🥑🥩 "Essential" Fatty Acids Explained (Simply): Why We Need Them & Where They Come From
Omega-3 and omega-6 are essential fatty acids your body can't make, so you must get them from food. Omega-6 (LA) aids clotting and immunity, while omega-3 (ALA) supports brain and heart health—but converts poorly to EPA/DHA, which are mainly in fish. Too much omega-6, especially from seed oils, can fuel chronic inflammation. Balance is key—aim for more omega-3s, fewer processed oils, and know that even carnivore diets can meet essential fat needs.

Canola: How Did An Engine Lubricant Become An Industrial "Food"?
Canola oil is a type of vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the canola plant, a member of the Brassica family.

Understanding pH: Why Acidic Foods Can Still Alkalize Your Body
Not all acidic foods are acid-forming. While many plant-based foods have low pH values, they promote alkalinity in the body after digestion. In contrast, animal products—even those with similar pH—tend to be acid-forming. Lifestyle factors like stress and poor sleep also influence your pH balance. This guide clears up common misconceptions about food, pH, and how your body processes what you eat.

Seed Oils Saga
Dr. Chris Knobbe links the surge in chronic diseases—like obesity and diabetes—to the rise of seed oil consumption. From 1922–1987, obesity rose 600% while seed oil intake jumped from 78 to 497 calories/day. Seed oils damage metabolism, promote inflammation, and are nutrient-poor. Once used as machine oil, they now make up ⅓ of U.S. calories. To avoid them: skip packaged foods, eat whole foods, and cook with healthy fats like butter or olive oil.

Excuse Me, Waiter, But There’s "NOT" A Fly In My Soup!
Many everyday foods contain trace amounts of insect-derived ingredients or bug fragments. Additives like carmine (from crushed beetles) and shellac (from lac bugs) are used for coloring and glazing. Even honey, beeswax, and royal jelly come from insects. The FDA allows a certain level of insect fragments in food, as total removal is nearly impossible. On average, Americans unknowingly consume 1–2 pounds of bugs per year through common foods.
