In this way food processors may add proteins to their processed meat products; these "proteins" may come from old milk, decaying vegetables, or even pork blood. Since the USD A (U.S. Department of Agriculture) requires a certain minimal protein content in meat products, the use of hydrolyzed proteins or autolyzed yeast as "flavorings" is a cheap way of achieving the necessary proportion of protein content. For those consumers who wish to know if hydrolyzed protein always contains MSG, the answer is in the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 101.35.

Saying "I choose to eat vegetables instead of meat" is a different statement than "I am a vegetarian." "I am married to Sam" is different from saying "I am Sam's wife." In truth, we are not our religion, our profession, or our political party. During our lifetime we may align ourselves with certain philosophies, people, or practices, but if our spouse, job, religion, or philosophy were to change, we would still be our "self." Therefore, we need to be aware of the words we place after "I am." Who we think we are, or "our ego" is often what insulates us from an awareness of our inner self.

The second major problem with fructose is its ability to combine with amino acids to form advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs are believed to be permanent.

High intake of fructose contributes to increased levels of glycation in the body.

This program of bread, pasta, fruit, and vegetables works because fat interferes with the action of insulin while high carbohydrate foods intensify the action of insulin.

Allergies and food sensitivities must be considered when we discuss proteins because they can also play a major role in symptoms of AD/HD. These symptoms also interfere with good digestion and impede the effective delivery of amino acids into the system.

The only vegetables he would eat were baby carrots and peas. He did not like meat or chicken of any kind, but he would eat turkey rolls and cocktail wieners. The only fish the family ate were fish sticks, which both children seemed to enjoy. Ann noted that Justin drank an unusual amount of fluids, mostly fruit juices. These foods, in general, contain many additives and allergy-provoking substances. As my discussion of AD/HD unfolds, you'll see just how these items can greatly exacerbate AD/HD.

Many people don't even consider them vegetables, although that's what they are. Worse, they've earned a rather unsavory (yet deserved) reputation for their connection to flatulence. But beans are a marvelous food for good health and lasting youth. I believe that a good mixed-bean soup—spiced up with red (cayenne) pepper, cumin, garlic, ginger, onions, savory, and turmeric—can help prevent many of today's major killer diseases, saving more lives than pharmaceuticals can cure. At our house, we usually have a big pot of bean soup in the fridge.

On the other hand, a near-vegetarian, high-fiber diet—one featuring lots of fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans—can help prevent stones. Fiber really helps.

My only advice is to keep your portions small by dicing chicken into a vegetable medley, for example. Why seven of everything? Well, I came up with the program around the time of my 70th birthday, so seven seemed like a good number, one that would be easy to remember.

Human beings evolved on a diet comprised of about equal amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids—a ratio of about one to one, found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods. Over the past century there has been an enormous increase in the quantity of omega-6 fats in the human diet. The source of this increase has been vegetable oils processed from corn, sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, cottonseed, and soybeans. These oils are common ingredients in processed foods such as chips, breads, cookies, and soft ice creams, and are often used for cooking.

Autumn is the harvest season, and everything is available—fruits like apples, pears, persimmons, and grapes; melons, too; bushels of vegetables like corn, carrots, beets, all the squashes; lots of beans, seeds, grains and nuts are being gathered.

Table 1 summarizes the better-known consequences of such poor nutrition, not including vitamin deficiencies. Starred items are discussed in the paragraphs that follow.

These are replaced by more whole grains, legumes (mainly beans and peas), fresh fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. It also means replacing foods high in caloric density with foods of lower caloric density.
