Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 how much and how often should onions be consumed? Must they be raw to get the iodine?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 You can figure how much iodine you should have in your diet by looking up the RDA amounts of nutrients...but thats based on AMA/ADA standards...if you were into that you probably wouldnt be here. if youre going to worry about such small things as that you should take a multivitamin. there are much more serious deficiencies you could end up with while eating raw than iodine...if you eat a wide variety of stuff you should be fine. im quite certain that primitive man didnt count his onions. 8-) peace anna On 6/1/07, Belinda <MistyBlueTN wrote: > how much and how often should onions be consumed?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 It would be difficult to imagine an iodine deficiency in anyone who consumes substantial quantities of fresh, organic or better fruits and greens, regardless of whether that person consumes a 100% raw diet.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hi Belinda, We need never consume onions. I wish to encourage you away from eating for individual nutrients, largely because it is impossible to do. Science presently identifies hundreds of thousands of nutrients and potential nutrients. If we were actually to try and select foods that are " high " in each specific nutrient, then we would never do anything other than research and select foods. If you are curious about onions, just do the little experiment I described a few messages ago. You'll require no further input from anyone!

Which is one of the reasons I started concentrating on getting my nutrients from my food. I have however began supplamenting with a few individual things. I have been feeling weak and tired for sometime now, so I began taking a little bit of iron supplement and B-12. Not always every day but a few times a week. It has helped me a lot. I just do not like taking supplements, because I believe it is too easy to over do it. Which can be worse than not enough. We humans have a tendency to over do a good thing. And I am no exception. > im quite certain that primitive man didnt count his onions. 8-) ) No doubt. Was probably just grateful to have what he had. Sometimes I think we would be less stressed out if we didn't know about all the things to worry about. See if I had never known about " iodized " table salt, I wouldn't be thinking a thing about iodine. Belinda > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 LoL...very true! i get sick from vitamins too..but i found some natural ones that dont bother me at all....theyr tablets that i can cut into small pieces that i spread out throughout the day....got them at wild oats or whole foods..dont remember which... i am prone to anemia, particularly when on my period...so i take iron... I go long periods of time without eating so i probly dont take in enough stuff....i feel better with vitamins and iron.. plus i understand that modern fruits and veggies are about half as nutritious now than they were 100 years ago..so for me..theyr a great help. peace anna On 6/1/07, Belinda <MistyBlueTN wrote: > > > if youre going to worry about such small things as that you should > > take a multivitamin. > > Multi vitamins make me nauseous.
