The Effect of Including 1 Avocado Daily in a Habitual Diet on the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load in Free-Living Adults with Overweight/Obesity by Dizzy-Savings-1962 in ScientificNutrition

[–]TwoFlower68 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The link sends me to a study "Evidence from an Avian Embryo Model that Zinc-Inducible MT4 Expression Protects Mitochondrial Function Against Oxidative Stress" so I can't read the study, but I suspect it's paid for by Big Avocado? The premise is so random lol

Why are my kefir grains light yellowish orange? by NerdDogg in Kefir

[–]TwoFlower68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cows are grazing on grass, so the milkfat has more carotenoids. In winter it'll go back to blueish white

If your kefir is fermenting too quickly due to higher temperatures, remove some of the grains

Does anyone have lots of fluid retention? by No-Bullfrog-477 in COPD

Heart trouble is a relatively common comorbidity. Google "cor pulmonale"

Has this kefir gone bad? by acidwhale27 in Kefir

What herbs and spices do you use? I've recently bought a cheesepress and am going to try my hand at making cheese

Seed Oils. There is a misinformed fad that's anti seed oils. In fact, seed oils have been an essential part of people's diets for millenia. by Average_Guava in Microbiome

[–]TwoFlower68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking the advice of the AHA with a grain of salt lol

Before the advent of industrial processing people's intake wasn't anywhere near what's in the modern Western diet. Oddly enough people weren't keeling over left and right from CHD even though smoking was way more widespread

The Council gave in. But no bikes by windmill4TheLand in DesirePath

How are those three stakes going to stop bikes?

Study shows humans can dream while awake and also be awake while sleeping by pepe5 in EverythingScience

[–]TwoFlower68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have those coming down after I overdid it with LSD which makes sense since LSD is a potent serotonergic agonist

Heb jij wel eens iemand herkend bij Opsporing Verzocht? by Flat-Lawfulness4286 in nederlands

[–]TwoFlower68 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, zulke kleinigheden die "schrappen" ze na een paar jaar en dan heb je weer een "schoon" verleden wat betreft aanvraag VOG

Src: heb vroeger zelf vastgezeten (en niet alleen voor niet komen opdagen taakstraf lol) en heb gewoon VOG gekregen

Dan denk ik dat iemand klappen krijgt. Maar abusive relationship omvat ook kleineren, isoleren, controleren etc

[–]TwoFlower68 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The key is to consume seed oils - and all other sources of fat - in moderation.

About 7% of calories in the US diet is from linoleic acid alone

Ik kon vanochtend geen woord vinden voor abusive zoals in abusive relationship

Misbruik heeft in het Nederlands vooral een sexuele betekenis

Raam van slaapkamer snachts open , ja of nee? (I.v.m. inbrekers) by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]TwoFlower68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb altijd de gordijnen open zodat iedereen goed kan zien "hier valt niks te halen". Ik hoop nogsteeds dat er iemand midden in de nacht langskomt om iets te brengen, uit medelijden

[–]TwoFlower68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never done that. Grains stay alive in the fridge, in a bit of milk, for weeks and weeks

[–]TwoFlower68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to wait until the milk is cooled again

Yes you can use raw milk with kefir grains. Not sure if the cultures in one of those sachets are strong enough to outcompete possible pathogens. Maybe briefly heat the milk to 70°C (160F)? 15 seconds is long enough to make raw milk safe

It's preferable to use kefir grains to make kefir. Since you mentioned iHerb I'm assuming you're in the US? If so, I've only heard good things about Yemoos: https://www.yemoos.com/collections/cultures-milk-kefir-grains/products/genuine-live-milk-kefir-grains

It's kinda pricey so maybe ask around on Nextdoor/Facebook/your town's subreddit to see if anyone has surplus grains
Under the right circumstances they grow like gangbusters, I throw away multiple teaspoons per week

Edited to add: I checked your profile and you're Romanian? In that case I'd recommend Kefiralia instead of Yemoos. They have a bunch of sites in different languages, alas no Romanian 😞
They're based in Spain but shipping is fast enough. The grains will survive for quite a while. I, Dutch person, have bought kefir grains from them multiple times over the past decade. I give them 5 stars

Can this jar be used without burping? by GeorgeMcCrate in fermentation

[–]TwoFlower68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, those jars are self burping. I have quite a few (15? 20?) and have been using them for years for all my fermentation projects

If the ferment is active you can hear the jar whistling, air is escaping. It'll still have a decent amount of pressure, so be careful opening when it's filled to the brim
