some people agree that a vegan diet isn't a terrible idea, but they point out that they worry about vitamin b12, which they state is difficult to get naturally from a vegan diet, often suggesting that a pseudo vegan with occasional meats, dairy, and fish is probably the best way to go in terms of health but they do not realize that they can easily make changes to their diet in order to get what they need.
some say that B12 supplementation is the most reliable way to get B12 with no side effects compared to that of eating animal products to obtain it. Even meat eaters are sometimes told to supplement with B12 since not everyone adequately absorbs B12 from meat, and different people depending on different factors have differing abilities on how efficiently they absorb it from food.

some people say you need fats to absorb b12 while others say it is only water soluble and others say you need different things to absorb it.
Personally, I get the "garden of life" brand of D3 and b12 sprays from wholefoods.
>vegetarians have consistently shown to have lower risks for cardiometabolic outcomes and some cancers
>Beyond meatless diets, further avoidance of eggs and dairy products may offer additional benefit
The thing about "a diet of meat, grains, veggies, fruit" etc is that the meat doesn't contribute to the healthfulness, it's the plant foods. "Health-conscious meat eaters" or "meat minimalists" are people who rarely eat meat, but on occasion do, and they still often struggle to keep up health-wise with people who cut the junk out entirely.
I genuinely hope that someone appreciates this and has a very happy and healthy life. peace.

HOW TO AVOID FLUORIDE
HOW TO REMOVE FLUORIDE FROM YOUR BODY
>don't drink tap water
>do research and drink a bottled spring water (preferably in bpa free bottle, but try your best)
>spring water more likely to only contain small amounts of naturally occurring calcium fluoride
>OR buy a crazy expensive reverse osmosis filter
>or buy from a company who reverse osmosis filters their water only if you really trust them
>drink spring water only that you have researched!
>znaturalfoods.com and mountainroseherbs.com are websites that sell kelp, irish moss, spirulina which contain IODINE.
>you can blend them into fruit smoothies so your body can use iodine to bind and then throw away fluoride.
>your body can also use selenium (nuts and seeds) to bind and throw away mercury, but that's another conversation
>Toothpaste is a major source of fluoride even if you don't swallow, even if you rinse and spit 100 times.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN TOOTHPASTE
>get a glass jar with a lid
>50% coconut oil
>50% cinnamon
>mix it up
>brush your teeth with that
>that's it
>THATS IT
>znaturalfoods sells cinnamon way cheaper than any store I have ever been to in my entire life if you are willing to buy it per pound.
Warning
Don't swallow any kind of toothpaste, ever. For this type of toothpaste the reason you don't want to swallow is the coumarin content. If you brush your teeth often, and you decide to be a dangerous idiot (absolutely not recommended! do not try this at home) and swallow the cinnamon toothpaste, you will get large doses of coumarin and get very sick or die.
I feel like my mouth is cleaner than ever, and again this is cheaper than any toothpaste you could ever buy in the store.
>do not EVER use teflon pans
>do not ever use aluminum pans
>don't drink store bought juice/milk/soda because its usually made with tap water or comes from a bad source.
>find a spring water and do research on the company, fluoride content, is the container bpa free?
teflon and aluminum accumulates in your body and actually helps the fluoride hurt you more.
>only ever use pyrex, cast iron, stainless steel kitchen ware.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN DEODORANT
>you want to have about 80% coconut oil
>mix in a few teaspoons of baking soda until it dissolves but don't add too much
>(find baking soda and read the ingredients to make sure it only says sodium bicarbonate, NO aluminum)
>then mix in a small teaspoon or two of arrowroot powder (wholefoods has it in a bag)
and its done.
you can make very small amounts to practice until you get the right consistancy. its like a paste you put it on one finger and spread it onto your underarm.
always remember to read ingredient lists on everything.
very very small amounts of naturally occurring calcium fluoride are usually alright, the kind people always got from drinking water from a river very long ago.
RED PILL
>store bought toothpaste and tap water contains:
>fluorine
>sodium fluoride
>aluminum fluoride
>monofluorophosphate
alot of these are from aluminum factory run off but the BIGGEST scam and the reason why dentists and the government pushes fluoride so hard is because it is a waste product of refining plutonium and uranium enrichment for weapons and nuclear powerplants. It's insanely expensive to dispose of it legally so they sell it to dentists and the states to add to water as a supplement, medication without consent. People ingest it and it ends up in graveyards or downstream in the ocean, basically highly indirect illegal dumping.
so here are your sources:
before:
>store toothpaste (fluoride)
>store deo (aluminum, and other carcinogens)
>store pans (teflon, aluminum)
after:
>homemade deo (nothing)
>homemade toothpaste (nothing)
>stainless steel pans (nothing)
if you can wash your hair with baking soda, and then vinegar, you avoid alot of crap from shampoo and conditioner. it takes getting used to but you save loads of money from buying all that crap. I rub wet baking soda into my hair in the shower and rinse with water, then I add white distilled vinegar and rinse with water again, and then I let it dry and rub a small amount of coconut oil into my hair as my conditioner. If you can avoid the microwave too, and go organic and vegan, you avoid so much trash.
>pro tip: you can do your laundry with baking soda by lightly powdering your clothes until they look like you crashed into a bakery, and then throwing them in the washer, but do extra rinse cycles to dissolve it all out.
It takes some getting used to but never give up and you will succeed. remember to avoid things that seem expensive, while many companies and corporations that sell organic food exist, many are out to just get inexperienced shoppers money. usda organic oats and flax seeds and dry black beans from wholefoods (dispenser section where you fill your own bag) are usually a good price to compare other things from as "fair"
I am Not a doctor or a dentist. Ask your doctor and dentist before doing anything.
So anyone else make seitan from scratch? It's very time consuming but it's absurdly cheap and so delicious it's hard to not eat it all at once.
I generally make a batch using 3kg of plain white flour. I spend an hour kneading it all into a couple of big dough balls until it's very silky and stretchy. Then I leave the dough in bowls of water for a while, preferably overnight, to loosen up the starch. Then I spend a long, tedious time rinsing all the starch out under a running tap until I'm left with pure spongy gluten. I cook that in a broth of water, marmite, vegetable stock, and plenty of soy sauce until the gluten is firm and the broth has all evaporated.
That would be good in itself, but the finishing touch is 40 minutes in the oven with oil drizzled over it. From 3kg of flour, which you can get for around £1 here in Britbong, you get a big roasting tray of seitan.
I've tried other broth recipes but this one is the classic, but it's such a pain to make that it's an occasional thing. I make it at christmas.
Best Cheeze Recipe
