That link doesn’t work...or at least safari doesn’t like it. I actually have been using mostly “natural” products, body washes, etc. One even has a big “Vegan” badge on the front, but not sure whether that means it would make vegans happy or it’s made out of vegans. These are amongst the products that have been killing me. Once I stopped using them, many of my issues went away. But the underlying cause hadn’t been identified. Facts remain a stubborn thing (and I even live in the shadow of the beltway, where dogma reigns supreme and facts don’t matter). Skin patch tests show pretty clearly where the problems are and why those products were bad for me. And why things I’ve substituted are working. There are a few more changes to make to resolve the rest. I agree that government food science and recommendations have been largely wrong for decades, but the ACDS isn’t a government run organization, and even if it were I don’t believe that would inherently invalidate it. Science works.

One of my Kickstarter campaigns (and YES, it was a year over schedule, like most Kickstarters - but it did come through in the end!) - a guy making Japanese style knives in Germany. Well, after the very long wait, my knives arrived today - HURRAY! I have to say that they lived up to expectations - gorgeous and are amazing to work with! These will become part of my standard tool set for food preps. The paring knife was amazing cutting razor thin slivers of garlic and onions. The chef's knife has an exaggerated curvature, but it worked really well chopping herbs and veggies. The only last thing will be how well they hold an edge (very sharp right out of the box) and how easy to sharpen once starting to dull.

Ninja Bruce. Hai.

I knew you'd find the cure, snakebite salesmen are the best. And the neighborhood cats get a reprieve. Oh happy day

I know I have been collecting custom made knives for years this is just some of them

I ordered 2 Japanese vegetable cleavers from america’s Test Kitchen they were on sale for $69 apiece down from 95 they sent me two cases of them! Now I have over $800 worth of knives that I have to send back. They were rated the highest vegetable cleaver by ATK (see I’m learning lol). One for my daughter for Christmas and one for me.
