  @alfredoolivas I know that small amount are good but I do not pay attention so much to the "dosage of food." May that list is more handy https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJM199308053290619?articleTools=true

  @LucH I understand, there is no way for you to assess the unique situation of my father; I was just curious if you cycled this like the others. I appreciate the additional information.

  For me brown cane suger is preferred choice "The Seven Seas Basic Vitamin Book Helene Hodge cit. from memory "rafination of sugar causes depletion of most chromium, zinc and manganese present in brown sugar" All three are important glucose regulators. Insulinase (insulin degrading enzyme) depends on zinc. (B5 ac.R.Peat?) Sugar beet and MS- azetidine/proline analogy https://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/2017/SamselSeneff_Glyphosate_VI_final.pdf " 8. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) 8.1 Sugar beet and MS The world obtains 30% of its sugar supply from beet sugar. While sugar cane is grown in tropical regions, sugar beet requires a temperate climate.[...] Studies on migrants have shown that those who move from a lowrisk to a high-risk area tend to adopt high-risk only if they migrated during childhood [105]. This implicates local environmental factors acting before adolescence. Tokachi province in Japan hosts only 0.3% of the population, but produces 45% of the sugar beet consumed in Japan [37]; this province has the highest rate of MS among all Asian populations [106]. A fascinating proposition how sugar beet could cause MS implicates a unique noncoding amino acid that is produced by sugar beet, namely Aze. Both proline and Aze have a unique structure for an amino acid: the side chain loops back round to connect up to the nitrogen atom. In the case of Aze, there are only 3 carbons in the ring instead of the 4 carbons in proline (Fig. 2). It has been shown experimentally that Aze can be inserted by mistake into proteins in place of proline [38]."

  @Jennifer said in any downside to having cooked shiitake mushrooms frequently?: @Mossy, I bet your potato soup is delicious! The bacon is a splurge I only get periodically, but I found ways to stretch it. The fat from 1 lb of it is enough to roast 4 lb of potatoes or kabocha squash, for example, then I just chop up the bacon, add it to the (seasoned) roasted veggies, add cheese, top it with some sour cream, and my dad gets at least 6 meals out of it. I get the woodland over conventional for purely ethical reasons. I’m a bad Peater—I’m not concerned about PUFA in whole foods, especially when the food is as nutritious as animal proteins. I thought I would transfer this over to a new cooking thread.  I hope you don't mind the title, as it's more creative than just "Cooking Talk". I do think the potato soup is pretty good, but I have nothing to really judge it against.  I've just started cooking with any serious schedule about a year or so ago, and that was out of necessity. So while I enjoy food, and the idea of many various dishes, the reality of daily cooking has me wanting to be as efficient as I can get away with.  My lens into what, and how, I should cook is always first from an efficiency perspective, which I've adopted into a one pot only perspective...haha.  (If I can get away with it.)  So I use an Instant Pot as much as I can.  Just recently, though, I have branched out into using the oven a tiny bit.  Your roasted veggies with bacon sounds good, which mimics a classic frozen dinner my dad used to really like.  Basically, a gloried baked potato.  Even beyond the ethical reasons, woodland pork would definitely be better than conventional: I see they purposely do not feed the pigs corn or soy.  I tend to follow your PUFA in whole foods perspective, as budget and availability limit many of my options.  The more processed and refined foods get, the more cautious I am about PUFA and other negatives.  As a general rule, whole food, cooking from scratch seems to be best.  I don't think I'd call you a bad Peater!
