IMMUNE FOR LIFE: ENEMIES OF YOUR “DOCTOR WITHIN”
As you go through your market, selecting Super Foods and other healthy foods, you’ll find yourself bypassing the majority of items on the shelves. These are the processed foods and junk foods, the enemies of our “doctor within.”
If you carefully read the labels, you’ll find that many packaged, canned and frozen items have very little real food left in them, and even less real food value. Many of their nutrients have been heated, frozen, processed or leached out. What you get is the food “shell,” along with large dollops of added fat, salt, sugar and chemicals. Occasionally, you also receive just enough spray-on vitamins to satisfy government regulations.
Nature fills her foods with nutrients. Man fills his foods with fat, sugar, salt, fillers, modifiers, texturizers, flavorers, preservatives and coloring agents. I am awed by the creativity of food chemists, but I am appalled by their lack of concern for our health.
Compare a real potato, for example, to a typical brand of artificially flavored mashed potatoes. A potato contains potato. Artificially flavored mashed potatoes contain potato flakes, monoglycerides, natural and artificial flavors, sodium bisulfite, calcium stearoyllactylate, BHA and BHT, sodium acid pyrophosphate and citric acid. Now, I’m not saying that everything in artificial potatoes is harmful. But why take a chance when the alternative is a tasty, 100 percent safe and nutritious potato? It comes back to the general rule: Did Nature make the food or did man? Nature makes potatoes. Man makes artificial potatoes.
Fast foods are also a health problem, for the same reason that processed foods are. The people who make fast foods and processed foods load their products with fat, sugar, refined carbohydrates, salt and chemical additives.
