Philippe posted:It's flax. The thing is that to get heavy metal poisoning you need to crack the seeds open (by blending them into a smoothie or supplement), if you eat them like normal you're not gonna get poisoned. Ah. Well I'm real loving glad I bought the whole seeds instead of ground. But how do I get the fibre out of them? I mean if the poison stays in, won't the fibre also stay in? HOW FLAKSEED WONRK?!?!

After seeing apricot kernels for sale as a healthy snack, I'll never be surprised by any food designed to kill you / cause you a life of chronic suffering.

I believe that you would be surprised by the Parkinsonism caused by the neurotoxic tisanes of the leaves and twigs of Annona muricata, the soursop tree.

What it didn't say was why; the fuckers are full of whatever heavy metals were in the soil they grew in. Apparently here it means they'll slowly give you cadmium poisoning. Linseed is another word for flax seeds.

I believe the main issue people have with flax is cyanide rather than heavy metal content. You have to eat something like nine tablespoons at once to get near the toxic threshold, and it doesn't seem like there are actually any reported cases of cyanide toxicity from consuming flax. Disclaimer: I am eating ground flax seeds right now and have been doing so every day for about five years. There's a transcript you can skim over here if you don't want to watch the video: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-we-be-concerned-about-the-cyanide-from-flaxseed/

See if you can get psyllium husk for fibre instead. Or you know just eat some fruit and beans / legumes.

There aren't really any studies on the long term consumption of low dose cyanide though and there aren't likely to be any for obvious reasons. Easier to just get your fibre elsewhere.

Easier to just get your fibre elsewhere. There are other reasons than fibre to eat flax, such as reduction in cholesterol and inflammation. Whenever you're considering not doing a thing because of a risk it's worth asking what the opportunity cost of not doing that thing is. edit: I realise the OP was talking specifically about fibre, I just find this subject interesting.

Easier to just get your fibre elsewhere. With its mechanism of action, it would be surprising if low level exposure mattered. It either crosses a threshold and starts killing cells, or it doesn’t and everything is fine. It’s like, living in Quito for three decades doesn’t have anything like the effects of being in the death zone on Mount Everest for three days. Quaint Quail Quilt posted:I use food grade, refrigerated flax oil to season my cast iron pans and now I'm worried about lead. A trivial amount of the oil remained on the pan, a handful of grams, and the whole point is that it is stuck to the pan. You’ll be ingesting less in the lifetime of the pans than many people do every single day by eating foods made with flax oil. That said, flaxseed oil makes for bad seasoning. If it starts to flake, strip the pans with the oven or with lye and reseason with something better, like grapeseed oil.

"30 or something like that" means 41, and she could absolutely be a well made-up and photographed 40.

That's why I'm disappointed. It's not a specific zone that's somewhere on Mount Everest and it kills you. It's just "too high up = not enough oxygen, bad things happen"

It's just "too high up = not enough oxygen, bad things happen" It's also very cold! There really aren't a lot of places in the world that are inherently deadly except like, toxic lakes and places where other gases have displaced oxygen so you just kind of pass right out and die. Deadly stuff tends to be down below. Mountains are just "merely" dangerous

Khumbu icefall gets you if the ground moves. The altitude gets you on descent or when the wind blows.
