Hi there,

 I would like to make some new friends who are nutrition hobbyists, or
experienced/knowledgeable in the area of healthy eating to learn more about
real life daily cooking and to share recipe information and experience.  Does
anybody here make a good basic Risotto and a good Whole grain bread., also a
cooked vegetable dish?  Tell me how you make these and I'm looking for
recipes that you make on a regular basis, that you know right from memory, or
that have made often.
Thank You.
ps. you can send me a note to my mail box or if you wish you can respond here
or, you can do both.

For nutrition do not look to severely processed foods like breads and
noodles.

Then what to eat? Rice? Rice gets digested so quickly and doesn't give
stable bloo suger, at least not to me.

What if noodle is freshly made and bread is specially made to be rich
in nutrition?

What kind of rice?  White rice is processed to have the bran removed.

Bran removal doesn't have to modify the original food.

Think what happens to produce bread. Wheat is separated from the bran,
ground into flour, bleached with Javex or equivalent, stored in containers
for who knows how long, active yeast and bleached sugar added to it, allowed
to ferment and partially decompose, baked to remove any last vitamin E from
it and produce a nice carcinigeous crust, and then let to go stale before
eating.

Eat it for all your celiac and gluten problems.

Almost every diet know the mankind these days limits or bans bread. It is a
very successful advertising campaign, almost as much as dairy and diamonds.

BTW: It is OK if used in for pizza crust though!

What do you mean?  Removing the bran does remove quite a bit of the
fiber and natural nutrients.

Bran removal does NOT modify the kernel.

Bran is not digestible in humans and cannot provide vitamins, only fibre and
bulk.

Once upon a time, our fellow Pizza Girl

It is called removal of bran.  Just thought that you might want to
know. :)

>Bran is not digestible in humans and cannot provide vitamins, only fibre and

So?  What is your point?

Are you trying to be obnoxious, or are you just stupid?

But fiber does have nutritional value and removal of the bran does
modify the original food.  Here's some additional information.

"Milling is the primary difference between brown and white rice. The
varieties may be identical, but it is in the milling process where brown
rice becomes white rice. Milling, often called "whitening", removes the
outer bran layer of the rice grain."

"What does that do to the rice grain? Does milling affect the
nutritional quality of the rice? The answer to this question is YES.
Milling strips off the bran layer, leaving a core comprised of mostly
carbohydrates. In this bran layer resides nutrients of vital importance
in the diet, making white rice a poor competitor in the nutrition game
The following chart shows the nutritional differences between brown and
white rices. Fiber is dramatically lower in white rice, as are the oils,
most of the B vitamins, and important mineral"
http://www.lundberg.com/brownrice.html

Basically, it looks like you get less fiber, less protein, less thyamin,
less riboflavin, less niacin, less B6, less Folacin, less Vitamin E,
less magnesium, less phosphorus, less selenium and less zinc in white
rice.
