Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook That Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats

Product Information

I infact know a very sensitive individual who cannot tolerate regular cod liver oil but can tolerate Fermented. We think, due to fact that the regular liquid CLO is going off about a week after opening the bottle whereas the fermented one this doesn’t happen. AND/OR it could also be that the fermented CLO is the only brand containing the natural vit A and D whereas the others have synthetic replacements. She can’t seem to take the capsuled CLO either due to what the capsules are made off…but she is super sensitive though! Most people will be fine with capsule CLO.

The diets of healthy, nonindustrialized peoples contain at least four times the minerals and water-soluble vitamins, and TEN times the fat-soluble vitamins found in animal fats (vitamin A, vitamin D and Activator X, now thought to be vitamin K2) as the average American diet. Most canola oil is GMO & industrially ruined, but there are good canola oils out there & they are a very good source of omega-3. But you only need very small amounts & even less on high saturated fat where the EFAs are highly conserved. Besides, omega-3 must be converted to DHA & EPA to be used in cells. Better to get the DHA & EPA directly in Green Pasture brand Blue Ice Royal Cod liver oil with high vitamin butter oil – the best. (The partly synthetic Swanson brand Double Strength (sw1641) cod liver oil is acceptable but only in conjunction with high saturated fat diet) & with good butter. Humans need saturated fats because we are warm blooded. Our bodies do not function at room temperature, but at a tropical temperature. Saturated fats provide the appropriate stiffness and structure to our cell membranes and tissues. When we consume a lot of liquid unsaturated oils, our cell membranes do not have structural integrity to function properly, they become too “floppy,” and when we consume a lot of trans fat, which is not as soft as saturated fats at body temperature, our cell membranes become too “stiff.”Sally Fallon Morell is the founding president of the Weston A.

BTW, just for info, I have tried all kinds of vit/min supplements over the last 30 years. Time-release supplements do NOT work. The vits/mins need to be mixed with the food and liquids in the stomach before the ‘chyme’ passes into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, when the digestive enzymes get to work on it. Vits/mins released in the large intestines 6-8 hours later is useless. Truth: The annual all-cause death rate of vegetarian men is slightly more than that of non-vegetarian men (0.93% vs 0.89%); the annual all-cause death rate of vegetarian women is significantly more than that of non-vegetarian women (0.86% vs 0.54%) (Wise Traditions 2000 1:4:16-17). Avoid canned, sprayed, waxed and irradiated fruits and vegetables. Avoid genetically modified foods (found in most soy, canola and corn products). Update 2019: Due to the massive amount of research on the devastating effects of eating animals and oils/fats that have been extracted from the original plant source, I no longer recommend this book. We followed her recommendations and ate like this for 11 years and it didn't improve my kids' teeth or our health one bit. I followed everything as perfectly as possible, even the recommended supplements. My kids never drank soda or juice and have never eaten at McDonald's or other fast-food restaurants and their teeth are still terrible. I still think that if people raise their own animals and grow their own food they will dodge many diseases but my family is now eating 100% whole food plant-based. No animals, dairy, eggs, oil, added salt or refined sugars. This was an easy transition for us because we already ate almost exclusively home-cooked meals and no refined sugar. We tossed the oils, dairy, and meat. We have seen significant improvements in our health. My husband lost 30 lbs. I lost 20 lbs. My kids stopped wetting the bed at night. No one has toothaches anymore so I am expecting to see improvement there. My son's acne cleared up. I no longer have insulin resistance. We all have more energy when we run and exercise. I no longer have joint pain. None of us wakes up with stomach aches anymore. My digestion has improved greatly!

The following industrial fats can cause cancer, heart disease, immune system dysfunction, sterility, learning disabilities, growth problems and osteoporosis: The Weston A.

Life in all its splendor is Mother Nature obeyed. – Weston A. Price, DDS Contents Avoid mercury (amalgam) fillings. If you have amalgam fillings and suspect they are contributing to health problems, have them removed by a holistic dentist who specializes in mercury filling replacement. Children over 12 years and adults: 1 teaspoon or 10 capsules, providing 9500 IU vitamin A and 1950 IU vitamin D. The diet-heart hypothesis has been repeatedly shown to be wrong, and yet, for complicated reasons of pride, profit and prejudice, the hypothesis continues to be exploited by scientists, fund-raising enterprises, food companies and even governmental agencies. The public is being deceived by the greatest health scam of the century.” – George Mann, ScD, MD, Former Co-Director, The Framingham StudyFruits and vegetables receive an average of ten applications of pesticides from seed to storage. Consumers should seek out organic produce. Quality counts!

An analysis of cholesterol values . . . in 1,700 patients with atherosclerotic disease revealed no definite correlation between serum cholesterol levels and the nature and extent of atherosclerotic disease.” – Michael DeBakey, MD, Famous Heart Surgeon I have come across too many people who take vit/min supplements between meals or, worse, on an empty stomach. If you do this, you are not only not getting any benefits from the nutrients but also wasting your money. Avoid aluminum-containing foods such as commercial salt, baking powder and antacids. Do not use aluminum cookware or deodorants containing aluminum. Use only traditional vegetable oils—extra virgin olive oil, expeller-expressed sesame oil, small amounts of expeller-expressed flax oil, and the tropical oils—coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil.Nourishing Traditions is more than a cookbook–it’s an education that will lead you to “cook with pride,” as you will know that you are giving your family the proper nourishment for a lifetime of vigorous good health. Now that is the real “joy of cooking!” I was first given this book by an herbalist friend of mine who endorsed its content and position ondiet, but warned me about Sally Fallon's "spit-and-vinegar" approach to food choices and social change. No doubt--Nourishing Traditions absolutely lives up to its subtitle in Sally Fallon's direct, no-nonsense critique of prevailing nutritional values and investigation of the vagaries of processed foods. This book is both a bible of useful recipes and an argument for a considered, holistic relationship to food and diet that are incredibly valuable.

Now please dont get me wrong as I have used FCLO for many many years and do value it highly. However I believe my questions are valid given the traditional nature of the food.

I’m a fan of fermented cod liver oil. I originally bought this for my kids. They don’t always eat healthy foods. They still eat junk foods and candy. It’s so hard to avoid. Many events serve this kind of foods, birthday, halloween, valentine, christmas, and so on. When we go out of town or to the park, the choice of foods are limited as well, mostly pizza , burger or hotdog.
