I was under the same impression that only way to separate cream from milk is *before* the milk is homogenised via centrifugation (or more timely traditional methods), and you get left with the cream and skim milk products to sell. But I've emailed the suppliers of the different just-pure cream products you can find on the supermarket shelves over here (there's literally only three or four different brands available) and they all gave the same reply that the cream is homogenised. Perhaps the PR people in charge of customer relations don't actually understand the production process and just send the same stock standard answers to people that all their products are homogenised? Maybe it's law/industry norm over here that cream gets homogenised? Some of the pure cream products are liquid, and therefore very likely watered down as you said (or homogenised I guess), but some of them are actually solid like traditional cream (but don't have thickeners listed in the ingredients - wtf?). I dunno, all very confusing. There is a local small scale organic farm where I live that sells dairy products to the local region that I'm pretty sure isn't homogenised as they like to proudly state on the packaging of their other products that they don't homogenise, but unfortunately their cream product contains carageenan. Australia needs to lift it's cream game :)<br /><br />Ahh well, life goes on.

There are a lot of LC fiberous veggies, most leafy greens contain mostly fiber. I strongly suggest adding rhubarb to a diet. It is very low in carbs, and initially was planted as a medicine remedy for constipation in an Ancient Rome) . I would make it into a souse (cook it, add salt,maybe even sugar substitute, spices,then add garlic and cilantro when cools down). I would also remove cheese from a diet if constipation is a problem.

I did Atkins for 3 years in the early 2000s, lost 60 lbs but through failing to adequately manage the resulting constipation (b/c there really is so little info out there about how to effectively do so without causing additional damage) had on and off diverticulitis attacks that forced me to try and eat "normally" to avoid constipation and finally resulted this year in elective colon resection surgery. I'm happy to say I'm back and doing well but am trying to figure out what eating regimen to take on and the low carb high fat worked well for me. I was happy but the constipation effect did me in. As I contemplate what to do I was wondering if you've run across any literature about LC and constipation. I still have a sluggish colon so I take Miralax daily and if I went low carb I would have to consider psyllium (which I detest). I was taking 400mg of magnesium which worked well until it stopped working - apparently the body builds up a tolerance. <br /><br />Any thoughts you have would be welcome.LC Loyalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381698753734037954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-57294022174783930982013-07-13T18:29:07.394+00:002013-07-13T18:29:07.394+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.LC Loyalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381698753734037954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-28932575039228796692013-06-11T23:15:28.710+00:002013-06-11T23:15:28.710+00:00"You feed egg whites to the chickens?

But we learned from Chris Masterjohn in November 2011 that pork fat is now 32% with independent currently tested data for rodent chow dietary trials. I would not trust that data at all, considering in the case of pork fat pufa it is 200% higher than their data. Yolks are believed to now be much higher. Also the feed will unfortunately not change the pufa of the yolk pufa by much. It would be interesting to know if somebody were able to test it though. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876340163684549578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-9506998164864294942013-06-04T01:23:37.107+00:002013-06-04T01:23:37.107+00:00This resource has egg yolks at 4.5g fat, of which ...This resource has egg yolks at 4.5g fat, of which 1.6 SFA, 2.0 MUFA, 0.7g PUFA.<br />http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/113/2<br />Remember, Peter is feeding his own hens.

Note that in these papers small amounts of high-PUFA oils such as cottonseed oil are usually added to the SFAs to bring the PUFA ratio to 5%. This is also the practice when tallow is used for deep-frying i.e. a mixture of tallow, beef olein (high-MUFA oil extracted from tallow), and cottonseed oil.<br />http://download.journals.elsevierhealth.com/pdfs/journals/0016-5085/PII0016508595903542.pdf<br /><br />And also because trying for a lower intake will restrict the diet too much, both for convenience and nutritional quality.Puddleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953398103675945541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-29310310585478744202013-06-03T01:42:26.470+00:002013-06-03T01:42:26.470+00:00Peter, what is your goal or estimate for PUFA gram...Peter, what is your goal or estimate for PUFA grams/day or % of calories. Independent testing has shown domestic porkfat pufa is 32% pufa http://www.westonaprice.org/blogs/cmasterjohn/2011/11/25/good-lard-bad-lard-what-do-you-get-when-you-cross-a-pig-and-a-coconut/<br />and one would expect the same or possibly higher with chicken fat and thus yolk pufa. A yolk probably conatins 1.0-1.5 grams each. Obviosuly there are many recommending poly-phobia, and saturophilia. But a true saturophile would avoid more than a few egg yolks per day because of the high percent of PUFA correct? Broda Barnes was a true hater of PUFA's and stated..“Everyone should have the privilege of playing Russian Roulette if it is desired, but it is only fair to have the warning that with the use of polyunsaturated fats the gun probably contains live ammunition.” of course there are many others who have recommended serious restriction of pufa such as DR. William E.M. Lands, Dr. Chris Masterjohn, Ray Peat PHD, etc, some targeting as low as 1-2% of calories. Eating a lot of yolks would make low pufa consumption impossible. Is your take on PUFA that higher levels are acceptable?
