Biodynamic brown rice is a nutritionalist's dream. Brown rice is
a wholesome food which can meet our protein requirements quite
adequately when combined in a variety of interesting and delicious
ways. It has far more protein, calcium, B vitamins and iron than
its pale, insipid, white counterpart, and also has the added benefit
of containing vitamin E, found in the rice germ of whole brown
rice, which is absent in white rice.

There is much convincing observational and well substantiated
clinical evidence that food additives, flavourings and colours can
lead to hyperactivity. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-
controlled trial reported in Lancet 2007 has provided further proof
of this undesirable relationship. In summary, the study found a
strong case that food additives exacerbate hyperactive behaviours
– inattention, impulsivity, and over excitability – in childhood.
The study showed that adverse behaviours from additives was not
restricted to children with ADHD, but could also be seen in the
general population.

do cause side-effects such as nausea, thrush, abdominal discomfort
and antibiotic resistance.

Lignans – the new phyto oestrogen |
|
Charlemagne considered flaxseed so important for the health of
his subjects that he passed laws in the 8th century A.D., requiring
its consumption. He was perhaps a little over ambitious and even
a touch severe, he was nonetheless on the right track! Many of
us regularly add flaxseed oil to our daily diets in order to benefit
from its rich array of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids.
We should however, also consider increasing our intake of these
delightful seeds, as well as consuming the oil. Flaxseeds are a truly
superb source of lignans and consequently have a wide range of
beneficial effects for human health.
