scurvy making a come back

may
I doubt that as well. It's the refined carbs and refined veg oils that are the main problems. I reversed my type 2 diabetes by eating lots of red meat and cutting out refined carbs and veg oils.

maybe it is a two egged sword ... but noone really knows for sure , or if anyone does it is a well kept secret

could also be toxins from those rather old kind of meat that are sold many places, where the date is fixed so it seems much fresher and newly slaugthered than it in fact is

Nope, I just eat regular grain finished beef and regular eggs. Beef cattle grow up on grass, then get fattened up for about 4 months before slaughter on grains (mainly barley - and no corn) and silage/hay. Essentially the cattle do eat just grass when you consider that the grains are from grasses. They only get antibiotics if they are sick and they aren't allowed to have any antibiotics in their system when they are slaughtered (and they test for it). I live in Alberta which has very high quality beef.
 
I like to age my beef for a few weeks or even longer before I eat it. It's fine that way.

So enlightening from everybody.. thankyou. Now I know I won't get scurvy and I'm getting iron from my broccoli (which I had really doubted!!).

So, so interesting to have such a nice interesting sort of debate through all of this post.

I am certainly more educated too!! Thank youx

Yes, we're all different.

As for me I can't digest meat too well. If I eat a steak I'm in bad pain for at least 3 days afterwards. I can't eat a lot of other foods either. So I had to adapt my diet and I'm still doing so to try and make all my health conditions happy. It's easier said than done though. For protein I mainly stick to chicken, fish, and eggs. If I eat red meat, it's minced. I still hurt eating that at times. But I'm conscious of deficiencies as my body already doesn't absorb iron, so I ask my doc to check all my levels now and then.
 

I'm the same for getting all my levels checked regularly. I sort of go through gastro chap, then GP to get the tests done.. so they don't just come off my Gp budget..they always help me as they know I amso OTT on my food a d staying healthy. I think as well that they know we soend £100 a month on vitamins etc and know I do my best... so they do their best to help me..
