And not the canned or boxed stuff, but the real thing: broth made from actual chicken bits. Should you worry? Second, do cooked and cooled potatoes really make the carbs less problematic for people who typically try to avoid them? How and why should people who otherwise avoid potatoes consider eating cooked and cooled ones? And finally, do I have any good, simple strategies for dealing with stress? Why yes, yes I do. Let’s go: Is anyone concerned about the amount of lead in bone broth? I love bone broth, but now wondering… http://ift.tt/1E6W31X I’m not too worried. That study had some limitations, which the Weston A Price Foundation covered pretty well . Ignore the meandering quasi-conspiratorial tangents and focus on the relevant points.
