Seems like everybody danced around the obvious choice: soft-boiled eggs. Just boil the eggs for 4 minutes and 30 seconds, immediately put under cold water, then peel away the shell and put on whole grain toast buttered with naturally pressed oil butter. Put on your biophoton salt from Mercola from the Himalayan region some pepper and viola! The inner yolk is liquid and the outer white egg is lightly cooked but still soft. That is my typical breakfast or else a natural sunflower seed (no pesticide and alkaline) and homemade seasonal fruit jelly lightly-toasted and buttered sandwich. Get a good whole food vitamin w/o Iron like Supernutrition to make up the rest. At night drink a cold cup of reishi mushroom red tea to counteract the acidic food of the day and to put you to sleep. Any fatty meat during the day counteract with fish oil pills to balance out the fat ratio according to the Omega Plan diet. Also take Vitamin C pills with food throughout the day as you should either take multiple doses per day or none.

I AM NOT EATING RAW BRUSSEL SPROUTS! I don't even eat cooked brussel sprouts except a token one at Christmas. Can I lightly sautee the above-mentioned foods?

Can you buy wholemeal pizzas in the US? Our supermarket stocks tons of different types of pizza, but not one wholemeal one. And no, I am not going to make it myself - it's what I have when I'm in a hurry.

Go to a website www.hacres.com, for some very good information about some super foods.

I agree with Dr Mercola's comments on how to select eggs with the qualification that eggs from hens fed flax actually do have favorable levels of DHA:

It's interesting that with ruminants, the fish meal is required to have higher levels of DHA and EPA in the meat. Some ranchers finish cattle on feed that includes flax but it does only increase the ALA. In that case, I would just eat the flax myself. But hens apparently are good converters of ALA to DHA. Humans are not, so it is great that hens can do it for us.

Russ--

Re your comments on agave, I (and my friends who are using it) would SO appreciate knowing where else we can find this type of information on agave--especially that, no matter the source of it, and whether or not its organic, it's harmful to our bodies. So far, we've only seen positive comments on the Web. Thanks.

Reading further in Dr. Mercola's articles about eggs, my understanding on how to eat raw eggs is this:

separate the white from the yolk and eat the yolk RAW. The white can later be cooked to 100 degree C which neutralizes the avidin (a protein) so that it won't bind to the biotin ( B vitamin ) causing a biotin deficiency. Interesting; the yolk should be eaten raw, but the white is best if cooked on low heat (100 deg C). Have I gotten it right ?

Dr. Mercola's advise on raw eggs (organic) is praiseworthy. I've heeded his advise and consume 2 raw organic eggs every morning: I mix them in a smothie with milk, apples, banana, kale and kiwwi fruit.

The reason for the myth about eggs and cholesterol could be found in this quote from D. Mercola: "Scrambling your eggs would be one of the worst ways to eat eggs as it actually oxidizes the cholesterol in the egg yolk". But I still have one question: does that refer to the heat applied in the cooking process, or to the mixing of the white and the yolk ?

You would need to eat approx 40 bundles of spinash today to get the same amount of vitamin E you would get in 1 bundle 50 years ago.......
Our soils frankly do not have the same nutrients they did 50 years ago, and adding to that our crops are heavily sprayed with all sorts of garbage (pesticides, insecticides ) name it.
Raw is always the best, cooking, or overcooking destroys the enzymes and a lot of the delicate nutrients..... go raw and make sure they are organic and those yummilicious eggies are from free range chicken...........

A delicious recipe I learned from one of Dr. Perricone's books was lightly sauteeing spinach, olive oil, fresh ginger and Turmeric together with a hint of salt, on top of eggs. It's healthful and tasty.

Nice to see an article in mainstream media where eggs are one of the good guys!:))

Imagine that!?

Spinach and eggs, or real unprocessed food actually contributing to nutrient health...it must be a misprint.

However, beware antibiotic laden eggs or gmo spinach.
