The effectiveness of the greens lies in the fact that they provide an intensely alkaline environment which sickens candida.
Ignore this line, Cameragirl. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a scientific study that shows just the opposite.
Eating too much whole greens seemed to just sit in my stomach for hours upon hours. They only worked if i juiced them , slightly boiled the juice and drank it on a empty stomach.
I agree with cargo.. High alkalinity produces a suitable environment for fungal candida. Its beneficial acids that keep fungal candida in check. What about most green veggies that candida does not like? If anything green leafy veggies are usually the first item in your fridge to get moldy. The lack of beneficial acids(preserving acids) proabably explains that.

In my fridge, just the opposite is true. In fact I have NEVER seen mold on things like arugula, romaine lettuce, iceburg lettuce, parsley, kale, dandelion greens, etc. If left long enough they start to wilt or rot (especially prewashed bags of lettuce) but never any mold.
Mold will much sooner grow on things with more sugar or carbs or calories: bread, cake, ketchup, cheese, carrots, leftover meats. You name it.
Ive never seen mold grow on ketchup or leftover meat(nothing added to it). When exposed to moisture spinach will get mold faster than almost anything that i know of. I think it depends on the food item and how it can harbor moisture which can promote mold. Also depends on the preservatives and acids in the food as well. Bread harbors moisture very well gets moldy fast. Oils can sit on the shelves for months and never get moldy. Sugar water can sit in the fridge and not get moldy. Carrot juice which is very alkaline has to be used up very quickly. It just seems the more alkaline the substance is the faster it gets moldy/goes bad.

You are right, moisture is the biggest factor, not sugar content. Look at wallboard after a flood. It can get very moldy not from sugar content but from presence of moisture. Sugar content is secondary as the moisture is required to get the growth going.
Also, people should keep in mind that the practice of culturing food was started to preserve the food as the acids control the growth of molds, fungi, and other pathogens.
In one of your posts you say that beef and dairy can have a lot of estrogens. Is this found mostly in the fat of the animal meat? Is it mostly just beef that contains these estrogens or does other meat have some as well.
Do you have any reasearch that shows the detectable levels of estrogens in beef and dairy?
The method I used to prepare the greens was a light stir-fry. I found slightly cooked greens to be more effective than raw.
You said "High alkalinity produces a suitable environment for fungal candida. Its beneficial acids that keep fungal candida in check"
I disagree that alkalinity produces a suitable environment for fungal candida. My candidiasis developed during periods of extreme acidosis in my life.
As for beneficial acids, remember that the presence of beneficial acids is not correlated to the overall pH of the intestines. In other words, you can have an alkaline pH and still have substantial beneficial acids present.
My candida die-off became spontaneous after my 7th liver flush (which was the first one to procure green bile flow) because of the constant alkaline environment. The candidiasis overgrowth developed in part due to occluded bile flow from intrahepatic stones, which the liver flushing successfully removed.
There is someone else here who responds with bold letters that you seem to enjoy mimicking. He also happens to be wrong.
Cute but not convincing. Eating greens alkalinizes the body.
I just have one question for you, Fecal Matter Smiley Face.
When I stick my arms into the toilet at the library to scoop out my bowel movement, should I carry it home in a thermos or in my pockets?
