The post stated that 90% of US cheese uses FPC (fermentation-produced chymosin) This was presented as something terrible and misleading the public so of course I had to dig deeper...and here's the truth...

While it IS true that there are no major changes in place for dietary guidelines for school lunches for next year to reflect the new food pyramid, it IS being discussed. However this change will require changes to regulations, which takes time. It is worth noting that the option to drink whole milk and two percent mild are avaliable to children and also the breakfast cereal options require lower sugar content. So it's NOT true that nothing is happening, it is true that changes in protein and fat requirements are not in place for the forseeable future.

My personal experience...the best option for me during menopause and perimenopause - high fat...not HRT, not Supplements but ketogenic diet. I'm not saying that supplements like DHEA won't help. I am not giving medical advise. I am saying be careful of the hype; do your own reseach; keep an open mind; and understand there is not one perfect fix for anything.

A memory is something you can "see" "feel" "hear" and/or it causes some sort of "emotion." We take these precious bits of information for granted. However, when the brain is starved for energy, memories both short term and long term are one of the first noticible functions that decline. Often times patients are told these memories are gone forever and that cognitive decline cannot be reversed. Here I talk about the day that I had my first real memory recall in more than decade and the realization that what I had been told would never happen - did.
