It should be available at Walmart or Kroger for sure. They come in those square liter plastic bottles. A friend of mine swears by it and thinks it’s great.

The whey from Dean Foods is definitely my favorite! You can find it at Walmart and Safeway.

By the way, did you get my DM about the boat?

Yeah, I got it, thanks. 🙂

You started off being pretty subtle, but now you’re really letting it all out!!!
McGregor-Hummer is back!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏

casualnomad42 said:"B vitamins—specifically B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), and B6 (pyridoxine)—are critical for athletes since they play such a huge role in energy production. Meanwhile, B12 (cyanocobalamin) is vital for blood formation, maintaining epithelial cells, and supporting the myelin sheath of nerves. When you increase carbohydrate intake, your body's demand for these vitamins goes up to help convert those carbs into glucose. You can find these naturally in beef, pork, organ meats like liver and kidneys, chicken, turkey, wheat germ, barley, bran, milk and dairy, yeast, almonds, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, eggs, peanuts, tuna, dates, figs, and prunes."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m talking specifically about soy protein isolate, not the whole plant. I agree that B12 is essential, but like you mentioned earlier, it’s all about the full spectrum of micronutrients. A diet needs to be balanced, but the real question is how much "luck" we have in actually absorbing what we need from standard food, even when we try to pick the best stuff. 😉

A perfectly balanced meal containing every necessary vitamin, mineral, fiber, protein, unsaturated fat, and healthy carb mostly exists only in nutrition textbooks—regardless of what people think (though athletes usually have the best handle on this). 😉 🙂

Here we go again! Why does this feel like a total rerun of the McGregor vs. Poirier fight?🙄

James Newman4 said:Look, seriously... 😲

thanks 👍

That's not it, honey. It's just the same old answer you guys always give...
Maybe dig through your old posts a bit so you aren't just recycling those McGregor lines. 🙂

James Newman4 said:It wouldn't be the first or last time someone decided to borrow my jokes and stories... 😎
(I was just about to ask—if what you're saying is true, he really screwed himself over.. 🙂 )

I have no idea who's copying whom, but you two seem like twin brothers.
I won't comment on mental health issues...😁

Here's the link. Go ahead and hammer away at it; maybe we can get rid of both of you at once.🎉

James Newman4 said:I quit back when I was thirteen... 🙂 😁
(My grandma caught on and stopped handing me cash for ice cream) 🙂

Hmm. McGregor gave that exact same answer once upon a time. 🥳

89 years old and still going strong!!! 🎉

jadesailor14 said:I just slid a cherry and currant cake from my garden patch into the fridge with some yogurt. It looks great.😍, all marbled with light and dark red and white. Not too sweet, just really fluffy.

But jadesailor14 isn't allowed to eat 🙂 🙂 🙂.

jadesailor14, I am so jealous! Especially with those cherries and currants! Can I have some? Please? 🙂 🙂 🙂

James Newman4 said:The only thing your body cries out for more than water is oxygen!

And the only thing this forum needs is a self-proclaimed healer and know-it-all like James Newman4 🙏 🙏 🙏

James Newman4, you still haven't told us what your actual background is. I doubt we'd be putting you to work on a construction site if you're actually, say, in sales. 😁

Amy Martinez5 said:Garlic is great—try to eat it with meals whenever you can. It’s easiest in the evening before bed when you don't have to worry about being around anyone.
Fish is also incredibly healthy for people struggling with lipid levels. Same goes for lemon juice or lemonade. These aren't just old wives' tales; they're actual medical recommendations.

The downside to garlic at night is that you'll be sweating it out through your pores the next day, which is honestly awful. However, you can make garlic drops by using an ethanol extraction. You just take those drops with some milk. It works just as well without leaving you smelling terrible to everyone around you.😉

Edward Green said:Exactly what he said. 🙂

There's actually a thread a bit lower down on this subject. 👋

The bioptron lamp uses polarized light; it has absolutely nothing to do with sunlight or UVA/UVB rays

Are you actually advertising and selling that stuff from James Newman4 on the Forum???

James Newman4 said:Back up those claims! 😁

Maybe I'll have some sort of epiphany (or a vision at Lourdes) and finally grasp something that's currently over my head... 😁

Look, buddy, just grab a textbook—start with high school organic chemistry. Once you've mastered that, move on to Dow Chemical texts and Lehninger biochemistry. Then you'll find the evidence you're looking for. It won't be my opinion; it'll be established facts taught from elementary school all the way up...
Oh, right—you operate heavy machinery, so school probably wasn't really your thing.😁

James Newman4 said:If it’s found in fruit, we aren't talking about an additive or a supplement—it's just natural (read: ORIGINAL), regardless of what it is... 😁

If something is labeled an additive or a supplement, the implication is that it was produced chemically (read: synthetically)... 😉

If people claim something is harmful because it was made chemically, they're assuming there's a flaw somewhere... which leads to the conclusion that synthetic and natural versions don't behave the same way, even if they look identical at first glance... 😁

They don't just "look" the same; they are synthetically identical. Vitamins isolated from nature and those made in a lab are COMPLETELY equal, both in composition and in how they work!!!

James Newman4 said:The bottom line:
The molecular structure of a synthetic vitamin versus one isolated from nature isn't the point; the difference lies in how it actually ACTS on the body's cells... 👎

Synthetic and natural vitamins will NEVER be the same, no matter how much you all insist otherwise!!!

It's basic chemistry—how a molecule acts is determined by its structure. If there is no difference in the molecular structure, there is no difference in how it works! Your brain just can't wrap itself around that idea.

shopping at MacGregor😁

David Sanchez6 said:FOOD ADDITIVES (transcript from a report by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital)

E330 is the most dangerous additive out there. It’s found in mustard, certain non-alcoholic pizzas, crab meat, some cheeses, and canned mushrooms.

🙄
It's actually life-threatening to eat things like sauerkraut, peppers, kiwi, or citrus... they contain massive amounts of E330.

Those cabbage rolls are going to be the death of me. 🙂

James Newman4 said:Save that lecture for toddlers or someone who actually believes you. 😉 😁

It’s funny how you can think someone has hit rock bottom, and then they still manage to surprise you. 🙄

So why don't you, being such an expert nutritionist, explain the actual molecular difference between synthetic Vitamin C and the stuff extracted from nature?

jezebel said:So, I have a quick question from a layman. Let’s take ascorbic acid, for example. Is natural vitamin C and lab-made vitamin C TOTALLY identical in structure, or is this man-made version just a little imitation that merely mimics the function of the natural one? Ha, ha, ha. I mean, (okay, I know there isn't much to debate here, this isn't a PhD thesis), but if there is even a slight structural difference, shouldn't we consider the possibility that some minor part of the artificial version might "react" incorrectly within our bodies? (Please, no sarcastic remarks or comments like "well, people are sensitive to plenty of natural things" and such—I already get all that. Just looking for a polite answer to the question.)

Thanks in advance!

Bye!

There is absolutely NO difference between lab-synthesized vitamin C and the version isolated from nature, whether you're looking at its structure or how it works.
