what do ya know... Dr. OZ said something worth listening too

While driving home from my morning commute from my part-part (fun) time job at 7am and listening to Preston and Steve, Dr. Oz was a guest. Usually I turn the channel or station but something spiked my interest. ARSENIC!



Apparently in the news channels are up-in-arms about arsenic being found in apple juice! I was shocked to hear that it's even in water! Anyway, as I was beginning to educate myself about the paleo lifestyle it was natural that I learned a little about evolution as well. The strongest survive.... and in order to keep the "blood lines" going something needs to protect the vital "seed" in order to reproduce. Just so happens (can't quote the book because i'm actually not sure which one it was in but here is the few that I read- new evolution diet, primal blueprint, paleo diet, paleo solution, why we get fat, good calorie bad calorie) that APPLES, our red delicious, fuji, gala and pink ladies have ARSENIC in their seeds!!! I know someone who consumes the whole apple leaving nothing to spare- including the seeds. Since becoming aware of this I phoned them and said _STOP EATING THE WHOLE DARN APPLE!!_
This is natures self defense mechanism. Creatures in nature eat the seeds and die. The trend catches on and the creatures don't eat the seeds anymore- and lo-and behold we still APPLES!
Moral of the story- enjoy the fruit- but leave the seed for reproduction!

Second point that Dr OZ made today was about sleep. Nappytime is good! the good ol'cat nap is proven to boost brain recovery. 20-30min max, any longer can lead to grogginess.

Thanks all... thanks!!
