Oats are not a health food.

Oatmeal can raise insulin for up to 3 hours as digestive enzymes convert its starch into glucose, temporarily suppressing fat burning and making it harder to use stored visceral fat for energy. Large portions can also trigger blood sugar fluctuations and adrenaline release in sensitive people, while phytic acid reduces the absorption of minerals such as magnesium, iron and zinc, and glyphosate residues raise concerns about effects on beneficial gut bacteria.

A better breakfast for stable blood sugar is eggs, sardines or unsweetened Greek yoghurt, providing protein without a large glucose spike. If eating oats, choose organic rolled oats in smaller portions and combine them with chia seeds, psyllium husk and protein to slow digestion and improve fullness.

NAC, oregano oil, retinol, manuka honey and betaine HCl support different pathways involved in respiratory mucus and congestion. NAC breaks the disulphide bonds holding thick mucin proteins together, thymol and carvacrol in oregano have antimicrobial activity, vitamin A maintains healthy mucus membranes, and reflux control helps prevent stomach contents from irritating the throat and triggering additional phlegm.

NAC is commonly used at 600 mg once or twice daily, while vitamin A can be obtained from egg yolks, liver and traditional cod liver oil. Manuka honey may soothe an irritated throat, and addressing persistent reflux is particularly useful when mucus worsens after meals or during sleep; concentrated oregano oil requires careful dilution and is not suitable for everyone.

Full moon means it's the best time for a parasite cleanse. The wee beasties come out closer to the surface from their hiding places in your body when it's a full moon. Rogershood Apothecary has the best option I've found. Only 1 pill, the binder. Everything else is in drop form. Plus it has a heavy metal and candida detox along with parasite. If you have pets, have ever eaten out or traveled abroad, there is a good chance you've picked up a parasite of some kind. We regularly deworm our pets, we need it to.

Today's healthy experiment: Dream Honey. Chamomile, passion flower and butterfly pea flower covered in honey. Chamomile is a nerve tonic by itself. Passion flower is also one of nature's calming herbs. Butterfly pea makes it a pretty purple. Together they will help calm the nervous sytem, settle the stomach and calm restlessness. Added to tea after dinner or simply take a spoonful in the evenings when the body feels unsettled or wired.

The system is designed to make you want to eat more. The system is based on profit, not what is going to nourish our souls.

Howard Moskowitz engineered the modern food supply.
He is the psychophysicist who mapped the “bliss point”—the precise concentration of sugar, salt, and fat at which liking peaks and then declines. Below it, the product is under-stimulating. Above it, it becomes cloying. At the peak, people keep eating.

Moskowitz applied this systematically. He ran large sensory panels for Prego, optimizing chunkiness, sweetness, and salt until sales rose. He did the same for soft drinks, soups, and snacks for Pepsi, Kraft, and others. The method is straightforward: vary one ingredient across a range, plot hedonic ratings, and formulate to the top of the inverted-U curve.

Companies paid him because it reliably increased consumption.

He has been clear that this does not create pharmacological addiction. It simply maximizes palatability so that satiety signals are overridden by sensory reward. The practical result is hyper-palatable products that drive higher intake than whole foods of the same caloric density.

The data are consistent with what we observe in ultraprocessed food trials: when people are given free access to foods optimized around these sensory peaks, they eat more. Moskowitz’s work shows the mechanism was deliberate and measurable decades ago.
