    Personal opinion. I will not buy from Temu as they have been accused of capturing personal data. I have bought stuff from them but won't anymore. too much risk

    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    I don't believe it is really due to online shopping. I have been a Rivers and Millers shopper for years. Some time ago they changed their focus and downgraded the quality and design of their clothing. Lovely colourful tops and pants gave way to chunky, single colour (mostly dark), heavy material...

    This state is on the brink of a health crisis. Will this affect other Aussie states soon?

    The biggest issue is regional areas. They are depending more and more on the ambulance service and the emergency departments. We live 60 kms from a regional town. We now have to go to that regional town for medical services. The medical practice we got to is growing with new doctors and...

    Experts Reveal the Secret Superfood That Melts Pounds Away—Are You Eating It Yet?

    Oh grief here we go again on the calories in calories out theory. Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. Cannot use thermodynamics on humans. Try carb counting. Watch out for nuts, some have high oxalate count. Can cause oxalate damage. Better to eat macadamias. Higher better fats and very low in oxalates...

    Eating just a little ham each day could skyrocket your diabetes risk – New research reveals an alarming trend!

    Sorry we need salt to survive it's the sugar that is the problem. Find a butcher who does his own hams. Less stuff in them. Cured just means it's been through a process to allow it to keep longer.

    Eating just a little ham each day could skyrocket your diabetes risk – New research reveals an alarming trend!

    Red meat will not give you diabetes. But eating highly processed junk will. The more carbs the more glucose put into the body, the more insulin related the more likely to end up with diabetes. Protein and fat do not cause diabetes, junk food, high carb diet do. Seed oil is poison too.

    Eating just a little ham each day could skyrocket your diabetes risk – New research reveals an alarming trend!

    Yeah lots of rubbish out there that people believe. The more carbs, the more glucose in the blood, the more insulin released and then the diabetes arrives and it gets worse over time. Sad

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    I try to be a messenger. Research and see what you find. I don't have medical qualifications and to be honest I think these days they are more dangerous than the guy who does his own research and finds what works. I've found a great group of doctors and dieticians, most who have had health...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    Lately I have been. I have cherries in season. I also usually eat raspberries and strawberries and a bit of mango. I like to have some in season. I prefer not to be full carnivore these days. Find my system runs better with a bit of fruit and veg but don't eat a lot and not every day. I might...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    Not harsh just the truth. I learned the hard way, hoping to help others learn and help themselves. Most have no idea until they get a doctor or dietician who knows the truth.

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    obviously you know nothing about fruit. Fruit is sugar, most is 40% fructose the type of sugar processed by the liver. All fruit is sugar no matter what type it is. We have to process food in certain ways. Some is processed by the body into glucose directly from the mouth. Some has to be...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    I doubt I am always right. I just don't like seeing people sick from eating badly. What some call healthy isn't my idea of healthy. I've fallen off the low carb wagon more times than I care to think about due to lack of weigh loss. My blood work is pretty good so not going to worry about it...

    This is possible but would what you ate actually give you good health long term. Fruit and snacks can be problematic. We should not be eating all day. We need one to two meals, very nutrient dense. We should not either snack or feel we need to snack. Any straight sugar or carbs can cause a...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    Sorry don't believe this. Mostly it is what we put in our mouths. It can take many years but between the jabs and ultra processed foods the young are now suffering from young age diabetes and ending up obese (I don't consider obesity a disease but a product of disease) and cancer. When you see...

    Yes best way to go. I haven't lost much weight but initial 16 kg. Long time on low carb. Now looking at ideas to help me toward better health. Blood markers very good. On meds for Afib but think this might be an electrolyte issue. Going to really work on it from new year. Glad you have had such...

    I love how they pick people who have issues with doing this. If you go very low carb you will get withdrawal symptoms similar to flu. It's usually low electrolytes. Also many don't up the salt intake when they stop eating a lot of sugar and this is an issue. Sugar is poison, salt is healthy...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    Yes we did HOWEVER, may of us are sick with diabetes, cancer and other health issues. All can be traced back to eating more processed foods than our parents fed us. Yes we had sugar but that was changed when they added fructose to dextrose to get crystallised sugar. Then sugar was added to...

    Protect Your Holiday Joy! Discover How a Local Councillor Might Crush Perth's Cherished Christmas Tradition!

    FFS, so we just stop Christmas and any other celebration that might chew up a bit of electricity. Good grief, when will it stop. There is no climate emergency, it is fabricated. The solar and wind power is the worst kind of electricity generation ever invented. When the wind turbines blow up and...

    Get groceries for 30 per cent cheaper than supermarkets with this shopping trick

    Yeah real good it you eat lots of fruit and veg. Pity it can't be done with meat and eggs. I've done some order online and have delivered and it was off when it arrived. No really keen on driving miles to do pick up

    Venues across Australia spark debate by opting out of Australia Day celebrations

    Good to see so many supporting the boycott of these venues. All it does is divide. I've grown up with many different people with very different heritages. Including Aboriginals. They are humans like the rest of us and it's about time the idiots in charge and those who follow the woke crap grew a...
