New ferment underway. This batch follows what seems to be my now-standard list of ingredients except that I had forgotten to buy Medjool dates. Next time I'll remember.

This means more to me than most people, because I experienced exactly what these people talk about. The difference is that I didn't know that my cognitive function and health could recover on a whole foods plant based diet. I was a perfect example. It just worked. From someone who couldn't remember 4 numbers and had to give up my part of the business, I am now as good as I ever was, now 74. Back in business! https://nutritionfacts.org/video/a-testimonial-from-dr-ornishs-alzheimers-progression-reversal-study/ @wfpb #EllieKPosts#WholeFood#Altzhiemers
@Lstn2urmama
Like they said in their written testimonials, it restored my sense of self and usefulness. I wish I had done it years before.
The thing is, I did it for Steven who is diabetic and didn't know it would do anything for me in any way. So I know it wasn't placebo effect. And no placebo could have effected that change.
(Although if a good placebo works, I'm all for it!) @wfpb
@EllieK@wfpb great news all around ...I do not do much meats as well and have to do B12 and other supplements .. inflammation has finally settled down in years.. but has left joint pains and dealing with cholesterol issue ... diabetic myself and numbers are back to normal finally after 35 years but believe Tresiba also helped .. seems I am resistant...
@Fripi@EllieK@werawelt@wfpb@vegan With regards to diets associated with longer, healthier life, the Mediterranean Diet seems to be consistently leading the way, with lots of science backing up the claim. This does emphasize healthy fats, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds. And, no, unless you have a diet deficient in something, you don't need vitamins, B12 or otherwise.
@CStamp
This diet includes fish and poultry, that is why there is no B12 needed.
But also I can't find a study that would support your claim, can you point out any good quality evidence? All studies I looked at were basically not able to make such statements based on the design.
Oh, my! Excellent chili. It's the best so far. Tempeh-based, it's a whole-food non-animal chili. Also fits a vegan diet. Tempeh is homemade. Zero added salt. Substantially more than a single serving.
High levels of ultra-processed foods linked with early death, brain issues.
I found that for me, it was much easier to cut out highly-processed foods altogether (I went on a whole-food non-animal diet) that it was to "cut back." By cutting them out altogether, I lost my taste for them in just a few weeks.
"Ultra-processed foods are ready-to-eat/heat industrial formulations made mostly or entirely from substances derived from foods, including flavors, colors, texturizers, and other additives, with little if any intact whole food."
That's the definition from a BMJ study of the effects of UPF on all-cause mortality (not good).
A quick lunch that turned out to be very tasty rapini (AKA broccoli rabe) and arugula for the greens, young red garlic, Cambray onion, fingerling potatoes, and so on.
Note to WFPB folks: don't use 100% emmer wheat flour to make tortillas/chapatis unless you're okay with using oil to prevent it from sticking. We normally eat WFPB but I had to use some coconut oil (the only type we have lying around) on my hands and on the ball itself to prevent it from sticking even to ziploc(!).
Hopefully a blend is okay (I guess I'll find out soon!).
