> > I eat a few veggies, just not the very healthy, i.e. green ones. I find them so unpalatable if I were out in the wild I would assume they were poison. ;) I think I may be one of those "supertasters" as lots of stuff, like veggies, coffee, beer, taste very unpleasantly bitter to me.
> I'm sorry, sarcastic teasing doesn't often survive the journey through the Internet relay servers.Neither does the lighthearted response sometimes. ;)
> The supertaster problem is very real. I sympathize with you. It may be a stretch, but cream sauces might help. For example, milk or cream added to coffee preferentially binds bitter components....in effect sweetening the brew without sugar. It may help with the veggies, though you'd have to watch the calories. There are also green veggie concentrates available, such as Greens+. I have no idea what they're like, but you would get a good dose of the "missing" phytochemicals.
Yes, I'd like to try those Greens+ products one day, but right now am limiting my supplement spending to essentials. (I don't eat dairy now either, so those cream things are out too.)
> > > The capsules may or may not be equivalent. The word lecithin has both a specific and generic meaning, unfortunately. Some mean it to refer to phosphatidylcholine. Some mean it to refer to phospholipids more generally. And some mean it to refer to "the gunk that's left when soybean oil is refined".

> > Ok, I will get some granules as my capsules are almost gone now anyway.Well, seeing your response to Jan...perhaps I will stick with the capsules, just try taking more of them, as I avoid soy also due to hypothyroid tendencies.
> > Ok, I guess I was still thinking about that choline business per Dr. Walsh. (Choline contraindicated for the undermethylated.)

> Choline is in every meal you eat....restricting intake of a core nutrient is just not feasible. Sometimes those doctors just don't think.Oh, no need to mince words now, Larry. <g>
