Chocolate Walnut Ice Cream
Yes, ice cream can fit into your Wheat Belly lifestyle . . . but some adjustments will be necessary. I have yet to find a commercially produced ice cream or custard that I thought was truly healthy. Even the “no sugar added” ice cream brands are usually sweetened with sorbitol and maltitol that can still cause rises in blood sugar (as well as small LDL particles that lead to heart disease), not to mention gas and diarrhea–-not the best choice after a romantic dinner! Here’s a way to make your own thick, rich custard without sugar, sorbitol, maltitol, and without having to endure gas and diarrhea. If you have a dai...

A Couple of Observations about Wrongdoing
Those of us old enough to remember Whitewater would prefer to forget. In a pistachio shell, the Clintons, while in Arkansas, invested some money in a real estate deal. The promoter turned out to be a sleazebag, and they lost their investment. That is all.But the New York Times, which for reasons unknown hated the Clintons, produced a long-form investigative piece (written by Jeff Gerth, whose inexplicabe, irrational hatred for Hillary Clinton is as boundless as Donald Trump's ego), which insinuated that the Clintons had somehow been guilty of wrongdoing in the affair. The piece actually made no sense and added up to nothin...

Jumbo Gingerbread Nut Muffin Recipe
At first glance, these tasty Gingerbread Nut muffins from the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox may not seem sufficient to stand alone as lunch, but once you try these jumbo-size, nut- and oil- rich muffins, you will appreciate how filling they are. And, because they are made with eggs, coconut oil, almonds, and other nuts and seeds, they are also very healthy.

As with any Wheat Belly recipe in which one of our benign sweeteners is use...

Brave New World
Prediction is hard, especially about the future, but something is going to happen with the technology called the CRISPR/Cas9 system. I've linked to the Gizmodo summary which is reasonably accessible, but it's very easy to come up with a whole lot more info using your favorite Internet search engine.In a pistachio shell, this is a fairly new method for editing genes which provides higher efficiency (i.e., percent of targeted cells in which the desired edit is made) and accuracy (percent of cells in which an additional, undesired change occurs) than previous methods. If you're interested, it's derived from an immunologic sys...

Pistachios Offer Protection for People With Diabetes
By Diane Fennell Research has indicated that eating pistachios along with a high-glycemic meal may help lower after-meal blood sugar response, particularly in people with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of factors that raises the risk of heart disease, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes). Now, a small new study from Penn State University suggests that these nuts may also improve heart health in people who have Type 2 by reducing the body's cardiovascular responses to everyday stress. Heart attack and stroke are the leading causes of death in people who have diabetes. To evaluate the effects of pistachios on various aspects of car...

March Hauser: The Denoument
I missed it at the time, but it turns out the Boston Globe obtained Harvard's internal investigative report a couple of weeks ago and it's about as ugly as can be.To whit:The 85-page report details instances in which Hauser changed data so that it would show a desired effect. It shows that he more than once rebuffed or downplayed questions and concerns from people in his laboratory about how a result was obtained. The report also describes “a disturbing pattern of misrepresentation of results and shading of truth” and a “reckless disregard for basic scientific standards.”In a pistachio shell, when his experime...

Sleep Better with Food and Fitness
Just as sleep is important to our body, what we do with our body in terms of food and exercise plays a major role in the way we sleep (or don’t sleep).  Good nutrition and exercise can help you sleep, but poor sleep leads to poor eating and exercise decisions immediately. A lack of shut-eye is linked with ditching your workout. It’s one thing to skip the workout to get more sleep once in awhile, but if you ditch your workout and cheat yourself of sleep, then you aren’t breaking the cycle. Contrary to what we have all been told, eating prior to bed is not such a bad thing after all.  In fact, a light snack contai...

Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right with Flavorful Foods
It’s National Nutrition Month and all month long we’re sharing fun and delicious ways to “enjoy the taste of eating right.” To me, it’s all about making practical food choices, and about blending taste and nutrition. When we’re trying to eat right, we want to focus on FLAVOR, because who wants to eat something that doesn’t taste good, right? I was on Let’s Talk Live this week sharing some of my favorite tips for snacks and breakfasts that are full of flavor and packed with nutrition. Hopefully it can help make eating right a little easier (and a little tastier!) for you and your family. ...

The 2-In-1 Product I Wish I'd Invented
Did you ever watch Shark Tank on ABC, see a product idea profiled on the show and think, "Dang that's a no-brainer! Why didn't I think of that?" That's just how I felt this morning during a trip to my local Container Store when in the kitchen section I happened upon a line of products from Joseph Joseph. (Not a typo!) Joseph Joseph solves the challenge of serving high-maintenance snacks. You know the culprits; they come to your party, tempt your guests and are a teensy bit of a pain to eat. I'm talking pistachios or peanuts in the shell, salted edamame, olives with pits and shrimp with tails to name a few. All these ite...
