The Hottest IPO of the Year
Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999
A ‘final’ timeline for the Iran conflict… Hiring is at a four-year low… Inflation is back in the picture… SpaceX is going public… But not without its red flags… Speculations have their place, when sized correctly…
Just two or three more weeks…
That was the timeline President Donald Trump laid out for the end of the Iran conflict in a speech last night. He added that the U.S. continues to negotiate with Iran, and said the operation is “getting very close” to achieving its goals.
In a post on the social platform X, Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out the U.S.’s four objectives… These included destroying Iran’s weapons facilities, as well as the country’s navy and air force.
Trump said these three goals had all been accomplished. The only remaining goal is making sure Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
But that was the end of the optimistic commentary. Put simply, the time between now and Trump’s predicted end to the conflict won’t be quiet. As the president put it last night…
We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong.
Even with a timeline in sight, there’s still plenty of time for things to change. And based on last night’s speech, strikes on Iran will continue, which could derail further negotiations.
And Trump has his eyes on the next targets if negotiations break down. More from last night’s speech…
If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously.
We have not hit their oil, even though that’s the easiest target of all, because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding. But we could hit it and it would be gone and there’s not a thing they could do about it.
So we expect the recent volatility to continue at least throughout the rest of the month.
We saw that in the market’s reaction today. Stock futures fell off after Trump’s speech began.
All three major U.S. indexes fell more than 1% early in the morning, before rebounding and bringing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq into positive territory on the day. And oil jumped more than 10% – with West Texas Intermediate crude hitting a four-year high of $110 per barrel.
He must’ve seen today’s market action coming… Trump said that once the conflict does end, “gas prices will rapidly come back down” and “stock prices will rapidly go back up.”
The president must’ve missed the four-year low in hiring…
On Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (“JOLTS”) report for the month of February.
Total job openings fell from January’s seven-month high to 6.88 million. And total hires fell to 4.85 million, hitting the lowest level since April 2020. When you exclude the COVID-19 pandemic, you’d have to go all the way back to August 2014 to find a month with fewer hires than February.
Tomorrow, the bureau will release its monthly Employment Situation Summary for March, including the unemployment rate. Wall Street expects 52,000 job gains, with the unemployment rate sticking at 4.4%.
Ahead of that, payroll processor ADP released its monthly employment report, showing that the private sector added 62,000 jobs in March. That was above Wall Street’s estimate, but it’s below February’s 66,000 new jobs.
So for now, signs are pointing to a less-bad month than February, when the market lost 92,000 jobs. But since hiring is also in a slump, the jobs market remains on shaky ground.
The combined labor market and inflation problem…
As we’ve written in previous Digests, the jobs market weakening at the same time we face sticky inflation has put the Federal Reserve in a tough spot. The Fed would usually respond to labor struggles with rate cuts, while it would raise rates to tame inflation.
Now, it’s dealing with both problems at the same time.
The Fed cut rates last year to help the jobs market, when inflation had come down from its peak and was approaching the target range of 2%. That might not be the case anymore. As we wrote in the March 11 Digest…
One estimate from Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Slok is that $100 oil would boost headline inflation by 0.7 percentage points. That would put it closer to 4% than 3%, to say nothing of the Fed’s supposed 2% target.
At the time, the Cleveland Federal Reserve was projecting March’s consumer price index data to come in at a 2.9% year-over-year increase. Just three weeks later, the Cleveland Fed is now projecting CPI to come in at 3.3% in both March and April.
That would be the highest level for inflation since June 2024.
The Iran war, and oil above $100 per barrel, add a level of uncertainty to the Fed’s next move. Right now, the market is pricing in a 97% chance of the Fed leaving rates unchanged at its meeting at the end of the month – and a 3% chance that the Fed hikes interest rates.
That’s not what the market would want to see.
In other news, SpaceX has filed to go public…
The rocket company filed confidentially for an initial public offering (“IPO”) later this year, according to Bloomberg. The IPO would come around June with a valuation of $1.75 trillion, Bloomberg said.
That would instantly make SpaceX one of the eight largest companies in the world. And we’re willing to bet that a lot of investors are going to try and snap up SpaceX’s shares…
For one, the space industry has been one of the market’s top performers. Over the past year, the Procure Space Fund (UFO) has more than doubled. And in 2026, it’s up another 27%, versus a 4% decline for the S&P 500.
And since SpaceX is also run by Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, plenty of mom-and-pop “retail” investors and trend-chasers will be interested. The company is adjusting its offering to meet that demand.
According to CNBC, SpaceX may allocate 30% of shares from its IPO to everyday retail investors, instead of the typical range of 5% to 10%. That’s a red flag. As our colleague James Royal explained in a recent Investing News article…
At the same time, you must be cautious when anyone cuts you in for a “can’t miss” deal normally reserved for the elite. If it’s such a great opportunity, then why are you being invited to profit, too?
As the saying goes, “If you look around the table and can’t figure out who the sucker is, it’s you.”
Musk knows where the demand for his shares comes from… In February, Yahoo Finance reported that Tesla was the second-most-purchased stock from retail investors so far in 2026 – only behind Microsoft (MSFT). And SpaceX is getting out ahead of this.
But when retail goes “all in” on a single stock, that’s usually a sign of a top. Just look at GameStop (GME), the poster child of 2021’s meme-stock frenzy… GameStop is off more than 70% from its highs that year.
GameStop was trading based on excitement and momentum, completely disconnected from its fundamentals. We could see something similar with SpaceX if retail investors pile in.
That’s not the only issue with SpaceX’s IPO…
As our colleague Sean Michael Cummings wrote in the March 30 edition of the free DailyWealth e-letter, “animal spirits” are taking over when it comes to SpaceX’s upcoming offering.
And a lot of that has come from Musk’s ability to drum up headlines from future goals and products. From Sean…
For example, Tesla owners have been promised Full Self-Driving vehicles for nearly a decade. But as recently as 2024, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (“IIHS”) rated Tesla’s automated driving as “poor.”
Now, as Sean wrote, Musk is saying SpaceX is the key to “make us an intergalactic civilization.”
SpaceX may end up being a good investment somewhere down the line. It has secured government contracts from NASA, the Air Force, and the Space Force. But right now, the story is built on hype.
There are better ways to manage your portfolio…
As Sean concluded…
By following a disciplined approach, you can avoid buying based on hype and ensure your portfolio is safe. Remember to use proper position sizing. You can always speculate on moonshots with smaller amounts of money and scale in gradually.
We agree with Sean… speculations like hot IPOs and small-cap hypergrowth companies can have a place inside a well-built portfolio. But give them a much smaller weighting than the well-run, capital-efficient businesses that should be your portfolio’s cornerstone. And even when you speculate, you can find speculative investments with more substance than hype.

The Rules of the Stock Market Have Changed… Do THIS Now
That’s the urgent warning from our mystery expert, a former hedge-fund insider who tracked positions as large as $200 million. He has never spoken publicly like this.

Learn more and save your free seat while you can.
Emmy-Winning Analyst Releases His Next Big Story
Whitney Tilson shocked the nation on 60 Minutes when he accused a major company of poisoning its customers. The investigation won an Emmy, and the stock fell nearly 80%. (He also called the housing crisis and the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers.) Now, he’s releasing his next big story. He says a dangerous pattern is forming, and most Americans have no idea how exposed they really are. For the full presentation, go here.
New 52-week highs (as of 4/1/26): Altius Minerals (ALS.TO), New York Times (NYT), Pfizer (PFE), and Sempra (SRE).
No questions in today’s mailbag, but we do have one clarification to acknowledge. Yesterday’s edition included a typo when we referenced the estimated global daily oil-supply deficit given the blocked Strait of Hormuz. The number should have read 10 million barrels, and we’ve updated it on our website.
Lastly, one housekeeping note… Our offices and the U.S. stock markets are closed tomorrow for the Good Friday holiday. After today, stay tuned for a special series of essays from editor Corey McLaughlin that will begin in the Masters Series and continue on Monday.
All the best,

Do this before SpaceX IPOs or be sorry
APRIL 02, 2026 | READ ONLINE
When Elon’s SpaceX IPO officially hits — which could be just days from now — two things will happen.
Elon’s 40% stake will immediately earn him around $625 billion in new wealth. Then millions of small investors will buy SpaceX’s stock, hoping to strike it rich.
Unfortunately, many of them will be disappointed.
That’s why I’m urging you to take advantage of this pre-IPO SpaceX play while you still can.
Sincerely,
Tim Bohen
Special Report
MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/16 – 03/20
Author: MarketBeat Staff. Originally Published: 3/21/2026.
As spring arrives, investors hope the March madness in stocks will end. They may have to wait: this week all major indexes closed below their 200-day moving averages, a technical indicator that can signal growing bearish investor psychology.
That sentiment is being reinforced by government data showing stubborn inflation, which will likely keep the Federal Reserve from cutting rates — and recent chatter even includes the possibility of a rate increase.
Investors have often overlooked troublesome data, but what’s different now is the added overlay of the conflict with Iran. Uncertainty about its duration and whether it will escalate will affect energy prices — a key barometer of consumer sentiment.
ELON’S “HIDDEN” COMPANY (AD)
Elon Musk believes this technology could make Tesla the most valuable company in the world — yet the core infrastructure powering it is not owned by Tesla at all.
It belongs to one of Musk’s private ventures, with thousands of systems already running globally around the clock. Veteran tech investor Matt McCall has identified a little-known way everyday investors can gain exposure.
The stock is currently trading for less than $30.
Expect more volatility, but there are opportunities amid the chaos. MarketBeat analysts can help you find them. Here are this week’s most popular articles.
Articles by Thomas Hughes
Retail stocks remain among the most closely watched this earnings season. This week, Thomas Hughes analyzed recent reports from discount retailers Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR)and Ollie’s Bargain Outlets (NASDAQ: OLLI). The reports were similar: both posted positive current-quarter results but issued cautious guidance.
Dollar Tree’s catalysts come from restructuring and remodeling, while with Ollie’s the focus is expansion. Hughes lays out the fundamental and technical case for why each stock is compelling at its current price.
Then there’s Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO), a manufacturer of small modular reactors that reported earnings this week. Hughes noted that investors appear to be putting in a bottom after the stock’s recent sell-off — a development that could produce significant upside if the company executes its plans.
Articles by Sam Quirke
Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) is bucking the sell-off in technology stocks. This week, Sam Quirke explained the technical backdrop that suggests investors may view the post-earnings CapEx sell-off as overdone.
Buy the rumor, sell the reality? That seems to be the case with PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL). The stock rallied sharply on takeover rumors and then pulled back just as quickly — a move Quirke says revives concerns about PayPal’s relevance in a crowded market.
Quirke also covered the surge in Cloudflare Inc. (NYSE: NET) after news it might create a stablecoin. He explained why the rapid growth of agentic AI makes such a move logical, but cautioned that it’s likely some time away from becoming reality.
Articles by Chris Markoch
Investors love stock splits, even if partly for psychological reasons. After several high-profile splits in 2025, a few companies could be candidates to split their stock in 2026 based on price alone. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three stocks to watch as potential split candidates: 3 stocks that could be next to announce a stock split.
Congressional trading hasn’t been banned yet, so investors still pay attention to what lawmakers buy. Markoch pointed out five stocks that members of Congress have traded in the last 90 days.
It’s not surprising to hear about another groundbreaking deal from Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). Still, the company’s recent partnership with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA)should not be quickly overlooked.
Articles by Ryan Hasson
When markets move lower, it can help to ride the hot hand. This week, Ryan Hasson spotlighted the three best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 so far in 2026 and explained why each may have more room to run.
In broad market selloffs, even quality names can go on sale. Hasson pointed investors to five large-cap stocks that are oversold despite solid fundamentals — potential buys for patient investors.
The downturn in tech has a lot to do with valuation and fears of unrealistic growth projections. But that’s not the case for the two technology stocks that are holding their own in a volatile market.
Articles by Leo Miller
The AI infrastructure trade has many layers, which helps explain why shares of Credo Technology (NASDAQ: CRDO) and Astera Labs (NASDAQ: ALAB) have been moving higher. Leo Miller highlighted those stocks and outlined the dynamics likely to push them higher.
Sticking with under-the-radar names, Miller explained the role Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) plays in the AI and defense spending boom, and flagged valuation considerations investors should weigh.
What’s in a name? In the case of Everpure (NYSE: PSTG), it’s quite a lot. The company, formerly Pure Storage, rebranded to reflect a shift toward an intelligent data-management platform rather than just data storage. Miller noted that the post-earnings drop underscores what investors really care about.
Articles by Nathan Reiff
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) remains an enticing name in quantum computing, but Nathan Reiff explained why IBM’s quantum research poses a challenge to D-Wave — not just technologically, but also from a balance-sheet perspective.
There seems to be a new headline related to GLP-1 drugs every week, which can make investing more challenging than treating patients. This week Reiff highlighted three players in the GLP-1 space that investors should watch closely.
Stocks and bonds often move inversely. The bond market may not be booming, but Reiff wrote about two active bond ETFs that are off to a strong start in 2026.
Articles by Dan Schmidt
Volatile markets can create opportunities for momentum traders comfortable with risk. This week, Dan Schmidt used the charts to highlight technical indicators pointing to a bullish reversal in three well-known stocks.
Much of the talk around the Strait of Hormuz focuses on oil, but Schmidt pointed out that the route is also a key artery for materials used to make fertilizer. That’s creating a supply-demand imbalance that could send three fertilizer stocks soaring.
Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson
Beyond oil and fertilizer, a closure of the Strait of Hormuz would also disrupt the supply chain for chemical stocks. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained the situation and why it’s bullish for two chemical stocks with attractive defensive qualities.
The AI revolution is accelerating, and Johnson argued investors should look beyond chipmakers and data-center firms to consider retailers — many are using AI in their supply chains. He highlighted two top retail names to consider.
Good enough hasn’t been good enough for many companies this earnings season, but a substantial beat still gets attention. That was the case with El Pollo Loco (NASDAQ: LOCO); Johnson highlighted its strong earnings report and why it’s well-positioned in the rapidly growing fast-casual market.
Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods
Home Depot (NYSE: HD) is an example of a quality company operating in a tough environment. The housing and renovation market remains weak, but Jennifer Ryan Woods noted that analysts remain bullish on HD stock, and even a modest recovery could reward investors who buy on weakness.
Wayfair Inc. (NYSE: W) has taken investors on a tariff-induced roller coaster — W stock climbed almost 500% on the way up. But what should investors do now that the stock is pulling back? Woods explained why analysts are parsing the company’s mixed earnings and why investors may want to do the same.
Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE) has become a complicated trade after issuing cautious guidance for 2026, prompting investors to rethink margin expectations. Woods analyzed both why the stock looks attractive and the reasons for concern in her recent piece.
Articles by Peter Frank
Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ: IBKR) is up more than 50% over the past 12 months. This week, Peter Frank explained why the fast-growing brokerage may continue to outperform, but also highlighted potential headwinds if interest rates fall or trading activity slows.
Like many financial-services companies, Stifel Financial (NYSE: SF) enjoyed a strong 2025. Frank cautioned that “when you play the market with a stock that’s dependent on the market, there’s always risk.” Read his article to decide if SF stock belongs in your portfolio.

Bible Study with Hank
Hello All,
I know it is Easter Sunday weekend and in all probability most of us will be busy. However, an hour together on Saturday morning may be just the ticket to set the theme for witnessing the Risen Christ on Sunday. We will gather, via Zoom, at 8:00 PDT on 04/04/2026.
The Golden Rule is magnificent in its simplicity and it is Jesus’ appeal to our use of commonsense in dealing with others. Quite candidly, as simple a message as it may be, one must journey through the Beatitudes to fully understand the Golden Rule.
Please join us for a brief discussion of Jesus’ teachings at the beginning of His ministry as we gather to celebrate its ending with His glorious resurrection.
Love, hank

Study Notes:
04/04/2026 – Prologue – This Torah of the Messiah, “is totally new and different, but it is precisely by so being, that it fulfills the Torah of Moses”. And the “interpretative key” is a declaration by Jesus that has caused significant confusion and consternation: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish them, but to fulfill them.” [Matt. 5:17] This confusion often comes about through a misunderstanding of Paul’s writings about the Law. Neither Jesus nor Paul said the Law was bad, but that bad things happen, when people try to make the Law into something it is not.
[Matt. 7: 7-12] – Ask, Seek, Knock – Many seem to agree that the reference to the Law and Prophets [v. 5:17] is the beginning bracket and that [v. 7:12] is the ending bracket for the main teachings of TSOM. There is a lack of agreement concerning the context of [v. 7:7-11]. The clue indicating the concluding point is the beginning of [v. 12] as Jesus uses the word, “Therefore”. “Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” (KJV) This tells us to spend a moment with our word choices here; the NIV uses, “So in everything …” Therefore, is an adverb meaning. “for that reason; be-cause of that; consequently.” With its use Jesus is drawing a conclusion, based on His previous teachings, by emphasizing that how we treat others should reflect our own desires for how we are treated. Candidly, this connects ethics to the deeper and broader principles of the Law and the Prophets. Jesus is telling us that we are to love and respect all people as we interact with them.
In retrospect here are the ‘divisions’ in the Sermon. The doorway found in [v. 5:3-12]; the general thematic statement of the disciples [v. 5:13-16] (salt and light); the Golden rule [v. 7:12]; and warnings for the disciples are the departure point [v. 7: 13-27]. Thus, to enter the teachings of the TSOM, both structurally and spiritually, is possible only by going through the Gospel promises found in the Beatitudes [v. 5:3-12] In this context we are able to see Jesus’ teachings as possible. Thus the ‘therefore’ and the Jesus’ logic takes us to His calling His disciples to deal in love and mercy with others is, only by way of Christ’s blessing and promise. This makes [v. 7:7-11] the ground and support for [v. 7:12]. Further the logic of [v. 12] could read, “The Father certainly will give all good things to you when you ask Him, for you are His dear children – through Jesus.” Again, ‘Therefore’, you in turn give good things to those who ask you! [v. 12]This is interesting, in that Jesus, whether intentionally or not, is that the words He uses are semantically equal to what is written in the Psalms. “O fear the Lord, ye His saints: for there is no want to them who fear Him.” KJV [Ps. 34:9] Regardless of the version of the Bible, this verse emphasizes the importance of reverence for God and assures us that those who honor Him will lack for nothing. With Jesus’ final summary in TSOM before He leads His disciples out of the teaching and back into the world via the exhortations found in [v. 7:13-27]
Blessing and Calling – [Matt. 7:7-12] Many folks who read these verses, conclude they are instructions to the disciples, but they err; Jesus is leading us toward the actions of the Father – who is so willing to give. Jesus develops His principle by arguing from the lesser to the greater. [v. 7:9-11] (Earthly fathers/Heavenly Father) Jesus has used this device before [v. 6:26-30]. He is appealing to commonsense and common decency by virtue of His rhetorical questioning. No earthly father would answer “yes” to any of Jesus’ questions. Luther had some interesting ways to describe this. Luther stated, “If we did not allow TSOM to go in one ear and out the other, we might be less coarse. If we measured our lives against the standard of this teaching, we might become our own teachers – teaching ourselves what we ought to do. We would not have to chase after holy lives and holy works, nor would we need many lawyers and law books.” Luther makes it clear that the Golden Rule is truly golden – a precious summary of the revelations that Jesus gave to His disciples [v. 5:17-7:11]. He added that we disciples could use TSOM in light of the Father’s Gospel promises. Those were articulated by Jesus in [v. 5:3-12] and in the invitation to believe the Father’s willingness to give the good gifts that we request from Him [v. 7:7-11]. The Golden Rule is too heavy to approach without our Father’s willingness. Through Jesus, the royal reign of God has come near [v. 4:17], to give good gifts to all who repent and believe in Jesus – however “little” [v. 6:30] that faith might be. Jesus calls – creates – sustains the relationship through which sinful people become His disciples. With Jesus’ sustaining His disciples, they take up the rule and apply it.
Jesus began His teaching with authority on the mountaintop [v. 4:25-5:2], but He does not remain there, nor do His disciples. His ministry will continue in a nation and among a people that mostly will reject Him. Jesus’ disciples will, until His return in glory, will live in a world that will try to deceive them and draw them away from their Lord [v. 5:10-12]. As Jesus concludes, He offers His disciples realistic, careful warnings and those warnings will be the subject of our future studies. AMEN

Elon’s big $266,000 per second purchase (ad)“What’s happening in NYC will spread…”
Last year I ran for Mayor of New York City… and lost to a 34-year-old Democratic Socialist. Now he wants to spend $70 million just to study government-run grocery stores. Raise property taxes 9.5%. And hike taxes on every corporation and high earner. I’ve spent 30 years on Wall Street. And I’m convinced what’s starting in New York is just the beginning. I’ve put together a free analysis explaining exactly what’s coming, and what you can do about it.

Trump Signs Order Creating National Eligible Voter List
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday regulating elections nationwide by establishing a list of voters eligible to vote by mail.
“The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It’s horrible what has been going on,” Trump said. “If you don’t have honest voting, you can’t have, really, a nation.”
The order, which is expected to spark legal challenges, says only American citizens are eligible to vote by mail, with lists verified by the Homeland Security Department in coordination with the Social Security Administration.
The U.S. Postal Service is ordered to only send ballots to individuals included on the lists, with unique bar codes applied to each envelope—one per voter—to facilitate tracking and audits.
The attorney general and department heads are instructed to forward evidence of violations to the Department of Justice for investigation.
One Democratic lawmaker critical of the new order challenged the president’s authority.
“This executive order is a blatant, unconstitutional abuse of power,” Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) said in a statement.
“Make no mistake: Trump’s attacks on our elections are a clear and present threat to our democracy.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom rejected the order as illegal and warned of incoming litigation.
“The President wants to limit which Americans can participate in our democracy,” Newsom’s press office wrote on March 31 on X. “California will see him in court.”
Administration officials said the order, titled “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” is a step toward restoring faith in the electoral process.
“We believe, combined, the measures in this order will help secure elections in the future and ensure the many abuses of our elections in the past are not repeated in future elections,” said Will Scharf, White House staff secretary and assistant to the president.

Cooking, Processing, and the Real Cancer Risks of Meat
Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy piles beef on her plate frequently and shares photos and videos of it on social media with the caption: “What a cancer doctor eats for dinner.”
A cancer doctor who eats beef regularly might sound like a contradiction, but Connealy, medical director of the Cancer Center for Healing, isn’t ignoring research—she’s reading it more carefully than most. The danger, she told The Epoch Times, is not in the meat itself. It’s in the char, the chemical preservatives, and the shortcuts taken between the farm and your fork.
Meat—when chosen and prepared mindfully—offers abundant nutrients including iron, zinc, and B vitamins. “It is a complete food,” she said. “I probably don’t eat meat every day, but I would say more often than not I do.”
What has science found, and how can we make eating meat safer?
Cooking meat too quickly by charring or burning—often done when grilling or pan-searing—generates heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, compounds that can cause genetic mutations in cells lining the colon and rectum and lead to cancer. These cancer-causing compounds also cause cellular damage and inflammation, both of which are known factors in cancer development.
A study published in Nutrientsfound that eating meat cooked at high heat—particularly smoked, fried, roasted, and boiled—increases the risk of oral cancer in the same way.
Connealy prepares meat in a slow cooker or in a non-toxic stainless steel pan, using minimal oil. “You have to be mindful of every single thing.”
Creating a barrier around meat by marinating it first lowers the production of heterocyclic amines, Lise Alschuler, a naturopathic oncologist, told The Epoch Times. She suggests a homemade marinade with olive oil and spices. (More)
