Eat like a Brasilian!!!!

Lutach, did she go into anaphylaxis? It doesn't sound like she did...

I've got no real experience will allergies but I'm sure I've read that you can have a latent allergy that may flare up at times without warning or it may also be the peanut concentrations in Pacoca is lower than Snickers??

No she didn't. The peanut concentration in a single Pacoca that she loves to eat is more then the little bite she took from the Snickers bar. Picture this, that round box comes in 2 sizes. I usually buy the one with double the amount of Pacoquinha, mainly because I love that stuff and one day I couldn't find the box. Comes to find out she hid it and ate half in less then half an hour. She did get a stomach ache, but that was it and it passed after she did #2 and no allergic reaction. The thing is, before I came to the US I never heard of a few things like: Flu (I got the Flu for the first time when I took the vaccines for school here in the US), allergies (Only seen it with my daughter) and Autism.

That's very interesting. With all the garbage we consume that has been genetically modified/sprayed with poison/processed I have no trouble believing that there may be a fundamental difference between a Brazilian peanut and an American peanut. If you've done any research into the chemical slurry that passes for food here, you know that most of it isn't fit for a lab rat. Much of the G.M. foods have very little 'beta testing' before they are FORCED onto the market. Google 'Olestra' for a wonderful example.

I have heard and read many times that people who had never been sick became critically ill after a jab. There is a video on YT of a girl who developed a severe muscle condition after taking the first part of the swine flu vaccine. Many thought it was a hoax, but it did gain national media attention. They want to make this shit mandatory. Not just the shots we get as children, but every shot there is.

Too many people still put their faith 100% in the medical industry blindly.

On the other hand if you want to eat 'organic' (still can't believe there needs to be a category for REAL food) it can be costly and hard to find. Who is it that wants us to be in bad health all the time? Maybe the industry that stands to gain the most from it.

Even growing your own "real" food has become almost impossible. How do you know what you're getting for seeds? We've all become ignorant participants in this experiment, and there will be real consequences. We won't have much idea what we are doing to ourselves until it's way too late I'm afraid.

I have to agree with everything you said. This summer though, I did manage to find some real good seeds and grew my own stuff like tomatoes, peppers, beans and many herbs (Not the smoking type ). The taste brought me back to the goodness of the food I used to eat in Brasil. I'm going to get some info and when I do, I'm going to show it to all of us and hopefully it'll change just a bit on how we all look at things we put in our bodies.

I would punt on her not being allergic to the nuts but something else. You don't know what goes into junkfood these days.... or baby milk, do you remember a while back the babies in china that were having problems and dying. It was melomine, the stuff they use as bench tops. It was very close to the protien in the milk so the company cut corners to save money.

That same melomine is in the white part of the snickers bar. When you go into it there is so much shit to beware and steer clear of. I hope people in general start taking more informed action to weed out these black-hearted companies. There are many things I won't eat any more ie snickers, and my much loved tim tams.
