The research in The China Study shows that there is a direct correlation of aflatoxin exposure expressed as liver cancer to dietary animal protein. The higher the animal protein intake (20% of diet) the more likelihood of liver cancer. The lower animal protein (5%) intake did not promote liver cancer. Plant protein of any percentage did not lead aflatoxin exposure to liver cancer and could in fact reverse tumor growth if it replaced animal protein. Wondering what you think about The China Study's findings in regards to aflatoxin.

Our ancestors would not have known/cared about the classification, and raw peanuts are non-toxic, right? How is the peanut not primal food? I don’t get this one-

It was OK, but, lettuce really cannot hold much food. I am looking for another type of edible substrate for my mexican food nights in place of the tostada or flour tortilla. I am starting to think about some kind of fried plantain or squash or ???? Anyone got some new ideas on this one? I tried the lettuce wraps for my Mexican food per Sonagi’s suggestion.

I guess you still trust in the FDA. It is full of cyanide I wonder why they are not banning marzipan. Peanuts are too healthy for you that is why the FDA wants to ban it because it is controlled buy the pharmaceutical companies. Is it not strange that its always this salmonella scare? They just want to increase "food safety". In other words irradiate food so there would be no health benefits left in them at all. Oh my gush, 120 people had to go to the toilet 2 times more than before. What about the other 300 000 000? A joke. Of course my letter will probably never make it because they want their foolish opinion heard and they want you to not drink bottled water because fluoride is good for you, and they care so much. That is why most people are aspartame, GM food, MSG, hydrolyzed oils, palm oil.... are in your food. Isn`t that interesting?? Almond cream good for you? I guess you still trust in the FDA.

I had started doing that as a substitute for pita bread when eating middle eastern beef shawarma. When eating fajitas, I just need to think of the lettuce as something that wraps the food instead of going on top! I was lucky enough to have the lettuce wrap grilled meat while in Korea once and though I looked ridiculous trying to roll the lettuce with my chopsticks, I enjoyed the food very much.
