He also recommends coconut oil because of its high content of lauric acid, a natural antimicrobial. The only dairy products he recommends are the highest-quality cultured dairy products from sheep or goats (yogurt). "I wish I could tell you that I see people get completely off medications 100 percent of the time using this kind of dietary approach," Brasco says, "but I see it at least 10 percent of the time. And that tells me there's a significant subset of the population who responds unbelievably well to this intervention.

Three ounces of vegetable glycerin is added, and the resulting mixture is stored in a bottle in the refrigerator. Up to 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of the liquid may be given every 30 minutes to a colicky infant or given 15 minutes before feeding.14 Several other gas-relieving herbs used in traditional medicine for colic are approved in Germany for intestinal spasms.15 These include yarrow (page 763), garden angelica (Angelica arch angelica), peppermint (page 726), cinnamon (page 659), and fumitory (Fumaria officinalis).

Whole fruit and fruit and vegetable juice, which are high in potassium, are also recommended by some doctors; however, rhis dietary change should be discussed with a healthcare provider, because several drugs given to people with CHF may actually cause retention of potassium, making dietary potassium, even from fruit, dangerous. Taurine (page 590), an amino acid, helps increase the force and effectiveness of heart-muscle contractions. Research (some double-blind) has shown that taurine helps people with CHF12,13'14'15 Most doctors suggest taking 2 grams three times per day.

Felicity Lawrence, author of Not on the Label, points out that consumers are often misled by the 'vegetable oil' tag on food labelling: 'They know they have to cut down on saturated fat, so they see chicken nuggets as healthier than beefburgers. But they are just as bad.' In terms of children's health, trans-fats may be even worse than saturated fats. The fatty acids in trans-fats don't lubricate the brain in the way natural fatty acids do - in fact, they may actually inhibit brain function.

Some of the factors to consider when designing a diet for an individual with insulin resistance include age, underlying disease or metabolic conditions, activity level, vegetable content of the diet, and types of dietary fat and carbohydrates consumed. Epidemiological evidence suggests increased consumption of saturated and total fat and decreased intake of fiber are associated with insulin resistance as well.

Even smaller microgram doses of vegetable source lithium might help to prevent mood disturbances and violent tendencies. Safety Nutritional doses of lithium will not increase blood levels like the carbonate form. However, nutritional doses can increase the concentration of lithium in the hair. All forms of lithium (except small microgram doses) can potentially increase the excretion of sodium from the kidneys and lead to sodium depletion. For this reason, anyone supplementing with lithium should not be on a salt-restricted diet.

Asians eat much less animal protein, much more vegetable protein, ingest about 500 mg of calcium daily, and do not have osteoporosis as a major problem. When Asians resettle in North America, within a short period of time, they develop heart disease, certain cancers, osteoporosis, and other health conditions due to the adoption of unhealthy, high-tech dietary habits. Recent reviews of the research literature suggest that a combination of calcium and vitamin D will reduce the ravages of osteoporosis. Dr R.

Many years ago, use of large amounts of vegetable oil (containing precursors to GLA) was reported to help treat people with eczema,20,21 but these studies were not controlled and do not meet modern standards of research. Ten grams of fish oil (page 514) providing 1.8 grams of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) per day were given to a group of eczema sufferers in a double-blind trial. After 12 weeks, those using the fish oil experienced significant improvement.

Beverages conducive to adrenal recovery include good quality water, herbal teas, green tea, fresh organic vegetable juices, and alternatives to dairy (if food allergy is present), such as nut milks, rice milks, and soy milk. All stimulants should be avoided including caffeine, ephedrine, nicotine, and cocaine. Soft drinks should be avoided due to the high amounts of sugar, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. Goat's milk and goat's milk products can be used as an alternative to dairy products if it is shown that an allergy is restricted to dairy products from cows.

Seaweed therapy with a strong fresh green vegetable diet, particularly chickweed, dandelion, parsley, spinach, and beet greens, seems to be the best. Brassicas are probably best kept to a minimum because of their known goitrogenic activity. I usually recommend reduction to little or no flour products in an effort to reduce erratic iodine intake and to reduce bromine intake, as well as reduce the hyperglycemia that often accompanies the eating of flour products and simple sugars. It is also recommended to eliminate sugars except in fresh fruit.

The larger, more expensive vegetable soybeans are preferred for making whole soy foods over the smaller, more widely available field beans, which are split into oil and meal. Food beans were bred to have a lighter seed coat, a higher protein level and a lower oil content. In the United States, all commercial beans are yellow or tan, as other colors are excluded by grading standards.2 Japanese manufacturers prefer large soybeans with a high protein content for tofu production, but round small beans with a soft texture for natto.

Over 500 varieties of avocados are grown throughout the world but only seven are grown commercially in California. Bacon, Fuerte, Gwen, Pinkerton, Reed, Zutano, and Hass are the main types seen in most grocery stores in the United States. A small percentage of avocados consumed in the United States are imported from Mexico, Chile, and the Caribbean or come from the states of Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, and Texas, but California accounts for over ninety percent of all avocado consumption (and the Hass in particular) in America.

Unless he eats much fish, unroasted nuts, or vegetable oils, it's wise to add a little 'essential fatty acid' such as flaxseed oil or perhaps cod-liver oil. Seems to help the zinc work better. Also, make sure there's vitamin A, not just beta-carotene, in Jason's multiple vitamin." "Any special amounts?" "For now, 15,000 to 25,000 IU of vitamin A.

"And those are . . . ?

Also, we threw every bit of sugar, refined carbohydrate, hydrogenated vegetable oil, and food chemicals out of the house," Rebecca said. "Monica told me you recommend doing that no matter what the problem is, and also just for staying as healthy as possible." "Absolutely!" I replied. "None of those items have any place in healthful diets." "Takes some getting used to, but since we did, I've felt less tired," David observed. "Let's check Bobby over, and then have lab tests done, with your permission, of course," I said. "That's what we brought Bobby here for," David replied.

To prevent oxidation of the fatty acids in nuts and vegetable oils, these foods should be stored in airtight containers and kept refrigerated. Oxidized cholesterol is also considerably more dangerous than cholesterol itself. In animal studies, ingestion of pure cholesterol produced no significant adverse effects, whereas even tiny quantities of oxidized cholesterol caused serious damage to blood vessels.' Oxidized cholesterol forms during high-temperature cooking of foods such as meat, milk, eggs, and butter. Cooking these foods at lower temperatures is probably safer for the heart.

Most soybeans are harvested at the dry, mature stage, with only a very small proportion at the immature vegetable stage.3 Since the early 1990s, the U.S. share of soybean production has declined from about 50 percent to 35.6 percent, with increased production bringing Brazil up to 29.4 percent and Argentina to 17.4 percent. China produces only 7.8 percent of the world's soybean crop. Soybeans in the United States are primarily grown in the northern Midwestern states from Ohio to Kansas and South Dakota, in southern states along the Mississippi River and in the southeastern states.

From the mid '60s through the '80s, the message was to eat polyunsaturated vegetable fats and to avoid bad saturated fats. When the bad news about trans fatty acids (TFAs) could no longer be hidden, the message in the '90s changed for us to eat good fats (olive oil, fish) and to avoid bad fats (saturated and trans fats). Contrary to popular opinion and despite all the confusing messages and warnings, healthy fats are essential to optimal health and do not make you fat.

The more a cell membrane is made up of French fries, potato chips, fried fats, trans fats, and vegetable oils, the more likely it is to become inflamed. Inside cells, the anti-inflammatory defense is based on antioxidants. As soon as a cell runs too low on antioxidants, the cell dies. End of game—no second chance. This is why excess inflammation either causes or is a major contributing factor to all diseases of aging, essentially accelerating the onset of death.

Do not cook eggs in vegetable oils, because heat makes the delicate oils rancid. The safest cooking oils are coconut oil, olive oil, and butter. Avoid eating only the whites, because your body needs the yolks in order to properly absorb and digest the wonderful attributes the eggs offer. The Truth: cholesterol is primarily elevated by the over consumption of sugars and foods that convett to sugar rapidly, including fruit juices and other sweet drinks. Organic eggs are a near perfect food that should be a staple in your diet. Myth #5—Coffee Is Good for You.

Most of the vegetable oils sold in supermarkets are either 100 percent soy oil or a blend of soy oil with corn, cottonseed and other cheap oils. There's nothing natural about them. Soybeans don't willingly or easily give up their oil. The only economical way to obtain it is to use a complicated high-tech process that includes grinding, crushing and extracting, using high temperature, intense pressure and chemical solvents such as hexane. During these processes, the oil is exposed to light, heat and oxygen, all of which damage the oil by creating free radicals.

Historians believe that as early as the 15th century, the Chinese were cultivating fruit and vegetable gardens on board their large 'junk' ships during voyages of discovery that may have taken them as far afloat as Africa and North America. During this period, Admiral Zheng led a series of voyages, involving more than 300 ships and nearly 30,000 men. Largely because of their diet, these sailors did not suffer from the symptoms of scurvy that plagued the European crews on board the ships led by Ferdinand Magellan and Sir Francis Drake during their voyages of discovery.
