It is considered harmless and can be removed by filtering. Colloquially collected knowledge recommends an expiration/shelf life of 12-18 months,[27] though no reference explicitly states its toxicity. Various records can be found warning of decomposition of flavoring elements, such as whole leaves, prepared in the vinegar.

I've got some really dusty bottles of vinegar in the back of the cupboard! This might be a dumb question, but…can vinegar go bad?

Great question. The idea in a low carb diet is to get plenty of healthy veggies and fruits as the main source of carb/glucose. Then, be sure to cover your basic needs for protein (which is, admittedly, far less than I espouse). But the difference is that we use the extra protein as an additional source of needed calories (when you cut carbs, you cut energy) and as a reserve source of glucose (especially when you cut carbs to under 100 grams a day, as I do some days. We still get most of our energy from fat, but the body can convert the extra protein to glucose through gluconeogenesis (burning fat to do so) without having to resort to tearing down hard-earned muscle tissue as happens frequently in, say, endurance training.

I am reading The China Study and want to hear your opinion on it. If there's already a post about it floating around, I would really appreciate having the link. Mark!

I've commented downthread, I'm really hoping either you or Rusty respond as your contention that 150 grams of protein daily is required for optimum health seems to contradict a lot of Rusty's thinking about protein intake which pretty much undercuts your whole post.
