Interfering with appetite regulation through excitotoxins
The next thing that food companies do to promote obesity is adding chemical taste enhancers to their food. These are usually in the form of MSG (monosodium glutamate), but can also be found in other hidden MSG sources such as yeast extract or even Torula yeast extract. |

The American public is just now waking up to this reality. Study after study now shows the undeniable link between foods and disease. Unfortunately, our own government does not yet have the courage to tell the truth about the links between these food products and chronic disease. |

See book keywords and concepts | | But when it comes to creating refined white flour, the bran is conveniently removed. Then, if you want to get wheat bran into your diet, you have to make a point to purchase it separately or purchase products made from whole grain wheat.
Taking out the germ
The next thing that is removed from the wheat berry is the "germ". The germ is the nucleus of the berry. This is the part that contains the tiny leaves that will unfold and start capturing solar radiation once the seed has sprouted. The germ is rich in healthy oils. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The milling process that creates refined white flour also reduces nutritional content. The process, comprising upwards of twenty separate steps, removes the hull and parts of the bran from the kernels, then grinds the grain into powder-like flour. In making white flour, both the germ and the bran are stripped away from the wheat kernel, leaving only the endosperm. |

DAY 1
BREAKFAST 2 soft-boiled or poached eggs with 4 oz. spinach and 1 clove of raw garlic; add some seasonings for flavor (no seasoning is off-limits). Finish with a cup of iced green tea with lemon and Equal.
LUNCH 4-6 oz. sardines with 6 oz. soybeans, almonds, and cranberries. Add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil-balsamic vinegar dressing and some seasonings. Finish with iced tea with lemon and Equal.
DINNER 6-8 oz. lamb (seasoned with herbs) with 6 oz. | | So rather than a muffin, which is full of sugar and refined white flour, consider a piece of whole-grain bread with one slice of turkey breast, a tomato slice, and spinach. Walnuts and almonds are a good snack choice in small quantities.
Supplement your diet with an antioxidant formula. A quality formula contains vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and other substances that neutralize free radicals, which can cause cellular damage if left uncontrolled. Lastly, make sure to get enough sleep. When the body and mind are well rested, cravings for carbohydrates often vanish. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Refined white flour is generally listed on food packaging labels as "flour," "enriched flour," "unbleached flour," "durum wheat," "semolina," or "white flour." Breads containing only whole wheat are usually labeled "100% whole wheat."
Vegetarianism
Compared with meat eaters, most,15 but not all,16 studies have found that vegetarians are less likely to be diagnosed with cancer. Vegetarians have also been shown to have stronger immune functioning (page 255), possibly explaining why vegetarians may be partially protected against cancer. | | Refined white flour is generally listed on food packaging labels as "flour," "enriched flour," "unbleached flour," "durum wheat," "semolina," or "white flour." Breads containing only whole wheat are often labeled "100% whole wheat."
Tomatoes
Tomatoes contain lycopene (page 548)—an antioxidant (page 467) similar in structure to beta-carotene
(page 469). Most lycopene in our diet comes from tomatoes, though traces of lycopene exist in other foods. Lycopene inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells in test-tube research. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Refined white flour, on the other hand, stays on the shelves for months and even years without going bad. When you look at the economics of transporting food, putting food on the shelves and waiting for customers to buy it, it's a common sense idea that longer shelf life means greater profits and lower costs for consumers. So the shelf life is a huge factor when it comes to manufacturing foods. And if you take whole grain wheat berries and grind them up, you will reduce the effective shelf life of whatever foods are made from that ingredient. | | Our ancestors did not have an environment where they could just scoop up a handful of this refined white flour and consume it. As a result, they don't have metabolic systems designed to handle it. They were supposed to be eating whole grains and getting the vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein and essential fatty acids found in those whole grains.
Eaten with the whole grain, consuming the carbohydrate part of the grain is NOT harmful. That's why whole grains are so good for you even though you're still eating the endosperm carbohydrates section. | | But after avoiding all processed foods, soft drinks, refined white flour and so on, and then taking up a diet of healthy nutrition including superfoods, chlorella, spirulina, raw vegetables and fruits, nuts, whole grains, healthy oils, and so on, my body and my mind have been powerfully transformed.
Today I'm 185 lbs. I have fifteen more pounds of lean body mass than I've ever had. | | Studies have shown that more than 80% of children can be cured of ADHD by simply avoiding all processed foods, including soft drinks, added sugars, candy bars, refined white flour and other similar foods. ADHD is a brain chemistry imbalance caused by nutritional imbalances and it can be easily reversed in a matter of weeks by altering a child's diet. | | We feed our students refined white flour, added sugars, dead foods, processed foods, hydrogenated oils, and then we send them back to class and wonder why they can't learn or pay attention. Instead of giving them good nutrition, we as a nation just dose them up with Ritalin, a powerful narcotic that masks the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. What we need to do is feed our children foods and nutritional supplements that support stable blood sugar, optimum brain function and a positive learning environment. |

Vegetarianism
The following two possibilities are both strongly supported by research findings:
• Some foods consumed by vegetarians may protect against cancer.
• Eating meat may increase the risk of cancer.
Compared with meat eaters, most,11 but not all,12 studies have found that vegetarians are less likely to be diagnosed with cancer. |

I believe that there is a common factor that precedes or is coexistent with most body ills that afflict us. This common denominator is constipation. Definitions may differ but it is logical that if outgo does not equal intake - either in terms of quantity or in frequency - then constipation will occur and it can be the beginning of more serious physical problems. |

3. Avoid caffeine, which puts stress on the adrenal glands.
4. To treat asthma, you can try taking some or all of the following supplements, in addition to what is recommended in the Six Core Principles for Optimal Health:
• Vitamin C, 1,000 to 4,000 mg, three to four times a day (has antihista-mine-like activity and supports the adrenal glands). |

See book keywords and concepts | | But the common cold was unknown to the Eskimos before the white man went to the Arctic, bringing his refined white flour, sugar, and alcohol with him. And why do some people regularly get colds and flus and others seem immune? Maybe it has something to do with lifestyle. Bacteria and viruses are everywhere, all of the time, and those who have poor resistance because of their lifestyle choices are the ones most likely to end up sickened by them. As Louis Pasteur, the father of the germ theory, said on his deathbed: "The germ is nothing; the terrain is everything. |
Brenda Davis and Tom Barnard
See book keywords and concepts |  In North America more than 98 percent of all the flour we use is refined white flour.
Sugars, like white flour or white rice, are also refined carbohydrates. The key difference is that white flour is a starch or polysaccharide (a long chain of sugars bound together) and sugars are monosaccharides or disaccharides (mono, meaning a single sugar molecule and di, meaning two sugar molecules bound together). While most of us picture white table sugar when we hear the word "sugar," it is only one of several foods we use as sweeteners. |

In the place of refined white flour, substitute whole-wheat flour, rye flour, corn flour, oat flour, rice flour, or wholewheat pastry flour. In the milling process, white flour loses most of the nutrients the wheat orginally contained, and it promotes the secretion of excess mucus that can clog up the system. Therefore, it is best to eliminate white flour from your diet entirely. It is best to throw out all white, processed food products in your kitchen.
FRUCTOSE
Derived from fruits and honey, fructose is a form of sugar that is a better choice than processed white sugar. |

15. Try shiitake or reishi mushrooms with your veggies—the Chinese use them to bolster the immune system.
16. Take two droppersful of echinacea tincture or two capsules three times a day at the first sign of a cold or flu. Some people like the echinacea and goldenseal combination. Don't take it for more than two weeks in a row or your body will become desensitized to it.
17. If you have a late night or stressful day, balance things out by getting extra rest.

See article keywords and concepts |  They certainly won't say that red meat causes cancer and heart disease (thanks to lobbying efforts from the beef industry), nor that refined white flour causes nutritional deficiencies and blood sugar disorders (thanks to the grain growers associations). In fact, if you look at the USDA Food Guide Pyramid, it's really just a marketing piece -- a brochure for the food lobby. The foods that are most strongly recommended on the pyramid end up being those with the greatest lobbying budgets. In fact, the pyramid has no relevance whatsoever to good nutritional science. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Other Kraft Foods products are made with refined white flour, added sugars, chemical flavor enhancers such as monosodium glutamate, and carcinogenic preservatives such as sodium nitrite, artificial colors, and other ingredients that nutritionists and authors generally agree contribute to diseases like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and even nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Just like its parent Philip Morris, Kraft Foods strongly denies any link between its food ingredients and chronic disease. |

See article keywords and concepts |  But when companies ship refined white flour in large 50 lb. bags, they don't have to use any insecticide whatsoever. That's because if an insect gets into the bag of white flour and starts eating it, that insect will die from consuming it. White flour is a natural insecticide because it kills any insect that attempts to live off of it. |

See article keywords and concepts |  First off, they are usually manufactured with heavily refined, processed ingredients such as white flour. This refined white flour has had virtually all of its nutrition stripped away during the milling process, leaving only empty calories that have been shown to promote nutritional deficiencies and chronic diseases like colon cancer.
Processed foods are also typically made with large quantities of added sugars or other sweeteners. Many contain high-fructose corn syrup or common table sugar to add flavor. |
Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Binge foods commonly are made from refined white flour or sugar—foods such as sweets, pastas, and breads. Different theories have tried to explain the binge-food phenomenon. Some experts believe
Binge Eaters become anxious as a result of blood sugar fluctuations triggered by eating high-glucose foods. This anxiety leads to a cycle of binge-eating to relieve the condition.
Many Binge Eaters find that the only way to keep their appetite under control is by avoiding their binge food altogether. |
