Ye Olde C& B Tavern ~ Adventures Surfin' Thru the Time Rift

Good morning everyone, forecast rain for the next week although I can see some blue sky and sunshine coming through the clouds this morning, its very humid too. 

@=42 Medics have been telling their patients who suffer from kidney stones, gout etc about oxalates and the science/biology focussed on that area with oxalates that are nano particles. After the Human Genome Project that cost billions brought up more questions than answers, attention was then taken to the GI tract and the microbiome. 

Has far as Gluten free, I do know people that have to have a gluten free diet, and it is diagnosed by a blood test in the UK. I have also met people with Crohns, and a person who is a Celiac. All diagnosed by the medical profession. They are very serious health conditions. 

When I began having GI issues, I focussed more on what could be causing it. Gut research is underfunded and is still in its early days this century. Sally Horton shared with an Indian man that India is doing most of the current research into oxalates. Due to Indian spices having a lot of oxalates. 

It's not just one plant based food type, potatoes were given has an example because it was the one that is high in carbs and by reducing my consumption of it, I shed 2 stone in a few months.  That was prior to me looking at oxalates. Sally Horton says that red potatoes have less oxalates than other potatoes. So that is an option for anyone that would like to reduce their consumption of the oxalate nano particles. 

A friend drinks grapefruit juice every day, grapefruit is high in oxalates. She has gum, eye, joint and GI issues. So yes I agree with you that a balanced diet is essential, and everything in moderation. Although important to bear in mind that medical scientists are still discovering more about biology and our bodies, they didn't know about vitamins until they discovered them. They didn't know about TENASCIN until they discovered it, nor did I until the LORD spoke of TENASCIN, although the scientists are still trying to unravel it's mysterious mechanisms.  They're still learning and so are we. 

Has we know, science is constantly evolving and we can't discard new discoveries about the body until we have looked at the evidence ourselves to make our own minds up about it. While I'm reading the literature I have decided to reduce the amount of chocolate and I don't eat baked beans very often. We have to keep on moving with the times if we are to help ourselves and our bodies. How people choose to do that is entirely up to each individual. 

Thank you for sharing.
