Have you looked into a plant called Moringa (AKA ‘daun kelor’ in Indonesia)? It’s crazy how much vitamin and nutrients can be found in this common, easily grown plant. It cooks up pretty much like spinach and tastes great. Moringa can also be used as a powdered supplement to get its many benefits when you cannot locate it fresh from your grocery or wet market. Check it out. It’s truly amazing.

Yes, the problem with US cheeses are that they come from US cows milk, which is what Parmesan cheese made from and it is not aged long enough to take care of those issues. What you want is Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese which is made in Italy with the recipe that’s hundreds of years old and the cows there do not have the Cason that we have problems with. Also you can use sheep or goat cheese, which also is friendly to us humans.

[@Romns1513]

My husband and I have goat cheese regularly! I have a hard time staying away from the cheddar, babybel, and shredded cheeses because it’s easy to throw in stuff and I grew up eating cheese… my husband has some lactose intolerance but takes the lactase enzyme when we eat it. I don’t seem to have any issues with dairy, except that if I’m sick it can make it harder to get rid of the gunk. In that case I avoid dairy till I’m better 😂

[@justinw1765]

I think Italy does now have some of the modern, more US known cow breeds now as well i.e. the ones that produce A1 casein proteins. Reason why is because they do produce a lot of milk. But yes, their Parmesan does tend to be aged much longer than the stuff in the US. I got some 24 month stuff made out of raw, grass fed cow milk from Italy a little while ago. Didn't make me produce excess mucous at all, like a lot of cow dairy does. Normally I stick to sheep and goat because of that issue. I've found that cow cheese has to be aged about a minimum of a year to not bother me, but preferably longer. Wish I could find a lower fat version of some of these cheeses. Excess saturated fat is not good. A little here and there is not going to cause problems, but if you're eating like 50 grams of saturated fat (especially long chain) a day, it will.

[@justinw1765]

@@Romns1513 It's a common misconception that it is lactose that is the problem. True lactose intolerance is actually quite rare. What it is in most cases, is an intolerance to A1 casein protein. Modern cow breeds that are very plentiful in the US, produce both A1 and A2 casein proteins. Up until a couple hundred or so years ago, almost all cows produced primarily just A2 casein proteins, but there was a mutation that occured during a period of intense hybridization to increase milk yield, and now many cow breeds (again, especially in North America) produce A1 casein proteins. These are very large, very sticky proteins that are extremely hard to fully breakdown/digest, and after awhile, it causes inflammation and the body responds with intolerance symptoms. For me, the biggest symptom is very noticeable excess mucous production. A lot of people don't realize this, because they are so mucous logged all the time. But if they go on a cleanse or fast of some kind where they cut these foods out for a month or more and then go back to them, then they will notice how bad it really is. The kids I work with are constantly stuffy with excess mucous. Noses dripping, sneezing, not breathing clearly, etc, and without active colds/infections.

Buckwheat is a seed not a grain. With Buckwheat be sure to read the instructions first. You need to add a raw egg in it and let it sit in the fridge for a while before stirring it in a hot pan til all the seed mixture is roasted and separated. Then add your water and cook. It's a traditional north European food. Very tasty and nutritive dense. We serve it with cooked bow tie noodles mixed into the seed mixture after cooking. 😊

A diet that contains fatty meat from grass fed, grass finished ruminant animals will have an adequate amount of omega 3 fats. Fish are usually contaminated due to polluted waters from human intervention. If you want fish in your diet and want to minimise the contaminants, go for smaller wild caught fish instead of farmed, as the younger fish have had less time to be exposed by the contaminants. Farmed fish are usually fed with poor quality food infused with artificial caratinoids to help with the appearance of the flesh, and antibiotics are generally used.

I love your channel and your approach Thomas but Seed probiotic supplements are too expensive compared to what you can get by taking a good probiotic with something like psyllium husk powder. Bacteria does not need instantaneous food with it when it hits your gut. Although that's ideal and you can simply add it by consuming your probiotic with soluble fibers, especially psyllium and fresh ground flaxseed, but any soluble fiber will feed the probiotics. Prebiotics are the food for our gut bacteria, such as psyllium powder. The volume that you need to get a good amount of prebiotics cannot fit into a capsule. Popcorn is nutrient rich but definitely not a superfood. Generally, superfoods are providing nutrients that have longevity providing qualities that are not commonly found in other Foods. You didn't name one thing in popcorn that is a unique nutrient that is less common. Popcorn actually spikes your blood sugar quickly. It's great as part of a balanced meal but it is definitely not a superfood

[@justinw1765]

Superfood is more defined as foods that are especially and unusually nutrient dense for their mass and/or volume. Yes, no way popcorn is on that list. Agree with most everything else you said.
