Hi. I heard on Jeff Rense's program that Beef(canadian and American) contains BLV(above). A few  internet searches seem to confirm this. Is this the case with grain-fed beef and/or all BEEF?

Hey everyone. Researching the pesticide content of meat I have decided to focus on eggs as the staple of my diet: any criticism to the following? Any nutrients lacking in eggs that would necessitate another dietary addition(such as liver)? Keep in mind I am stranded and have little access to quality food: it's either grain-fed beef or eggs plus grain-fed liver....? what should I do?

What causes more flatulence: beef or eggs? I have been having trouble with both and wonder if I'm consuming simply too much?(1 dozen eggs and 1 lb. of ground beef per day)? ANyone had similar experiences?

Would this be a possible perhaps ideal source of magnesium? Or toxic???

A simple question: should one include cheese in the diet?
I do but am seriously considering eliminating it to avoid calcification of the soft tissues and casein protein. What are the communities'  thoughts on cheese and its benefits/detriments?

Are they a necessity in diet? I personally feel that the fibre is a desirable thing as without the stools come out hard and with difficulty. Anyone had similar experiences? Why not include herbs and vegetables? If not why not? If so what types would be the best? I am currently incorporating boiled cabbage and dried parsley and oregano as well as turmeric, garlic, ginger, cayenne, black pepper, paprika(all in dried or powdered form as I don't like to waste time cooking and minimizing preparation). What are the arguments for and against including vegetable matter in the diet?

Hi. I would like to know what sort of vegetables can be fermented from a raw state which don't contain goitrogens. I have recently heard that sauerkraut contains alot and that it should be avoided for this reason.  Any thoughts. I am looking mainly into probiotic substances that don't necessarily require refrigeration(at least for a good while).

I hear that in the orient certain kinds of meat are viable options. The list includes such fare as canine and feline varieties of all sorts and descriptions as well as rodents. Perhaps those in the western world would be better advised to avail themselves of the domesticated fare in place of throwing away societies resources on "pleasure animals", a.k.a 'pets. Just a thought for the environmentally inclined. Why not eat DOGGIES and KITTIES? I hear many a pup is given away and needs a home...why not in the oven? Seriously...if the PC crowd advocates chopping the balls off animals so they can't live a "NATURAL" life propagating their won kind would it not be better to make them into food? Whould this be unhealthy given the diet of most domesticated pets? Let me hear you thoughts(p.s try to keep the moralizing to tolerable levels)...

Ever considered eating:
Fish meal
krill meal
crab meal
lobster meal
meal worm meal
or for that matter any other 'meal'? I have although I must say I have reservations based on sneaking suspicions that the content of the meal is possibly full of toxins. Nevertheless I would be willing to give it a go on the following grounds:
(1) survival food. The 'meal' can be powdered and stored for 2+years.
(2) It is an 'on-the-go' type food that can be mixed with anything or consumed by itself(just ad water!).
(3) It is cost effective and can be ordered in bulk quantities(at approx. $1/lb).

The variety of 'meals', which I take to be used as livestock feed(or domesticated animal feed) is sufficiently varied that it could constitute a staple in one's diet and furnish one with a broad range of nutrients. So my question is: is it a healthful option? Why or why not?
In a way it could be considered an envronmentally friendly option as the constituents of the 'meals' are the cast-offs of the products others consume(the 'fancy' foods).Let me know your thoughts.

Hi again everyone. I am wondering whether it would be hazardous to health to consume lemon juice daily(and how much)? I am thinking that it will aid digestion and clean out the tract of potentially lethal fecal matter etc. But...I am also thinking that it may create an overly acidic PH of body fluids and possible tooth decay. Would anyone have any advisements as to how much I should or shouldn't drink? And how...

Hi all. Just wondering under what conditions raw egg yolk cholesterol would become oxidized. If I take a dozen and put them in a bowl while I cook up the whites(10 minutes) and, for sake of argument, all the yolks break, would the cholesterol oxidize in this time or am I off track re: conditions/causes of O2 cholesterol? Feedback appreciated.

A simple example illustrates the intent of this question: Product A:free-range, grain-fed chicken eggs: $6.00/dozen Product B:factory eggs: $2.30/dozen

Weighing costs and benefits, would it not behoove one to simply up the intake of Product B and forgo product A altogether if one desires to increase nutrient intake? I mean this with regards to: beef, cheeses, eggs, butter, organs, and all other animal products and by-products. It seems the organic folk are very good salespeople.

Should one consume as much cholesterol as possible in the diet? I am consuming 1 dozen eggs, 1 lb. of beef, 200 grams of butter each day and 7 oz. of liver every second day(substitution for 1x 1/2 lb. serving of beef). What should I do people: increase cholesterol containing foods, decrease or stay the course? My interests are in enhancing brain function, feelings of well-being and testosterone levels. Advice is nice, when corroborated with sound science/folk wisdom or personal anecdotes
