Jelly might be titable. You know. . . The fruit of the tree.

But only if the tree was in Israel . . . And if you are a Jew.

I don't think gluten is bad. I think a lot of "gluten intolerance" may be a combination of gmo-intolerance and pesticide-intolerance? Plus, long term damage to the intestine due to the rest of the junk in the Standard American Diet (SAD).

Also, I don't think the food laws are specifically health related, necessarily. Chickens are clean per the Bible, but if you've raised them you know they ain't pure as the driven snow compared to pigs. Plus, locusts are okay but don't practically all insects harbor tons of microscopic parasites that could be really really bad for you?

I think the food laws have to do with something other than simple health. I mean, cow clean but horse unclean? As much as the idea of eating horse meat makes me shake my head, still I don't see horse being massively unhealthy - they eat the same diet as cows, pretty much.

I've always wondered, though, why bees are unclean but bee poop (aka "honey") is allowed?

I believe animal fats are extremely important to good health. Plus getting rid of VEGETABLE oils. Except for olive oil, and coconut oil, which one you can cook with and the other you can never cook with.

.

We need to eat healthy amounts of what our bodies are made from: which means large amounts of protein from meat sources, particularly but not limited to, red meat, and other sources of HDL cholesterol (avocados, most nuts, dairy, eggs, cod liver oil, the two oils named above by EB, and etc.)

After that, raw and fermented foods are great for the stomach and the digestive track. Throw in some seeds and greens, and you're good to go!

Also, go organic!

Pasteurization destroys harmful, but also beneficial bacteria, plus nutrient content. It also destroys certain enzymes, including the very ones that protect a person's digestive track and allow them to tolerate lactose.

I avoid eating all the foods that God declared unclean and not fit for eating.
I may occasionally yield to temptation and eat a shrimp or a piece of bacon, but I try as much as possible to stay away from those foods.
