Good post here from RealFood Forager, reminding us to avoid Omega 6 laden polyunsaturaed industrial vegetable oils, ie oils from soybean, canola, corn, etc.  These can also be found in most processed foods you’ll find on the supermarket aisles.

Healthy oil salad dressings are simple and cheap to make – be sure you know the olive oil is pure – or there are several excellent commercially sold ones, including Bragg’s dressings which are available at our store.

Also this article has a good reminder about ensuring your meats have a proper Omega 3/6 balance, which you will find in 100% grass-fed and not in the grain-fed, never mind the hormones and anti-biotics.

(Dr Allie had two healthy sons at home with the help of an amazing team of midwives. As yet another sad reflection of our overpriced health care system, insurance would not cover the very reasonable fee – just 10% of a typical hospital birth – yet the far more expensive hospital route would have been covered in full).
