Grains pose several hazards to our health, and Dr. William Davis and Dr. David Perlmutter have compiled LOTS of research data in their published books about these hazards. Here […]

B Supplements & Health

The B vitamins also are important to our bodies; for one thing, many of us have been avoiding red meat for half a decade b/c we’ve heard it’s so “unhealthy”.  Red meat is, by far, the best source of B12, iron, and protein, while most other meats contain very little to no B12 or iron.  […]

Protein 101
