O.k. I'm done.... No more alcohol, cheese, and PB!!!! I decided to have my last revenge with both before C-Day. Actually didn't do bad I just ate some and said enough!
I'm writing the rest of this so when I decide that I want either of the latter two I can refer back to this post.
DANGERS of Cheese:
The most dangerous effect of cheese on the human body comes mainly from fat. Dreon claims that cheeses are a good source of calcium, protein, etc., but most cheeses have a serious flaw—between 65 and 75 percent of their calories are based on the constituent of fat (qtd. in Healthbeat 9). To make matters worse, much of the fat from cheese is of the saturated variety, believed to raise blood cholesterol and increase risk of heart disease (Shockey 22). So even Pariza, who praises the function of cheese as a anti-cancer, cautions that cheese can be a major risk factor in heart disease (qtd. in Raloff 87).
According to American Demographics, the percentage of American adults who have a body weight at least 20 percent greater than desirable, so called obesity, increased from 24 percent in the 1960s to 35 percent in 1994. During that period, even though the consumption of beef went down, Americans have increased their consumption of salty snack foods, which usually contain cheese, and snacking has caused the consumption of sugary soft drinks to increase.
Some cheeses also can be contaminated easily, especially in the case of soft ones. So the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns that a pregnant woman should be aware that certain soft cheeses can become contaminated with bacteria called Listeria, and, if she is sick from Listeria, the baby she is carrying could also get sick or die. Soft cheeses that can easily become contaminated include: several kinds of Mexican-style cheeses, Camembert, Mozzarella, Roquefort, etc.
Not nearly as much bad on PB:
They are loaded with omega-6 fats that distort the omega 3:6 ratio
They are frequently contaminated with a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin
Peanuts are one of the most pesticide-contaminated crops
