Fennel (1) is a biennial herb reaching up to two metres in height, with smooth, finely furrowed stems and finely divided feathery leaves with thread-like lobes.
The small yellow flowers occur in umbrella-shaped arrangements. The petals are shallowly notched and curve upward. The fruit is a longish ovoid, yellowish, double achene with darker longitudinal ribs. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In the early 1980s, Milorganite contained high levels of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, and the fertilizer bag carried a warning: "Do not use on vegetable gardens, other edible crops or fruit trees. Eating food grown on soil containing Milorganite may cause damage to health."27 Under current federal rules, however, most sludge products carry no such warning. Consumers are largely unaware that tens of thousands of acres, from Midwest dairy land to Florida citrus groves and California fruit orchards, are routinely "fertilized" with byproducts of industrial and human sewage. |

54. Choosing Your Morning Bread Spreads
Whether it's a bagel, muffin, or just plain toast, what you spread on it daily for flavor can influence your well-being for life. Since so many breakfast spreads are high in saturated fats, cholesterol, salt, sugar, and additives?and are eaten frequendy—discovering which ones are safest and healthiest for you is essential. | | Tocopherols The group of compounds (alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, eta, gamma, and zeta) that make vitamin E; obtained through the vacuum distillation of edible vegetable oils.
Topical Applied externally.
Toxicity The quality or condition of being poisonous, harmful, or destructive. Toxin An organic poison produced in living or dead organisms. Trans-fatty acids Artificial fatty acids produced by hydrogenation; although unsaturated, act like saturated fats and are unhealthy. Triglycerides Fatty substances in the blood.
Ulcer Sore or lesion on skin surface or internal mucous membranes. | | Keep in mind that trans-fats—fats that are produced when vegetable oils are partially hydrogenated to stiffen them for use as margarine or shortening—have been found to be potentially bad for the heart and arteries. See section 54.)
CONSUMER ALERT Dieters, anyone with cardiovascular or gastrointestinal concerns.
Low Sodium A low-sodium product can have no more than 140 mg per serving. This in itself is fine, but it can mislead consumers who are unaware that today's serving sizes might be much smaller than former ones, as is the case with many popular soups and snacks. | | FDA designation—they are aromatic vegetable substances that season and have no nutritional value. If the spice adds color, as in the case of paprika, turmeric, and saffron, it must either be listed by name or as "spice and coloring." Only garlic, onion, and celery seasoning, because they are considered food, must be specifically identified.
This sort of ambiguous labeling can be dangerous, especially for the more than thirty million Americans who are allergic to the tiniest amount of certain chemicals. | | If you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or a nursing mother, avoid products containing acacia or similar vegetable gums, particularly carrageenan (see section 87), gum tragacanth (fruit jellies, sherbets, and salad dressings), and carob or locust bean gum (flavorings for beverages, ice cream, baked goods, and gelatin desserts). See section 88 for safer trade-offs.

See book keywords and concepts |  This is the type of fat that's found in olive oil and, in smaller amounts, in corn, canola, and other vegetable oils. Research has consistendy shown that monounsaturated fat lowers levels of harmful LDL while simultaneously increasing levels of beneficial HDL.
EFAS AND IMMUNE FUNCTION
In the discussion of eicosanoids earlier in this chapter, we saw how the right balance of EFAs and eicosanoids can help support the immune system. It's not entirely clear how EFAs affect immunity; so far, the findings have been decidedly mixed. |
Cheryle R. Hart, M.D. Mary Kay Grossman, R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats, found in liquid vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds, do not have this negative effect, so these are the ones you can have more of. The exception is if they have been bydrogenated (hardened) or partially hydrogenated in processing, as in the case of margarines and shortening. This creates harmful products called transfatty acids. Transfatty acids can raise the "bad" type of cholesterol (LDL) and lower the "good" cholesterol (HDL). |

See book keywords and concepts |  The liquid may be water, tea, or, most commonly today, vegetable or fruit juice. In the early 1990s, a juicing phenomenon swept the country. Juicers (Figure 9) were marketed widely and sold everywhere for prices ranging up to $500 and more. Juice bars were the rage, replaced more recently by latte and exotic coffee bars.
Proponents of fasting recommend occasional regular short fasts, lasting two to five days, as part of a general health-maintenance regimen. | | For skin application, the oils are combined with a carrier medium, usually a vegetable oil, because the amount of essential oil required is so small.
The oils also may be inhaled with steaming water containing a few drops of an essence, or by using diffusers to spread steam containing an oil throughout a room. Because they are highly concentrated and therefore potentially toxic, the oils should not be taken internally.

Excessive consumption of unsaturated fats suppresses the thyroid.49 Since suppressed thyroid function leads to excessive estrogen relative to progesterone and these fats also have properties similar to estrogen, unsaturated fats have a twofold influence associated with gallbladder problems. | | Synthetic fats: margarine, partially Butter, preferably raw, organic hydrogenated oils, vegetable shortening, Mocha Mix, Olestra

Hot News
DHEA, a precursor to the hormones estrogen and testosterone, may be one factor that determines natural life span, since its production decreases with advancing age, reaching a low at maximum recorded age; a natural DHEA supplement is found in the wild yam. Also shown to decrease in the body with age are melatonin, a free radical scavenger, and the antioxidant coenzyme glutathione, both of which can be supplemented to good effect in the elderly. |

Other Foods and Supplements
Many of our patients have concerns about artificial sweeteners and salt intake. We also receive many questions about nutritional supplements. You'll find our answers in this section.
Artificial Sweeteners
Sugar has a high carbohydrate content. Therefore, high sugar intake will cause high spikes of insulin. |
Christian B. Allan and Wolfgang Lutz
See book keywords and concepts |  After all, people are much more closely related to a pig or cow than to a vegetable (well, most people, anyway!).
Another reason is that certain animals, known as ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, deer, antelopes), have bacteria in their stomachs that can make many essential vitamins and cofactors. Bacteria were the first organisms to inhabit the planet. They have the ability to make almost all the molecules from simple building blocks that they require for their existence. Higher life-forms lose the ability to make everything they need, so their food supply becomes more critical. |

Fine Dining
The most important thing to remember when you dine out is to enjoy yourself. | | Don't get confused by the carbohydrates that are found in many high-protein foods such as dairy products and vegetable proteins. These are not used in your body in the same way as other carbohydrates. Thus, these carbohydrates do not need to be considered when linking and balancing.
A one-ounce serving of a high-protein food is approximately the volume of two fingers. A two-ounce serving is approximately the volume of a deck of cards. |

Careful attention should also be paid to labelling! Never rely on remembering where a given drug is or what container it is stored in. The label should include the year it was harvested.
Containers with poisonous drugs must be clearly marked with the symbol so there won't be any danger of their being mistaken for some other drug therefore resulting in accidental poisoning. | | It grows in the wild from the eastern Mediterranean region to India and is used mainly as a vegetable and seasoning herb. It was popular with the Egyptians along with other ancient civilizations. Charlemagne included dill in a list of medicinal plants he thought ought to be cultivated, but in central Europe its cultivation dates only from the late Middle Ages. The fruits, which are collected when they turn brown and begin to ripen, and flowering stems are the parts used medicinally. | | The abovementioned related vegetable plants, mainly because of their vitamin content and pleasant bitter substances, are, moreover, important ingredients in a proper diet.
Chicory (1) is a tall herb, exuding a milky sap when bruised. It grows by waysides, the edges of fields, embankments and in waste places and may reach a height of over one metre, depending on the location. It has a spindle-shaped tap root (2) and basal rosette of leaves, saw-toothed with lobes curving toward the base, from which rises a stiff, angled stem. The five-segmented flowers are clustered in heads. | | In all probability it was developed by lengthy selective breeding from the Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus), which still grows wild in the Mediterranean region and has also been cultivated as a vegetable since ancient times. The leaves, which are odourless and have a bitter taste (Folium cynarae), are gathered during the flowering period. The constituents include the pleasant tasting glycosidic bitter principles cynarine and cynaropicrine, flavonoids with an anti-inflammatory action and tannins. | | Artichokes were known as a vegetable to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and in Rome they were an important item of the menu at feasts. Nothing is known about their cultivation in the
Middle Ages. It was not until the 15th century that they made their appearance in Italy and a century later in France. They eventually made their way also to central Europe, but there they are readily destroyed by frost.

See book keywords and concepts | | Add up to two tablespoons a day of cold-pressed vegetable oils and/or fish oils.
In addition, gain awareness of the fat content of foods without making it an obsession. Your goal is not to eliminate fat from your daily intake. That would be an impossible diet to maintain and would not be realistic for a lifetime of healthy eating. Begin choosing lower-fat items or limiting the amounts of higher-fat foods to those that will provide 3 grams of fat or less per serving.
Remember, any food that is labeled "low-fat" must contain less than 3 grams of fat per serving by law. |
Dr. Vern Cherewatenko and Paul Perry
See book keywords and concepts |  Saturated fat is found in animal and some vegetable products. To avoid these, you have to be a smart shopper and read food labels and the ingredients of foods you buy. Saturated fats show up most often in fast foods and such processed foods as commercial baked goods, cake mixes, cookies, crackers, coffee creamers, and snack foods. Even some oat bran cereals that gained popularity for their ability to lower cholesterol contain large amounts of saturated fat. |
Christian B. Allan and Wolfgang Lutz
See book keywords and concepts | | Animal foods tend to supply equal amounts of the two essential fatty acids, whereas vegetable oils typically contain predominantly one or the other of the essential fatty acids.
CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates are primarily used as an energy source. They are also often attached to proteins to enhance the recognition and specific transport properties of proteins. Some forms of carbohydrates are part of cartilage, and there are a few known carbohydrates that help eliminate toxins from the body.
To our knowledge, there has never been an essential carbohydrate discovered. |
Judith J. Wurtman and Susan Suffes
See book keywords and concepts |  You may eat about three hundred additional calories a day from the vegetable and fruit exchanges without interfering with weight loss. If you are accustomed to more protein you may increase the serving sizes by one ounce, preferably at breakfast, the meal that contains the largest quantity of protein for the day. After your body becomes accustomed to taking in fewer calories, follow the portion sizes on the plan. |
