We are all on low salt diets, so I had trouble finding no salt pistachios at the store, at least ones that were shelled. I can shell pistachios but my Dad has grip problems in his hands and I doubt he would easily invest in doing that. I bought some honey roasted ones to try out, which had only a little salt on them. Wonder how roasting affects the chemical compounds? I ate a handful last night. No effect on my falling asleep, but definitely something was up with my waking up. Could not wake up this morning for the life of me, didn't get out of bed until 11 and have felt groggy all day, slight headache. Also many weird dreams, and I hardly ever dream. Of course association does not prove causation . . .

I find that yogurt is great if I have a few bites after a meal, but NOT to sub. that with fiber-rich foods. I like yogurt for hot summer, and soup for cold winter. Excerpt from below link: "Drawing on health data from more than a 100,000 participants in three long-running studies — the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986 to 2010), Nurses’ Health Study (1980 to 2010), and Nurses’ Health Study II (1991 to 2009) — the researchers found that a daily serving of yogurt was linked to an 18 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes. " Yogurt may reduce type 2 diabetes risk – Harvard Gazette Yogurt also reduces the risk of colon rectal cancer. Husband's grandmother died of colon cancer and his Mom had breast cancer & masectomy at 40, but his colonoscopy after 60-year old was perfect: zero polyps thanks to his marathon running, plus he eats yogurt daily for breakfast. Higher Yogurt Consumption Is Associated With Lower Risk of Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies - PubMed (nih.gov) My note: Yoplait and DanActive both contain a HUGE amount of sugar, but I have good results with probiotics pills: Culturelle and Fem-Dophilus from the below chart. Both are patented & developed by doctors and CANNOT BE FOUND in fermented foods. Click on below link to see what probiotics are in fermented foods: Instead of buttermilk, I use plain yogurt and sour cream to tenderize chicken breast.

Carol - I'm praying that Holly gets that job which doubles her salary. People with Asperger's are VERY CONCIENTIOUS worker and she deserves it with her dedication. I get tired of melt-downs in my 20-year-old daughter with Asperger's, that I googled "how to reverse Asperger's", and folks mentioned about eliminating dairy and gluten (in bread). Daughter doesn't like bread, and she is lactose-intolerant with milk, but zero problems with yogurt. Below link has good info. on Asperger's: Asperger's Symptoms & Natural Ways to Treat Them - Dr. Axe (draxe.com) " Some research suggests that eliminating the proteins gluten (found in wheat, barley and eye) and casein protein (found in milk products) ... both can aggravate symptoms of Asperger’s because they act as a false opiate neuropeptides. In 2007, a study conducted at the Department of Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatry in Vienna, Austria found that omega-3 fatty acids may be an effective treatment for children with autism, suggesting they may also help treat Asperger’s symptoms. A dose of 1.5 grams per day for six weeks improved the symptoms of autism with no adverse side effects. Researchers found that B6/magnesium supplementation improved PDD symptoms in 23 of 33 children with no adverse side effects — in addition, 23 of 33 experienced improved social reactions and 24 of 33 displayed improved communication." From Straw: sunflower seeds and oatmeal are high in vitamin B6. I need to make rolls or pancakes with those. She's more flexible with her routine and doing well with chelated B6 and magnesium supplement, plus more talkative.
