Calling all "Clean Eaters"

I'm sorry, but you're ignorant about our food supply. After being diagnosed with cancer you're given a list of ingredients to avoid and encouraged to limit processed food. This isn't brain surgery. There are tons of nonbiased resources available to learn about additives. Or keep the blinders on.
Go feed your kids a lunchable. Mine are eating real food.
My mil just got finished with radiation (thankfully no chemo at this point), and her oncologist did give her a new diet to follow, which severely limits meat and processed foods- that was really interesting to me as I've also been reading about nutrition and how it relates to cancer/prevention (I have a huge family history of cancers so I'm on a quest to stack the odds in my favor as much as possible). My sil is also heading in that direction with her own diet, as she's dealt with life long digestion/low weight issues and is now working with a chiropractor/nutritionist. She's also had several benign tumors removed and is considered high risk for cancer with her own family history. The three of us, coming from totally different food/diet backgrounds, are now focusing on a whole foods, plant based diet. It's been a big help doing it with others I know in real life

The only supplements I take is a Vitamin D tablet and a Fish Oil capsule. Last time I had blood work done the doctor told me I needed to start taking Vitamin D and then last week when I told her I was going to try being a vegetarian for a few months, she told me to take a Fish Oil capsule to help me get my omega fatty acids.
I haven't really heard much about bee pollen, what is it supposed to do?
Can't you just drink milk?
Milk is not clean eating. Humans are not technically supposed to drink milk past their infancy, let alone steal the milk from another mammal and drink it. Milk gets most of its vitamin D from supplements added to it anyway, so it's better to cut out the extra calories, the huge amounts of pus, and the fat and just take the vitamin. If you want to avoid cholesterol, fat, and drinking pus, avoid animal milk. I highly suggest almond milk.0 -

Nonsense? Google it.

There's a reason that no other mammals drink milk past the age of infancy! It's not natural, not necessary for health, and even BAD FOR YOU. Milk is packed with hormones that, while helpful for children, are terrible for adults, especially adult women. Here is one of the MANY articles that outline why milk is not necessary.

What the fu.......:huh: is going on here?
Milk shouldn't be consumed past infancy? Milk is bad for you? and you are talking about peer-reviewed articles to back up that claim? But then don't post any of those articles?
And to note....no scientific study can fully prove anything, there will always be extraneous variables that cannot be controlled, but critical thinking is well......critical when making such a claim.

Do Hormones Make Milk Unhealthy?
Not unless you're injecting the milk. Here's the full story: In 1993 the FDA approved the use of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in cattle. This practice resulted in greater milk production at less cost to the dairy farmer, a savings that has been passed on to you at your local supermarket. But it has also sparked much controversy, because rBGH boosts milk's concentration of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), a hormone that's been linked to cancer.
Unlike steroid hormones, which can be taken orally, rBGH and IGF must be injected to have any effect. That's because the process of digestion destroys these "protein" hormones. So drinking milk from hormone-treated cows doesn't transfer the active form of these chemicals to your body. However, there is one ethical downside to consider: It's not good for the cows. Canadian researchers discovered that cows given hormones are more likely to contract an udder infection called mastitis.
What About Antibiotics?
No one really knows. Some scientists argue that milk from cows given antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance in humans, making these types of drugs less effective when you take them for an infection. But this finding has never been proved.
I believe that's strike 1,2, & 3. You clearly do not know what a scientific peer reviewed study is, that's clear.0 -

Abstract:
It is the purpose of this viewpoint article to delineate the regulatory network of growth hormone (GH), insulin, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signalling during puberty, associated hormonal changes in adrenal and gonadal androgen metabolism, and the impact of dietary factors and smoking involved in the pathogenesis of acne. The key regulator IGF-1 rises during puberty by the action of increased GH secretion and correlates well with the clinical course of acne. In acne patients, associations between serum levels of IGF-1, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, dihydrotestosterone, acne lesion counts and facial sebum secretion rate have been reported. IGF-1 stimulates 5alpha-reductase, adrenal and gonadal androgen synthesis, androgen receptor signal transduction, sebocyte proliferation and lipogenesis. Milk consumption results in a significant increase in insulin and IGF-1 serum levels comparable with high glycaemic food. Insulin induces hepatic IGF-1 secretion, and both hormones amplify the stimulatory effect of GH on sebocytes and augment mitogenic downstream signalling pathways of insulin receptors, IGF-1 receptor and fibroblast growth factor receptor-2b. Acne is proposed to be an IGF-1-mediated disease, modified by diets and smoking increasing insulin/IGF1-signalling. Metformin treatment, and diets low in milk protein content and glycaemic index reduce increased IGF-1 signalling. Persistent acne in adulthood with high IGF-1 levels may be considered as an indicator for increased risk of cancer, which may require appropriate dietary intervention as well as treatment with insulin-sensitizing agents.
I don't even know where to begin with this one. I hope you don't eat any high GI foods, according to this study they have the same affect. This is an insulin study that happend to use milk instead of say...bread or fruit.
Again, did you even read these? You also still haven't proven a single one of your initial claims. I particularily love the infancy claim. You're not very good at this.

Can't you just drink milk?
Milk is not clean eating. Humans are not technically supposed to drink milk past their infancy, let alone steal the milk from another mammal and drink it. Milk gets most of its vitamin D from supplements added to it anyway, so it's better to cut out the extra calories, the huge amounts of pus, and the fat and just take the vitamin. If you want to avoid cholesterol, fat, and drinking pus, avoid animal milk. I highly suggest almond milk.

None of those "sources" are scientific peer reviewed studies. They are editorial articles. Do you even read the links you post?
From the menshealth article you posted:
However, as a nutritionist, I've found that most men thrive on milk, whether their goal is to lose fat or build muscle. So to be sure it's safe, I've investigated all the anti-milk claims, sifting through the research while also turning a critical eye to pro-milk propaganda. After all, the only agenda I have is my clients' health. The result: all your milk questions, answered.

Do Hormones Make Milk Unhealthy?
Not unless you're injecting the milk. Here's the full story: In 1993 the FDA approved the use of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in cattle. This practice resulted in greater milk production at less cost to the dairy farmer, a savings that has been passed on to you at your local supermarket. But it has also sparked much controversy, because rBGH boosts milk's concentration of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), a hormone that's been linked to cancer.
Unlike steroid hormones, which can be taken orally, rBGH and IGF must be injected to have any effect. That's because the process of digestion destroys these "protein" hormones. So drinking milk from hormone-treated cows doesn't transfer the active form of these chemicals to your body. However, there is one ethical downside to consider: It's not good for the cows. Canadian researchers discovered that cows given hormones are more likely to contract an udder infection called mastitis.
What About Antibiotics?
No one really knows. Some scientists argue that milk from cows given antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance in humans, making these types of drugs less effective when you take them for an infection. But this finding has never been proved.
I believe that's strike 1,2, & 3. You clearly do not know what a scientific peer reviewed study is, that's clear.
I wasn't claiming that those were peer reviewed studies, just articles. Milk may be great for men who are trying to gain muscle, but I don't believe it is beneficial otherwise. It has been linked to acne, asthma, and high birth weight. Here are the APA links, if you need them:

So this one states that in over weight girls (with BMI >85th percentile) that already have asthma milk may increase risk of an asthma attack. Sound the alarms.Olsen, S., Halldorsson, T., Willett, W., Knudsen, V., Gillman, M., Mikkelsen, T., & Olsen, J. (2007). Milk consumption during pregnancy is associated with increased infant size at birth: prospective cohort study. The American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition, 86(4), 1104-1110.
This one states that women who drink more than 6 glasses of Milk a day while in pregnancy was associated with higher birth weight for gestational age, lower risk of SGA (small-for gestational age, a bad thing), and higher risk of LGA (large-for-gestational age, not regarded as a bad thing). Where's the problem here? Not to mention that's a crap-ton of milk.Melnik, B. C., & Schmitz, G. (2009).

Abstract:
It is the purpose of this viewpoint article to delineate the regulatory network of growth hormone (GH), insulin, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signalling during puberty, associated hormonal changes in adrenal and gonadal androgen metabolism, and the impact of dietary factors and smoking involved in the pathogenesis of acne. The key regulator IGF-1 rises during puberty by the action of increased GH secretion and correlates well with the clinical course of acne. In acne patients, associations between serum levels of IGF-1, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, dihydrotestosterone, acne lesion counts and facial sebum secretion rate have been reported. IGF-1 stimulates 5alpha-reductase, adrenal and gonadal androgen synthesis, androgen receptor signal transduction, sebocyte proliferation and lipogenesis. Milk consumption results in a significant increase in insulin and IGF-1 serum levels comparable with high glycaemic food. Insulin induces hepatic IGF-1 secretion, and both hormones amplify the stimulatory effect of GH on sebocytes and augment mitogenic downstream signalling pathways of insulin receptors, IGF-1 receptor and fibroblast growth factor receptor-2b. Acne is proposed to be an IGF-1-mediated disease, modified by diets and smoking increasing insulin/IGF1-signalling. Metformin treatment, and diets low in milk protein content and glycaemic index reduce increased IGF-1 signalling. Persistent acne in adulthood with high IGF-1 levels may be considered as an indicator for increased risk of cancer, which may require appropriate dietary intervention as well as treatment with insulin-sensitizing agents.
I don't even know where to begin with this one. I hope you don't eat any high GI foods, according to this study they have the same affect. This is an insulin study that happend to use milk instead of say...bread or fruit.
Again, did you even read these? You also still haven't proven a single one of your initial claims. I particularily love the infancy claim. You're not very good at this.

Yes, sorry I wasn't more clear in my original post-the new way of eating for me (whole foods/plant based), is showing up low for the nutrients when I plug it in, not that I'm physically deficient in these things (except for D3, which I have tested deficient at 21 the past three years at least, since I've started getting it tested). Thanks for the info on mushrooms! I love mushrooms but just eat the cheapy button kind-I'll have to look for the portabella ones next time I'm at the store The weird thing about the D deficiency is that we have a sailboat and during the spring/summer months I'm on it all the time, as well as daily walking/running. But, even with all the sun exposure I still show deficient with the blood test, even when being tested in the summer. I have started waiting to put sun screen on, 30 minutes after we get out on the boat, to see if that will help and I don't put any on when I walk/run. I'm in MI, so we do have a lot of cloudy days and fall/winter can be very gloomy.
Thanks for the info on iron/calcium! I'm still very new to paying attention to what I'm eating (lost my weight with SAD and IF and only tracked calories), so this is a new world for me
I found a stat the other day (don't have the link offhand) that SPF 15 drops your Vitamin D production by something like 95%, 30 drops it by 98%, so any amount of sunscreen with pretty much kill your Vitamin D production. Living in MI doesn't help matters, between the cloudy days and long winters. Also, don't feel too bad, about 75% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D, in no small part thanks to the scaremongering regarding the sun and skin cancer (you might be interested in the research between sunscreen use and cancer risk).
Hang out outside for half an hour or so a day (give or take, depending on the conditions and time of year) before putting the sunscreen on.0 -
I'm sorry, but you're ignorant about our food supply. After being diagnosed with cancer you're given a list of ingredients to avoid and encouraged to limit processed food. This isn't brain surgery. There are tons of nonbiased resources available to learn about additives. Or keep the blinders on.
Go feed your kids a lunchable. Mine are eating real food.
After being diagnosed with celiac, you're given instructions not to eat anything containing gluten...
...but that doesn't mean it's the same advice you'd give someone without celiac.
After being diagnosed with diabetes, you're given special instructions on carbohydrates...
....but that doesn't mean it's the same advice you'd give someone without diabetes.
(Oh, wait...hmmm...)
^^True..but to each, thier own choice..if they feel, they can sustain this lifestyle forever, good choice..personally, i can never ever..so not into clean eating 0 -

One of my friends was diagnosed with a peanut allergy. She was told to explicitly avoid anything containing, or potentially containing, peanuts or traces of peanut.
Peanuts are therefore toxic. Or keep the blinders on.
Also: another "clean eater" who says a bunch of common food is "toxic"........ yet has a closed diary. Makes you wonder.
Peanuts may be more on the 'toxic' side of the continuum, actually.
They contain lectins, which create holes in the intestinal lining (among other things), allowing larger-than-normal molecules (that would normally be broken down to smaller, more manageable molecules) to go straight into the bloodstream. This signals the immune system to attack the non-self molecules. If protein molecules that are similar to our actual proteins get through that hole, the immune system can get confused and start attacking our own protein molecules, which some studies are showing may be the root cause of a lot of autoimmune and other diseases.
http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0000687
Peanuts are also very susceptible to a certain mold that contains alfatoxins, which have been shown to cause liver cancer, albeit in rats. The amounts of alfatoxin allowed in the US are pretty low, but long-term exposure to a known carcinogen (kinda like second-hand smoke- I know, not identical situations, but still) isn't really ideal for long-term health.

I'm sure the guy who posted above me won't really care/will probably want to argue about this post, but I just wanted to throw this info out there! It's based on good research, so I think it's worth knowing.
OP- to answer your original question, I take Co-q 10, magnesium, and a raw, organic multi.0 -
Why does it have to be so polarized? Lunchables or boiled chicken and steamed veggies. Try doing something in the middle and I'll bet you get far. I suspect that's what "clean eaters" do anyways but I will never know because all of the really sanctimonious ones have closed diaries. The clean eaters that "don't always eat clean" which is pretty much IIFYM are the only ones with an open diary. Food for thought 0

I used to consider myself 'clean,' but I would probably go more with 'primal' now if there had to be a polarizing label.. although primal is a little broader and encompasses more of an entire lifestyle rather than just food. I also wonder about the people who post strongly in one direction or the other on this debate and yet have closed diaries. Definitely noms for thought.
Either way, I don't eat highly processed other than nut butters and egg-white protein and occasional spice mixes, and my diary is open for those wanting ideas!0 -

We do usually 80 clean and 20 non clean due to eating out. I've never seen it so polarizing, except on here where people love to defend their pop tarts on threads about clean foods. I've never seen anyone IRL say the stupid things I've read on here. I think people can eat whatever junk they want, but I think they have the right to know what's in their food and certain chemical additives should be banned so that when people feed their kiddies toaster strudels at least some of the FDC colorants, high fructose corn syrup and gmos might not make it into it growing bodies. I could give a fig about the meatheads on these forums.0 -
I think people have the right to know that just because the internet grants random people a worldwide audience doesn't mean the things they say are actually true.
Don't listen to people who aren't actual educated experts. Don't listen to people who can't back up their claims with actual science. Don't listen to people who can't link you to original research.
In other words, don't just trust internet yahoos no matter how smart they tell you that they are or how much you want to believe them. Especially when they're trying to make you scared of the world around you.0
