It means turning to whole food sources such as whole grains, beans and legumes, nuts, seeds, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and superfoods. When you choose these as your food sources, you are fortifying your body with the vitamins, minerals, healthy oils, fiber and other nutrients it needs to boost its immune system function and fight off the flu.

One final clarification on all this: I am not an opponent of soy products. In fact, I consume all sorts of soy products myself: soy milk, soy protein and tofu. I think soy is a genuine superfood, and recent research has shown that it helps prevent prostate cancer in men, breast cancer in women, and free radical damage. |

Consumption of moderate to large amounts of caffeine while pregnant has been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage.4'5' '7 Although some studies suggest that only very large amounts of caffeine increase the risk of miscarriage,8 an analysis of clinical trials found that women who consumed more than 150 mg of caffeine (roughly one to two cups of coffee) per day while pregnant had an increased risk of miscarriage or delivering a baby with a low birth weight. |

The quality, content, and activity of the water in our body, coupled with its stabilization of bacteria and all our other cells, will inevitably affect how well we age and how well our body can control disease. and creating a far more rapid aging process, which in turn tends to lead to all manner of degenerative diseases. | | Not surprisingly, they neglected to tell us that these processed products were filled with refined sugars and appetite-stimulating chemical additives to make us want to eat more. The result is what we are living with today—diabetes and obesity that has skyrocketed to epidemic proportions. And most of the blame has landed upon carbohydrates, so now we're actually afraid to eat carbohydrates.
But let's try to bring it back into balance. | | Pesticides and herbicides and hormone-enhancing drugs, chemical additives and preservatives, chemical sprays and food processing damage our foods to a truly profound extent. We are surrounded by asbestos, formaldehyde (in particle board, plywood, paints, and plastics), vinyl chloride, and radioactivity—all of which are dangerous. Polluted air, noise pollution, traffic congestion, radiation hazards, and psychological stress, are just some of the byproducts of today's obsessive technological growth and expansion. It is amazing that anyone is healthy. | | We have chemical additives, irradiated produce, fat substitutes, chemical sweeteners, chemicals leached from packaging, and new "designer" (genetically modified and engineered) foods. These prepared foods are coming to us from big industry because of our demand for it. We no longer grow our own produce, gather fruit in season, or purchase our meat from a local farmer or butcher. What we have lost is the pristine quality and richness of vital nutrients from our foods. |

Out pop Corn Pops. A similar fate has befallen pretty much every flour-based product on supermarket shelves: cereals, breads, crackers, chips, cookies, cakes, and so on—all major sources of excess calories and a serious threat to America's health. | | Chips are still full of salt and chemical additives, and have a nutritional profile on a par with diet sodas, which are completely devoid of nutrients and contain artificial sweeteners and other potential health hazards.
PepsiCo earns its place next to General Mills for the chutzpah award in finding no cereal too sugary to call healthy. Among the kid-friendly breakfast cereals deemed worthy of basking in the healthy glow of the Smart Spot are Peanut Butter Crunch, Cap'n Crunch Swirled Berries, and

In addition, to clarify for the readers, it was DSHEA in 1994 that essentially forced the FDA to keep their hands off certain dietary supplements, which were under intense attack at that time. I think it was Sen. Oren Hatch who co-sponsored that bill.
John: Yes, he was the primary sponsor of DSHEA and unfortunately nowadays, from my perspective at least, he has switched his allegiance. |

However, unrefined "natural" soy oil smokes at low temperatures and goes rancid quickly, making its bad taste and odor even worse. Not surprisingly, consumers have given natural soy oil the cold shoulder, and it enjoys only a minuscule share of the vegetable oil market.

• Diet: Eliminate all refined sugar, caffeine, and chemical additives. Work with food allergies. Reduce intake of foods high in salicylates in selected cases.
• Supplements: Vitamin B6, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and/or essential fatty acids in selected cases (dosages should be determined by a doctor).
• Lifestyle: Obtain adequate exercise. Minimize exposure to color-television sets and increase the distance from the set. Minimize exposure to fluorescent lighting. |

The caloric needs of a breast-feeding woman are even higher than during pregnancy. An extra 400 to 500 calories per day above pregnancy requirements are needed. Most women should consume approximately 2,800 calories per day to meet the energy needs of breast-feeding.66 Therefore, under most circumstances, doctors discourage dieting (i.e., calorie restriction). |

See book keywords and concepts |  Keep in mind that taste is acquired and if you've been eating brands that contain chemical additives, especially artificial flavorings and high amounts of sodium, sugar, etc., your taste buds have acclimated accordingly and may be burned out to some degree. Whereas some of you may not be excited about the taste of a natural food brand counterpart when you first try it, over time you will acclimate to them and start enjoying them more and more. Eventually you will find the former foods offensive. This can take some time. | | Unfortunately, avoiding anti-nutrient pseudofoods essentially means staying away from all highly refined, processed and packaged foods containing chemical additives, including fast foods and much of the food served at chain restaurants. Fortunately, this is becoming increasingly easier to do because of the growing popularity of the health food, or natural foods, industry. |

See book keywords and concepts | | It also means avoiding foods and drinks and chemical additives that deplete your body's nutrition. A person really cannot have optimum nutrition unless they are carefully avoiding certain ingredients. Those ingredients include: white flour, which depletes the B vitamins from the human body, and refined white sugar or any refined grains, such as white rice or instant oatmeal. It also includes chemicals such as tobacco and nicotine, caffeine and food additives such as sodium nitrite. You also want to be avoiding hydrogenated oils and excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame. | | Nowhere does it talk about the dangers of refined grains, added sugars or chemical additives such as sodium nitrate, MSG, or artificial colors.
In fact, the USDA Food Guide Pyramid is a travesty of nutrition. Only a fool would follow it. But it certainly has served its original purpose which was of course, to promote the financial interests of various farmers and food producers in the United States. And that's how this Food Guide Pyramid should be looked upon by intelligent consumers: pure marketing propaganda. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Since then, I have learned how to avoid MSG and other chemical additives as much as possible. As a result, I have not had a migraine headache or any of the other severe symptoms associated with what many refer to as MSG syndrome, except on rare occasions when I have inadvertently ingested this toxic substance at a restaurant or social gathering. Because I am now able to recognize my symptoms as being caused by the ingestion of MSG, I am able to take appropriate and effective action in remedying the acute reaction. | | They also now include a host of other chemical additives (such as preservatives and artificial colorings), the number and amounts of which have increased right along with them. In addition to artificial flavors and chemical flavor enhancers, raising the sugar, salt, oil and poor-quality fat content is another profitable way companies have increasingly used to enhance the flavor factor, and the subsequent dz's-ease causing factor of their foods as well.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, added sugar in processed pseudofoods has increased by 30% since 1983. |

See article keywords and concepts | | You have to read the ingredients and learn to know the difference between natural ingredients vs. chemical additives like "autolyzed yeast extract" or "hydrolyzed vegetable protein." Believe it or not, companies can even put MSG in a product and call it "natural flavors." I'm not kidding. (Search Google for Dr. Russell Blaylock or "excitotoxins" to learn more about the disastrous health effects of MSG...)
The food companies have learned that they can slap the word "natural" on any product and more people will buy it, even if there's nothing natural about it. |

A peek at the ingredients label of many breads claiming a whole grain status list white refined flour as the first ingredient. Many have added sugar as well. Mother Nature doesn't put labels on her foods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Most food companies have chemical laboratories where thousands of chemical additives are researched and tested. These laboratories are in secret locations and have tighter security than CIA headquarters. The objective is to make the food physically addicting, make the food increase your appetite, and make the food actually cause you to gain weight. Food manufacturers, specifically fast food, are knowingly putting chemicals in the food that increase your appetite, make you physically addicted and make you fatter. |

The average American ate 2 pounds of chemical additives in food in 1960 and 10 pounds in 1978, a fivefold increase in less than 20 years. At the end of 1998, the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Everything Added to Food in the United States (EAFUS) Database contained information on more than 3,000 substances that were being added directly to what we eat. |

You can assess food combinations by holding them jointly during a test. Individual items can even remain in their separate containers. Samples that are strengthening individually may test weakening if held together, and vice versa. The test results can be influenced by what you have eaten beforehand. Also, when you are tired, fatigued, or sick, many foods are weakening that at other times are strengthening. |

See book keywords and concepts | | My taste buds and body chemistry have now reached a balanced, healthy internal state. On the very rare occasions that I happen to encounter one of these fake foods (usually at some unavoidable social gathering coupled with a very weak moment) and lose temporary sight of my sensibilities, my finely-tuned human machine immediately lets me know about it via a headache, brain fog, fatigue, irritability, gas, bloating or other unmistakable warning signal. I thank my body for reminding me why I don't want to run these foods through my system anymore! |
