TIL Toast is carcinogenic and so is bread in general (but toast more so) and sugar and alcohol and cooked meat (unless it was cooked by boiling in water and not any other method)
TLDR eat raw or unadulterated carrots, yams, beets, beet-greens spinach broccoli LOTS of raw broccoli (stops cancer!) and raw garlic also
Nothing processed!
swiss chard rainbow chard
NB drink 0.5 - 1.0 gallons water daily (2-4 Liters)
NB gut microbes dictate our brain cravings for food =>
3 days without X (eg sugar/baked flour)
no more craving X
(‘cause those bacteria = gone)
Well that sounds like a load of bollocks
The carcinogenic part is true unfortunately. Frying foods results in chemical reactions that produce thousands of new molecules some of which could be carcinogenic, including acrylamide. We don't even characterize the complete set of molecules, we just lump them all together under names like "caramelization" or "Maillard reaction". But fuck it, if I knew all I had to eat for the rest of my life was raw broccoli, that's not a life worth living.
