 Eating organic meat is probably even more important than eating organic fruits and vegetables. There has been a second reported case of Mad Cow Disease in Canada. This is significant because I can assure you that if there have been two reported cases of Mad Cow Disease, that means that there are thousands and thousands of cows that have Mad Cow Disease that have not been reported. I believe that cows in America have Mad Cow Disease and are not being reported. The information is being suppressed and hidden from you. |

 Actually, this mixture is made from "junk" vegetables that are unfit for sale. They are especially selected so as to have naturally high contents of glutamate. The extraction process of hydrolysis involves boiling these vegetables in a vat of acid. This is followed by a process of neutralization with caustic soda. The resulting product is a brown sludge that collects on the top. This is scraped off and allowed to dry. The end product is a brown powder that is high in three known excitotoxins—glutamate, aspartate, and cystoic acid (which converts in the body to cysteine). |

 This statement sounds a bit ominous. Colon cancer, historically one of the first cancers said to be prevented by a plant-based diet,43-45 now is being said to be unrelated to diet? And low-fat diets don't prevent breast cancer? With results like these, it's only a matter of time before the hypothesis of a dietary connection to cancer starts falling apart. In fact, I have already heard people within the scientific community beginning to say that diet may have no effect on cancer. |

 Carbohydrate is the main nutritional component of all fruits, vegetables, and grains. To infer that only saturated fat raises blood cholesterol is grossly inaccurate and misleading. Some foods raise blood cholesterol more than others. Some have little or no effect depending on many metabolic factors. Medium-chain saturated fatty acids, like those found in coconut oil, are burned up immediately to create energy and, therefore, have a neutral effect on blood cholesterol!
PLATELETS AND BLOOD CLOTS

| I ate what I considered a good diet—low in fat, lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. But I noticed as I was approaching my mid-forties my level of energy was decreasing rapidly. Even modest amounts of yard work became a drudgery. After a couple of hours I came in exhausted and it took me two days to recover. By 8:00 p.m. every day I was exhausted, even though I have a desk job. I found myself going to bed earlier and earlier. Life was slowing down and I missed the energy I once had. I assumed that what I was experiencing was just the consequence of growing older and left it at that. |

| Claims about Peaches 30ab'41
According to the USDA, peaches contain more residues than any other domestic or imported fruits or vegetables.30a'b'41' 42,142 jn another report, however, strawberries have been reported to be the most pesticided of all fruits.38
Twenty five to 40% of peaches contain a level of pesticides that exceeds the EPA safe pesticide limit for one day. This can be true for a single United States grown unpeeled and unwashed peach.27a'c'113'153 For a 25 pound child this can mean about three bites of a highly pesticided peach can be too much. |

 Carbohydrates are the main fuel source for the body. There are two main categories of carbohydrates: complex and simple. Simple carbohydrates are fast releasing. They include sugar, honey, sweeteners, and refined grains (white refined flour or rice). In addition to causing weight gain, they can wreak havoc on your blood sugar, causing your energy to spike, then drop dramatically, which can lead to a host of other adverse health conditions. Consequently, simple carbohydrates are best kept to a minimum. |

 One of spring's first vegetables, asparagus is related to onions, garlic, and other plants in the lily family.
Buying Tips
Only the young green shoots or spears of asparagus are eaten. The spears should be bright green, perfectly straight, firm, and brittle, with tips that are tight, compact, and pointed. Avoid any that are very thin or very thick, as these will tend to be tough and stringy, and any with open, wilted, shriveled, or yellowing tips. Unless you plan to eat

| The vegetable can also be added to light soups or mixed with other vegetables. Try it as a substitute in your favorite spinach recipes. Although the odot of the cooking leaves is rather strong, the leaves themselves have a mild, delicate flavor. Take care not to overcook them, or the stems will become somewhat gelatinous.
Health Benefits
The leaves are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as being a good source of calcium and iron.

Cabbage is not the most glamorous of vegetables. It refuses to draw attention to itself, either in the garden, on the shelf, or on a plate. However, the economical cabbage has a crisp texture and strong flavor. Raw cabbage can be cut into wedges for an appetizer or shredded for salads, with leafy types torn like lettuce rather than shredded. Cabbage can also be steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or made into the infamous German sauerkraut or Russian cabbage soup. |
| This family of vegetables also mildly stimulates the liver and other tissues out of stagnancy. A recent study found that one ounce of broccoli sprouts contains more isothiocyanate, a potent anticarcinogenic, than two pounds of broccoli. This study from Johns Hopkins University was released in September 1997, and within three months broccoli sprouts were selling fast in U.S. markets. Despite their bitter tang, broccoli sprouts make a tasty addition to salads and sandwiches. |

| It means soaking beans ahead of time and allowing time to cut up vegetables in the morning. Needless to say, it's well worth the effort. þCook batches of at least double what you or your family can eat in one meal. Making double or triple batches means that you'll be able to enjoy an evening or weekend off somewhere down the road. You can save leftovers for the next day or freeze a batch for later use. Cook grains and beans in large quantities too. Package them in meal-sized portions and freeze, or plan a couple of different dishes using them as a base. |

 Lycopene is a deep-red pigment, found in tomatoes and other pink-red fruits and vegetables. It has a simple acyclic structure, and is considered the prototype molecule for the carotenoid family. lycopene—an acyclic carotenoid
Lycopene is one of the most widely consumed carotenoids; however, it lacks provitamin A activity. Through cyclisation at one or both end groups of lycopene, carotenes are formed, containing one (8 and y carotenes) or two (a and p carotenes) ionone rings. Vitamin A {a\\-trans-retmol) consists of a (3-ionone ring with a side chain of three isoprenoid units. |

 Comparisons were drawn between such forced drug treatment and the medical experiments of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, all of which led Florida senator Edward Gurney to conclude: "Most horrifying of all in this psychiatric chamber of horrors were the many accounts of the forcible administration by KGB psychiatrists of chemicals which convert human beings into vegetables."12
Over the next few years, Soviet dissidents published further details of this "chamber of horrors." Aminazine and haloperidol were the two neuroleptics most commonly used to torment them. |

| Over-consumption is less likely with whole meat and fish, fruit and vegetables. It is more of a problem with the grains and nuts and seeds. Sugar is one of the major factors, as are the commercial fats and oils. Natural foods are more bulky, have to be chewed longer and cannot be eaten as quickly so it is less possible to overload the system. Prepared foods from ground and refined grains are usually combined with sugar, fat, and other additives. It is very easy to over-eat bakery goods. |

| Mills and Bone 2000). Many vegetables, including spinach, tomatoes and asparagus as well as legumes (especially soya beans), are rich in saponins—it is quite possible they also help reduce plasma cholesterol in this way. Saponins may also have liver-protecting effects—soyasaponins and kudzusaponins from kudzu root have been shown to be hepatoprotective in rodents (Arao et al. 1998).
Numerous triterpenoid saponins have been shown to inhibit pathogenic fungi, for example monodesmosides a and f3 hederin from the common ivy {Hedera helix). |

 Lorgeril and his colleagues asked patients to follow a Mediterranean-style diet, high in fish, vegetables, and olive oil, or to continue eating their usual diet. People eating the Mediterranean-style diet were 50 to 70 percent less likely to have a second heart attack during the four-year study. They also had less than half the risk of developing cancer or dying from any natural cause.
In 2001 Canadian researchers reported that Eskimos who adhere to their traditional diet experience relatively little heart disease. |

| Although beef industry officials were relieved to learn that fruit and vegetables could also be sources of E. coli Oi57:H7, meat products continued to cause outbreaks and unfavorable press. The USDA responded to the Odwalla outbreak by extending its generic E. coli testing requirements to include meat from goats, ducks, geese, and other animals but, in accordance with provisions of the old laws governing such matters, only after the animals had arrived at slaughterhouses.31
Limitations on USDA authority became even more evident as a result of yet another E. |

Sad to say, ever more forests are felled in the tropics to make way for grazing. In the more temperate zones, the land is shrinking by desertification and water diverted from once vibrant rivers and water tables. Meanwhile, huge pig farms in the Midwest and Southeast are springing up. According to the Sierra Club, one of these produces as much sewage each day as the city of Los Angeles. |

3 squares of butter.
1 serving of oatmeal, whole-wheat, or other whole-grain cereal, additive-free, with 1 teaspoonful of undefatted wheat germ. Pancakes or waffles from good recipes—not commercial mixes—may be substituted. Whole or nonfat milk, added as you choose. |
| At luncheon or dinner, one level teaspoon of butter may be used on your vegetables. Lemon juice may be substituted for salad dressing when you wish to use two teaspoons of butter on vegetables. Don't make this a ritual—the vegetable oils convey nutrients you need, which butter doesn't supply.
APPETITE BRAKES
Avoid soups: they are optional anyway, and tend to stimulate appetite. Use a few protein tablets, available at health food stores, if appetite presses you between meals. Choose a brand low in carbohydrate, high in protein. |
