Hey Bo,
I've fine tuned Dairy a little bit. Read over Oxajil's link and added a small bit about osteoporosis and opioids. I'm going to start on GMO foods tonight or tomorrow, so I should have it complete by the weekend too.
awesome ! * high five! *
I finished the gluten part as well.
Episode - Gluten. [any feedback to it are welcome]
[showing different footages of people eating products containing gluten – max 15 sec.]
[the following is combined with article footage(sources) and videos.]
Eating a nice dark, crunchy slice of whole wheat bread--how could that be bad for you?
In case you didn’t know, bread contains gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, and oats. It is hidden in pizza, pasta, bread, wraps, rolls, and most processed foods. Clearly, gluten is a staple of the American diet.
‘’In the 1920s, the US government found that animals fed a diet of white flour developed serious neurological diseases and died. Instead of banning this deadly product like they should have, the FDA declared that most white flour products must be "enriched" with iron and a few vitamins to "correct" the problem. Unfortunately, this decision has helped create an even more insidious situation that results in diabetes, heart disease and cancer for millions of people. ‘’
''gluten can inflame the brain by causing an autoimmune response. Autoimmunity is an abnormal response to the body's own tissues. In other words, something comes into the body and the body goes on alert but somehow mistakes its own tissues as a foreign invader and declares war mistakenly upon itself. Allergies are a prime example. In this case, antibodies meant to fight gluten also attack your body.
Secondly, during the digestion process, gluten can be broken down into into strange proteins that are a lot like psychedelic drugs. These are opium-like proteins called gluteomorophins. As you can probably imagine, these can drastically change brain function and behavior.''
Did you also know that there are 55 diseases that can be caused by eating gluten listed in a review in the New England Journal of Medicine. Some of these symptoms are: arthritis, ADHD, depression, anxiety, IBS, lupus, frequent headaches, fatigue, eczema, loss of muscle coordination, osteoporosis, a weakened immune system, fungal overgrowth, organ inflammation, weight loss/weight gain, and malnutrition.’’
So what most people don't know is that gluten can cause serious health complications for many. You may be at risk even if you don't have full blown celiac disease. What celiac disease exactly is, is something we will discuss in depth at a later episode.
From all the data that we can read it is very clear to us that Gluten affects everyone negatively, some might not even be aware of it and the symptoms might show up years later.
So being gluten-free is a lifestyle choice for health of body and mind. If we choose a gluten-free lifestyle for obvious health reasons, we are intentionally avoiding trouble both now and in the future.
So what can we use as an alternative for gluten?
As an alternative we can use buckwheat. For the time being this is a good replacement for gluten, just make sure it is gluten free. With buckwheat you can create delicious crepes and bilinis which can easily replace bread. You can check out the recipes for it on a thread here http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,12952.0.html.
You can find these products by checking out local organic stores near your place or order them online. It's also important to remember that our body has become very addicted to gluten and that we need be persistent and patient in letting our body be able to heal it self.
In Season 2 we will be providing a more in depth guideline on the best ways to start a healthy diet. However for now it is important to understand the basics about what you are actually eating.

Do you think mentioning quickly that most gluten-free foods actually have trace amounts of gluten in it, but it's more a matter of PPM why they aren't labelled as such. And probably sticking to whole foods that don't go through any kind of manufacturing process is a much safer bet to anything manufactured and that comes in a box.
Just a suggestion.

Here's a suggestion on clips to perhaps use and look for
A drawn or simple 3d modelled character could be developed for the series, to intermittently illustrate body effects and emotional points.

Bo said:Hi Turgon wanted to let you know, I am delayed on the Soy & Corn. I will have it up here by wednesday. How are you doing on GMO foods?
No worries! I didn't get an opportunity to actually start writing until today. I added a few bits about conventionally grown and organic foods as well to compare it to GMO. Wondering if an episode on the benefits of organically grown might be better
Thanks for bringing that up, Parallel. Was wondering how the actual creation of the episodes are going to happen. I basically just read articles and watched a lot of videos on the topic I'm writing about and then type away. But I came across clips, pictures and articles that might illustrate the points along with the narratives.
Should we start collecting a database of images, articles and clips?

Thanks Parallel, great suggestions!, when we start with the production of the videos we can experiment a bit first with different styles and see what is possible within our abilities and what not and then choose a nice one.
Looks good! We can add such an episode in season 2 combining it with other stuff.
Yeah, best to do that. I have also already made a start on certain collections of articles, clips, images, 3d models etc for the articles I wrote. Maybe put everything you find that is relevant(the sources) in a word file. So that when we start with the production of the videos we have easy access to it.

The episode Soy & Corn is done.
Soy & Corn
[as always combining it with stock footage/sources etc.]
soy has been eaten for hundreds of years in the far east in its fermented forms of tempe and miso, since these fermented forms are the only forms suitable for human consumption, though they are not ideal. Soy has however become recently very popular among the public in western society(particulary tofu, soy milk and soy protein isolate). It was around 1990’s that Soy exploded into supermarkets and later glamourized many times as the ‘’new miracle food’’ as it became the newest addition to the human diet.
But is it really a ‘’miracle food’’?
In case you didn’t know, Soy is the second most genetically modified crop following corn. And looking at the previous episode on how dangerous GMO products are, you can start to imagine what kind of ‘’miracle food’’ we are talking about here.
With 95% of all soy crops being genetically modified, not only are you receiving genetically defiled food, but food saturated with pesticides.
Soy has high levels of phytic acid(the highest of all grains or legume) and what this does is that it reduces the assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc. Soy foods also contain high levels of aluminium, which is toxic to the nervous system and kidneys.
Just look at this summary of the dangers of soy.
[show a summary of all dangers of soy - 10/15 seconds should be enough]
Yes, quite the ‘’miracle food’’ indeed….but what about all the so called ‘’scientifically proven benefits of soy.’’ Remember that these kind of studies are largely funded and promoted by the multibillion-dollar, multinanational soy industry.
It is only when we look objectively that we can easily see that soy should be avoided at all times. Even this is a difficult task since soy is currently to be found in pretty much everything. Including hamburgers, mac 'n cheese and salad dressings.
Oh and by the way..did I mention that soy also contains gluten? Yes it does. Soy can be subject to gluten cross-contamination, since soybeans are commonly grown in rotation with wheat crops. Just because less than 20 parts per million of gluten generally is considered "gluten-free," doesn't mean that it magically is ''gluten free''.
Just like soy, corn(maize) is also one of those products that should be avoided and not to forget that it is the single most genetically modified crop there is(That’s a hint right there). Can you remember when we talked about gluten in one of the first episodes?
In plain and simple words, corn is a grain. Corn has gluten. And yet there are people who believe that corn gluten does not cause damage the same way that wheat, barley, and rye do.
So corn has been many times advised for people who are sensitive to gluten, and that while considering that multiple studies have showed quite the opposite. Quite strange ay?
Here is a short summary of why you should avoid corn
[shows a summary of the dangers of corn – 10/15 sec should be enough]
‘’Many consumers bow to the alter of "Gluten Free" packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. "Gluten Free" on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.’’ So every time you go shopping be aware of the products you are buying, stick to whole foods and stick with grass fed meats. As an alternative you can for the time being use buckwheat as was told in a previous episode.

Shall we refine the first 5 episodes turgon? and then proceed , or do you think it's a better idea if we first create the first 5 videos in order to create that ''vibe'' for ourselves. But upload them privately and only start releasing the episodes once a week when the entire season is done.

Just a note that this isn't actually true. Soy has been eaten for hundreds of years in the far east in its fermented forms of tempe and miso. Of course, that doesn't make it good food, but you don't want to start off your segment with something that is factually inaccurate.

Hmmm thanks Anart, I had it from Primal Body, Primal Mind page 49 ;
''Soy has been considered unfit for human consumption since ancient times, but chemical processing methods created by corporate interests have created an all ''new soy'', purported to be the cornerstone of health and longetivity''
Edit: I changed it to what you said ''Soy has been eaten for hundreds of years in the far east in its fermented forms of tempe and miso''.

Perhaps it would help the segment you're trying to write to go with something like, "soy has been eaten for hundreds of years in the far east in its fermented forms of tempe and miso, since these fermented forms are the only forms suitable for human consumption, though they are not ideal." Something like that. The point is that soy is only consumable if it is fermented (and then it's really only borderline consumable from what I understand). No idea why Gedgaudus left out the fermented forms, but they do exist.
