*sigh* I so don't want to stop eating peanuts, but I should.
I thought you all might be interested in this: http://www.thepaleodiet.com/newslett...Vol2Issue1.pdf |

I always thought the main reason to stay away from peanuts was because of aflatoxins. Here's one opinion from Dr. Weil:
http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QA/QA115491/ The other reason is because it has arachidonic acid, found in saturated fats, which causes inflammation. Arachidonic acid is found in meats, particularly poultry. I think the problem is when we separate components in food rather than looking at the food as a whole and how that acts in the body. I can't say that I'm crazy about the paleo diet or any diets like it, such as SCD. I've been observing what I eat, and I find that an omnivorous diet is best. If I don't eat any grains, I don't feel well. If I eat too many grains, I don't feel well. Moderation, diversity, and whole, unprocessed foods seem the best for a balanced diet. To me, foods that aren't tolerated are probably due to somekind of bodily illness or imbalance, or perhaps a result of genetically modified foods. Claire

Hello, could the arachidonic acid in poultry be why it causes me seizures after eating chicken? I thought it was the wheat the pumped the chickens with.

is found in all animal foods. Eggs too.
It is essential for developing children and is added to commercial formulas now. In concentrated amounts (which you cannot find in food) it is harmful. The body makes AA also, from omega-6's and this is a very big source of AA, and can be controlled by diet. (this pathway is not well developed in infants) There is a flow chart here: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl...to+d2+receptor Fish even have AA in them, however in small amounts. This is a very interesting paper... http://www.jci.org/cgi/content/full/107/11/1339 and it states that build up of AA during NSAID use may actually explain the anti-cancer properties of NSAIDs!

You might be sensitive to AA, if so eating grass fed animals might help, or even fish. Are you sensitive to Arachaidonic Acid? |
