Yum! Great idea

Lawrence, I'm sorry to hear your family has struggled with their health! It is so hard to see loved ones in pain. While we are a public health advocacy organization (not a care provider), please do let us know how we can further support you!

@@thebalancedorg Sincere thanks for your generous, authentic and meaningful concern. Each parent had cancer and heart disease. Far as I know - from tests revealing - I'm currently all right. With certitude, I say it's not 'all in the genes' whatsover. Am turning 65 this year. No living family. Be well, be safe, be prosperous ! Look forward to keeping in touch. Sincere Thanx Again, L.-

We totally agree! They are so versatile, filling, and affordable too!

Thank you for your support!! :)

Thanks for your comment, Azim. In the interest of promoting science-based dialogue, we'd love to elaborate on some of the points you brought up. The fatty acid composition of human breast milk varies in response to maternal diet. Low quality maternal diets are associated with higher saturated fat and lower polyunsaturated fat content in breast milk. Saturated fat in breast milk is important, however. Infancy is a time of very rapid growth. Fat, being very calorically dense, is beneficial to this end. But, babies only need to breastfeed exclusively for the first 4-6 months, then stop completely after 1 to 2 years. It is inappropriate to extrapolate what is necessary for a newborn infant to what is optimal for a toddler, adolescent, middle-aged adult, etc. (Imagine if full-grown cows drank their own milk instead of eating grass.) Studies consistently show that higher saturated fat intake increases LDL (bad) cholesterol, particularly as those saturated fats tend to come from animal-source foods rather than cashews, for example. Re: dietary cholesterol, it is in low quantities in breast milk, and humans are capable of endogenously producing all the cholesterol we need, meaning we do not need to consume it from foods. As for visceral body fat, when you consume fewer calories than can support the maintenance of those fat cells, your body breaks down the fatty acids into carbon dioxide and water through a series of oxidation reactions that do not involve ketosis. Fasting, which does induce ketosis, is just one way of losing body fat; simply eating fewer calories every day and/or increasing your energy expenditure through exercise are other ways.

@@thebalancedorg thanks for your response. Maybe we can agree that processed food is the real danger. When plant food is highly purified so it has no nutrients left these become poisons. The worst being vegetable oils, trans fats, margarine, white flour and sugar. These together with often a long list of chemical additives makes up modern processed food: bread, cakes, doughnut's, biscuits, cereals, deserts, crisps, chocolates and foods fried in vegetable oil. I am sure we can agree that eating real whole food is best.

@@akhusal Yes, in fact a lot of our work focuses on reducing the amount of ultra-processed foods (like the baked goods you mentioned) served by institutions like schools, hospitals, and more. We can definitely agree that menus rich in whole, nutrient-dense plant foods are a great way to support our families' health! :)

Yes, Dr. Greger's general advice on iodine adequacy is still good/relevant. Healthy average adults (who are not pregnant) need around 150 micrograms per day of iodine. I would shoot for roughly that amount every day. Speak to a physician or dietitian if you have concerns about your iodine levels and your specific needs. For general information purposes, you can check out this reference sheet on iodine: ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessional/ -Maddy

Hi AJ, our services are available to everyone everywhere in the world! Drop a line to our advocacy team at www.balanced.org/lead and they can speak to you about how Balanced can help in Perth!

We agree!! We would love to have you join us and our campaigns--email us at info@balanced.org to get involved :)

Already joined and participating. Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Andrew! Please help us spread this message by sharing with your friends, family and healthcare practitioners.

per day, I believe, but you can find the peer-reviewed studies to back this up on www.nutritionfacts.org

Thank you for your comment. It does appear those words are missing in his response. This was a candid interview/response scenario intended to capture their reactions and thoughts to the food being served in their local hospital. There is strong evidence to show increased consumption of legumes (lentils included) reduces premature mortality rates. nutritionfacts.org/video/increased-lifespan-from-beans/ “8% reduction in risk of death for every 20 grams increase in daily legumes intake.”
