It appears I am not the only one that doesn't think very highly of trending dietary fads. The peer pressure seems to be among those choosing gluten-free as the wise, gut-healthy option, making others around them feel less-than if they don't make similar choices. But the other half of the gluten-free push, has been the discovery that farmers spray their crops with glyphosate. This has caused many to avoid gluten like the plague, because they mistakenly blame the gluten instead of the glyphosate. Mercola released an article today that is aimed squarely at parents, but anyone of any age and stage can make use of this information. His article is talking about the health risks that parents inflict on their children when they choose gluten-free without a firm diagnosis. Mercola gives suggestions for how to eat that strengthen the gut, allay fears, and perhaps even allow the gut to handle wheat gluten in time. What passes as healthfood these days, often is either ultra-processed in some fashion, or loaded in heavy metals while skimping or even missing basic necessary nutrients (or as my late mom would say, getting them from the wrong sources, ie: folic acid instead of folate) So consider this one very long introduction to an article I've already saved to my gut-health folder.

And good for Budweiser. MAGA has memories so we don't forget what you've done in the past.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared gold and silver legal tender. HB 999 maintains that these precious metals may be used in payments if they meet specific purity standards. The bill goes into effect on July 1, 2026, but many are confused as to what this will entail. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/north_america/americas-current-economy/gold-and-silver-now-legal-tender-in-florida/

(Kitco News) – Notwithstanding the erroneous news reports which circulated on both sides of the border earlier this week, Canada’s retaliatory tariffs against U.S. precious metals imports – including a 25% surcharge on gold, silver, platinum, and palladium products – have not been lifted or lowered, and remain in effect, according to Canadian government. https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2025-05-21/canadas-tariffs-us-precious-metals-imports-have-not-been-lifted-finance

Canada’s trade surplus with the US jumped to a record at the start of the year, driven by exports of cars, auto parts and oil, separate data from Statistics Canada showed Thursday. For an even clearer picture of the magnitude of the shift in bullion imports, we note that the Swiss trade deficit (where all that bullion is coming from) rocketed higher (an order of magnitude from historical norms)...

There’s Not a Lot of Gold for 8 Billion People That works out to about 30 grams (about one troy ounce), or six gold rings, for every single human being on the planet. https://www.zerohedge.com/precious-metals/how-much-gold-exists-every-person-earth

When we decided to take delivery, what should have been a routine 5-day process turned into a nine-month odyssey of excuses and misdirection. We had strategically contracted to store our silver in Canada’s government mint refinery and storage facility – ironically, the same facility that had been emptied when Canada foolishly sold off all its gold and silver reserves. The vaults were empty, waiting for our silver. https://www.zerohedge.com/precious-metals/silver-squeeze-market-manipulation-coming-storm
