veggiegirl said:You are probably right that high intake of pufa's is linked with all
kinds of diseases, but I think there is a huge difference between
consuming corn/sunflower oil on the one hand, and walnuts/almonds on the
other.
True. Also it's consuming damaged PUFA that's the real problem rather
than simply how much. Heating oils provides a large surface area for
oxygen attack and lots of energy for it to happen. In contrast, a solid
nut has little oxygen entry and if unheated, little damage.
Quoted message said:I recently started a vegan diet. I am rather active and need some high
calorie low sugar (I tend to eat too much dried fruit) foods in my diet.
Are there any other foods you suggest? Meat and cheese eating has been
linked with all kinds of diseases as well (and I'd rather not eat them
for other reasons).
Greek-style yoghurt?
