9 films that had the guts to kill off Shah Rukh Khan Akshay Kumar Shraddha Kapoor early on!

What if you went to watch a movie starring Shah Rukh Khan only to find that the movie kills your fave movie star early on? What will be your reaction then? Shocked? Angry? A few years ago, I watched this Hollywood actioner called Executive Decision, a typical ’90s thriller that starred Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal. Now this movie is more known for killing off one of its main heroes within 40 minutes of the start of the movie. Poor Steven Seagal, one of the more popular action stars in the ’90s, was killed even before he could take on one villain. Then there is Drew Barrymore, who gets killed within 15 minutes of the start of the first Scream movie, even though she was the most popular name in the cast.

And it’s not just Hollywood movies. Bollywood movies, who loves their heroes and want to keep them alive as much as they, can also sometimes surprise us by killing of a major star, yes sometimes even Shah Rukh Khan, on whom perhaps the entire movie has been entirely promoted on. Here are 9 such movies that had the guts to kill one of its leads very early.

Bobby Deol in Players

Bobby-Deol-in-Players

In this bland remake of American heist thriller, Bobby Deol’s character of a magician and a single das, a member of Abhishek Bachchan’s rag tag team, was a character purely created for the remake. His face was also plastered all over along with the other stars in the movie during the promotions. It’s only during the interval that we realise why his character was created – he gets killed just then, when one of his team (Neil Nitin Mukesh) double crosses. His death was supposed to give more emotional edge to the team later revenge actions.

Akshay Kumar in Family: Ties of Blood

family9_10x7

After getting a lot of praise for his performance in Khakee, Akshay Kumar was again roped in by Rajkumar Santoshi to be one of the leads in his next, and he was in prominence along with Amitabh Bachchan during the promotions. Unfortunately for his fans, Akshay Kumar gets killed mid-point, giving the opportunity of Aryeman Ramsay to play the hero of the film. Well, if your dad is the main investor, you can be the main hero while riding on the names of the others. Needless to say the film tanked!

Shilpa Shetty in Baazigar

10-1441885590-2

Shilpa Shetty and Kajol were promoted as the heroines of this Abbas Mustan thriller giving us the idea of a love triangle involving Shah Rukh Khan. However when SRK shockingly pushes Shilpa Shetty from a rooftop to her death down, it was a moment that no one will ever forget. Poor Shilpa Shetty, this was supposed to be her debut film.

Shah Rukh Khan in Dushman Duniya Ka

Dushman_Duniya_Ka_1996_DVDRip_By_tamercome008

After killing of Shilpa Shetty in the previous film, Shah Rukh Khan has to get his comeuppance, right? So there is Mehmood-directed Dushman Duniya Ka, whose posters had both SRK and Salman Khan featured prominently even though both had cameos in the film. On top of it, Shah Rukh Khan, dressed for some reason as Mehmood from Gumnaam, gets killed within the first fifteen minutes of the film.

Paresh Rawal in Aan: Men at Work

hqdefault

Paresh Rawal was on a roll in the mid ‘2000s after his successful comic turns in Hera Pheri, Hungama and Awara Pagal Deewana. So it was not wrong on the part of the marketing team of this Madhur Bhandarkar cop drama to feature Paresh Rawal along with the movie’s other leads – Akshay Kumar, Suneil Shetty and Shatrughan Sinha. So it was shocking to see when the funnyman gets killed so early during an encounter scene, suddenly making the film so serious.

Sanjay Kapoor in Shakti The Power

If you have observed the trailer carefully, you would know that Sanjay Kapoor’s character in the movie is not gonna last long. However, if you had been more obsessed by the romantic track, Hum Tum Mile in the movie, you would have been shocked to see the actor getting killed so early in the movie, even though he was poised as the hero to Karisma Kapoor, triggering the main plot. And just when you nearly overcome the shock of his death, comes the death of the real reason why you even try watching this brutal shocking drama – Shah Rukh Khan.

Suneil Shetty in Qayamat

full-cast-of-qayamat-city-under-threat-actors-and-actresses-u1

In this Bollywood remake of the Sean Connery – Nicholas Cage thriller, Suneil Shetty, a major Bollywood star once before his semi-retirement, took on the role played by Michael Biehn, of an army commando out to catch two terrorists using Ajay Devgn’s depressed (or drugged, I really can’t make out) ex-convict. And like Biehn’s character in the original, even Suneil Shetty’s doesn’t have the opportunity to survive the interval point.

Abhishek Bachchan in Shootout at Lokhandwala

shootout-2007-9b

Even though Sanjay Dutt and Vivek Oberoi were the main leads in the film, Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan were also featured prominently in the posters, even though they had just cameos in the film. Abhishek’s case is sadder, since his character is involved in a subplot that has nothing to do with the main plot, and he doesn’t even survive that five minutes allocated to him.

John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan in Saat Khoon Maaf

lnTQctJcTVLr7pQsrO48BQ4VKbD

Yes, we knew beforehand that Priyanka Chopra was going to kill all her husbands in the movie, but it was still shocking to see three big stars, Neil Nitin Mukesh (yes, he was then…), John Abraham and Irrfan Khan, not surviving the first half of the film, while debutant Vivaan Shah turns out to be the lone survivor.

Shraddha Kapoor in Ek Villain

shraddha-kapoor-latest-photos-from-ek-villian-movie-7985

If you had not seen the original Korean gory crime thriller, I Saw The Devil, I bet you would have been shocked to see Shraddha Kapoor getting killed in the start of the film itself by a surprisingly creepy Riteish Deshmukh.

19th Birthday Post My Favourite Films About Growing Up That I Watched While Growing Up

This is a really dark birthday candle picture but I think its pretty and theres no 19th birthday photos anyway

Hi, I know, two posts in one week...damn the world must be headed for an apocalypse or something. Rather, it is my 19th birthday tomorrow. Which is interesting because I feel absolutely no excitement for this new age because it doesnt really mean anything. It is like being 17 - that awkward gap between sweet 16 and the big 18. So when it came time for me to think about doing a birthday post, I really didnt have anything to draw on because theres no such thing as R19 movies here (although there probably would be, considering that New Zealands rating system is just ridiculous) and Ive already "grown up" since I have to pay full adult price for everything now.

Seriously, it sucks having to draw my attention away from the kids menu at restaurants because Im an adult so I have to get steak.

In my thinking, though, I came to the realisation that even though 19 isnt a particularly special milestone age, this is the first birthday in my "new life", you could say. Gone are the days of growing up in a small town, since now Ive lived in Christchurch for over six months and passed my first semester of university. I no longer have to go grocery shopping with mum but I can buy chocolate whenever I want which is honestly the best part of growing up. Oh, and did I mention that I have a cinema five minutes bus ride away, with three others within a half an hour radius? If thats not cool, then I dont know what is.

In a way, 19 is a pretty important age to be. Whereas 18 is the age where you get slapped with the label "grown up", whether youre ready or not, by the time youre 19 youve done a spectacular amount of growing up. Well, I guess thats just how I feel now since a lot has changed since I turned 18 (I say this every year, but I could probably say now that just about every aspect of my life is so different from what it was last year). In celebration of that fact, heres a whole lot of films that taught me a bit about growing up while I was growing up. Dont expect John Hughes films (dont get me wrong, they had their influence), but more a bunch of films that came out at vital times in my life and gave me a bit of perspective. And yeah, things get mushy.

An Education - Earlier this year I outlined my intense love for this film, mainly because it shows the struggles of living up to unreasonable expectations in every way possible. Ive always found myself to be a little bit of a Jenny, trying my best to do things that I dont really care for, working hard but hoping that therell be a little bit of fun around the corner, and maybe being a little too pretentious for my age (now Im grown up and living with a whole lot of engineers, Im just known as the weird Arts degree student). Just as the title suggests, it has always been a film that I go back to get an education, whether it be about getting a "real" education or an education from "the university of life".

500 Days of Summer - Just because it gives you a lot of perspective on idealising and relying on other people to make you happy. And relationship stuff. And that expectations/reality scene still hurts me to this very day. Also, it spurred my five year long crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt who is one of my favourite human beings on the planet and who inadvertently taught me how to be a better person. So I guess that counts as growing up also, doesnt it?

Cemetery Junction - This is an extremely underrated and underseen film, but one Ive held dear to my heart since I first gave it a blind watch in late 2010. Most of the reason why I connected with it so well (and pretty much whoever else I showed it to) was the fact that I lived in a place very similar to Cemetery Junction, where people very comfortably exist and dont really know whats going on outside of the town. Its something that Ive always hated and found most gratifying when I got out of Dannevirke, because the idea of making do with what little is there and existing is not one that Ive ever really enjoyed. Yet, the strange thing is that the people I grew up with became the new generation of people who could help Dannevirke be a better place, but we all left because we were so over it. And thats what Cemetery Junction is effectively about - those who outgrow their surroundings and what theyve always done, vs those who are far too comfortable with it. Of course, this is a film by Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais so theres a bit of off-humour in there, but this film deserves a lot more credit than it ever got.

Young Adult - This film isnt so much about growing up as it is about those who never grow up. Even though it never sets foot in a high school, it is just as much about high school as something like, say, Mean Girls. Mavis Gary may be somewhat successful, but everything she is about is all about who she was in high school. And that kind of fascinates me, since high school was generally a pretty okay time for me but you cant really apply any of the social things you learned at high school to real life. Basically - I dont wanna turn out like Mavis Gary. But shes a fascinating character nonetheless.

Before Sunrise/Before Sunset/Before Midnight - Basically because this film has given me a lot of conversations which I hope to have in the future. It isnt really about growing up, but more about living, and it is beautiful.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Obviously this was going to make the list. The Perks of Being a Wallflower was my go to movie last year. Through all of the good times and the tough times, it was always there. It was kind of a perfect film to have around when I was doing my final year of high school since most of it was about those final days (even if it was through the eyes of a junior) and those moments that make you alive as a teenager. Even at the risk of sounding like a little oversaturated Tumblr kid, the teenage years are the time to feel infinite. I kind of miss that feeling already.

The Spectacular Now - Just as The Perks of Being a Wallflower was there for my final high school year, The Spectacular Now came into my life right at the very end. It was just one of those movies that came along at a perfect time. As Ive said before, I am Aimee and that scares me a lot but it has comforted me a little bit through some trying times. Thats the real beauty of film in general - when you find a movie that you really connect with, theyre the best at giving you advice on life because someone is actually thinking like you. Plus, Im not gonna lie, but the final days of high school are actually pretty terrifying when youre not entirely sure of what you wanna do and you just wanna live in the "now". Even though pretty much everything is based on how well you do as a teenager, it is the time when you wanna live in the "now". The Spectacular Now is a pretty sad deconstruction of that, but itll probably be the film I go back to in order to live these formative years.

Boyhood - I realise that I only just saw this last week, but the bottom line is: this film is actually like watching my childhood unfold because the course of the film runs parallel to the time which I grew up in. Also, I love this film a lot. Thats really all I can say.

What were the films that told you about growing up? Any thoughts on being 19?

6 Signs That Youve Made It To Middle Class

In the August 27, 2010 Investopedia.com article "6 Signs That Youve Made It To Middle Class," James E. McWhinney says you are middle-class if you (1) own a home, (2) own a car, (3) send your children to college, (4) save money for retirement, (5) have health care coverage, and (6) have enough income for family vacations.

Not so long ago, most people viewed the hallmarks of success as something along the lines of a house, a white picket fence, two weeks vacation, two children and the ability to send those kids to college. Today, the middle class is a vanishing breed according to nearly every survey and statistic on the topic. Its disappearance is of such grave concern to the fabric of American society that the U.S. government launched a task force to explore the issue. Despite all of the attention to the subject, defining "middle class" remains a challenge, as everyone wants to be in the middle regardless of their income. Instead of focusing on the dollars, lets take a look at the lifestyle benchmarks that define middle class status.

Have You Made it to the Middle?
A wide variety of numbers have been thrown around in an effort to define the middle. People earning 20% of the average income and people earning 80% all claim to be part of the middle class. More than a few millionaires make the claim too. While there is no official financial standard, the middle class as defined by the government task force is characterized in terms of six financial aspirations, which we can view as benchmarks.

Home Ownership
Home ownership remains the American dream. The step up from renting to owning signifies prosperity and achievement. With median home prices ranges differing by so much in different cities across the United States, the ability to achieve this goal varies significantly by geographical location. Someone earning an income in the 50% range in Detroit may not be able to afford even a small house in Los Angeles.

Automobile Ownership
Owning an automobile provides freedom of movement and the luxury of avoiding the limited schedules and cramped quarters offered by mass transportation options such as buses and subways. Here again, the cost of cars varying widely, as does the kind of automobile required. For one driver, a used Hyundai will do the trick. For another, a new BMW signifies the achievement of this goal.

A College Education for the Kids
Helping children get ahead in life is a primary goal for middle class families. Paying for a college education for children can cost anywhere from the low tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands. Decisions about which university of college to attend can have a significant impact on the price tag.

Retirement Security
Retirement is a goal nearly everyone wants to achieve. It demonstrates success and provides a reward for decades of hard work. Once again, definitions make a difference. The amount of gold required to support your golden years will vary significantly depending on whether you want a staff of 10 at your villa in the South of France or a townhouse in Peoria, Illinois.

Health Care Coverage
The ability to obtain healthcare is an important goal for middle class wager earners and their families. The high and rising cost of medical care and prescription drugs make healthcare coverage an ever-increasing need, as going without it can have serious negative financial implications in the event of a severe illness or injury.

Family Vacation
The family vacation is a middle class staple. Vacations demonstrate that a family has disposable income and has been successful enough to take time away from work to focus on leisure.

What Happened on the Way to the Dream?
Globalization and technological advances began to reverse the growth of the middle class. The manufacturing base in the United States changed, as good-paying jobs in factories and heavy industries went overseas to lower-paying markets and labor unions lost much of their ability to bargain for high wages and good benefits. Later, white-collar jobs from accounting and data entry to reading medical images and answering telephones in call centers were also sent offshore. Many jobs that remained in the U.S. were eliminated by computers and other technological advancements that increased productivity.

To achieve or maintain a middle-class lifestyle, many households became two-income families. Achieving middle class goals became more difficult as employers eliminated their pension plans and defined-benefit plans, the cost of a college education continued to rise and the cost of healthcare jumped. For most of the 20-year period following 1990, the Commerce Department reports that real median income grew at a rate of about 20%, while the cost of a college education grew between 43% and 60%, the cost of housing rose 56% and healthcare costs jumped by 155%.

How to Get There
Although there are significant challenges to obtaining middle class status, there are some proactive steps that can help make the dream a reality. Budgeting is one of the most obvious. Understanding where your money goes each month can help you determine the exact makeup of the benchmarks you are trying to match. Are you looking for a Hyundai or a BMW?

Planning is another crucial step. Are the kids going to a state university or a private college? Are scholarships an option? Some savvy families find money for college by participating in programs which can aide families with the costs related to sending a child to university.

Working is another one of the requirements. A second job or a side business might be just what you need to boost your income and achieve some of your goals. Putting your money to work is also an important consideration. Investing has helped build wealth for generations. In fact, income earners ranked in the top 1% enjoyed significant increases in wealth even as the middle class fell into decline. Most of that wealth came from investments. Even if you dont have the means to invest for current income, you can take a few dollars from each paycheck and save for your retirement.

The Bottom Line
Dont underestimate the role of hard work and luck. Sometimes being in the right place at the right time or taking one particular course of action over another can make all the difference. So keep watching for opportunities and make the most of them when you find them. As motion-picture mogul Samuel Goldwyn said, "The harder I work, the luckier I get."

Here are 10 important links that every Google user should know about. They are tucked away, somewhere deep inside your Google Account dashboard, and they may reveal interesting details about you that are known to Google. Let’s get started.

1. Create a new Google Account using your existing email address. The regular sign-up process uses your @gmail.com address as your Google account username but with this special URL, you can use any other email address as your username.

https://accounts.google.com/SignUpWithoutGmail

2. Google creates a profile of yourself based on the sites you visit, your Google+ account and other signals. They try to guess your age, gender and interests and then use this data to serve you more relevant ads. Use this URL to know how Google sees you on the web.

3. Google lets you export all your data out of the Google ecosystem. You can download your photos, contacts, Gmail messages and even your YouTube videos. Head over the the Take out page to grab the download links.

https://www.google.com/takeout

4. If you ever find your content appearing on another website that is using one or more Google products – say Blogger, AdSense, Google+ or YouTube – you can raise a DMCA complaint with Google against that site to get that content removed. This wizard can also be used to remove websites from Google search results that are scraping your content.

https://support.google.com/legal

6. Google records every search term that youve ever typed into their search boxes. They even keep a log of every Google ad that you have clicked on various websites and if you are a Google Now user, you can also see a log of all your audio search queries. OK Google.

https://history.google.com
https://history.google.com/history/audio

7. You need to login to your Gmail account at least once every 9 months else Google may terminate your account according to their program policies.

7 Functional Foods That Reduce Brain Inflammation Clear Brain Fog

Brain inflammation & Brain fog

Inflammation is an innate response to injury, stress, or illness, poor gut function or eating toxic foods and induces an inflammatory response.

Brain fog is a sign of leaky brain or brain on fire. In other words, brain fog is a sign of inflammation.

Inflammation in the brain causes neurons to fire more slowly, slowing down mental acuity, recall, and reflexes. Sluggish neurons also shut down the production of energy in the cells. This means that cells fatigue easily, and you may lose your ability to focus for long periods of time.

Health and lifestyle factors that increase the risk of activating brain inflammation

-High carbohydrate diet
-Diabetes
-Lack of exercise
-chronic stress
-Heart disease
-Asthma
-Overuse of antibiotics
-Environmental toxins
-Poor sleep habits
-Digestive disorders
-Vitamin B deficiency
-Systemic inflammation

Foods That Destroy Inflammation in Your Brain

Avocados
Avocados are almost as good as blueberries in promoting brain health. They may also help lower blood pressure, which can reduce your risks for hypertension or a stroke that could permanently damage brain tissue.

Blueberries
The antioxidants and other phytochemicals in blueberries have been linked to improvements in learning, thinking and memory, along with reductions in neurodegenerative oxidative stress.

Coffee
Due to its antioxidant and caffeine content, and the fact that it contains two unique and potent neurological agents, you can keep a steady focus. Caffeine is more than an energy booster – caffeine may help ease cognitive decline and block inflammation in the brain.

Celery
Celery is a rich source of luteolin, a plant compounds that may calm inflammation in your brain, which is a primary cause of neurodegeneration.

Walnuts
Walnuts are good sources of plant-based omega-3 fats, natural phytosterols and antioxidants, and have been shown to reverse brain aging in older rats.

Omega-3
Go easy on meat and egg yolks, which contain pro-inflammatory arachidonic fatty acids, and eat more fish—nature’s best source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats. Studies show that people who eat fish just once a week reduce their risk of Alzheimer’s by 60 percent.

Curry
Curry contains turmeric, a spice that in turn contains the anti-inflammatory antioxidant curcumin. Curcumin is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, which is one reason why it holds promise as a neuroprotective agent in a wide range of neurological disorders.

A Goodbye Pie A Raspberry Cream Pie at that!

I hate, HATE, hate goodbyes. There is nothing fun about them. AT ALL. I prefer hellos over goodbyes....dont you?

A couple of weeks ago I had to say goodbye to not one, not two, not three but FOUR people that I adore - my parents, my sister and her sweetie pie.? Before I said "goodbye" I invited all of them over for some dinner and dessert. I figured I would be better off doing the deed of saying goodbye on a full tummy. I made a chicken casserole for dinner and then to finish off the meal I served pie. A fabulously EASY and super YUMMY pie. Yes, I made PWs Raspberry Cream Pie.

It was over the top DLISH! Simple ingredients along with a speedy assembly make this pie a lovely dessert. You can easily make this pie even faster than PW by using a pre-made crust or you can go right ahead and follow her recipe to the "T" and make your own cookie crust.

Want the recipe? Of course you do! :-)

Raspberry Cream Pie
(recipe from The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond at the Tasty Kitchen)

Ingredients:

25 whole Oreo cookies

4 Tbsp butter, melted

1 generous cup fresh raspberries

3 Tbsp sugar

2 containers (6oz. each) raspberry yogurt

1 package (3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream

extra raspberries for garnishing

Directions:

1. Make crust....(or purchase a pre-made Oreo crust)....preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cookies in a food processor and "crush" or place cookies in a Ziploc bag and smash with a rolling pin. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Pour crushed cookie mixture into a regular pie pan and press down all over the pan and up the sides. Bake for 3-4 minutes - just long enough to set. Cool crust completely after baking to set.

2. Make pie filling....pour fresh raspberries into a medium size bowl. Smash them with a fork, then sprinkle with 3 Tbsp of sugar. Stir smashed raspberries and sugar together and then let sit for 15 minutes.

3. In a bowl of a mixer combine raspberry yogurt with the instant vanilla pudding powder. Beat on low for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and whip on low for 30 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Turn mixer on medium-high speed and beat for 2 minutes, or until mixture is thick.

4. Turn off mixer, then fold in fresh raspberries until just combined. Pour this lovely creamy raspberry mixture into COOLED pie pan and spread evenly.

5. Place pie in freezer and freeze for 2 hours, or until very firm. Cut into slices and garnish with fresh raspberries if you wish. ENJOY!.....I know you will. :-)

Happy Raspberry Cream Pie Making!

9 Alkaline Foods That Fight Cancer Pain Gout Diabetes and Heart Disease

Trying to go alkaline? It’s easier when you know which foods help your body stay get to and stay in an alkaline state. A general rule of thumb is that you can eat these foods without worrying about any acidic effect they’ll have, although some are more alkaline than others. It isn’t necessary to eat only alkaline foods in order to get body’s pH levels to be alkaline, and a certain percentage of foods can be acidic, but it’s best if they’re natural, whole foods like fruits.

1. Almonds & Almond Milk

Almonds consistently rank on the list of healthiest foods to eat, so it’s no wonder that they’re also an alkaline food. They’ve also been linked to increased muscle gain, a lowering of cholesterol levels, and are able to assist with fat loss. You don’t have to eat a lot of almonds in order to enjoy their benefits, but they do make a great snack that you can take anywhere and can help you between meals.

Top stats (per 100g):

Calcium – 27%

Iron – 25%

Protein – 44%

2. Amaranth

This is a grain that not many people are familiar with, but that makes a great addition to any alkaline-focused diet plan.

This is full of Vitamin A and has an impressive amount of calcium in it as well. We usually associate dairy products with calcium, but here is a non-dairy way to make sure you’re getting enough.

Asparagus has an alkaline effect on the body, and it just so happens that it’s one of the strongest foods you can eat in terms of alkalinity. Each food is ranked according to how alkaline it is, and asparagus is one of the “big dogs”. But it brings a lot more than that to the table, including antioxidants, nutrients, and plenty of detoxifying qualities. It’s even been noted that asparagus has anti-aging benefits, which is enough for most people to start adding more of it to their menu.

6. Avocado & Avocado Oil

It’s no surprise that avocado is on our list of alkaline foods. It’s managed to make it onto our list of superfoods as well, so you know it’s packing a nutritional punch. Avocados are high in potassium as well as healthy fat, so in addition to helping you be more alkaline, you’re getting other perks as well. You can also use avocado oil in favor of other oils that don’t provide any alkaline benefit, or worse are acid-forming in the body.

7. Basil

You might not have thought that the herbs and spices you use on your food have an effect on how alkaline or acidic your pH levels are. But as it turns out there are good spices and bad spices. Basil happens to be one of the ones that helps keep you alkaline, and it also has plenty of other things going for it, such as the flavonoids it contains. These help the body to heal and basil in general can help with several different areas of the body.

8. Beetroot

Beetroot gets more attention now than ever before, and it’s one of the foods out there that will act to help raise your pH levels. The reason it’s an important vegetable to include in your arsenal is because it’s one of the only sources of the phytonutrient betalain which may have anticancer properties. Add these as a side, or use them as a salad topper. Be sure to buy this one fresh and steam it, as the pickled variety has reduced nutritional value.

9. Broccoli

This is a quintessential healthy food and it’s easy to understand that it’s an alkaline food. Broccoli is one of those vegetables that has so much going on you simply have to make an extra effort to get more of it into your system. Some people eat broccoli every day as a way to maintain good health and make sure they’re on the alkaline side. You at least want to eat it multiple times a week, with 3 or 4 times being a good rule of thumb.
