 In the December 1998 fact sheets published on the official ADA internet website, where fats and the hydrogenation of oils is discussed, there is no mention of the trans fatty acids formed by this process. Advertisements in this organization's journal are predominantly for processed foods.

Place the chopped onion and carrots into a pot with the water and simmer, covered, over medium heat until the carrots can be easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
Roast the peppers by placing them over an open gas flame or directly under the broiler until the skin is completely blackened. Place in a bowl, cover, and let stand about 15 minutes. Slip the charred skin off with your fingers, then cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds.
Blend the carrot mixture along with the peppers in several small batches. |

| Miso Soup 101
I developed a fondness for miso soup from eating at Japanese restaurants. It is easy enough to make, but not as simple as I initially thought. The first time I decided to try making it at home, I mixed a package of miso with a cup of boiling water. It didn't quite turn out like the miso soup I was served at the restaurant. I then set out to learn how to make it taste delicious at home. Here are the fruits of my labor. |
| Greens and More produced by the Solgar Company Earth Source. Considering that a head of broccoli costs approximately $2.00, the cost of supplementation doesn't seem very expensive; but keep in mind that the actual broccoli also provides additional calories for energy, fiber, and some vitamins and minerals that are missing from the supplements.
There is also a large assortment of products referred to as "green foods" in health-foods stores. Nature's Plus makes a product called Green Lightning, which is a whole-food concentrate of young barley plants. |

 But soft drinks are far from soft. High in phosphorous and phosphoric acid, they infiltrate bodily fluids and corrode stomach linings, upset the alkaline-acid balance of the kidneys, and eat away at your liver like Hannibal Lecter. Soft drinks also contain hidden caffeine, refined sugar, and artificial chemicals.

With the custom-coffee trend showing no sign of slowing down, caffeine has become a billion-dollar industry, ranking right up there with sodas and sweets. |

 Bingham et al. (1979) calculated average intakes of nutrients by populations in different regions of Great Britain. They found no significant association of fat intake with mortality from colon and rectal cancers. Lyon and Sorenson (1978) also reported little difference in fat intake between the population of Utah (with a low risk for colon cancer) and that of the United States as a whole.
The contrast between the strong international correlations and the lack of associations within countries is striking. |

| To guard against the possibility of any asthmatic attack during the night, an enema was used each night before the child was put to bed, but this was soon discontinued, as it was apparent in a very few days that there would be no return of the gas pressure. This diet was kept up for several months, and the child is now eating normally ( a well-balanced diet).
An 82-year-old Army veteran had suffered with asthma ever since the war, and had been living for many years in a Soldier's Home—much of the time confined to bed. |

| The 1985 per capita daily consumption of food additives is approximately 13-15 g, with the total annual consumption of food colors alone being approximately 100 million pounds for the entire population.2 The hypothesis that food additives induce hyperactivity, commonly referred to as the "Feingold hypothesis", stemmed from the research of Benjamin Feingold MD.
According to Feingold, many hyperactive children, perhaps 40-50%, are sensitive to artificial food colors, flavors, and preservatives and to naturally occurring salicylates and phenolic compounds. |

 Trans-fatty acids (e.g., margarine, candy, bakery products, french fries, peanut butter, etc)
Over 30 years ago, Dr. Barnes (recalled from Chapter 2) recognized the importance of adequate amounts of fat in the diet. Dr. Barnes knew that fat was a vitally important nutrient for a properly functioning thyroid gland. Dr. Barnes described how a diet low in fat would often produce symptoms of hypothyroidism.6
It has been my experience that inadequate intake of the good fats will result in thyroid abnormalities, including hypothyroidism. |

 Typical dosage: tea throughout the day as needed (steep 1V2 teaspoons of dried leaf in 1 cup of hot water for 15 minutes),- or a few drops of essential oil in hot water for steam inhalation.
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana)
This condiment gives you that welcome sensation of instant sinus relief. Both regular ground horseradish and a dab of Japanese wasabi work well, but start with small amounts and work up. Caution: Use these condiments carefully if you have ulcers or other digestive problems. |
| Caution: Do not use peppermint internally if you have heartburn or esophageal reflux.
Psyllium (Plantago ovata)
The seed husks from this plant have a long history of use by herbalists and medical doctors alike for the treatment of constipation and recurrent diarrhea. Psyllium is rich in fibers similar to those found in oat bran, flaxseed meal, and guar gum. These fibers form a soft bulky material that gently regulates peristalsis. |

 Dip a perio-aid—a wooden toothpick with a plastic handle—into the solution and gently clean the crevice that surrounds each tooth by inserting the toothpick parallel to the tooth, as if you were cleaning your cuticles. Gently work below the gum line on each tooth, being careful not to tear the gum tissue. Do this every evening before going to bed, recommends Dr. Verigin. This type of cleaning is not painful, but the first few cleanings may be uncomfortable if your gums are inflamed, he says. |

| One disadvantage of this type of study, especially in relation to breast and gastric cancer, is that current dietary factors are usually correlated with current information on incidence and mortality, whereas a more appropriate time relationship might be established by taking dietary information recorded some 20 or 30 years ago and correlating it with current incidence or mortality rates (Miller et al., 1980).

(1973) and MacMahon et al. (1981) found no association between pancreatic cancer and alcohol consumption. Wynder et al. (1973) did find a direct association with early-onset diabetes in women, and MacMahon at al. (1981) reported a direct association with coffee consumption and a dose-response gradient for women only. Lin and Kessler (1981) also noted a greater consumption of decaffeinated coffee by cases than by controls. |

 And at the time of Dr. Olney's report, even baby foods contained relatively large doses of MSG. Mothers, unaware of the danger to their children, were delighted to see their little ones eating so well. Because MSG and hydrolyzed protein are such powerful taste enhancers, they make most foods, even the bland ones, taste scrumptious.
The discovery by Dr. Olney was particularly important because the hypothalamus plays such an important role in controlling so many areas of the body. |

| In about a month, the patient was so recovered that he was able to climb Mount Wilson, Mount Lowe and Camp Baldy, three of the highest points in Southern California, on successive days. His lungs were entirely free from any tendency to wheeze, and the trouble has never reappeared since at any time of the day or night (for six years), avoiding gas-producing foods. He can now even eat gassy foods, by combining them with other foods (nonstarchy) which counter the effect, relieving pressure on the diaphragm, which caused his trouble in the first place. |

 The small amounts of sodium or of trans-fatty acids that occur naturally in food pose no health hazard. It is the addition of sodium chloride to food that raises the sodium concentration to levels that are unsafe for many people. High-sodium foods are those that taste salty or that contain sodium chloride as an ingredient, listed on the food's label. Most trans-fatty acids enter our diets from the addition of partially hydrogenated oils, which are usually listed on the label. |
