Question 1

are beef sweetbreads healthy?

Accepted Answer

No: Sweetbread is the pancreas. First, any beef product is unhealthy. There is no reason to ever eat that. There are many other dining options out there. Second, you increase your fat intake (particularly the pancreas compared to muscle meat), cholesterol, and inflammation, especially if it's not organic, free-roaming, vegetarian-fed (what cows naturally eat).

Question 2

is grassfed beef really better for you?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Just as "you are what you eat" cows are what they eat.Their natural diet is grass. Corn is an unnatural food for them & these days most cows are fed toxic pesticide-laden gmo corn.Corn-fed beef has many unhealthy fats & pesticide residues. Grassfed beef is lower in fat & has a much higher amount of healthy fats like omega 3 fats & cla.I consider grassfed beef to be healthy &regular beef unhealthy!

Question 3

can corn beef cause diabetes?

Accepted Answer

No: Not really. Carbohydrate excess is the main issue with diet.

Question 4

can i carry baby near the microwave?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I see no problems whether you are pregnant and near the microwave or bring a small baby near one.

Question 5

is microwave choclate cake dangerous?

Accepted Answer

All cakes are: Cake is oil + sugar + flour, with little or no fiber, and very little protein. That means cake is dangerous (basically, it's junk food). However, good cakes are delicious, so eating a little every now and then is fine to do. How a cake is made (steamed, baked, microwaved, etc...) doesn't add any danger to the cake, but frying it (as in donuts or fried twinkies) adds even more oil to the cake!

Question 6

what component of beef aids in vision?

Accepted Answer

Beef and eye: Collagen. Used in plastic surgery around the eye as well as corneal cross linking surgery.

Question 7

can i use the microwave to warm formula?

Accepted Answer

No: You should not warm formula in the microwave since the microwave can make hot spots inside the formula that you may not feel until it burns your baby's mouth.  Better to warm them in a pan of hot water or running hot water.

Question 8

is daily eating beef meat bad for health?

Accepted Answer

In moderation: As with all things in life... do everything in moderation. Beef is fine, but that depends on how much beef one eats over time. For example, 4 ounces of beef every day is fine. But, 40 ounces of beef every day is an abnormally huge amount. Life is about balance. Balance is what matters.

Question 9

which fat is better for helath (pork vs. beef)?

Accepted Answer

Lean pork: Meaning not pork sausage.

Question 10

is it good to eat microwave heat food everyday?

Accepted Answer

It depends:: Don't eat microwaved butter popcorn. When microwaved it produces the poison gas phosgene. Some people eating 3-4 bags a day developed advanced lung disease. Avoid microwaving in plastic containers, even those labeled "safe". Microwaving vegetables lightly is fine, but microwaving too long destroys the nutritional content.
