I use sorghum as part of my multigrain porridge. Barley, oats, rye, mixed millets, red/yellow lentils and sorghum. It's good 'sweet' (flax, walnuts, berries, plant milk) or savory (turmeric, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, nigella, flax).

@dianeladico1769 10 месяцев назад

@@DryRoastedLemon I mix the dried grains in equal amounts in a big bowl and store 1c of the dried mix in half pint jars (I LOVE my jars). To cook, I pour a jar into the Instant pot (love that, too), rinse really well, add 4c of water, seal and hit the 'porridge' button. Let it have a 10 minute natural release. Leftovers store well but it sets up thick so I use more plant milk when reheating. I'm fortunate to live near an Indian grocery store so I get different millets (proso, foxtail, little, finger and barnyard) and mix those together for the millet portion but I've just used proso and it's fine. They also have a dal blend of the lighter ones (not like brown or green lentils) so that's the lentil portion. They cook a little faster so they break down and it adds a creaminess to the porridge. Oh, I forgot, to each bowl of cooked porridge I add 1/2 of white beans (canned or homemade plain) for both the sweet and savory. Keeps me full for a good bit. Hope this helps.

You can find red Milo at the feed store at about $22 a 50lb bag. From what I understand, it's about the same regulatory guidelines as human food. Just as loaded with poisons but...

you did not find other sorghums because (at least) indians consider better varieties as superfoods as per traditional beliefs ... in fact they have tradition to eat while unripe and when ripe too ... unripe is roasted like corns on cob are roasted on open fires and shared with friends and family and just about any random visitor to house and according to traditional beliefs is considered as a "meva" food ... word meva is used for superfoods in india and all local languages have a local synonym for such words

@viveviveka2651 10 месяцев назад

8:34 "Which is a good thing in the age of epidemic obesity": This is a potentially misleading overgeneralization, and is a common misleading fallacy in the nutrition world. It's not a good thing for many individuals. For most obese people, probably yes; but for many of us, not at all. Generalizations from studies that apply to large populations often get misrepresented as applicable to the receiver of the information. But population studies often do not apply at all to the individual listener or receiver of the information - the generalized conclusion doesn't apply to many individuals in a population. This type of fallacy is very common in the nutrition space.

@tamcon72 10 месяцев назад

In the west, many people are significantly overweight, including children, to a degree that has been clinically shown to be disadvantageous to health; this is not a controversial statement and it isn't a fallacy. Further, making generalizations is valid when talking about statistics.

@viveviveka2651 10 месяцев назад

@@tamcon72 No, the generalizations do not apply to many individuals - in some cases, most individuals. In California, for example, the public health policies are such that anything causing one extra early death in a million people (per year) is deemed worthy of taking action about. Why? Because it "saves" lives, or prevents about forty early deaths per year (because the current population of California is about forty million people). On the level of a large population, this makes sense. For public health officials, this kind of thinking makes sense. But does it really make sense for a given individual listener if there is a 99.9999% chance that it does not apply at all in their individual case?

@viveviveka2651 10 месяцев назад

Two specific examples might help in making it clearer: (1) Arsenic levels in tap water. (2) Incorporating sorghum into my diet. I spent many hours researching and analyzing the data, history and policies (in California) in relation to arsenic in drinking water. I had long discussions with someone who is in charge of managing a municipal water supply. Much of the information can be found online, more from experts and toxicologists. The main takeaway: there are multiple fallacies going on, and much non-critical and misleading thinking. In the case of sorghum: After listening to this video, the immediate takeaway and tendency (or the perceived message) is that including sorghum in one's diet is a good idea. I even searched for sources and made some phone calls. But when I stepped back and questioned it, and did a little more critical thinking on the subject, it is not clear _AT ALL_ that this would do any good whatsoever, for a variety of reasons. The exact same thing is true of the vast majority of nutrition advice and information I see - for foods, vitamins and supplements, water, etc. I already have a very healthy diet and lifestyle. None of this information and advice is helping at all. It is not worth taking action or worrying about or spending time on. It does not apply to me at all. And yet it is presented as if it applies to me and is important to me, when it is not.

@viveviveka2651 10 месяцев назад

The underlying message, throughout most of the nutrition-information space, or nutrition-advice space, is that what they are presenting is important or worthwhile. Incorporating their advice would have benefits (or even "INSANE BENEFITS," as a certain Gundry says it in his videos). But the benefits just are not there, they aren't real. In many cases (mine and many others') they do not apply at all. Not only that, but the worry, trouble, money, energy, time, and - importantly - opportunity costs can make the net result actually harmful. Less than zero.
