up to 16 teaspoons per day. How does lead get into cinnamon anyway? I want cinnamon to be like my gasoline - lead free.
5000 years killed enough children via the "failure to thrive" route. It's an established fact (Oh, so sorry, let me get my references in order) that peoples in regions where grains were historically the primary nourishment are more tolerant of gluten. Northern Europeans, on the other hand, are more prone to gluten intolerance.
It all depends on how many generations of infants needed to die to "cull the herd" so that gluten was largely tolerated in the population at large.
Gluten intolerance is real, and it is exacerbated by industrial baking processes.
The switch to cereals is thought to have a correlation to European's skin whitening to combat lack of vitamin-D.

That's interesting. The Irish have the whitest skin of any ethnic group, and the highest rate of gluten intolerance.
Irish soda bread is so crumbly because Irish wheat has so little gluten to hold it together, because of the weak sun up there.
I don't trust any seed oils at all, first because plants generally evolved to poison animals that crush their seeds. Fruit is the bait to get you to swallow the seed whole. If the seed doesn't make it through you, then the plant loses.
Secondly, the extraction process is usually very toxic itself.
almonds, cashews, walnuts, these are all seeds. Sure unnaturally extracting oils, or eating excessive amounts of these foods may be unhealthy, but don’t think for one minute that seeds are inherently poison.
Peas, beans, rice, corn, wheat, oats, barley, peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, these are all seeds.
My point about seeds is that if there is a fruit, the seed is generally poisonous.

Yes, like peaches and apples.
My point about seeds is that if there is a fruit, the seed is generally poisonous.
Watermelon, oranges, raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, kiwi, cucumbers, are some examples of fruits. The seeds won’t kill.
It's still true that if you crush any seed, the plant loses because it cannot reproduce from that seed.
Plants have changed some since their creation, but their purpose is still to provide food, shelter and energy sources for humans and animals.
I see the Genesis stories as metaphor, not literally true.
NEW STUDY - Seed Oil Fats Fuel Aggressive Breast Cancer Growth
Omega-6 fatty acids increase triple-negative breast cancer growth through mTORC1 pathway; population data links high omega-6/omega-3 ratio to increased all-cause and cancer mortality.
Among polyunsaturated fatty acids, Canola oil contains a high level (21%) of linoleic acid (ω-6)
5W-30 don’t consume it.

Rapeseed, aka "Canola" oil is very high in ω-6 linoleic acid:

Which of them are worth avoiding entirely?
Here are the fats and oils I think are bad:
- margarine (which is just canola and other crap oils hardened to make them stick in your arteries better)
- canola oil
- cottonseed oil (especially bad)
- palm kernel oil
I'm undecided about these:
- soybean oil
- sunflower seed oil
- avocado oil
- coconut oil
- peanut oil
I'm sure these are pretty good for you:
- olive oil
- butter
- lard (yes, I think lard is OK to eat)
