Re: Questions about Apollo recipes & cholesterol

You may want to try adding flax meal to your diet. It is low in carbs and high in fiber. I use it for the beneficial phytoestrogens it provides. Be prudent with phytoestrogens.

Re: Eating well- frying/roasting veg - is it that bad?

I just went back to the book and you're right, it says cruciferous veg are "best consumed blanched, lightly steamed, or stir fried at a medium heat to preserve a bit of crunch". It doesn't seem to go into the why, beyond preserving a bit of "crunch". I know that when cooking foo...

Dementia drug hailed for slowing down Alzheimer's by up to a THIRD may be unsafe for 9 out of 10 patients The headline is misleadin...

Lecanemab requires either a amyloid PET scan or spinal fluid for biomarkers. Donanemab requires consistent imaging, and rig...
