@Lothric
Currently I use a bit of apple cider vinegar on shredded carrots. I haven't been adding coconut oil to make the carrot salad because I haven't enjoyed the texture/taste so I do coconut oil swish beforehand.

Are you experiencing this with all foods or just certain ones?

i researched a bit more and it seems like a not great idea

high oleic sunflower is better than regular but its overall le bad according to brad marshall

@Luke said in Cheap peaty fruit suggestions:

I don't know whether citrate has any benefits over carbonate (other than the increased bioavailability), but if you mix carbonate into orange juice, it should react with the citric acid in the juice to form calcium citrate.

Yes, I confirm:
What happens when citric acid reacts with calcium carbonate?
3CaCO3 + 2H3C6H5O7 -> Ca3(C6H5O7)2 + 3H2O + 3CO2
When calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with citric acid C6H8O7, calcium citrate is formed Ca3(C6H5O7)2 + water (H2O) and Gas (CO2) (carbonic gas). It is an acid-base reaction.
If you put calcium carbonate or calcium citrate in fruit juice, it’s going to become fizzy. The production of carbon dioxide gas typically results in bubbling or fizzing during the reaction.
It can also be called a chelated reaction since an insoluble salt of calcium (calcium carbonate) is converted into a more soluble one (calcium citrate). Calcium citrate is rather a water-soluble salt.

Comment:
How much citrate?
It depends on the ratio acid citric and carbonate. I don't know precisely but the effect is no quite immediate. Lightly delayed. Not a good idea if your eat pasta / bread / flakes 3 times a day since WGA agglutins (from wheat) are opening the tight junctions of the intestinal border brush.
Here I make an analogy with magnesium supplement when suffering from leaky gut. Not the right time to take Mg supplement during a meal with oxalates when tight junctions are not very tight. Too long / difficult too explain why.
However, the organism is repairing itself during the night. Theoretically, if we don't abuse regularly.
NB: other benefit:
Magnesium citrate or potassium citrate capture / solubilize CaOx on a much easier way (100x more easier than calcium citrate salts). Once you've suffered from lithiasis (kidney stone, but not only in kidneys), you'll take it quickly into account.

@Milk-Destroyer said in Phytoestrogen:

Do you use raw leaves?

Yes but I vary. I give examples for 2 kinds of use:

Smoothie: often with 50 g of lamb lettuce (mâche in French). Interesting for the velvety taste + the brassicae family (detox). From time to time, I vary with small raw spinach leaves. 2 big handfuls of leaves mashed potato with frozen spinach or small broccoli flowers. Once a week for each (2x portions). I add one onion, lightly fried in coco oil + 1 or 2 tsp butter and 1 egg.

@MuleMan good question. Don’t know but after all they are a result of cooking and cooling at certain stages of production. And that seems to be a no-no insofar that it results in increased resistant fiber. If it doesn’t cause issues for people I guess it would be ok, although too much resistant fiber isn’t great for anyone.
I enjoy bob s red mill brand. Tastes good, dissolves well, and has no additives. Seems they use better quality potatoes than other brands I’ve tried.

@herayclitus
I would just ask. In many Asian or Mexican stores there's a butcher that prepares the meat. You can ask them for the thyroid. I often ask for parts of meat that they don't use for my dog and it's never an issue.
Standard supermarkets will never give it to you, they follow the rules.

I live in Thailand and I found multiple scources. This is one of them I am considering the most currently: https://shop.villamarket.com/product/239286

@gg12 Sweet potatoes with maple syrup is one of my favorites too! Have you tried it with coconut milk? So delicious

@CO3

Replying in general - -

the Peaty ice cream recipe worked really well for me. It has a smooth texture following the instruction closely, and goes well with fruit. The eggs make it like a custard, but obviously with a coconut flavor. The only problem is I'm wanting to reduce fat intake, so I won't be making it again for a while.

I made a Peaty hot chocolate, I'd be interested to hear opinions on vitamin / nutrient groups involved.

1 or 2 cups whole milk

2 squares 70+% dark chocolate

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp cinnamon or other spices

1 packet (7g) gelatin (bloom in cold milk)

Texture is velvety and smooth. Good for night-time warmth/sleep. I'd rather make a Jell-O or broth/sauce for regular gelatin intake, but this is decent.

@Corngold guffanti from italy makes some good cheese. saffron and peppercorn sheep cheese, their truffle, and blue is good too.

Pre-packaged fruit cups in syrup/juice Applesauce squeeze pouches Ruger wafers (fat is coconut oil and palm kernel oil) Honey Crisp cereal Bugels Oriental Corn Chips (have to check label but a lot of them are made with coconut oil and/or palm kernel oil.) Naked Juice smoothies Microwaved/Pre-Popped Popcorn (check label to see if coconut oil, palm kernel oil, or butter. e.g. LesserEvil Himalayan Pink Salt Organic Popcorn) Reay-to-drink coconut water that has added sugar (or I mix with other juices).

My daily go-to combo at work is Naked Juice Smoothie and Ruger wafers/Bugels from the cafe. At home, it tends to be coconut water, fruit cups and applesauce squeeze pouches.

@wrl I'm not familiar with that aspect of TCM, but glad to know that as I usually have milk taken separate from other foods.

It's widely held that Chinese are lactose-intolerant but it may just apply to Southern Chinese but I wouldn't know until I get to travel in China like I scoured the US.
