Corn

[Deleted]

Eric,
I am suprised to see corn on my list of green foods. I am actually suprised to see it listed at all. You continually read about the horrors of corn, etc. What are your thoughts on this? It is also listed as a vegetable....shouldn't it be listed as a grain? Jared

The "horrors" of corn have to do with it being one of the foods that many people are sensitive to. However, to find out if that is the case you would have to take an MRT Test and then perhaps an ELISA test. Interestingly, I am not allergic or reactive to corn. The other "horror" is that corn is often genetically engineered/modified, so make sure that when you buy it that it has not been messed with.

The food lists are done with the help of David Vaughn, who is constantly on the move for the latest and greatest in the world of MT. I will ask David why he put corn in the vegetables category and then get back to you.

If a food is right for your type, then it means it will move you in the direction that you need to go. It says nothing about your reactivity or sensitivity to it, and that is why we so heavily recommend the MRT Test and the ELISA test. The amount of inflammation in the body and in the gut that these tests can help prevent is nothing short of amazing.

If you want to learn more about the MRT Test, then you absolutely must listen to this:

Does this answer your question?

Slightly off at a tangent, but relevant to something you mentioned here Eric about dubious foods oin FoodPhramacy, is that I recently emailed FoodPharmacy support about a food which was recommended for me by the software, and that is a sea vegetable called hijiki. I said to them that i thought this food item should absolutely not appear on the recommended list for anyone, because numerous studies of the toxic metal content of sea vegetables shows hijiki to have many times over the acceptable intake levels of inorganic arsenic (the most toxic form). In fact, there are quite a few cases of people getting sick after regularly consuming hijiki.

Thanks. I am interested in hearing David's response.

Rob-I know that David has been away to a few seminars here as of late, so I am not sure if he is back in Montana yet or not.

If you do not hear from him then perhaps re-write him and tell him that you are one of my clients. Perhaps that will help...

If not, then Iet me know and I will contact David and try to get an answer for you.

Thanks Eric. I havent heard anything back yet. I will re-email FoodPharmacy support and explain i am a client of yours.

Eric,
I saw that you said David is in Montana. Interesting. Where at exactly? I'm from MT. Thanks.

Hi Eric,

heres the response i got from David:

"Robert,

Our software was not used for the food list you received. We do not include hijiki in our reports.

However, the food list from your advisor was provided by Healthexcel who has permission to use our report format.

I have forwarded your email on to Bill Wolcott who owns Healthexcel.

Thank you.

David is in Boseman.

I worked for one summer at a dude ranch outside of Livingston when I was in college. It was an interesting experience.

Yes, I was not clear before and that is my fault. The technology that puts the food lists together comes from David. Where those foods go and why comes from HealthExcel.

Sorry about the confusion, Rob.

[robwhite]

No probs Eric. Would be interested to see if Bill responds to David on this.

[erictalmant]

I do know that in the past the lists simply state the foods, and then it us up to the advisor's to make clients aware of the pitfalls of some of the foods.

For example, Salmon is also on the list and is an approved food for a FO. However, I go to great lengths to educate clients about the pitfalls (mercury, farm raised, etc.) Salmon *can* have, and thus give them the tools to make an educated decision.

It might be the same for this sea vegetable.

[robwhite]

Fair enough. Hijiki is a food fairly widely consumed in the Far East, but they typically consume it in very small quantities and as a condiment to an occasional meal. I suppose my gripe with it being on the list was it was a 'Recommended' food, which kinda suggested it something to be consumed regularly in abundance.
