Progress.. slowly but surely..

His advice is excellent but I found him a bit avacadocentric. There are lots of other foods out there.
 
wonder if this link will work

yay! it did!

While I agree with everything he says, I can imagine that the first reaction for most of the UK population would be URRGGHHH if they were presented with a plate of bright green veg for breakfast.

It just doesn't fit our cultural brekkie expectations, does it?
I mean, when someone would rather risk losing their feet than give up their morning toast, then shoving sliced avo, steamed spinach and 2 delicately poached eggs in their face is NOT going to convert them.

I would love one of these video bites to do a proper look at diet options.
Not just 'drop the carbs and eat veg and healthy fats' but a PROPER INDEPTH look at different breakfast options showing that there is a vast range of choices to suit every palate.

True.. where was the bacon for heavens sake...? And thanks for being smarter than me and getting the link right... no-one likes a smarty pants.. hahahaha
 
I saw Dr Chatterjee on the BBC this morning too. I was multi-tasking at the time, so I will watch the cliplater, as I probably wasn't listening 100%.

The only thing that bothered be was his talking about the lady diagnosed T2 on the programme, who then went on to do very well. The bit that irked me was he said he had reversed her diabetes. My view is he gave her the tools and support, but she reversed it. [ off hobby horse ]

Apparently, 15 months on, she is maintaining her position. Respec' that woman.
 
Bacon is a processed meat, like hams, salamis, and too much can lead to cancer. However add some mustard and that will neutralise the danger.

You have said the mustard thing before. Can you explain? Your posts are the first info I have seen on mustard being an anti-cancer agent.

In your humble opinion maybe? or the science suggests perhaps? You are a little too fond of absolutes assuming that you are always right..

Also of course what about the research that suggests that cancer cells may feed off glucose. With very little glucose maybe we don't get cancer?
 
I don't mind absolutes, so long as there is decent source reference, or a 'based on this link' or a 'based on my humble opinion.'

Personally, I would LOVE to see some evidence that mustard would cure or prevent cancer. I would invest in Mustard Farming immediately. But it hasn't hit any news stands that I have seen...
 
What I've heard on the subject: cooking at high heat, especially searing meat, causes carcinogenic substances called heterocyclic amines:

"Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemicals formed when muscle meat, including beef, pork, fish, or poultry, is cooked using high-temperature methods, such as pan frying or grilling directly over an open flame."

Apparently marinating meat before cooking is protectective. I believe eating it with polyphenols like turmeric also counteracts the effect - maybe mustard counts in that category? Not sure though.

And as I found out when I did my genetic testing, there is a mutation that can make you a slow metaboliser of HCAs:

"gs140 - NAT2 slow metabolizer - Most non-Scandinavian Caucasians and approximately half of African-Americans are slow metabolizers. This variation is important because of its primary role in the deactivation of many chemicals in the body's environment, including those produced by caffeine and cigarettes as well as aromatic amine and hydrazine drugs used medicinally. In general, slow metabolizers have higher rates of certain types of cancer and are more susceptible to side effects from chemicals metabolized by NAT2. According to this source 6 snps determine NAT2 metabolism. The way their genotypes interact is very complex, which makes this one of the largest genosets in SNPedia. The SNPs are: *rs1208 *rs1041983 *rs1799929 *rs1799930 *rs1799931 *rs1801280."

Just as well I drink tea (polyphenol) with just about everything ;)
