Food for one week around the world

:D Hi Beverly,
I enjoyed the video clips you have on your web site....I always WANTED to know how they got the coconut and oil and milk separated....NOW I know! Very interesting! Oh and I have to give you a thumbs up on the benefits of coconut oil....there are a few things that I try to have a little of each day: fresh fruits and veggies, lots of pure water, garlic, olive oil and coconut oil....and a variety of herbs....If i get nothing else...I try to get those items in....oh, I forgot and a few drops of lemon juice in the water now and then....I LOVE the coconut oil for making eggs with and when you add Rosemary and Garlic to the pan you've got a great combo that fights bacteria, viruses, yeast and molds!
I have a question for you: do you know how they make coconut extract flavoring?
I LOVE the smell of coconut....it immediately transports me back to the beach in the summer time....I put about 2-3 drops of coconut extract in my coffee....I used to get a coconut cappuccino (instant) at Publix (grocery store) down south, but they stopped making it I think...it's label had a Catholic monk on it...I don't know if it was produced at a monastery or if that was just a marketing thingy...but it was THE most delicious cappuccino in the entire WORLD! (love not the things of this world; I know, I know!!) So to replace it when I couldn't get it any longer, I started putting coconut extract in my coffee. Just curious if you knew....

Hey Kat and others,
That was most interesting about the Food Stuffs found at the various families around the World, my wife enjoyed those pictures also. I've enjoyed studying nutrition, vitamin supplementation for most of my life. Without presenting a documentary on my nutritional insights and studies, I'll just mention a few points(thoughts) on this. Most people in this country are eating too many High Glycemic Carbohydrates, the body is able to hold approximately 360 grams of Carbs(Glycogen) in the Liver and the rest are held in our muscles in reserve for energy purposes, anything in excess is converted to Fat. What this amounts to is the concept " Not all carbohydrates are created equal". Certainly vegetables(especially green ones) are the most preferable source, most fruits, although good for you, have too much sugar, especially Bananas(glycemic index of 90+), the higher the number, the faster the food source will rapidly convert to glucose(100 on the scale). If everyone ate a diet that predominantly consisted of Good sources of protein, vegetables and only some starches, they would be better off. I know, we all love dessert and occasional junk(cheezits, pototoe chips, etc). Legumes, Nuts and Seeds are very good, they all are of Low-glycemic Index and filled with fiber and are good sources of proteins.
I know, I'll stop, before this becomes a Documentary, could go on for the Aions.
By the way, I'd like a cup of coffee too, alittle half n' half, one teaspoon sugar, just make it the regular kind, the dunkin doughnuts brand(too expensive).
Your Brother in Christ, Samson.

Hi Samson,
I'm loving getting this info. from everybody on how we should eat healthier. Since you have studied this maybe you could give us your top 10 list of the best foods for us. I think we already know what most of the bad one are.
Like Beverley's info. on coconuts, unless you study these things out, you just don't know about them. I think we all do want to eat healthier, but we don't take the time to research for info, so we can be smart about how we do it.
So do share more of your insight with us :)
mercy, peace and love
Kat
