Raw eggs are better for the intestinal microbiome.

Cooked eggs are better for absorbing nutrients and stimulating metabolism.It’s pretty much a “six of one, half a dozen of the other” scenario when eating one or two eggs a day.

Otherwise, excess raw eggs bind and block biotin (vitamin H).

Supplement-based vitamin C is not really vitamin C (metabolic dehydroascorbic acid).

Think of supplement-based ascorbic acid as thyroxine (T4), and food-based dehydroascorbic acid as triiodothyronine (T3).

Vegetarians like Fauja Singh (108 revs around the Sun), a marathon runner who never took a drug or supplement, can get enough dehydroascorbic acid from fruits and veggies.

Vibrant Gal and I get the lion’s share of our dehydroascorbic acid from potatoes.

Most supplement-based vitamin C …

1) is estrogenic

2) shifts the redox balance

3) depletes vitamin E and copper

4) increases iron levels (often not a “good” thing)

5) raises blood oxalate levels

6) is (allegedly) contaminated with lead

“Celery is among a small group of foods (headed by peanuts) that appear to provoke the most severe allergic reactions; for people with celery allergy, exposure can cause potentially fatal anaphylactic shock. The allergen does not appear to be destroyed at cooking temperatures. Celery root — commonly eaten as celeriac, or put into drinks — is known to contain more allergen than the stalk. Seeds contain the highest levels of allergen content. Exercise-induced anaphylaxis may be exacerbated. An allergic reaction also may be triggered by eating foods that have been processed with machines that have previously processed celery, making avoiding such foods difficult. In contrast with peanut allergy being most prevalent in the US, celery allergy is most prevalent in Central Europe. In the European Union, foods that contain or may contain celery, even in trace amounts, must be clearly marked as such.”
