the article's technically incorrect anyway. Gwyn's not ahead of the times. 9 years ago my mate was recommended she have guinness whilst pregnant' date=' as she had previously had problems with anaemia, and it was one of the easiest natural ways of boosting her iron levels. I think she was allowed half a pint every so often.[/quote']

 

yup. its not as if she was drinking vodka or rum, then she would be killing future baby martin. it was just a beer, so it her case was healthy as said, to boost her iron levels. wine and beer arent SO dangerous while being pregnant.

 

media. blah. :angry:

POLLO-/PESCO-VEGETARIANS: Pescetarians adhere to a vegetarian diet but also consume fish and seafood, while pollo-vegetarians round out their diets with fowl.

 

LACTO-/OVO-VEGETARIANS: Lacto-vegetarians include dairy products in their diets, while ovo-vegetarians eat eggs in addition to their greens.

 

VEGANS: The "truest" vegetarians, dietary vegans omit all animal products from their diet, including eggs, milk, cheese and honey. Bryan Adams and Alicia Silverstone are some examples.

 

MACROBIOTICS: Loosely based on Chinese medicine, macrobiotic diets eschew all processed foods -- including flours and sweeteners -- in favour of unrefined foods like beans, whole grains, seaweed, certain vegetables and fermented foods (pickles, miso, soy sauce). Think Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and John Travolta, to name a few.

 

 

RAW FOODISTS: Usually vegan, these folks won't eat food with a temperature above 46.7C, claiming the cooking process kills essential enzymes and/or portions of each nutrient. Some warm their food slightly, while others activate enzymes by soaking their food in water before eating. Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson are practitioners.

 

FRUITARIANS: Taking things even further, fruitarians only eat foods that can be gathered without harming the plant (an attitude that typically arises from a holistic approach) and some only eat food that's already fallen off the plant itself. Diets include fruits, nuts and seeds, although some believe fruitarians are more susceptible to malnutrition than other vegetarians.
