Some stuff I posted on the vbb forum, w/ some editing

My Food Log


FASTING
Fasting can be a good thing. Prehistoric men were fasting for few days each time they didn't find food, it's good to regenerate the body. It cleans the organism, but it's especially the fact that you're burning fat, including toxic products stored in it. Some toxins are eliminated everyday, some are stored in internal organs. So after fasting/cleansing, when you start eating again it stores new, cleaner fat, more or less depending how much food you eat and how healthy are these foods. It's better to regenarate some of that fat every month, than to do a cleansing every 20 years or never. Never is too late...
Dr. Shelton said water fasting is the best cure against any disease or infection, because the body must concentrate on fighting the virus, not waisting energy on digesting food. The body still need energy, but takes it directly from fat storage.
Our bodyfat is pure energy, fat being more energetic than carbs and proteins. The usual people have more than 100 000 calories in fat waiting to be used.

Vegan since beginning of 2008. My nutrition is always evolving.


DIET
PROTEINS
With at least 30 grams of complete protein per day you don't lose lean mass, that's a minimum standard for relatively sedentary people, with a normal amount of calories
You should eat more proteins (let's say 1g-2g/kg bw) if :
you train a lot, especially with weights
you reduce a lot your total calories intake
you have a huge lean mass
you have a serious injurie, requiring building new tissue
you are a pregnant woman or breastfeeding a child

FOOD and POISONS
They (so-called nutritionists) say that poisons are good. There was a time they were even saying that tobacco was good, also some were claiming that dirty water had miraculous healing powers, most modern medecine are made with poisonous plants.

Nothing ever proved those things work or are true. Of course, some substances have some effects on the body, that inhibits other poisons. But what's the point to counter a poison with another poison if it's only to end up with another poison in the body? But that's the kind of medecine the doctors have chosen to promote. None of these products are necessary good for health. Some say that all alcohols are good in small quantity, some other say it's only the red wine because of the antioxydants. Fermentation is poisonous and can't be compared to fresh grapes.
For something to be called a food, it needs to be beneficial for human health. Only good, not in part poisonous. Something cannot be a food and a poison at the same time, it's either one or the other. A food can't be beneficial below 2 cups per day and become a poison for more than 2 cups. But that's what they say about alcohol. They say it is good for the heart. Even if this is true, what's the use of drinking something that is good for the heart and poisonous for the rest of the body. Our body is not many organs working independently from each others. Everything work together, everything is linked. Something that is not good for the body is not good for the heart neither.

A poison in high dose is still a poison in small dose


Today, we see all poisons as good substances good for health : coffee, tea, chocolate, salt, sugar, wine, medecine. All medecine are made in laboratories out of poisonous plants. Scientists search the Amazonia rainforests for the most dangerous rare plants to make poisons to fight other poisons and this is modern medecine.
If some nutritionnists say that coffee and tea helps to fight cancers and stuff because of the antioxydants, I really doubt that many vitamins survive in a cup of boiling water, even your own hand will almost die. Cells affected by drugs can become tumors.

My Blog

My blog is getting better -- But I need to make it better -- I'm writting on many different subjects--No reason to start a whole new blog for each matter -- But I'm writing in English, and sometimes in French my mother tongue -- and in which languages there's several subjects, being part of several Big Topics -- I should have a French blog, and a blog written in English -- I'm obsessed with perfection -- But I've learned that perfection can't be acheived since it wouldn't be perfection then, therefore perfection doesn't really exist, only an ideal of it -- Perfection is only in the Mind -- Then my tactic becomes different, forget everything, focus on the essential -- since Perfection don't exist in the real world and can't be acheived in reality, make it real and possible in your Mind. In fact it is the only possible way to achieve perfection... perfection in the real world is impossible, it is only possible in the mind -- Some people want to find perfection through complexity : a perfection of materiality in a material world, by having the largest amount of objects, they will never be happy because they will never achieve perfection in their mind or in reality -- The only way to acheive perfection is to forget about perfection, you're happy when your life becomes perfect -- imperfections are things we don't need -- have nothing but yourself and the vital needs : food, clothes and shelter-- do what you gotta do to fulfill your personnal life, love life, your life at work and your recreations -- I want to achieve perfection through simplicity and minimalism, purity and positivity -- of course, to achieve perfection and simplicity is not as easy as solving all materialistic problems, because many problems can occur in the mind too... it can be worse than any physical pain in the reality -- But the easiest way to clear the mind is to be satisfied of what you got, rely only on yourself, so  you can't be disappointed...
So I was saying about my blog... I don't aim for perfection as a final result, just perfection in every moment of the present : I must like each of my posts, otherwise why writing ? I should not think of my blog as a way to say all of the things I want to say now or later, just a medium to express what I feel at each moment. 

Aberrant COMMENTS on the Web - Science & Life


Personnal views which I don’t agree with. They all reflect the opposite of my thoughts, so I don’t need to comment on most of them. Sometimes silence is the best. When someone says something stupid, remain silent, what he just said will as if it didn't hit his interlocutor and will rebound toward him, forcing him to face what he says, to think about it. Sometimes I will add just a quote from a great thinker that said something brillant related to what I just heard.

"If we believe absurdities, we commit atrocities"-Voltaire
"The custom is to accept any atrocity." -- George Bernard Shaw


Extreme stupidity is a weapon as powerful as irony is a great tool to serve a good cause. I just want to expose common sense to the world, by turning those comments against themselves.

Sometimes stupidity is so big it is funny, or sad, depending on who reads it. But one thing is sure, stupidity


-on dangerous new technologies that are still unknown, like the LHC (that could produce tiny black holes on Earth) and that are hasardous. We know that big accidents already happened : Tchernobyl, Bhopal, GMO’s, spacecraft explosions, etc. Should we or not risk people life in the name of science and progress ? Is technical progress so important or can we live (much happier) without any technologies even electricity ?

Wow, you are so terribly ignorant... without science we wouldn't have cars, electricity, healthcare and medicine, you favorites toys, hell you probably wouldn't even exist because there wouldn't have been enough food for all of us... We as species are so successful that within a couple of years we will reach a point where we are with so many that it really isn't going to matter at all if we are going to lose a few anyways. We are where we are now really mainly because of science.



-Posted by Brian W. about a text called “Have You Eaten Your Genetically Modified Food Today?” there.

As a biotechnophile (I wonder if anyone else has ever used that word...) it is my opinion that fear of GM foods is based purely on ignorance. I have to wonder how many of those people who hate GM foods even know what a gene does in general. I'd go so far as to say I dislike organic foods. For thousands of years humans have been breeding the nutrition OUT of crops. Farmers have always picked the plants with the highest yeilds to breed, but in order for a plant to make a bigger yield, it has to ditch some of its nutritional value. Today our staple crops are full of starch, and seriously lacking in protein. Genetically modifying these crops could put the nutrition back in them, among other things. So what if my wheat has a fish gene in it. All it does is make an extra protein that protects it from cold weather. It's not gonna taste like fish for god's sake. People also fear GM crops getting into the wild and contaminating the natural gene pool. To that I say: so what? A GM crops gets into the wild and....? Now we have the ocassional plant the can survive colder weather too. Big deal. To be sure we should move forward slowly, and we should test these GM crops carefully, but this irrational fear is foolish. Learn what a gene does (codes for a protein), and become less ignorant before you pass judgement on GM foods.


-Of course, I agree  with the comments of Heretic616:
Looks like a couple of Joe Six Packs responded. Let's see, Brian says we need to become less ignorant, but he says "Big Deal" if an unintended consequence of GE occurs that just happens to be beneficial. What about the other not so beneficial outcomes that you realize down the road. These changes are in some cases irreversible and self perpetuating. BTW it was a flounder gene placed into a tomato to keep it from freezing. I try to buy all organic thank you. At least there is a standard that still has some meaning.
I suppose you think it's "irrational or foolish" to require labeling all GE foods so that consumers can make a choice to be guinea pigs or not?
Senor Craig equates today’s laboratory gene manipulation field trials (experiments) with yesterdays grafting and crossbreeding. Are you serious? You think the motive is to feed the world's hungry you're mistaken buddy. It's about maximizing profit, sold under the guise of altruism. I'm sure you also bought "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and "Clear Skies Initiative" and "Healthy Forests Initiative" eh?
Science beating down religion? You've got it all wrong. The population crisis and most wars can attributed to your wonderful religions. I'll stick with science thanks but not Monsanto's irresponsible brand.

new medias

Here's some cool websites to visit. I love the hi-tech, clean look of them. There's a new tendance on Internet and new technologies : eco and green medias... what's for the future ... organic computers ? a sort of technology that we plug in our bodies, kind of like in the film eXistenZ...
