Reference to "ancestors" is going back to the early 1900's. The charts and old recipe snippets are interesting.
Perhaps something more...
Unfortunately, in many cases you can't even trust the labels. Your cheese may show "rennet" as an ingredient but is really Fermentation-Produced Chymosin (FPC).
Sorry, I hoped 5 ingredient didn't come across that way. Cook with as much as you want, but the advice was that when you BUY something already packaged , the ingredient list on the package should have no more than 5 ingredients.
Plus, you'd want to apply come common sense. If you buy dried...
Well, I didn't list it as I would not want that to come across as an endorsement or recommendation. But, since you asked ...
The New Arthritis Cure: Eliminate Arthritis and Fibromyalgia Pain Permanently

He's a big proponent of coconut oil. (And I have largely switched to...
Many years ago I read a book that suggested only buy things to eat that have 5 ingredients or less and avoid anything with crazy long names that are hard to pronounce. And, while that's over simplified and can miss thigs that should be avoided, it really is a decent mind frame / place to start...
I think this really hits the nail on the head. For decades the common nutrition mantra was 'eating fats makes you fat' and 'eating a high cholesterol diet give you high cholesterol.' The studies behind those were flimsy at best and mostly financed/promoted by people who profited from it ...
This had me thinking of an article that just expired on Mercola.com.

Fortunately, I saved it to PDF, now attached for your reading pleasure.
The sample size is ridiculously low. But it still has some good information that can make one pause to...

Personally, I'm not a fan of using our tax code to manipulate peoples behaviors. Think of your least favorite politician ... do you want that person dictating your decisions by controlling taxes?

Just stumbled upon this today on emulsifiers:

(not one my my usual go-to sources for information and I haven't checked out the sources)
here's something I just read that pertains to the discussions a bit. It's from a human health perspective, but does discuss animal wellbeing also. (and really, that is sort of consistent with the OP.)...
Sometimes 'science' becomes 'folk knowledge.' I remember reading that opossums eat ticks and including Lyme-disease-carrying deer ticks. Apparently some study led 'scientists' to believe it and it got repeated ad nauseum until it became folk knowledge. It since later has been debunked. But...
