PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PSYLLIUM HUSKS

  • A listener asked about this in smoothies
  • Psyllium husks hurt your gut bacteria 
  • Also will make you bloated
  • We used to throw this away as byproduct, but somehow people found a way to market it
  • It does not do what is says it will do - it is a scam
  • If you need to process something to make it edible/consumable, it is likely bad for you 
  • Consuming this is like taking the shell off of a peanut and putting it in a drink
  • TLDR: DON'T consume!!!

SUGAR AND BACON

  • Often, companies will add sugar to bacon or sausages
    • Cheaper brands will do this more regularly 
  • Brown sugar, maple bacon, all of this is bad for you 
  • Look for PLAIN BACON

ANNA'S RANCH DRESSING

  • Anna uses 1/2 a cup of whole milk and 1/2 of a lemon's worth of lemon juice = buttermilk
  • Make your mayo at home if possible (don't use mayo with canola oil, if possible)
  • Whisk all of that together with dill, parsley, other herbs
  • 1/2 a tsp of onion and garlic powder each
  • A teaspoon of salt and pepper
  • Let it congeal in the fridge for around an hour 
  • Whisk again, and enjoy!
