Keyes merely documented a lifestyle and culture that preceded him by at least a 100 years.
My point is that although I may apply the term Mediterranean diet. I would advocate it on historical, statistical and medical proof.
As for Sat fats, the jury has and no doubt will continue to swing both ways as to whether it's healthy or not.
I will say again that by cutting out all manner of processed foods and following a largely vegan diet, I am getting excellent results in both hb1ac and cholesterol tests.
The only exception being an elevated triglyceride level that the doctor isn't concerned about but I am, but, I do have this in hand and am working on "normalization" across the board.
Have I suffered on taste? Absolutely not, I'm on a new path of creativity and health with my diet and lifestyle.
HelloFrom an interview with Nina Teicholz author of The Big Fat Surprise
Dr L: It seems the prevailing thinking on fat is that some fats, like olive oil, are the best for our health. You discovered in your research that the Mediterranean Diet is not what it’s cracked up to be. How did it come to pass that we all worship at the altar of olive oil?
Nina: The Mediterranean Diet originated from a survey of the eating habits of long-living Cretan peasants in the 1950s, who seemed to eat very little meat or dairy. However, they were surveyed shortly after WWII, when their economy was in ruins. Also, their diet was sampled during Lent, when animal foods were severely restricted. The data was therefore not any good and never grew any better. In fact, the reason that the Mediterranean Diet became celebrated and famous is that researchers fell in love with the sun-kissed, enchanting Mediterranean—and most of their studies and travel were funded by the olive-oil industry. It’s amazing how researchers, including some of the most respected people in the field today, thrived on the Mediterranean Diet conference junket. The actual science is far from impressive: it can only show that this diet is superior to the failed, low-fat diet (and what diet isn’t?). Tested against a higher fat diet, the Mediterranean regime looks far less impressive for weight loss or heart disease. Also, no one’s ever been able to pinpoint any special, disease-fighting powers of olive oil—which turns out not to be an ancient foodstuff after all but a relatively recent introduction to the Mediterranean diet.
