One of the advantages of posting to blog carnivals as I've been doing lately is that I am exposed to so many new blogs. And I've screened them all for you to bring you the best of the best! This month, many of them are science-oriented, but I also found a few awesome recipes & other tidbits.
- Crockpot Pumpkin Custard for Fall (GAPS Legal)
- Cara, author of the 30 Days on GAPS Intro ebook, What Can I Eat Now?, has an utterly scrumptious and easy pumpkin custard recipe for the crockpot. Given that I am currently drowning in neck pumpkins, I need great pumpkin recipes. Thanks Cara!
- The Ingredient Allowed in Organic Food That Can Cause Cancer
- Sarah, the healthy home economist, posted this important article about carrageenan, "a likely human carcinogen that triggers massive gastointestinal inflammation and symptoms in many people".
- Crazy Good Coffee Pot Roast
- This yummy crockpot recipe was posted on Fast Paleo by Real Food Freaks - this one is definitly a keeper!
- What’s in My Tap Water? (pt 2 in our water series)
- Did you see the movie Tapped? I watched it on Netflix a few weeks ago. Got me thinking pretty hard, so when I saw Jen's post on Real Food Freaks, I went back to her previous post, and am now keeping up with the series. This is good info.
- We didn't have the green thing back in our day
- This post on Homestead Survival made me chuckle.
- Book Summary: Wheat Belly by William Davis, MD
- Lisa over at The Healing Project posted a summary of the entire Wheat Belly book sans chapter 10.
- Creamy GAPS gravy
- Lauren at Empowered Sustenance posted this very simple recipe which looks utterly scrumptious. It might be worth adding some yogurt or sour cream to make it a white gravy.
- My Live Call-In Show with Jimmy Moore is Now a Podcast
- Jenny of Blood Sugar 101 has also written a book on low-carb dieting, which is what she was discussing with Jimmy Moore. Her post discusses what is realistic to expect wrt weight loss, and she also touches on the problems low-carbing can cause with depressed T3.
- Monsanto's point of no return
- Joel Dyer has an excellent article in Boulder Weekly analyzing Monsanto's seeds in the marketplace and the shortage of other options for farmers.
- Why Gluten-Free Is Just Not Enough
- Jill, the real food forager, reviews Leaky gut and autoimmune diseases by Alessio Fasano, M.D. from the February 2012 issue of Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology. This is cutting-edge research that explains exactly why autoimmune disorders, rather than being a life sentence, may be corrected by sealing & healing the gut. This is the article about zonulin, if you've been waiting to understand what that is (it was on my to-do list to look it up, so Jill saved me some time).
Jill is offering a 12-week class, go grain-free for those on GAPS, SCD or ancestral diets (Primal or Paleo) - use couponcode NOGRAINS for an extra $20 off!
- Dr. Oz on Gut Flora Repair
- Dr. Ayers of cooling inflammation posted about the bizarre notion of the medical community that we can somehow repair our screwed-up gut population without actually eating some bacteria! His post amused me. Read the comments too, he gets a lot of interesting commenters over there.
- Death of PETA spokesman
- Kaayla, the naughty nutritionist, posted a thoughtful discussion of heart disease and the vegan vs. WAPF dietary inteverentions. Again, the comments are very worthwhile.
