Show notes

: Episode 758 - Vinnie & Anna talk about about psyllium husks, sugar in bacon, Anna's homemade ranch dressing, feeding Skittles to cattle and more! PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Green Grocer PSYLLIUM HUSKS A listener asked about this in smoothies Psyllium husks hurt your gut bacteria Also will make you bloated We used to throw this away as byproduct, but somehow people found a way to market it It does not do what is says it will do - it is a scam If you need to process something to make it edible/consumable, it is likely bad for you Consuming this is like taking the shell off of a peanut and putting it in a drink TLDR: DON'T consume!!! SUGAR AND BACON Often, companies will add sugar to bacon or sausages Cheaper brands will do this more regularly Brown sugar, maple bacon, all of this is bad for you Look for PLAIN BACON ANNA'S RANCH DRESSING Anna uses 1/2 a cup of whole milk and 1/2 of a lemon's worth of lemon juice = buttermilk Make your mayo at home if possible (don't use mayo with canola oil, if possible) Whisk all of that together with dill, parsley, other herbs 1/2 a tsp of onion and garlic powder each A teaspoon of salt and pepper Let it congeal in the fridge for around an hour Whisk again, and enjoy!
