[toc]Food is a favorite part of traveling for many. For us, it’s the part we hate. Why? Because whether it’s plant-based, gluten free, nut free, macrobiotic, or simply 100% organic food, no other city we’ve been to – neither domestically nor abroad – offers as many good restaurants which cater to these health-conscious categories as our hometown of Los Angeles. Yet almost all of those fabulous restaurants ignore the elephant in the room… acrylamide and other Advanced Glycation End products […]

Meat Causes Cancer? Advanced Glycation End Products HCAs & PAHs

Superfoodly — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 12:00:03 +0000

[toc]It was Memorial Day weekend and while shopping in Whole Foods, one of us witnessed a mother scold her son as he put hamburgers in the cart. “We don’t buy conventional, ONLY organic!” she exclaimed. Tossing the patties aside as if they were trash, she sighed and grabbed the organic beef patties – at twice the price – and proudly showcased her big white veneers with a smile as she carefully placed them in her cart. Or how about the […]

Persimmon Health Benefits: US Fruit 800% Better Than Japan’s

Superfoodly — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 12:00:40 +0000

[toc]What are persimmons good for? Not only can the average American not answer that question, but they probably can’t even tell you what this fruit is, where it comes from, or what it tastes like! That’s funny, because the species growing in our own backyard may be far superior to the other, much more popular Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki). It’s actually the national fruit of Japan. The two most popular cultivars of it are Fuyu and Hachiya. The Fuyu looks […]

[toc]Regardless of whether you are an omnivore or a vegan, this antioxidant is unique and we highly recommend supplementing with it. Here is the one we use ourselves 3x daily. Since it’s synthesized, it’s also suitable for plant-based dieters. Most people are shocked to see just how little antioxidant content there is in meat, dairy, and eggs. An exhausting analysis of how much antioxidants there are in 3,100 different foods was published a few years back. These foods weren’t cherry […]

Goldenseal Root Benefits Come With Side Effects

Superfoodly — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 12:00:10 +0000

[toc]No, that price is not a typo. The above photo was taken at a co-op in Michigan where the powder retails for $250 per pound. Are they ripping you off? Nope. Goldenseal Walmart pricing is actually worse. In-store, they only sell the powder capsules, but their website sells the same bulk root powder at an even higher price of $259 per pound. On Amazon, we have found some good deals on it. Specifically, a quarter-pound (4 oz) bag from Starwest […]

Sea Buckthorn Oil vs. Berries: Which Has More Benefits?

Superfoodly — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 12:00:02 +0000

[toc]No, its scientific name of Hippophae rhamnoides has nothing to do with hippos, but it does with horses. Here’s the Latin to English translation for each part: hippos = horse phae (phaos) = light Horselight?! The grammatically correct translation is giving light to a horse. The meaning of its name came from the earliest recorded use – in ancient Greece, they reportedly fed the berries to horses to make their fur glossier. Eye benefits for the horses were also claimed, […]

Superfoodly — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 12:00:45 +0000

[toc]Not to say they’re useless, but some of the most hyped superfoods have the least amount of research. There isn’t a single peer-reviewed human study to support kombucha benefits and the side effects are unknown by many users. What is dragon fruit good for? Very little antioxidant activity, trivial vitamin and mineral content, and there aren’t clinical studies. The benefits are highly exaggerated. On the flip side, some of the most deserving superfoods are ignored. This is especially true with […]
