Molecular Nutrition and Genomics: Nutrition and the Ascent of Humankind by Mark Lucock

I recently acquired this book and have been enjoying it.

From the author:

I have written this book to help students and teachers at the university level gain a new perspective on an old subject.  I have written it in a way that I hope engages students drawn from a range of relevant disciplines that extend from molecular nutrition, nutritional sciences, and nutrition and dietetics to anthropology.

Inflamation factor. Interesting perspective for evaluating food.

I still need to acquire the book, but what's especially interesting is the huge difference between farm raised and wild salmon that is given on the website. Eat some salmon for health benefits, no?

Because i consider more importante a well balanced diet based on traditional receipts over any pills to extend life. If you don't get that first, there is no point spending million in medication if you have pizza an ready made food.

The CR way

By Meredith Averill and Paul Mcglothin.

It is easy to digest and explains a lot of the science around health/calorie restriction.

[JackChristopher]

CRON-O-Meter

Plug in what you eat and this app breaks down specifics. It lists foods for you, so you don't have to. But you can add what you need. It's easy to use, and a must for anyone who takes health (or CR) seriously.

CRON-O-Meter is free and open source. For Windows, Mac & Linux. But needs Java to run.

Conscious Eating by Gabriel Cousens M.D.

[oehaut]

Alan Aragon's Research Review is a very good tool to keep in touch with science.

It's more performance/athletic oriented tho.

Still, for 10$ a month, it's a pretty pretty good ressource.

Why concentrate on what others tell you to eat so much? I suggest that if its found natural in nature, not growing in a farmers field it has much more medicinal value than what you find at a store. Obviously dangerous nightshades, high cellulose plants and unidentified berries are never safe. But, allergy testing can be done easy with foods just by rubbing it on your arm or lips. The benefit is that Wild foods contain very little starch, as where modern day cultivated foods are just garbage. Modern day genetically altered, hybrid foods and seedless fruits that cannot even reproduce in nature. Remember that we are what we eat and those foods become blood in the body and much more. Everything about us has direct correlation to the things we put into our mouth, and yes i realize we have strong stomach acid and can pretty much eat anything. However just because we can, does not mean we should. For example, I believe that if you are Native American and your entire heritage has been chasing buffalo as a staple food, yet were moved to reservation and make to live on corn, then yes you will have a problem like they have today where like 50% are diabetic. Therefor I suggest you eat what your genes have adapted too and eat as your ancestors have. However foods today are not foods and I recommend living off of, rather obtain as many natural foods as you can get your hands on. If you have to shop, then shop the perimeter of the store, as this is where all fresh produce is located, forget the isles and all the packaged garbage. I personally live as a raw foodist but wish for everyone to find what works best for them and keep in mind rotation as a practice and way of life, I never want anyone to get allergies or deficiencies to the foods they love.
When asked what is the perfect diet, its impossible to answer because we are all so different that its impossible for us to all eat the same thing. I would have to say however that just like the cow is designed to eat grass, that humans were designed to eat a cretin way also. Find your way, Peace. Rawmatt

Shopping the perimeter or a regular grocery store can kill you.

Probably not a lot of vegans here (don't even include myself as one), but for those who want to have the healthiest vegetables (everyone eats vegetables here right?) or live a proper vegan lifestyle with proper supplementation and food items.
