What is "meat glue" and how did it get to be that it's now being used in thousands of food products? The truth is that meat glue (transglutaminase) doesn't even need to appear on the food label of some of your (or children's) favorite foods… And, to make matters worse restaurants don't need to declare when they've added it to the foods you have ordered… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1677 I'...

Is there a deeper reason why? Is it genetic? Do we actually need it to survive?

In my opinion debates about whether protein requirements should be .8g/kg vs 1g/kg are not really moving this industry forward… What we need to be talking about is general needs for the majority of people and where they should be sourcing their protein… And, another topic that should be brought up more often is the chronic protein deficiency (or surplus) in a diet versus a once and awhile occurren...

With all the advancements in modern medicine, both natural and conventional, we oftentimes overlook practices that cultures have been following for centuries… If we look back at these practices we can learn from a culture that has the largest population of people that live to 100 years or more.

I don't know about you, but sometimes it seems like the health industry tries to "force" things to work… Meaning, they will selectively cherry-pick the few studies that back up their point, or exclaim how much it has made a difference in their personal life… While this is interesting to listen to, it's not necessarily advice you may want to follow… The reason is that it most likely does not pass t...
