Im soooooo sad I can’t go tonight!! I want to go so bad! I am in the Utah Valley area, do you do classes often? Thanks for your wonderful sight and information it was exactly what I have been searching for I hope to make a class sometime! Thanks again!
I enjoyed your class last night. Being nutritionally minded is a relatively new thing for me, so I appreciate all the encouragement I can get. Thanks for answering my questions and getting my two girls excited about green smoothies. I’ve been making them mostly fruit smoothies and am gradually adding in greens in the hopes of sneaking green goodness into them. They both gave your smoothie you made last night a thumbs up and asked if they could make them today. My kids are happy to eat anything healthy as long as it tastes good, too.
I’m the woman with the son with Crohn’s disease and the daughter with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I mentioned insoluble fiber being a problem and randomly threw out “corn goes straight through him” as an example. (In reality, any vegetable that isn’t cooked to death seems to be too much for his system. That’s one of the reasons why I’m interested in green smoothies. I’m wondering if he could handle insoluble fiber in this way. Haven’t tried it yet.)
Anyway, we kind of got side-tracked on the corn subject during class, but I thought it was interesting that you brought up the Word of Wisdom in relation to corn. I have been giving that a lot of thought, myself, in the last week. I searched your blog to see if you’ve already covered the topic, but I didn’t see it, so sorry if I’m repeating something you’ve already addressed.
In the scripture it says that “all grain is good for the food of man; . . . Nevertheless, wheat for the man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.” I came to the conclusion that all grains are useful to humans, but that we should not overuse a particular grain (and corn would be one of those that the SAD abuses). By your brief comments last night you clearly have your own views on the subject. What is your take?
Well, I didn’t mean that the WoW says corn is bad for humans, but I do wonder if it was specifically designed by the creator for the ox (whose constitution is very different from ours, with a very short GI tract). Just something to think about–some in the nutrition field do believe that we simply don’t digest corn.
