The second starter pack of smaller CowsEatGrass articles.

This collection brings together another set of shorter articles on sugar, stress, metabolism, gelatin, calcium, behaviour, cancer, aspirin, fish oil, vegetables, and the many ways mainstream health advice can miss the bigger picture.

Instead of blaming one food, one symptom, or one number in isolation, these articles look at how stress, thyroid function, digestion, PUFA, inflammation, hormones, blood sugar, and energy production all connect.

Inside you’ll find articles on:

• Gelatin, glycine, amino acids, and recovery

• Calcium, sugar, bones, and metabolism

• Behaviour, stress biology, and why it is not always “just you”

• Sugar, cancer, and the problem with blaming the wrong thing

• Aspirin, inflammation, and blood sugar

• Stressful thoughts, sugar, and metabolism

• A logical argument for sugar

• Fish oil, vegetable moderation, and nutrition confusion

This is a good follow-up to the first starter pack, or a shorter entry point into the CowsEatGrass library if you want a mix of practical, unusual, and challenging ideas without starting with one of the larger books.

A collection for people tired of simple blame stories and ready to ask a better question:
