@fakei , most of the Indians, a day will not run without Onions, people with gastric problems may have to watch otherwise its one of the common foods and not implied to any serious side effects.
Garlic, some people use as food and everyone use as medicine for various health problems. Balanced use certainly helps I believe. I use it for cholesterol control.
@Lou, if one buys raw wheat and then use it as it is in milling without losing cover, in short "whole wheat" thats good I think. But exceptions are there as world is slowly becoming sensitive to wheat for many reasons because all are using "bleached" wheat , which is totally worthless, unhealthy, disease guaranteed food.....as per my understanding
All vegetables and fruits are welcome, Low GI are most welcome , others to be used "Try and Test" approach as every "Body" is different". we have to experiment on ourselves to know what is best for us.
But thank you for putting forward your points. Let me know if you both have further suggestions.
