lol to answer the naysayers...Re: Superfood(s) question and learning opportunity
But I like your answer better. "Who really frickin' cares? It appears to be working!"
You know how it is. Them: "You're JUST drinking juices? For a month?" Me: "Or longer. I've done several juice fasts. I feel phenomenal when I fast." Them: "What about protein? You can't build muscle mass without it." Me: "It's in the Superfood." Them: "Exactly how much protein are you getting?" Me: "40-50% protein by volume." Them: "In what form?" Me: "Plants. Spirulina, chlorella, blue green algaes, nutritional yeast, things like that." Them: "You don't even eat nuts or anything?" Me: "Not when I'm juice fasting. When I'm raw vegan I eat some." Them: "How much protein are you getting in grams?" Me: "I'm not sure." Them: "Well, then I don't think this is a very healthy program, etc."
You are right. Everybody wants the scientific facts. Everybody wants the medical documentation, the clinical studies and trials, the journal abstracts, because we have been conditioned to believe that these things are the authority. And yet
Science changes all the time. Every semester the college kids have to buy a new textbook because the old one is outdated. Jesus said, "Who cares? The blind see and the lame walk!"
And you make an excellent point about variables in the samples. A tomato grown in my back yard won't have the exact same chemical content that a tomato grown in your back yard will have. So your Aggies and my Aggies may not come up with the same findings, and the published answers all depends on who got their book to the printer's first (seriously, folks- several Baylor profs go to my church and have talked about this).
Anyway, I'm just excited to learn that Superfood is packed with all KINDS of great nutrition, and it does a whole lot more than I first knew.
