What's the sense in being healthy if you cannot be happy?
I want to die happy, I'm just not ready to die yet!

When you say no fried foods, do you mean battered and deep fried? Of anything using a frying pan?
I fry eggs in butter a few times a week.

Everyone wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to go today!

As with most dairy products removing the fat does almost no good and ends up doing a lot of bad.

Wait, what?

Skim milk vs. whole milk.
Skim milk has all the fat removed. What is left? Sugar. WTF do yo want to drink a glass of lactose for?
With the fat, digestion is slowed and the sugars are slowly converted to energy rather than causing a blood sugar spike/Insulin spike and corresponding storage as fat.

Cream...All fat, no sugar. If you prefer some dairy in your coffee, use cream. Heavy cream, not half and half. It's thicker and richer but no sugar.

In the late 70's a milk started being sold as 99% fat free. Sounded good, but whole milk by standard is 97% fat free.

But 99% fat free looks dynamite on a label.

But what if being healthy makes you happy? We're all different.

I don't know how to spell it...or pronounce it...but I am serious.

I wasn't making light of the seriousness of that condition. I thought you misspelled it for amusement.

Not knowing how to spell it, I did intentionally mis spell it.

Which made me think of all the assholes who fight battles using bullshit. So tired of potentially smart assholes who wasted their brain power on better ways to stay lazy, instead of smarter ways to get real shit done.

Thank you.

I always eat a little bit of the ginger (Japanese ham) that comes with my sushi, but I will now start adding it as an everyday ritual.

"Turmeric supplements have been linked to a number of cases of liver injury, most recently in a United States-based study.
Previous research from Italy and published case studies have linked turmeric supplementation, or supplementation with its active compound curcumin, to liver injury. This latest research shows rates of liver injury linked to turmeric could be increasing.
The latest study, published inThe American Journal of Medicine in 2023, looked at the turmeric-associated liver injury cases recorded in the US by the US Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network (DILIN) between 2004 and 2022."

Here in America, we tend to pick and choose supposedly healthy ingredients.
Example, in Okinawa people eat cabbage almost every day.
In America we now embrace eating brassicas as healthy and helpful in preventing cancer.
Japanese eat a diet high in magnesium from fish and seaweed mostly.
Americans eat only the cabbage.
Problem is, eating a lot of cabbage without the magnesium makes your diet more likely to cause cancer rather than prevent it.
We don't like to eat the whole Japanese diet, nor the whole Mediteranean diet. Even an "Eskimo" diet of just whale blubber will prevent you from getting heart disease!
Embrace the whole diet for better results!
