Hi Reader,

Have you heard of them? They are called the Hateful 8 because they wreak havoc on our bodies.

I shared a post on both my personal page and my bread page on Facebook today and 1 was removed and the other one no one looked at it. I thought it was weird and then I thought, it’s because of the words “Seed Oils” I used. I ended up editing my post and changed one word around. I hope everyone can read between the lines as this is such an important topic.

I read a book a few months ago called Dark Calories by Catherine Shanahan,MD. She’s a practicing doctor. It’s the best book I’ve ever read (other than the Bible). It talks about the effects of seed oils in our body. Did you know seed oils are worse for us than sugar? Than white sugar? I had no idea seed oils were worse. I removed them (and white sugar) from my home about 20 years ago but unfortunately, I still eat out and go to other’s homes for meals. I’m working on how to avoid them at restaurants, especially when we are traveling. I don’t eat fast food but occasionally we like Longhorn or Mexican (the chips are so bad for us but they are so good 🤦🏼‍♀️) places.

I’m doing a Two-Week Challenge to Remove Seed Oils from our diet and wanted to see if you’d like to join me. My husband, Bill, and I are doing it. It’s all FREE and I’m not selling anything. Just thought it would be fun to support each other. It’s just 2 weeks (that’s only 14 days) of cooking at home. No chips, no sodas, no processed foods, at all. In the back of the book, there is a guide on what to eat for the 2 weeks. I already do this myself but again, I eat out. I can feel it in my joints and the inflammation, well, I’m tired of it.

You can buy the book on Amazon but it’s not necessary. I’m going to do some LIVES on the group page discussing the book. We will go over the 2 week meal plan and discuss how we are doing. I’m really curious to see what changes will happen. I’ll also be sharing tips on how to keep going moving forward. So, if you have mystery symptoms or just feel lethargic, I hope you will join me on this challenge.

What About Consuming Flour?

Well, I’m excited to tell you that Dr. Cate endorses eating freshly milled flour! I’ve never heard any other doctor talk about it. She believes that the most nutritious bread comes from flour that has been milled and then baked right away. She also loves using it in Sourdough bread.

I know it’s good for us, but I thought it would be nice to include Dr. Cate’s endorsement here. I’m also including a snippet from her book where she talks about it.
