Almonds
Almond joy! Dieters who ate 3 ounces of these nuts every day reduced their weight and body-mass index by a solid 18 percent compared with an 11 percent drop in the no-nut group, a study in the International Journal of Obesity found. Almonds are high in alpha-linolenic acid, which can speed the metabolism of fats. Stick to 12 per serving.

Well, this is interesting.  In spite of all the disclaimers above, these are the foods that I grew up on; particularly, mustard, sweet potatoes and oranges.  I have always weighed a lot less than most people.  Must be something to it!

This article, as the person who wrote about the tumeric pointed out, is filled with flaws. Dairy foods of all kinds are not good sources of calcuim. These acid-producing foods actually leach calcium and other minerals from the bone as the body tries to maintain a slightly alkaline Ph. The study this article uses to promote the use of dairy products was done by, guess who, the dairy industry. Additionally, all the hormones found in non-organically produced dairy promote weight gain as well as cancer. This is why I don't subscribe to Self or Prevention Magazines. Both are sell-outs to Big Pharma.

I have to say something about the entry on mustard: the information about tumeric is accurate, but, hilariously, they show a bottle of Grey Poupon ... which contains no tumeric!  Tumeric is not in all mustards, thought it is in all "yellow" mustards.  Check the ingredients!

Yes I have to agree the picture is correct.
Actually calling it a yam is incorrect but it is a common mistake.
Sweet Potatoes

Popular in the American South, these yellow or orange tubers are elongated with ends that taper to a point and are of two dominant types. The paler-skinned sweet potato has a thin, light yellow skin with pale yellow flesh which is not sweet and has a dry, crumbly texture similar to a white baking potato. The darker-skinned variety (which is most often called "yam" in error) has a thicker, dark orange to reddish skin with a vivid orange, sweet flesh and a moist texture.

 

Yams

 

The yam tuber has a brown or black skin which resembles the bark of a tree and off-white, purple or red flesh, depending on the variety. They are at home growing in tropical climates, primarily in South America, Africa, and the Caribbean.

The pic is correct.   The color of both the skin and flesh of sweet potato roots range from white to orange to red, depending on the cultivar.

hey william,

can you pls tell me what did you do to remove the skin tags as im also suffereing from them :(

i will be waiting for your reply

thanks

 

this sounds pretty gross but here goes:  tie a string (like dental floss-unwaxed) very tightly to the base of the tag.  It MUST be left there until the tag falls off...this can take days!  What you are doing is cutting off the blood supply to the tag.  It really does work and the tie thing is very difficult to do...but sooooo worth it.
