Any agency that openly states "vegetable juice will be regulated as a drug" has quite simply lost its marbles. We're are now clearly being regulated by clinically insane bureaucrats. With this desperate proposal by the FDA -- clearly designed as a last-ditch effort to save the failing conventional medical industry from a massive public shift towards natural medicine -- the war against health freedom has reached our shores, and the FDA is plotting a 9/11-style attack to bring down the towers of health freedom in one swift motion.

The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell Joseph Campbell See book keywords and concepts

This realization can expand into a discovery that beneath the multitudinous individualities of the whole surrounding universe—human, animal, vegetable, even mineral—dwells identity; whereupon the love experience becomes cosmic, and the beloved who first opened the vision is magnified as the mirror of creation. The man or woman knowing this experience is possessed of what Schopenhauer called "the science of beauty everywhere." He "goes up and down these worlds, eating what he desires, assuming what forms he desires," and he sits singing the song of universal unity, which begins: "Oh, wonderful!

In the end all life, human and animal, and all the vegetable seeds, will be forced to seek shelter in the Ganges, in miserable caves, and in the sea. The descending series will terminate and the "ascending" series (utsarpini) begin, when the tempest and desolation will have reached the point of the unendurable. For seven days then it will rain, and seven different kinds of rain will fall; the soil will be refreshed, and the seeds will begin to grow.

A diet composed mostly of saturated fat, animal fatty acids, and trans fatty acids (from margarine, shortening, and other sources of hydroge-nated vegetable oils), and high in cholesterol, results in membranes that are much less fluid in nature than the membranes in a person who consumes optimum levels of unsaturated fatty acids. Without a healthy membrane, cells lose their ability to hold water, vital nutrients, and electrolytes. They also lose their ability to communicate with other cells and be controlled by regulating hormones including insulin.

Insoluble fiber such as wheat bran, corn bran, and vegetable fibers increases the volume and viscosity of foods and moderately reduces the glycemic impact of carbohydrates. Soluble fibers such as oat bran, psyllium, and legume fiber, on the other hand, absorb more water and tend to have a greater influence on a food's volume, viscosity, and glycemic impact. Eating an abundance of fiber-rich foods, especially those high in soluble fiber, is central to the success of the Hunger Free Forever program.

Strike a pose! BodyWorlds exhibit features human bodies preserved with industrial food chemicals (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It looks like a mass of roots from a large garden vegetable, turned upside down and colored red. Your heart pumps 1.5 liters of blood through your liver every minute! If that's not a reason to give up eating toxic chemicals, I don't know what is. One more note about this exhibit: Most of the bodies were really small. It's not like they routinely used volunteers who were six feet tall and weighed 240 pounds. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of the bodies in the exhibit were actually hobbits. Some aren't even five feet tall. At one point, I wondered if some of the bodies were children.

This ingredient is hidden in lots of other food ingredients such as yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed vegetable protein and so on. This chemical interferes with the normal healthy function of your endocrine system. That's the system that regulates appetite in your body. When this system isn't functioning correctly, your body never knows when you've eaten enough, so it never turns off your appetite and you continue to eat and eat and eat. Weight loss can be achieved quite easily through the re-mineralization of your body.

Indeed, the association between fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain intakes and reduced risk of disease is often stronger than the association between intakes of their nutrient components (such as fiber, vitamins and minerals, or carotenoids) and risk. The reasons for this are not well understood, but they might include unmeasured food components, interactions among the components within a food, and inaccurate composition data for the components.

Furthermore, according to the 1999-2000 NHANES survey [204, 205], Americans are consuming far less than the nationally recommended amounts of fruit, vegetable, fiber, calcium, magnesium, and potassium—all of which are key components of the DASH dietary pattern. Clearly, implementing dietary and lifestyle modifications is challenging. Lessons learned from past research indicate that behavioral intervention programs that result in successful behavior change are generally rooted in social cognitive theory [207] and techniques of behavioral self-management [208].

The combined GSTp-1 and GST T-l null genotypes and high cruciferous vegetable intake [222] were associated with a 57% decrease in risk, supporting the idea that combinations of risk factors are needed in order to detect changes in risk. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in the conversion to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the major circulating form of folate in the body and the primary methyl donor for the methylation of homocysteine to methionine. This enzyme is also key in the methylation process of DNA.

It's the only vegetable source recognized by the UN Food Association as a complete protein. Mike: That's a very good point. Leventry: It really is. Plus, most whole grains take a long time to cook, and then there's usually some processing that you have to do, but quinoa is a little sesame seed-looking grain that you cook in 15 minutes and it's ready to go. You can flavor it and use it with sweets, or you can flavor it for savory dishes. You can put in soy sauce, other flavorings and vegetables of all sorts. You can put meat in it and chicken and things like that.

REPPED: In the past, I jokingly said that broccoli might someday be banned as soon as the public begins to learn about the potent anti-cancer chemicals found in the vegetable. That’s because, as I jested, the FDA wouldn’t want people treating their own cancer with the anti-cancer medicines found in cruciferous vegetables.

Ben: Right, so all the health detriments that a traditionally grown vegetable might have, it's still not as bad as red meat. Mike: Absolutely. I'd take non-organic produce over packaged foods any day of the week, if I didn't have the funds or the choice of organic foods. Now, of course, I support organic foods very strongly. That's your best choice. But if you're on a tight budget and you need to make a choice, go with the non-organic fruits and vegetables.

THE SOY-LING OF AMERICA Between 77 and 79 percent of the vegetable oils consumed in America come from the soybean. This figure includes the bottled oil plus margarines, shortenings and other butter substitutes commonly made of soy oil.6 8 Soybean oil is the oil chosen for 90 percent of salad dressings, 72 percent of baking and frying fats, 88 percent of margarines and 76 percent of salad and cooking oils.

PULP FICTION Soy oil and other vegetable oils contain plant estrogens known as phytosterols. The FDA allows the food industry to add plant-derived sterols to margarines, spreads, salad dressings, yogurts and orange juice and even make a health claim for their cholesterol-lowering benefits. However, the sterols in these foods do not normally come from soy but from wood pulp. The most common sterols are beta-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol. Drug companies used them in the 1960s to manufacture human sex hormones.

Whole Animals that eat their prey will ingest all the available minerals, vitamins, and other food components whole. Carnivores often eat the internal organs first and later go after the muscle meats. With plant material, there is a tremendous difference nutritionally between the various fractions of that food.

Biodiversity is rapidly diminishing, especially agro-biodiversity, with a continual reduction in the number of animal breeds and vegetable varieties that have for centuries contributed to the sustenance of entire regions in a perfectly sustainable alliance between man and nature. Something must have gone wrong, because if we consider the problem of satisfying the primal need for food and analyze it over the long term, the hunger for production has done more harm than good.
