The Lara bars have inspired me. I have a gorp mix which I take whenever we leave the house - instant portable nutrition.

Amazing!

Bread breaks down rapidly into simple carbohydrates which feed "bad" yeasts in the gut and body. The "pathological" yeasts are commonly candida albicans. But simple sugars, not…
