honey & food coloring.
I recently learned that honey contains b-vitamins, magnesium, and calcium.
And then, last night I read about FD & C Yellow No. 5 & Red No. 3.
They're both made from coal tar.

magnesium and my current diet
http://www.ithyroid.com/magnesium.htm
It's always good to find more information on magnesium. It opens up new doors.
I recently discovered a store in Gadsden that sells gluten-free products. They also sell organic dairy products.. etc.
Upon obtaining a place of workage, my dietary habits that were working so well (esp gluten-free) eventually went away, due to extreme hunger issues. When I started eating gluten again, even if it was just once a day, I didn't notice an extreme affect on my moods in the way that I noticed it when I first went on the diet. Over time, though, I know that the gluten built up inside of me (this is between now and Jan. 26), because I went through a period of being unable to eat very much at one time, or in one day..
I realize that I'm only under the stress that gluten causes within me, not stress that is actually really there. (does gluten=stress?)

good stuff.
I figured out recently that the main b-vitamin that I am low on is B2. You need that vitamin to help make all the other b-vitamins you intake work.. or something. Anyway, so recently I had a strong craving for asparagus and it is a relatively good source of b2. the other good choices that i have are venison and eventually, I will buy more crimini mushrooms.
bread is the normal person's main source of b2, so it makes sense that i'd have difficulty getting it. spinach has some b2 in it, too.
I read an article on msn that says that music may be able to help those with alzheimer's and via that page I went to "10 surprising things that affect your memory".... - "Of 700 elderly Indonesians, those who ate tofu at least once a day had an increased risk of dementia or memory loss, particularly if they were over age 65. Researchers believe the link might be due to soy products' phytoestrogens, which may offer some neural benefits to the middle-aged and young but could harm those over 65."
PROOF THAT SOY IS NOT A GOOD THING TO EAT. i hate the phytoestrogens in soy.

green beans.
taken from the entry for green beans on whfoods.com:
"Green beans are a good source of riboflavin, which has been shown to help reduce the frequency of migraine attacks in people who suffer from them. Riboflavin's protective role in energy production may explain why. The oxygen-containing molecules the body uses to produce energy can be highly reactive and can inadvertently cause damage the mitochondria and even the cells themselves. In the mitochondria, such damage is largely prevented by a small, protein-like molecule called glutathione. Like many "antioxidant" molecules, glutathione must be constantly recycled, and it is vitamin B2 that allows this recycling to take place. (Technically, vitamin B2 is a cofactor for the enzyme glutathione reductase that reduces the oxidized form of glutathione back to its reduced version.) A cup of green beans supplies 7.1% of the DV for riboflavin."
I remember learning about mitochondria when I was in high school.
