green pepper - 0.099 mg/100g
tomato - 0.089 mg/100g
pasta - 0.431 mg/100g
salami - .4*1.06 = .424 mg/40g
caesar dressing - 2.5*.083 = 0.2075 mg/250 ml
cheese - 2*.41 = .82 mg /200g
====================
.099+.089+.431+.424+.2075+.82 = 2.075 mg
half of that is 1 mg/day. or so.
how much from the fruit bowl?
strawberries - .0938 mg
kiwi - 0.13725 mg
banana - .788/2 = 0.394
raspberries - .063 mg
blueberries - 0.04 mg
ice cream - .6391 mg
soy milk - 5*.15 = .75 mg
============
.938 + .13725 + .394 + .063 + .04 + .6391 + .75 = 2.96135
2.96135 + 2.075/2 ~ 4 mg
so, i was at the very low end of that 4-7 mg....if i ate on that day. if i skipped a day...or three...
did i have a b5 deficiency?
well, i was getting these brutal hemiplegic migraines that were described by tingling at my extremities. i thought i had ms, for a while, due to weird electrical attacks.
i guess that, if i keep with the avocados, and these attacks come back then i've disproved that.
but, if i keep up with this diet, and the attacks go away?
it's entirely plausible. and, i need to throw that out there for people with low fat diets - you might be concerned about iron, or b12. you've probably never even thought about b5; i know i didn't. maybe you should.
