Sardines

Post by Cairidh »

Sardines never seem to be mentioned - is there something wrong with them??

They're an oily fish, so a source of omega 3. They contain DMAE which is a supernutrient for the skin and improves cognitive functioning. They're the best source of Co Q 10. They're a whole fish, so contain all the nutrients in organs/brain. They're young so they have lower levels of mercury. If you eat the bones, you receive lots of calcium.

You never mention them, so there must be something wrong with them.... is it parasites???

I have read all the pages on Wai's website several times but not recently. I can't remember if it mentions sardines. I don't really want to read every word again, because when I read it, it's all very familiar. I have browsed through it, to see if sardines are mentioned, and I've searched this forum and the old forum, but can't find any reference.
So sorry if this is a stupid question!!!!!

this is a really good question, one i've never thought of. the only thing i can think of is that they're so small, and theres so many organs, and the flesh will be covered in that dirty organ fluid containing parasites. i have no idea why they've never been mentioned. i used to eat sardines all the time.

I have no idea either. You might be right, Justin, that they're so small it's not really worth it. There's probably not much wrong with sardines otherwise, although it might be difficult to get them fresh outside of their habitats?

What about as a canned munch food? Would you still get the calcium and omega3 and so on etc? That is, if it doen't cause acne?

Better than cookies.

A good munch food contains little heated protein, so canned sardines don't qualify. :(

No, because the marrow, which is why you would eat them, is also cooked.

No, I am intertested in the calcium, since fruit is expensive here.
What is in the marrow?

Calcium.
But why would you want to ingest more calcium?
Except for the most expensive food (meat), all foods already contain sufficient calcium.
Extra calcium will make your bones thicker, but in countries where average bone density is greatest, the elderly (that had these thick bones as they were young adults) eventually have the weakest bones...
Save your bones, so that they last longer.

I showed the reference that you linked to my father 2 days ago when he was taking a calcium pill disolved in water!!
So yes I know about too much calcium.
But like I said, fruit is expensive, so are sardine bones OK?

All inexpensive food contains sufficient calcium.
So, you certainly dont need to eat (cooked) bones.

What do you eat?

What do you eat?
Oranges, dried figs, kiwi, avocado, tomatoes, carrots, almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts, egg yolks. Using the nutrient calculator I get about 400-500mg calcium.
That may be enough, but can you just tell me if (cooked) sardine bones are alright? That is all I am asking.

They are cooked, and contain lots of different molecules, so: "no".
