They’re a fruit but not a sweet fruit. Whenever I refer to sweet fruit (or fruit in general) I’m talking about apples, oranges bananas, mangoes etc.

Peppers, avocados and cucumbers don’t count since they have suc a low sugar content.

Hi, i am currently trying to get a good source of omega 3 on a budget so i was going to go for flax seeds then i found out that they contain 3 times as many phytoestrogens as soy which is around 350000 micrograms(flax), i then looked at other foods and found that all beans and seeds have high phtyo estrogen content around the 600 (+/-) 300 microgram mark, i want to try the hippocrates diet but i also would like to include some natural way to block these estrogens, do you take anything for this?

@joeys123321 and to continue in terms of longevity maintaining a healthy level of hormones is vital, there are so many xeno estrogens in our enviroment that the baby boomer generation is reaching andropause 10 years earlier then there fathers, and the children now are expected to do the same 10 years earlier then them. On the upside the hippocrates diet has was it 2? green drinks a day and green leaves like spinach do have testosterone boosting chemicals.

If wolves eat meat
and fish eat algae
is the difference between us and them in our digestive system

Because the Clement talk mentioned Meat and Algae to be impossibly beneficial in people.

Are you asking a question?? There’s a lot of things different between fish, wolves and people!

What do you mean by impossibly beneficial? Brian is pro algae and against meat.

What’s the best book for learning what the ideal diet is according to the HHI system? Is there a book that will spell out what to eat, what not to eat, how much wheat grass juice to drink a day etc?

Healthful Cuisine by Anna Maria Clement is the recipes for dishes that “fit” the Hippocrates diet ideals.

The book that outlines the diet itslef the best would be “Lifeforce” by Brian Clement. It talks a lot about the nutritional components of sprouts algae and a lot of the most powerful foods that he recommends consuming.
