Like most people, he used to eat his hamburgers with ketchup on a bun made from refined white flour.

Many of the basic grains and sugar containing plants are stripped of their fiber and nutrients, leaving the concentrated sweet or starch powder that can be used to make or flavor other foods. refined white flour and white sugar are the two basic components. These "new" foods often have additives and preservatives to allow for packaging, shipping, and "shelf life." They fit in with the mass production ideology and fast-paced lifestyles of not only the American culture but many other technological and urban cultures of the world. Rural peoples still tend to eat more basically and naturally.

And those are all essential to human health. refined white flour contains about 75 percent of the whole wheat kernels but less than half of their nutrients. Eating too much of refined grain products also increases consumption of the toxic mineral cadmium in relationship to zinc, as zinc is lost in the outer layers and cadmium, when it is present, is contained in the internal kernel, and so can lead to cadmium toxicity problems. (See discussion of Zinc and Cadmium in Chapter 6, Minerals.) Here are a few suggestions for using the grains and their by-products.

Unrefined or whole-wheat flours retain endosperm, bran, and germ, so they contain more fiber, minerals, and phytochemicals than refined white flour. The enriching that is a last step in the process—and that is typically marked on a package of bread—is, in white flour, partly a way of compensating for the nutrient loss of the milling and refining. In addition, enrichment fortifies the flour; that is, it adds specific amounts of iron and the B vitamins.

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. When the weather turns cold we tend to overheat our homes, creating dry, low-humidity air. Microorganisms (germs) multiply faster in your nasal passages when the humidity is low. When the heat goes on, a humidifier should go on with it. When you feel cold or flu symptoms, act immediately.

Avoid excessive sugar and refined white flour. 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 antihistamine-like activity and supports the adrenal glands).

We eat only one-fifth as much—a mere quarter of a pound and most of it made from highly refined white flour that is fiber-depleted. Natural laxatives like bran, which bulk up the stool instead of simply stimulating the bowel nerves as many over-the-counter drugs do, are safer and gentler. "Bran is the safest, cheapest and most physiological method of treating and preventing constipation," agrees W. Grant Thompson, M.D., gastroenterologist at the University of Ottawa, and author of the book Gut Reactions. "If...

Avoid consumption of fatty foods, all fried foods, all commercial oils, margarine and other hydrogenated oils, unsaturated oils with the exception of extra virgin olive oil, all refined sugars, and refined white flour. A high-fiber diet protects from gallbladder disease by binding cholesterol and bile salts, and decreasing intestinal transit time. A high-fiber diet can only be achieved with unprocessed, unrefined foods. We need at least 25 grams of fiber daily, with 35 grams being the optimal amount. Unfortunately, the typical American diet provides only six to eight grams of fiber daily.
