For every food that exists there are experts who tell you it is a miracle food and others who tell you it is poison. Can you believe any of them?

I've had it with nutrition. For every article by an "expert" that tells you about some superfood there is another one that tells you it's poison. So sick of it.

I don't eat sugar so as a substitute I love cinnamon. It has a certain kind of sweetness to it. Of course I don't use it in the same quantities as sugar, but since my mother died recently I am trying to get back to the healthier diet I used to eat and back to some health habits I abandoned when I was taking care of my parents.

So I have been slathering everything with cinnamon after reading about what a wonderful nutritional thing it is... "loaded with antioxidants."

I decided now that I am eating so much more of it I better dig a little deeper.

F***! Turns out there are two kinds of cinnamon (never heard any article mention that before). One is the miracle food and the other is POISON! And guess what? Apparently almost all of the cinnamon sold in America is the POISON one! Causes cancer and liver damage!

And I just stocked up on cinnamon!

I've had it with the nutritional "experts." For 50 years I've been reading about coffee. One day it's the secret to eternal life, the next day it is like swallowing a bag of nuts and bolts. It keeps going back and forth every few years. Even though they probably all agree on broccoli 🤮, I really don't believe anything I read about nutrition anymore. I'm thinking of chucking it all and eating every meal at Taco Bell from now on. At least I would die with happy tastebuds.

Its pretty dam easy , you are avoiding processed sugar , that's good , just avoid absolutely ANYTHING that is processed..

You do not need to eat 3 meals a day , thats wayyyyy too much , just be clear with yourself that processed food , sugar , anything unnatural , all no good.

Intermittent fasting , and never limit your bodies potential at any any age.

Well I'm 68 and in better shape than most guys in their 20s. So I must be doing something right. But I believe that moderation is the key. The vast majority of the "healthy" stuff tastes about as good as eating cardboard. I'd rather sacrifice a few years of my life than give up getting pleasure from the things I eat. And a lot of processed foods taste much better to me than the healthy stuff. So I eat processed foods in moderation and so far it has worked well.

Processed foods , all processed foods are utterly horrendous , why do you think they are processed? Age is just a number , focus on everyday , and forget the utter bshit you are being sold on " taste " , taste doesn't exist , its purely an addiction to keep you on the processed chain , this stuff is crp , its a never / ever enter my lips stuff , understand addiction , and thats what sugar is , you are consuming plenty of sugar , all you are doing is not adding anything.
Make sure you are on no Western legal " drugs " this is also just big pharma..
You only need to follow one man - Dr Sten Edberg ( spelling maybe ) , holistic doctor , forget all the utter crp , especially out of the USA , everyone get paid there , its legal ! Just crazy..

Focus on BMI , training everyday , how you break your fast and never compare with the general USA populous , the worst ever example of ( lack of ) health. Waist size vital , Bmi , overall weight..
Work on being YOUR best , don't compare against the horrendous actions of USA , where 50% admit to doing no exercise , its a disgrace.
Nothing processed - EVER.

Your anti-American bias calls your credibility into question. America is the country that has made a greater contribution to improving world nutrition, sanitary practices and life saving and extending breakthroughs in medical technology and medicine than all the other countries in the world combined.

Its always the dosage, even Water becomes deadly poison when you drink too much.

[RingOfFire]

That is true.

[ChefPapiChulo]

It’s called education and knowledge. 68 years and you still have neither.

[RingOfFire]

Every post of yours I have ever seen consists of hurling personal insults at people and making comments completely bereft of any intellectual content, facts or logic. You really are the definition of a moron. That's a fact by the way in case you can't recognize it.

[ChefPapiChulo]

68 years and you still need people to tell you what to eat.

I believe what my taste buds tell me, lol.

[RingOfFire]

Then according to the "experts" you must have the diet from hell.

Anything that tastes good is poison according to them.

According to them you should eat nothing but lawn clippings and fairy dust.
