Yet more on food....

I think I've done more research on food, healthy living and exercise this year than I ever have, and as a medical professional I have to say, our system worries me. We trust so blindly that what our doctor/pharmacist/specialist/tv/government tells us is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, only to discover later that they were wrong, so sorry. We cant afford to be complacent with our health; now more than ever. Our health, and our childrens, depend on it.Just as our training in kungfu is in our own hands, so is our health and well-being, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I was sent this article the other day, and I think its worth a look. Its about wheat...or what we THOUGHT was wheat, and some of the things our modern day science has done to it--with good intentions. It sounds interesting enough...and lines up with other things that I've read and heard this year that you may want to take a gander.

Another good book that is an eye opener is Good Calories, Bad calories; challenging the conventional wisdom on diet, weight control and disease by Gary Taubes
Be mindful. Be healthy (and insane trying to make sense of it all)
