Fibre and Flax-seeds
Replies

I did read that article about flax and always appreciate reading health articles in case I missed something or doing something not so great for my health. The references are a little older than the ones I found from 2018/2019, I think they are finding the opposite is true for breast health and cancer. But everything is always ‘preliminary and observational’ so you never know. Nutrition studies just aren’t always that great or abundant.0

Sorry to hijack the post! But just sharing why besides fiber I looked into having some flax everyday
I also LOVE dried seaweed chips. Enough iodine for a full day with one pack. Love to supliment with real food when I can. I crave those little packs!
Definitely enough iodine in those. I don't do my kelp drops for a few days if I eat seaweed or fish.. or regular iodized salt. I do not want to OD on iodine.

I've heard more than one doctor say that they believe almost all cancers are diet related. I've heard a couple say around 70%, heard a couple say around 85%.
I would estimate even higher than that. I'm pro-berries, asparagus, and fruit seeds/pits (apple and apricot especially) when it comes to cancer prevention. I don't like to eat apples, just the seeds, lol.
For apricots, how do you crack the stone open and eat the kernel? I've read it can cause cyanide poisoning if you eat too many? how many do you have a day? I love apricots any way. I wouldn't eat many because I prefer almost all animal products but maybe a cheat snack, I'd have one.
Strawberries are considered the most pesticide ridden fruit so I've been wary to buy more. Maybe I should splurge and get organic strawberries when I buy them(which isn't often).
I also love asparagus although I think it's best cooked.

Keeping with the topic of the OP(which I haven't for most of the posts), when I used to eat flax I would grind it up and mix with yogurt. I'd add cocoa, peanut butter, almond butter, stevia, chia seeds, and/or brewer's yeast(most people don't like the taste) and mix together and let sit in the fridge for an hour or so.1

I order apricot pits (already opened seeds) and tablets made from apricot pits from Mexico. I do crack open apple seeds and eat the white substance (organic). If starting b17, I suggest start off slow. 3 seeds for a couple of weeks, build up to 5-7. I prefer the tablets because they're cheaper. One tablet a day vs 5-7 apricot or apple seeds.
The liver converts to cyanide if cancer is present.
The berries I use in my anti-cancer smoothies I make are blueberries, black berries, and raspberries. Elderberries and blueberries are supposed to be the best.
All of these have b17 in them which is what gets converted to cyanide.
Asparagus: even a tbsp of asparagus every fews days is supposed to help prevent cancer.1 -

Blueberries and blackberries are very tasty. I like berries with heavy cream. Raspberries are pretty good too. I've never had Elderberries.
I believe it that all this stuff is anti-cancer. I try to eat mostly meat though. Maybe I'll die of colon cancer from all the bacon, pepperoni, kielbasa, and summer sausage. Who knows? but it is fun while it lasts.

LOL!!! I just take my tablets and if someone is eating an apple around me, I ask for the seeds!
I can't afford my berry smoothy, so I only make one every 3-6 months.
Okay, I love asparagus... When I can afford it!!1 -
I’ve gotten asparagus for $1 a lb. and berries I can get for usually $2 a pint in season. Sometimes the prices are outrageous though.
That being said I’d rather spend money for a grass fed steak. Ribeye was $12.99 a lb usually $16.99 but I had to pass it up because it was still too expensive. I bought top round, bottom round, and sirloin tip instead. I fry in butter for more fat. Give me steak and I’m happy.1 -
Beef and dairy are cheap where I am. Produce is ridiculous! Been buying almost all produce frozen on monthly trip into town.1

Re: strawberries - grow your own! They're really easy to grow and you can grow them in containers and do fantastically well grown vertically (look up "strawberry towers" and you'll see what I mean). When grown at home, especially, they really don't need pesticides or fertilizers or anything like that, just some sun and some pollinators.
For asparagus, hands-down the best way to get them is growing them, in my opinion. Seriously, you'll probably change your mind on the raw vs cooked thing when you have a chance to pick spears out of your own garden (the little ones that aren't quite the diameter of a pencil are particularly awesome raw). They're perennials and once they start growing spears, you'll have spears pretty much all summer. 4 -

I live in an apartment without even a balcony. My parents have a garden but deer seem to eat most of the stuff so they don't plant much. I would love some garden fresh produce otherwise.2 -
I just don't like the texture nor the flavor of flaxseeds, I tried using them in my early keto days, but stopped. I get omega 3 from fish oil, since it contains the needed EPA and DHA, while flax doesn't. I am trying to keep omega 6 as low as possible too.1

Because I’m fasting...drooling over oven roasted asparagus right now. Light coating of olive oil, a little salt and pepper. Stick in over for 30 mins and yum 1
