| It does not matter who formulated the milk and how many vitamins were added, it is still a huge strain, as a baby was only designed for breast milk. Producing lactose-free milk is no solution as lactose is not the main problem. The main cause is one of the twenty-five protein fractions found in cow's milk and one of them is now known to cause juvenile diabetes. This is probably why diabetes is on the rise in the U.S. as we now have a nation of children raised on cow's milk and encouraged to drink it in large quantities. |

 Every time margarine was found wanting, the wanted nutrient could simply be added (Vitamin D? Got it now. Vitamin A? Sure, no problem). But of course margarine, being the product not of nature but of human ingenuity, could never be any smarter than the nutritionists dictating its recipe, and the nutritionists turned out to be not nearly as smart as they thought. |

 One study mentioned in the book Healing with vitamins describes this interaction:
"Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas found that a diet with 45 percent of calories from fat produced lower blood levels of triglycerides (a heart disease-promoting fat), glucose and insulin than a typical high-carbohydrate diet. People with diabetes who benefited most from this dietary switch: those with high triglycerides and low levels of 'good' cholesterol. |

"The results linking hot dogs and brain tumors (replicating an earlier study) and the apparent synergism between no vitamins and meat consumption suggest a possible adverse effect of dietary nitrites and nitrosamines.(20)
Peters, et al. studied the relationship between the intake of certain foods and the risk of leukemia in children from birth to age 10 in Los Angeles County between 1980 and 1987. The researchers found that children who ate 12 or more hot dogs per month had approximately nine times the normal risk for developing childhood leukemia. |
| In fact, studies have shown that some flavonoids possess up to 50 times more antioxidant activity than vitamins C and E - and those in red grapes are more than 1,000 times more powerful than vitamin E in inhibiting oxidation of human LDL cholesterol! The following are just some of the flavonoids you should at least know a little about because they can do a lot for your health! |

 As food moves through the small intestine, the nutrients (protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals) are absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. Left behind are nondi-gestible matter (dietary fiber), colon bacteria, and many dead cells that will soon become the stool. This material passes into the right side of the large intestine and is then moved to the left side by rhythmic contractions known as peristalsis. According to the well-known law of physics, the Law of Laplace, contractions at small diameters cause high pressures. |

 We seem to know a great deal about the vitamins and minerals that sustain our health, yet without water we would simply not be able to utilize any of these nutrients effectively. As our bodies are made up of approximately 60 percent water, it is perhaps the single most important nutrient. It is often the most neglected one, too. k/kp Do liU /Veed In/afar?

 Further studies are required investigating the effect of high-protein diets on CVD risk factors. Studies are needed with both plant and animal protein sources to determine whether their effects on CVD risk and risk factors differ. This information will be important for future dietary guidance about protein.
V. ALCOHOL
There is accumulating evidence demonstrating that moderate alcohol consumption reduces CHD risk, and the pattern of drinking has important implications for various CVD risk factors [188-190], clinical outcomes [191-194], and mortality [195-197]. |

| Aren't vitamins A, C and E enough?" The answer is simple. We can start with a comparison to vitamins. Where would we be if we stopped with vitamin A and vitamin B in 1915? Today we recognize 11 vitamins that are dietary essentials, and several more vitamin-like nutrients. For optimal health, we also need antioxidant nutrients and accessory factors such as carotenoids, bioflavonoids and lipoic acid. Foods contain thousands of beneficial compounds, and we should take advantage of those that will help us live better and longer. |

 It's important that you don't make the mistake of relying on isolated vitamins; eat whole food concentrates if you want to boost your antioxidant count, which will help protect you from sunburn.
Alternative food sources of vitamin D
If you can't get into a tanning booth, or don't want to, another alternative to sunlight is to find other sources of vitamin D. The best way to do that is to drink cod liver oil on a daily basis. A tablespoonful of cod liver oil would go a long way toward boosting your vitamin D count and protecting you from chronic disease. |

Robert Held, the president of the Wellness Support Network, found a way to grow food by feeding nutrients to microorganisms and then harvesting the microorganisms to make what he calls "FoodForm" supplements. Remember how fermented tofu is healthier than straight soy milk? Or how the friendly bacteria in yogurt make it healthier than straight milk? |

The WMD gift that keeps on giving
Why is depleted uranium (used on enemy targets by the U.S. military in the Middle East) not considered a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD)? Last time I checked my physics manual, radiation did not discriminate between enemy combatants and innocent children. It just sort of irradiates everyone. |

 What if they had some supergreens or just some basic vitamins, minerals and whole food concentrates? What could we do for the health of their brains?
They would have stable moods, they would have non-aggressive behavior, and they would be more creative and more willing to learn. We could raise a whole generation of healthy, intelligent children if we started with nutrition, because the brain and nervous system are physical organs. People forget that. |

Horner:Women can do many highly protective things. I always give the bad news first, and then everyone wants to know what you can do to stop this from happening. Actually, what the research shows is there is a tremendous amount of natural things that you can do.
Some of them are specific foods that you can consume like spices, herbs and supplements that have tremendous effect at either slowing down the growth of breast cancer or preventing it in the first place. |

 Second of all, if they were to send people home with vitamins, how would they stay in business performing surgical procedures that generate tens of thousands of dollars in revenues?

 This is because minerals are not manufactured by plants, whereas vitamins and phytonutrients are. When plants create such nutrients, they synthesize them through chemical and energetic processes that can only be called miraculous. But as capable as they are, plants do not create minerals. Minerals have to be absorbed through the soil, and if they are not present in the soil, then the plant's roots cannot take them up, and therefore they will not be present in the plant.
The nutritional and mineral profile of the plant ultimately depends on the mineral content of the soil. |

Mike: These are the people writing and voting on the Codex laws that will affect us all, correct?
John: They do not actually vote. They work by what they call consensus. The UN operates this way. It's a very strange process that makes a mockery of our whole system of representative government. I would go so far as to say that we should get out of the UN entirely, because it is a very clear threat to our sovereignty, and the way they operate things is sort of a joke. |

 When the mainstream media prints a story that claims, "Vitamins will kill you!" we explain not only why they won't, but also who's behind the distortion and why they want to convince everyone to live in a state of chronic malnutrition (hint: It sells more prescription drugs).
When new science discovers amazing healing properties of pomegranates, cinnamon, turmeric or other healing herbs, we bring you the story with the courage of free speech, not with some watered-down version that neglects to tell you why these plant-based medicines are more powerful (and safer) than prescription drugs. |

 Have no illusions: The evildoers who run medicine today are working diligently to create a system of medicine where vitamin companies are shut down, herbal doctors are imprisoned, naturopathic doctors are denied the right to practice medicine, and the truth about the healing powers of vitamins, minerals, herbs, supplements and even ordinary foods is routinely censored.
These devious miscreants want to create a world where you can choose any system of medicine you want, as long as it's their system. |

 Especially for foods and medicines, and for vitamins and mineral supplements. It would be a standard, much like the organic standard, but going far more deeply into the problem. That would demonstrate which companies are producing products that are taken directly from plant or botanical sources, and do not contain any synthetics at all. I believe a naturally occurring standard needs to be implemented in such a way to where we have more choices available to us. |

 Let me give you another example of what's extreme: Taking a grain of wheat from the grasses of nature, stripping away virtually all the nutrition in that wheat berry -- the fiber, the healthy oils, the protein content, all the vitamins and minerals -- and leaving only a high carbohydrate, nutritionally depleted endosperm, then grinding that into flour, bleaching it with chemicals that cause diabetes, and using it to make cereals, crackers, cookies, biscuits, pasta and all sorts of other groceries that you find at the store.
That is extreme. That is abnormal. |
| You have a genetic blueprint to consume low-glycemic foods, high-fiber foods, foods with natural minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients. This compatibility is in your genes. Unprocessed, uncooked foods right out of nature are what you are designed to consume. So it only makes sense that, as you move closer to that diet -- known as the raw foods vegan diet -- you will attain a state of perfect harmony with yourself. It only makes sense that any deviation from that -- processed foods, factory foods, foods with a long shelf life, etc. -- will take you away from a state of perfect health. |

 Don't you dare think about vitamins, and don't make the mistake of thinking you can get nutrition from food. You need our prescription drugs to keep you healthy. You need to take these drugs every day for the rest of your life. And just in case you might think buying drugs from somewhere else as a way to get a good deal, we'll scare you with language about terrorists somehow tainting prescription drugs from Canada."
By the way, this is not the first time we have heard that language. People in the conventional medical industry brought this up more than a year ago. |

| REPPED: In learning about nutrition, we often hear that certain foods contain a certain amount of vitamins and minerals. This is especially true in fruits, vegetables, and other produce, but very few people understand the truth about this information, which is that most of the published values about this nutritional content are not correct. This is especially true among minerals, and that's the point of this story.
Most of the produce you buy in a grocery store does not have anything close to the mineral profile it is supposed to have according to nutritional textbooks. |

 Allopathic philosophy ignores the idea or concept of nutritional deficiency. There is no general awareness when a person's disease is caused by a deficiency in a vital mineral like magnesium. Western medical science missed the boat completely when it came to the declining values of magnesium in food. Imagine some huge eye going blind to what modern farming and food processing has been doing to the nutritional values of food. It means that no attention has been paid to the slowly increasing levels of malnutrition, and chronic illness in populations. |

| In addition to digesting remnants of our meals and synthesizing vitamins, the helpful bacteria play an important role in the development of the immune system by maintaining a constant dialogue with our internal bodies through the surface of the gut. Our microflora also influence many of our hormones. The health consequences from an imbalance of our sex hormones can lead to precocious puberty, fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, uterine fibroids, prostate enlargement, and breast, uterine, and prostate cancer. |
