Choose Butter...

I will never use margarine ever again and haven't now for many years because I know exactly how's it's made...

I know organic butter is a bit expensive but it's well worth the health benefits even if it hurts your wallet...

I cook predominately with rice bran oil, for the occasional stir fry I use peanut or sesame oil...I use cold pressed olive oil for salads and organic butter for everything else eg, toast, scrambled eggs, white sauce, homemade cakes or muffins and occasional homemade biscuits etc...

Please give me some feed back after reading this article below..if in doubt do your own research...will you still use margarine after knowing how it's made???

(NaturalNews) By now, you may be wondering if you read right after seeing the article headline. For many years, people have been brainwashed into thinking that margarine is healthier than natural, organic raw butter when it comes to food preparation.

While butter is a 100% natural food product, margarine is 100% man-made. This is a substance that you would never ever eat again if you knew how it was manufactured, and what it consisted of. All margarines and margarine products are made of vegetable oils which have been heated to extremely high temperatures. This causes the oils in the margarine to become rancid. Once that is done, a nickel catalyst is added to them, along with hydrogen atoms, to ensure that the oils solidify. The really shocking part is that deodorants and colorants are then added to it in order to mask the horrible smell and highly unappetizing grey color of the unfinished product. (By the way, nickel is a highly toxic heavy metal, and no matter what, amounts of it will remain in the finished product.) The final solidification process creates harmful trans-fatty acids, which are highly carcinogenic.

Margarine contains other extremely harmful ingredients such as free radicals, emulsifiers, preservatives, free radicals, artificial flavors, bleach, soy protein isolate (MSG), sterols, and hexane, as well as many other artificial and synthetic ingredients. Hexane in itself should never be consumed, as it is derived from crude oil. Sterols are estrogen compounds which can cause endocrine problems and also have the ability to contribute to sexual inversion in animals. BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) is used as a preservative in most margarine products. What is really concerning about this ingredient is that it is also linked to symptoms and side effects such as abdominal pain, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. It may also cause liver problems. Being highly combustible, it may also not be a wise idea to consume BHT if you intend spending time near any fires or sources of open flames.

Many people believe that by consuming margarine, they will lower their cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is actually needed by our bodies in order to maintain intestinal health. It also assists with brain and nervous system development in children.

Butter is a lot better for us than margarine because it contains the following ingredients that are needed by our bodies in order to help us function optimally. It contains vitamins A, D, E and K in their natural forms. It contains a category of fatty acids known as glycospingolipids, which help to prevent gastrointestinal infections, especially in children and the elderly. This is why it is important for children to only consume organic, raw full-cream dairy products. Butter also contains selenium as well as iodine which is utilized by the thyroid.

Butter also helps to prevent many diseases and conditions which are major cash cows for big pharma: such as arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease (those consuming butter were 50% less likely to develop heart disease as opposed to those who consumed margarine products), thyroid health, asthma, fertility problems and obesity (the CLA and short-and-medium chain fatty acids found in butter also help to prevent weight gain, making it a far better option health-and-taste wise to have on your dinner table).

I'm back...and I'm posting another blog on sugar..

Hello,

I took a break for a couple of months from writing blogs because I just didn't feel like writing...

Last night I watched 60mins and they presented a story on sugar..I was appaled that a registered Nutritionist said that 10 teaspoons of sugar per day is a "moderate" amount of sugar...umm hello you have got to be kidding...I've worked along side Dentists who have lectured patients for eating 30-40 teaspoons of sugar per week...now that's just the sugar they willingly add to coffee, tea, toast etc, not the hidden sugars...the hidden sugars are in just about everything that comes out of a packet, processed foods, cereals, biscuits, cakes, rice crackers, tomato sauce, bbq sauce, spagetti sauce...I could go on and on but you get the picture...

So if you want to continue to eat copious amounts of sugar go ahead...Dentists are getting richer and your getting poorer not to mention sugar can cause so many medical issues, type 2 Diabetes, it weakens your immune system, can cause food allergies, it increases your risk of cancer and heart disease..

I just googled the effects sugar can have on your body and I'm amazed with so much education out there we still continue to believe sugar is "ok" we have done all the fad diets, "low carb diet" low fat diet" so why are we still fat???

If you missed the 60mins story last night I encourage you to go to the website and watch it...low fat and high sugar diets are not the answer..I was so pleased to hear a professor say during the story that sugar is as addictive as hard core drugs, eg cocaine and heroin..

They even did a test with the reporter from 60mins, I can't remember her name but very interesting to see just what happened to her brain whilst they accessed her sipping COKE..

Sugar is a short fix to make you happy...but really at the end of the day considering the medical risks not to mention your Dental bills is it worth it???

I use small quantity's of honey or stevia when I have "sugar" this is a simple table below about sugar however there is a so much more information on the web...check it out for yourself..

Sugars 101 -- Basics of How to Avoid Confusion on this Important Topic

It is easy to become confused by the various sugars and sweeteners. So here is a basic overview:

• Dextrose, fructose and glucose are all monosaccharides, known as simple sugars. The primary difference between them is how your body metabolizes them. Glucose and dextrose are essentially the same sugar. However, food manufacturers usually use the term "dextrose" in their ingredient list.
• The simple sugars can combine to form more complex sugars, like the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), which is half glucose and half fructose.
• High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose.
• Ethanol (drinking alcohol) is not a sugar, although beer and wine contain residual sugars and starches, in addition to alcohol.
• Sugar alcohols like xylitol, glycerol, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol, and erythritol are neither sugars nor alcohols but are becoming increasingly popular as sweeteners. They are incompletely absorbed from your small intestine, for the most part, so they provide fewer calories than sugar but often cause problems with bloating, diarrhea and flatulence.
• Sucralose (Splenda) is NOT a sugar, despite its sugar-like name and deceptive marketing slogan, "made from sugar." It's a chlorinated artificial sweetener in line with aspartame and saccharin, with detrimental health effects to match.
• Agave syrup, falsely advertised as "natural," is typically HIGHLY processed and is usually 80 percent fructose. The end product does not even remotely resemble the original agave plant.
• Honey is about 53 percent fructose[2], but is completely natural in its raw form and has many health benefits when used in moderation, including as many antioxidants as spinach.
• Stevia is a highly sweet herb derived from the leaf of the South American stevia plant, which is completely safe (in its natural form). Lo han (or luohanguo) is another natural sweetener, but derived from a fruit.

Almond Milk..

I make my own Protein Formula for Zach my now 17 month old, he has been drinking it since he was 3 weeks old and full time after I lost my breast milk at 7 months..I started making the almond milk about 6 months ago..it's really easy to make..


There is no set recipe anything goes..for eg you could just use almonds only or add other nuts too..


I get a huge saucepan or plastic bowl and put almonds, pepitas, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, brazil and hazelnuts..I generally use 1/2 cup of each of the nuts except almonds I use 3 or 4 packets (250g) then you cover with water and make sure you check after a few hours because the nuts can absorb a bit of water and the level will come down and you need to just top up the water level..


Soak the nuts for 8-12 hours then rinse well..the water that is drained from the nuts looks like a black cup of tea..


Depending on your food processor size depends on how much you can put in it..start with a cup or 2 of the nuts and add water slowly to you get a milk consistency..it's up to you how thick or thin you want the milk to be..


I strain the milk to get the bulk amount of the nuts..some people don't strain it but it doesn't pass through the teet for Zach's bottle if I don't strain it..


You can use the nuts (I call the paste) to make porridge or if you wanted you could make your own spread..I've not done this yet but all you would need to do is add your preferred oil, almond oil would probably be the best and mix till it's spreadable..


Below is a paragraph I took from an article written by my Naturapath..
Eat Raw Protein Daily
Kyle Grimshaw-Jones ND, RT
www.conscioushealing.com.au

Nuts and seeds are vegetarian sources of raw proteins. They require an overnight soaking in water, followed by a morning rinsing, to leach out the enzyme inhibitors which prevent the enzymes in them from growing them into a plant. These same enzyme inhibitors also prevent your digestive enzymes from digesting the nutrients in them. Almonds, for example, also contain tannins, and prussic and tannic acids, which are leached out during the soaking and rinsing process. Brazil nuts are the best source on record that I could find for methionine, an amino acid essential in heavy metal detoxification from the liver, and often deficient in vegetarian diets. Soaked nuts are a great snack, go well blended into smoothies or eaten with porridge, and can also be dried again at very low temperature so they can be stored for prolonged periods of time..

A more extensive read is another article I googled below..the internet has a world of info so if you want to further study or research any of the info I give you please do so..

Discover the nutrient benefits of soaking raw almonds!

Discover The Health Benefits of Soaking Almonds

Almonds are considered, by nutritionists, to be the healthiest, most nutritious nuts of all.

Almonds are a rich source of protein containing fiber, omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, and zinc.

Almonds are also difficult to digest because of an enzyme inhibiting substance in their brown coating.

The enzyme inhibitor is there to keep the almond more intact until it is ready to sprout into a tree.

For humans, the inability of the nut to release its enzymes interferes with the digestive process makes digestion more difficult, and creating the loss of nutrient value of the almond.

Solution? Soaking eliminates the problem.

The key to maintaining the nutrient value is to only use almonds that are raw.

The eating and soaking process are practically useless if the almonds are pasteurized or roasted since both processes destroy the almonds healthy enzymes.

No Enzymes — No Digestion!

Unfortunately for us, a recent law requires all almonds grown in the U.S. to be pasteurized.  And yet the USDA still allows these processed almonds to be called raw even though they no longer are.

Don’t be fooled.  The so-called raw almonds found in health food stores are all pasteurized!

The law is weird. Almond farmers can sell raw unpasteurized almonds from roadside stands or mail order but not to food distributors or markets.

Another good source of true raw unpasteurized almonds is imported raw almonds.  You can find them atwww.livingnutz.com, (they are reasonably priced) or Google raw almonds on the Internet and several other sources will show up.

All almonds have the protective brown skin which contains the harmful tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors.

Soaking removes harmful tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors making the nuts easy to digest and releasing their full nutritional value.  Soaking also makes the nut softer and easier to chew.

Always chew nuts thoroughly, whether soaked or not. Big chunks of un-chewed nuts can be hard on the digestive tract.

In addition, all nuts contain phytic acid in their outer layer or bran.  Untreated phytic acid can form insoluble or nearly insoluble compounds with many metal ions, including those of calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc.  These compounds reduce dietary availability.

Soaking decreases the levels of this phytic acid.

Procedure:

Soak the almonds in cool water and drain the soaked water after 20-40 minutes. Add fresh water and continue the soaking for another 8-12 hours.

Be sure the water covers all the almonds.  Cover the bowl with something breathable like a cloth towel and leave the bowl in a warm place (room temperature).  In the morning you can drain the water and eat them.

Eating 6 soaked almonds in the morning is recommended by many nutritionists.  If you have soaked more nuts than six, refrigerate them after draining and drying on a paper towels.

If you want to continue to sprout them, you can.  They make one of the best sprouts.  Being that the almond skin is potentially irritating to the lining of the stomach and intestines, the almonds should be blanched following the soaking.

To blanch almonds:

• Place the soaked almonds in a saucepan of boiling water for 7 seconds.
• Immediately remove from heat and drain.
• Cover almonds with cold water to cool.
• Press each almond between thumb and forefinger to slip off skin.
• Dry almonds on paper towels.

You can also try blanching them in hot water from your faucet for 15 – 30 seconds.

The same soaking benefits apply to most nuts with a brown skin, but not to nuts with white skin like macadamias or pine nuts.

Taking the time to soak your almonds before eating is always worth the effort.  So be sure you soak them first to obtain the fully enhanced benefits of this power food.

Get your day off to a roaring start.  Add 6 blanched raw almonds to your oatmeal in the morning.

To your good heath & longevity.

Are we still friends after the sugar topic?

I thought I would write a bit more about me..I'm very good at talking lol..just ask my friends..I better watch what I say as I may get loads of comments for this one hee hee..

Well by now if you have been reading my posts you will know I'm in the older bracket Mummies group..I always wanted to have children from a very young age, I just wanted to choose the right guy to have them with..

I've definitely kissed a few frogs in my time..

I might save for another time the story "love" story of how Dan and I met..

I will skip that part to up to our wedding day..on our wedding day we found out our friends were taking bets to guess how long until we would have kids..the shortest bet was of course 9 months, however the longest was only 2.5 years from our wedding day..Dan does not possess the honeymoon hitman title it goes to our dear friend Kerin whom got his beautiful wife Sarah pregnant on day 2 of their honeymoon..good job Kerin..I'm sure he won't mind me telling you that..isn't that the ultimate ego boost for a guy to get his wife up the duff on their honeymoon???

Back to the story Kath..I can go off on a tangent sometimes lol, Dan is always correcting me on this one..

So Dan and I told our friends before the wedding day that we would be waiting at least 5 years to have kids..Zach was born in our 8th year of marriage..

Dan is definitely my prince..I knew from the 1st kiss that he was amazing and on day 6 of dating I knew he was the "one" you know the one everyone talks about...I think that people can put alot of expectation on the thought of the "one" or "soul mate" I believe LOVE is a choice and not just a feeling..I made a commitment to him in front of family, friends and God to love him forever..I can tell you that when I was dating Dan I literally could of melted into the carpet when he entered the room, I couldn't sleep or eat at times from the "love" butterflies in my belly..he is still the love of my life but I do not melt into the carpet when he enters a room nor do I miss a meal on accounts of love..sleep is another topic cause I have a child now and I may not ever ever sleep the same again lol..

So you get the drift..I'm a very happily married 38 year old who has her own toy boy yep..Dan is 5 years 3/4 months exactly younger than me.. : ) whilst I was writing this Dan made me a yummy salmon salad.. : )

Dan will get lots of blog time as most of the stories I will write will include him..so I will just let you know one last thing that is soo amazing about him before I go and play with Zach who is currently eating his lunch..

God definitely knew not just what I wanted in a man but what I needed to..and he promised me that my prince was going to be the father of my children..Dan is the best Dadda ever..he is a completely hands on Dad who will do anything that needs to be done..

One last thing I promise..Dan had to take a job last October where he lives away from us 23 days a month : ( he is only home 3.5 days a fortnight so time with us is even more precious..

Don't hate me for this one...my opinion about sugar..

Ok so here comes the cold hard truth, my opinion about SUGAR.. : )

I'm not a big fan of sugar..natural sugar from fruit that is picked off the tree etc I give the BIG thumbs up..fruit put into a roll up, muslie bar, yogurt, etc I give the thumbs down..

I have seen the damage of sugar inside thE mouth many many times..I've cried inside whilst assisting a Dentist remove every baby tooth (deciduous teeth) in a 3 year olds mouth because every single one was rotten (heavily decayed)..

I will be honest and say that some of these Mummies I've wanted to sit them down and give them a good lecture..you may be thinking that this only occurs in the poor social economic areas..your wrong this happens everywhere and some of the kids who's teeth were rotting out of their heads came from wealthy families..in some cases the parents were Doctors, Lawyers etc etc..you get the point..

Despite the education out there about sugar, everyone is fighting a losing battle when so many food products have what I feel unneccessary amounts of sugar in them and in some cases I have no idea why it even needs it in there at all..

Coke and V drinks are on the top of my list as a huge BIG no for kids.. : (

We are a small country in comparison to America yet we have well and truly caught up to them with obesity and Type 2 Diabetes..

Everyone is to busy to eat well so to save time people buy quick and easy which can be detrimental to their health..

Why do we not care as much??? especially for our kids..convenience seems to win everytime..

I could write pages on this topic..pages of foods that are loaded with sugar but I won't why? cause you don't seriously want to read pages and pages, just as much as I'm not so keen to write it..common sense people everyone has it + the 2 eyes we have been blessed with to read what is in the food we buy..

I'm a realist though and I do believe in "moderation" and I don't think you can completely cut sugar out of your diet "forever" but you can monitor how much you eat..

I also do not like pre packaged juices, ribena or cordial to be given to kids everyday..I won't get started about these..dam it..I couldn't help myself but again I could of got pages and pages on this subject..I will give you the basic info and if you want to further research a product, topic I've written about go for it..knowledge is power...

Definitely express juice at home from a juicer to drink yourself and for the kids (BIG thumbs up)

Is Reconstituted Fruit Juice Nutritious?

Unsurprisingly, reconstituted fruit juices do not offer the high nutritional qualities of their freshly squeezed counterparts. Enzymes required for adequate food metabolism and the immune system are destroyed through the process of heating and reconstitution. Vitamin C levels are also depleted significantly, but artificially added back by most manufacturers at a later date.

Reconstituted fruit juice labels may also be misleading, as there is no current Australian regulation to enforce juice companies' list where the concentrate itself originates. Domestic harvests can great vary season to season in Australia, and shortfalls of juice concentrate used to in the reconstituted juices may be imported from offshore. This is especially concerning when there is possibility the concentrate comes from countries such as China, where there are no strict health codes of practice in place. It is also worth checking the labels to ensure the reconstituted juice hasn't been produced from less expensive juices such as apple or grape, which offer a significantly less nutritional value..

How to Choose Nutritious Juice

When choosing a juice, it is always best to stick the organic variety. They will only contain natural preservatives such as citric acid, and offer a higher concentration of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Organic juices are also free of cancer-causing pesticides often used to produce genetically modified crops, and contain no added sugar, colours or additives.


I will use 1 example of food..this product of food is consumed by millions everyday YOGURT..

This applies to both adults and kids but especially kids..

Yogurt shouldn't be loaded with sugar but it is..kids yogurts are the worst..

Below is just a small piece of info that I researched and this article was written by a registered Dietition..like any topic I write I could give you so much info your head like mine might explode..I don't think it's always necessary to get to many opinions and confirmations..when you know it own it and share it..I also pride myself on the motto when you know better you do better..I stand behind my word..I'm not just preaching at you..I do what I say, I'm not exempt..I'm not sitting up on my pedestal looking down and judging you so I hope that is not conveyed? 

So before you read the article below I just want you to know that this is my opinion, I'm not a Dietition, Doctor or Nutritionist..I'm a Mummy and also a woman who tries to keep a low sugar diet..my 17 month old has only ever had sugar from apples, pears, rice, oat and almond milk..and of course the yogurt below..

There is only 2 can you believe 2 yogurts I recommend to eat for you and your little ones..

The 1st one is the only yogurt my son Zach has ever known..

BIO DYNAMIC ORGANIC WHOLE MILK YOGURT (Jalna)

This yogurt has no gelatine, starches or food acids added..
It is Australian made and owned

Free of stabilizers
No use of pesticides, herbicides and growth hormones
It is loaded with Bifdobacterium and Lactobacillus 600,000,000 probiotic count per serve...
It has 41g of natural milk sugar for a 1kg tub..

Zach loves it..

It doesn't have Dora or the Wiggles on the label and is not in an easy 1 serve size tub..it only cost between $6 and $7 Aud..compare the price you pay for packs of 4 tubs..not to forget a mention of the saving of packaging buying the big tub..

Here is the chart below..

The 2nd yogurt I recommend is good old plain greek yogurt..
This is the article written by a registered Dietition

Criteria
There are five important factors in choosing yogurt: sugar content, added ingredients, calcium, live and active cultures and taste (of course).

Sugar: Because milk already contains natural sugar in the form of lactose, it can be difficult to tell how much added sugar is in the product. The best thing to do is to compare the sugars in the plain version (if it’s available) to the flavored one. So if the flavored product has 26g of sugar and the plain has 13g the product would contain 13g of added sugar.
In general, plain yogurt and milk has about 12g of sugar per 8 ounces. So that means 4 ounces has about 6g and 6 ounces has about 9g. After examining a number of products the following cut offs for total sugars seem reasonable. 8oz: 26g or less, 6oz: 20g or less and 4oz: 13g or less.
Tip: Flavors like vanilla tend to have less sugar than fruity flavors and fat-free yogurt usually has more sugar than low fat or whole.

Added ingredients: Watch out for artificial colors, preservatives and filler ingredients that make for less yogurt in the cup. Look for yogurts without artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup. Just plain old sugar will do.

Live & Active Cultures: You want to make sure that the yogurt you choose contains “live & active cultures,” which are also called probiotics. If you see the Live & Active Culture seal from the Yogurt Association, you know the product contains adequate amounts.

The large intestine needs healthy, “good” bacteria to thrive and help fight disease. These live bacteria also help breakdown lactose so people with lactose intolerance may be able to enjoy yogurt.
Calcium: The smaller the serving size, the less calcium the yogurt will contain. Shoot for at least 15% Calcium for 4 oz (150mg), 20% for 6 oz (200mg) and 30% for 8 oz (300mg).
Fat and organic: Kids under two need full fat dairy products for optimal growth and brain development so choose whole yogurt for them. People over two can go with low fat or fat-free yogurt (3g of fat or less).

I didn’t include organic in the criteria. Generally, I recommend full fat yogurt be organic but leave it optional for lower fat varieties. For more details see Is Organic Milk Worth the Price?

Yogurts that fit the bill

1. Plain Yogurt (any brand): You don’t need me to tell you that plain is the healthiest choice for yogurt. I highly recommend parents start their babies on plain whole organic yogurt instead of the flavored kind and keep them on it.

I made the mistake of offering my daughter sweetened yogurt and she looked at me like I had two heads when I tried to give her plain again.

At the end of the day it's all about choice...I'm choosing to not worship the sugar God..hee hee..

Dandruff..

My hubby Dan has always had terrible dandruff over the years..

He has used very cheap "anti" dandruff shampoo's and conditioner's to the most expensive ones you can buy..

Let me tell you using cheap "anti" dandruff shampoo's are the worst..the more expensive ones stop it for a while but it always comes back..

Using cheap hair products also is a no no for dandruff sufferers..in this case cheaper isn't better or the same..

Most male hairdressers, salons, or barbers will recommend products they use, Dan has tried many of these to with no long term resolve..

We have been married 10 years this June and he has always had dandruff..

He had his haircut last week in our local shopping centre and the guy that cut his hair recommended "American Crew" products especially designed for men..I'm sure American Crew has great product however a 200ml bottle of shampoo was approx $25..very expensive for us and most working class families, especially for a product you don't know will work..

Another chat with the amazing wise owl Raymond and guess what he said???

Yep you guessed it to use Zach's shampoo mixed with coconut oil..

I used Gaia's organic shampoo for Zach..

Raymond recommended to not use an organic shampoo for Dan's hair so I bought him Johnson and Johnson conditioning shampoo 500mls about $8 combined with 500mls of coconut oil the total cost for 1 Litre approx $15..

And finally a product that works yay...

It's not completely natural, but it's a better alternative to some products he has used..I'm sure if I researched it I could probably find a more natural way..that isn't always my goal..I'm happy with the combination above..

Cradle Cap...

A natural way to fix cradle cap..

Rub almond oil or olive oil onto the scalp each day until the cradle cap goes..

Zach had cradle cap a couple of times and even though both oils work they left his hair greasy for a couple of days..

I asked my hairdresser Raymond for some tips and he advised me to put natural coconut oil into his shampoo..I use 50% shampoo and 50% coconut oil..it smells delicious, keeps cradle cap at bay, is non greasy and best of all it leaves his hair so shiny...

Any baby shampoo is ok..
