More about the foods we eat...........

[tube fanatic]

Since my previous post about Monsanto generated so much interest, I'm posting this as well. Even if you don't believe everything that Mercola asserts, this article can serve as a platform for your own research on the subject. It does not paint a very rosy picture!!!

This is so typical. For anyone who doesn't know, Aluminum is linked to Alzheimer's disease, so you should be concerned. The fox is guarding the hen house.

I know that this is very self serving, but do they really have to do this to healthy food? I mean if you eat at McDonalds you know what you are eating. But if you try to avoid processed foods and eat a lot of fruit and veggies, do they have to ruin that too?

Here is a nice story. I just ate some carrots. I love them as snacks. I used to buy baby carrots, the pre-peeled ones. They used to give me really bad stomach aches. They also turned white when left in the fridge for a few days or left out. I figured that they were hard to digest and that is why my stomach hurt. I stopped buying them years ago because of the stomach aches.

I later found out that the manufacturer soaks the carrots in a chlorine mix after cutting them to sterilize. So my stomach aches were comming from the chlorine not the carrots. I now leave fresh carrots in the fridge for weeks and they are ok and do not turn white.

Folks, is this really what you want done to your food? This is just one small example of our adulterated food supply. It is much worse than you think. Try reading Food Revolution by John Robbins if you would like to get an idea of how bad it really is.

You raise an interesting point. My wife, who works with disabled/handicapped pre-schoolers, has seen a huge increase in food allergies and hypersensitivies over the past 5 years in particular. And even many adults who could eat varioius foods in the past have, in recent years, developed intolerance to many of them. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find food which isn't poisoned in some fashion. All because of greed. Glad I'm old............

Well it's either too much cholesterol, too much fat, too much sugar, too much salt, and too many GMO's. That doesn't leave much to eat. I guess there is always tree bark.

I'd like fries and a shake with that double cheese burger....

There is a lot of food that you can eat while cutting things that are really bad for you. If you cut out all of the garbage, your body will naturally settle to a weight that is near the center of the body mass index (if you exercise a lot you will edge up as you put on muscle). This is all without being hungry, you eat whenever you wish to eat. I am 44 and can fit into clothes that I wore when I was 19 years old without any effort in my diet. My wife has a body that looks like you see in every magazine. I am not saying this to brag, but to make a point that she eats a healthy diet and puts no effort into maintaining her body and she looks amazing and feels great. Speaking of which, it has been shown that a healthy diet reverses erectile disfunction. Viagra is all bloodflow and a healthy diet greatly increases bloodflow.

The western diet is severely deficient in vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants, while very high in fat, processed carbohydrates and animal protein (tons of cholesterol), so it is not like you are going to hurt yourself by making a change.

As to the food, I love what we eat and look forward to every meal. My wife and I each like to cook and we eat so well. And every person who has come over to eat loves the food that we make. Your pallet will also change rather quickly and you will start to crave healthy food and reject unhealthy food. Think of the first time you drank a diet soda. Tasted horrible. Then after a while, regular sode will taste horrible. Same thing happens when you cut out all of the garbage.

I seem to remember that you are a doctor. Check out the work of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and T Collin Campbell. There are many others.

For anyone who doesn't like to read, here are some great lecture presentations by Esselstyn:

Maron,

How about posting some beauty shots of your before (gray) and after (return to normal)? All from eating "bruised veggies? [bs]

Sounds more like you now have issues with your sight.

It could be from all of the Roundup you consume in your Monsanto approved diet leaching out of yoru body. []

I buy my produce at the Aisian market and it is not perfect looking liek at teh grocery store. It also does not look like it has been painted or waxed. It is 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the gorcery store and taste great.

Eat the best you can always, if you can read a book you can cook, better yet, after you learn how to cook and can taste, you can make almost anything. Focus on spices and how they work, and your taste buds. Sure, we all dont always have the time to cook everything from scratch. I always make an effort to do so, buy local if you can, from a trusted source. Preservatives are bad bad news, what else do you think they preserve? I dont know how many thousands of years old our modern digestive systems are, but surely they cant evolve, fast enough. Try a juice fast for a few days or better yet, try it for a week, gets some digestive track cleanser and some corn husk psyllium. After you have no food in your system other than juice watch what happens.. Not rare for people to pass very bizarre things, I ate well for years and I couldn't believe what happened. I didnt experience the 60's but after doing this I feel like I did. Watch what hapens to your focus it's, very suprising!!!! Then after you eat when its over, you will be even more suprised!!!

This is a public forum, but it is not "rare" for people to pass gum, or even small coins they ate when they were children, from what I have heard. I grew up eating many things that were home made, about 80% of what I ingested. This program still suprised me in so many ways..... be careful though and do some research. All of our lower digestive tracks are filled with "stuff" that we all can clean out, you will eat less, feel better....Imagine one of the primary areas of nutrient transfer being packed with a tar like substance? The nutrients cant get through, and I assume a person would feel hungry? what did thay say about John Wayne's colon?
