:D Agreed Iris, a plain chilli is something that must be worked up to in order to be pleasurable. However if it can be done and a raw chilli actually has a wonderful amount of gustatory merit. It really is delicious. The only way I can describe it is that it tastes very much like some 'sweet' flower...

After doing some reading I thought I had better follow this up with a caveat. Everyone has a different distribution of bacterial flora living in their armpit and this method will only work for someone with noisome bacterial that are not resistant to the free fatty acids produced. I wonder why groups...

Deodorant

I have recently been using extra virgin coconut oil as food and also as a moisturiser after I read that bacteria on the skin can break the triglycerides in the coconut oil down into free fatty acids that have a strong antimicrobial effect. I habitually use a crystal deodorant that has served me fait...

From what I remember of a study that I can no longer recall the name of and therefore not substantiate, is that when babies are given autonomous control of their diet they tend to choose bone marrow every time :) My own children love bone marrow, egg yolk, cream, butter, cheese and raw cows milk. It...

I suppose one could argue that chilli is actually a fruit intended for birds, as birds are not affected by the capsaicin content. However, similar arguments certainly don't stop me eating blackberries. :)

I am afraid I am not swayed by your logic, as I can think of many instances where things that, although they are good for us, repel us at first. The literature that I have reviewed so far is predominantly supportive of the inclusion of chilli in a balanced diet, as it has many health benefits. Excep...

I am quite interested in the Wai approach, it makes strong intuitive sense to eat plant foods that have made symbiotic adaptations to aid in animal digestive assimilation, and to avoid plant foods that are by comparison, inimical to assimilation. I'm not sure that capsaicin is an anti-nutrient as I ...

My personal experience with a low carb diet was very good. My skin cleared up as quickly as on the wai diet, if not a little quicker. I was eating mainly bacon (very lightly cooked, seared both sides) egg (lightly fried) cream Natural yogurt (high fat) Chicken (cooked) Sashimi (Mainly salmon) Beef (...

Chilli and Capsicum

As chillies and capsicums are fruits, I presume that they are allowed in the diet, however I do not see them used very often in this forum.

Do they contain more anti nutrients than other fruits or is this simply a taste issue?

I am also curious about okra.

I'm living in Singapore, so this is in SGD, but mine is less than $250. I suppose that is due to the cheap availability of equatorial fruits; bananas, papaya, coconut, etc.

I should probably warn that eating a high fibre food like banana with an egg yolk, which has lots of protein, may give some people gas.

I live in Singapore, so it's hot and humid. I consume 2 tablespoons a day on average and haven't noticed a heating effect.

Thats the idea, yes. 3 groups of rats / mice; 1 group fed a 100% raw diet, the other 2 the cooked version of that same diet, with one of these groups supplemented with vitamins etc (so that the factor of 'lost nutrients due to cooking' is excluded) First the osteoporosis experiment though. I'm curi...
