"Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished.  But in this day this was an unattainable ideal: what he regarded as the best system in existence produced Karl Marx.  In future such failures are not likely to occur where there is dictatorship.  Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible."      Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society

"Our physical nature is such that wee need foods that are whole, not refined and denatured, to grow, prosper and reproduce. As the consumption of sugar has increased, so have the "civilized" diseases. In 1821 the average sugar intake in America was 10 pounds a year; today it is 170 pounds per person, representing over one-forth of the average caloric intake. Another large portion of total calories comes from white fliur and refined vegetable oils. This means that less than half the diet must provide all t he nutrients to a body that is under constant stress from its intake of sugar, white flour and rancid and hydrogenated vegetable oils. Herein lies the root cause of the vast increase in degenerative diseases that plague modern America."   Sally Fallon

"I wish for everyone to help create a strong sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.”   Jamie Oliver Good Food Advocate  His video is here

"Schools HAVE to change the way they feed kids. Eating refined sugar will cause them to go up and down just like cocaine. WE can and MUST make a difference.”    Ann Cooper Director of Nutrition Services, Berkley Unified School District

"Oxysterols are the harmful oxidized form of cholesterol that can cause plaque to form on artery walls. Oxysterols are not only created by homocysteine, they are found in some processed foods like powered milk and eggs, re-heated lard and gelatin products. They are found in french fried potatoes, potato chips, donuts, and other deep fried food. When hamburgers and eggs are cooked at high heat they produce oxysterols. Cook your food at a lower flame to avoid these pro-oxidants."    Doctor Nan Fuchs PhD

"What if you were to learn that every day, 25 percent of your calories came from a poison, disguised as a food? And what if you discovered that this chemical imposter was responsible for your insulin resistance and weight gain? And elevated blood pressure. And elevated triglycerides and LDL. And depletion of vitamins and minerals. And even gout, heart disease and liver damage? What if you were to discover that this toxic substance had been dumped into your food in gradually increasing quantities for the last thirty years, with the full knowledge and blessings of the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, the USDA and the FDA?      Doctor Robert H. Lustig MD  UCSF        Start of series, NOTE You MUST watch this, This video will help you kick the deadly sugar habit, Note please start your diet program by eliminating sugar/HFCS from your diet

"If God didn’t make it; don’t eat it.” Doctor Robert Rowen MD  

"The Doctor of the Future will give no medicine, but will involve the patient in the proper use of food, fresh air, and exercise." Thomas Edison

"Transfats are the  most harmful fats in the food supply. Eating 40 calories of transfats a day raises your risk of CVD by 30%."  Doctor Dariush Mozaffarian MD, Note transfats are heavily used in processed foods and fast foods

"Food is the fastest-acting and most powerful medicine you can take to change your life."  Doctor Mark Hyman

"It appears that obesity is not the only thing controlled by the information in our food. So are stress response, mood, behavior. memory and brain function. That is why a fresh, whole food, organic, real-food diet is the foundation of health."  Doctor Mark Hyman

"Food is powerful medicine. Eating more of certain foods and less of others can substantially boost the bodies ability to fight most illnesses from colds to cancer."   Doctor Keith Block MD

“The diets of healthy primitive and non-industrialized peoples contain no refined or denatured foods such as refined sugar or corn syrup; white flour; canned foods; pasteurized, homogenized, skim or low-fat milk; refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils; protein powders; artificial vitamins or toxic additives and colorings.” Weston A, Price Foundation

“Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork. “ English Proverb

“Natural foods can be used by the body because they haven't been altered. As such they can also go bad, like stale bread, or any food that is left to sit out too long. The point is that the best foods are the ones that CAN go bad; we want a food to be able to go bad. It's just that we need to eat them before they go bad. This is the whole point of processing - this simple issue is what the whole controversy is about. Longer shelf life equals higher profits. Foods that can't go bad have the longest shelf life. The problem is that the usable nutrients in food are exactly what must be removed in order to have prolonged shelf life. And that's what the science of food processing focuses on: learning better and better ways of taking the perishable nutrients out of foods so that they'll last longer. But what happens when these devitalized Frankenfoods get into our bodies? They're preserved - they're resistant to being changed and broken down. But that's what digestion is: breaking down the foods into usable components. Processed foods are digested poorly, if at all. They clog the digestive tract and make us fat. And cause chronic allergies as the body unsuccessfully tries to expel them.” The Doctor Within

“When we're thirsty, we don't drink water. We drink coffee and Coke and diet Dr. Pepper and ice tea and beer and milk and anything else we've been conditioned to buy. And we tell ourselves we don't need to drink water because all these beverages have water in them. Right? Wrong. It's a long story, but the punchline is this: all these drinks are actually diuretics - they make the cells and the body lose water. The sugar and caffeine in those drinks pull water out of the cells in order to maintain the delicate pH and electrolyte balance in the blood. Result: cell dehydration. Cell dehydration is the #1 cause of aging. Also a big contributor to degenerative diseases, like arthritis, hypertension, and diabetes. One way to tell if you're dehydrated is to check the color of the urine. If it's dark all the time, you're probably dehydrated. It's a good bet that one of the above drinks is your beverage of choice.” The Doctor Within

This Common Beverage Can Spike Brain Damage, Obesity, and Cancer Risk 

“Less than 10% of Americans meet the minimum recommendations of two servings of fruit and three of vegetables a day.” US Nutritional Examination, Note this is truly pathetic please be in the 10%

“Folate deficiency is the most common deficiency in the world.” Krause et al, Note eat fresh and you will have NO folate deficiency

“Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega 6 class found in corn oil and safflower oil may be involved in the development of breast cancer, where as long chain omega 3 PUFAs found in fish oil can inhibit breast cancer.” Bagga et al

“Diet can be a major source of free radical stressors with processed or highly heated oils being the main offenders. If you are still using "foods" like refined vegetable oils, margarine or shortening (or "foods" made with them such as all commercial baked goods and "snack" chips), you need to remove them from your diet. Replace these harmful fats with natural, cold pressed oils such as olive oil (which can be used for cooking) and small amounts of flax oil or walnut oil (which should never be heated). Food grade, unrefined coconut oil and organic butter are also excellent choices, especially for cooking. Both of these naturally saturated fats are rich in certain fatty acids that have proven activity against bacteria, harmful yeasts, fungi and tumor cells.” Stephen Byrnes

“People who consume higher amounts of vegetable oil lose their vision about 4 times faster and have twice the risk of macular degeneration as individuals who consume the lowest amounts of vegetable oil.”  Doctor Paul Beaumont

“During the period of rapid increase in heart disease (1920-1960), American consumption of animal fats declined but consumption of hydrogenated and industrially processed vegetable fats increased dramatically.” USDA-HNI

“Armed with your new knowledge, the following experiment will blow you away. Go to your local supermarket with your glasses or a magnifying glass, without being in a hurry. Start anywhere and just read all the fine print on food labels. Check out the frozen dessert section - you know, all those boxes with the beautiful pictures of homemade pies and cakes and turnovers. You'll be amazed to see that hydrogenated soybean oil is not simply an ingredient in many of these desserts, but that it is the main ingredient. Next try the salad dressing aisle. Start with the creamies - bleu cheese, Ranch, etc. Partially hydrogenated soybean oil - the main ingredient. Next go to the commercial bread and pastries section. Most breads have the ingredients printed in orange microfonts so that you can't make them out with the bread as the background. This is no accident. Here you'll see not only a ton of hydrogenated soybean oil - you'll also see beaucoup high fructose corn syrup - another neurotoxic non-food. (See SUGAR) Next try the soup section - read every word. Then cruise on over to the pasta section. Don't forget the commercial cookies section. Soon it will dawn on you, like it dawned on Charleton Heston; we are becoming partially hydrogenated soybean oil!” The Doctor Within

“Genetically modified hydrogenated soybean oil is now present in over 60% of food items on the shelves of American supermarkets. It's the main ingredient in most commercial pies, cakes, ice cream, chocolate candy, donuts, pastries, cookies, and salad dressings, and a hidden ingredient in practically everything else. It has no food value, cannot be well digested, and contains many contaminants.” The Doctor Within, Note GMO foods can kill both short and long term. Beware folks!

“Gas, bloating, heartburn, stomach ache, feeling full when beginning to eat, abdominal cramping, unsatisfied hunger - these are common symptoms of enzyme deficiency. But most doctors treat such problems as though they were signs of drug deficiency! All that pizza and fries and tacos and yoghurt is devitalized food: no enzymes. As a result, once in the stomach, it just sits there. The stomach produces more and more acids and digestive enzymes trying to break down this overcooked, chemical-laden sludge we mistakenly refer to as food. But it can't do it.”  The Doctor Within

“Doctor Price studied their diets carefully. He found they varied greatly, but the one thing they had in common was that they ate whole, unrefined foods. With absolutely no access to tooth brushes, floss, fluoridated water or tooth paste, the primitive peoples studied were almost 100% free of tooth decay. Further - and not unrelated - they were also almost 100% free of all the degenerative diseases we suffer - problems with the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, joints, skin (allergies), and the whole gamut of illnesses that plague Mankind. No one food proved to be magic as a preventive food. I believe we can thrive best by eating a wide variety of whole foods; and no sugar or white flour. These are (and always have been) the first culprits. Tragically, when the primitives were introduced to sugar and white flour their superior level of health deteriorated rapidly. This has been demonstrated time and again. During the last sixty or more years we have added in increasing amounts, highly refined and fabricated cereals and boxed mixes of all kinds, soft drinks, refined vegetable oils and a whole host of other foodless "foods". It is also during those same years that we as a nation have installed more and more root canal fillings - and degenerative diseases have become rampant. I believe - and Dr. Price certainly proved to my satisfaction - that these simultaneous factors are NOT coincidences.”  GEORGE MEINIG, D.D.S. author “Root Canal Cover-Up EXPOSED - Many Illnesses Result"

“Well, I'm not against oral hygiene. Of course, hygiene practices are preventive, and help minimize the destructive effect of our "civilized", refined diet. But the real issue is still diet. The natives Dr. Price tracked down and studied weren't free of cavities, inflamed gums, and degenerative diseases because they had better tooth brushes! It's so easy to lose sight of the significance of what Dr. Price discovered. We tend to sweep it under the rug - we'd actually prefer to hear that if we would just brush better, longer, or more often, we too could be free of dental problems. Certainly, part of the purpose of my book is to stimulate dental research into finding a way to sterilize dentin tubules. Only then can dentists really learn to save teeth for a lifetime. But the bottom line remains: A primitive diet of whole unrefined foods is the only thing that has been found to actually prevent both tooth decay and degenerative diseases.”  GEORGE MEINIG, D.D.S. author “Root Canal Cover-Up EXPOSED - Many Illnesses Result"

“Doctor Price’s research proved conclusively that dental decay is caused primarily by nutritional deficiencies and that those conditions that promote decay also promote disease.  Healthy native diets were diverse. Some were based on sea food, some on domestic animals some on wild game some on dairy products. Some contained almost no plant food while others contained a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. In some mostly cooked foods were eaten in others many foods were eaten raw including animal foods. None contained any refined or devitalized foods such as white sugar and flour, canned foods, pasteurized of skimmed milk and refined and hydrogenated vegetable oils. All the diets contained animal products and all included some salt. Preservation methods included drying, salting and fermenting. Doctor Price found these diets contained almost ten times the fat soluble vitamins as our current diet. These include vitamins A, D, K and the CLA found in dairy products from milk cows fed on spring green grass. The foods which supplied these fat soluble nutrients included butterfat, marine oils, organ meats, fish and shellfish, eggs and animal tallows. Foods considered sacred included liver and other organ meats, fish liver oils, fresh eggs and CLA rich butter. The implications of Doctor Price’s research are profound. If civilized man is to survive he must somehow incorporate the fundamentals of primitive nutritional wisdom into his modern lifestyle. He must turn his back on the allure of civilized foodstuffs that line his supermarket shelves and return to the whole, nutrient-dense foods of his ancestors.” Health and Healing Wisdom

“Nutrition and Physical degeneration remains, I believe, the single most important treatise on human nutrition and dietary health ever written. It is the only book which clearly shows the basics of what a healthy diet truly encompasses. This information remains both correct and unchanging; it is mostly unknown by the general public and the medical profession. I am continually asked, as my patient’s health improves and their lives turn back to how they felt before their problems occurred, why so few people understand this information. The only answer I can give is that money and politics not facts and unbiased research, such as Doctor Price’s, determine what the public and medical professions are taught.” David J. Getoff, Naturopath

“A critical examination of these groups revealed a high immunity to many of our serious affections as long as they were sufficiently isolated from our modern civilization. When individuals of the same racial stock who had lost this isolation and who had adopted the foods and food habits of our modern civilization were examined there was an early loss of the high immunity characteristics of the isolated group.” Doctor Weston Price DDS, Note since the natives losing immunity often lived in the same physical environment as the immune natives IMO we can blame much of problems on food alone.

“The processing of tomatoes actually increases the bioavailability of lycopene, an antioxidant that helps neutralize highly reactive and damaging free radicals in the body. Lycopene in tomato paste is four times more available than it is in fresh tomatoes. Canned fish like tuna, sardines, salmon and mackerel are among the best sources of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids.” Life Extension

“Most modern food which the American diet comprises is poison. Why do I say that? A good poison will: 1) block the flow of blood, 2) decrease the amount of oxygen to the tissues 3) interfere with one or more major systems of the body, 4) actually cause addiction to the poison itself 5) eventually kill the subject without ever being detected. No poison in history has achieved these goals on the scale that processed food has. We don't have a natural diet. Most of us have a SAD diet - the Standard American Diet. You know - burgers, fries, pizza, beer, chips, donuts, coke, etc. These are non-foods, new to the human species in the past century. Our digestive systems were never designed to break these chemical bizzarros down. So the stuff doesn't get digested - it just sits there, rotting. Abnormal diet = abnormal digestion.”  The Doctor Within

“Food processing has only been around for about the last 90 years or so. Food processing came about mainly during wartime when we had to figure out how to transport large quantities of food to the WWI soldiers without spoiling on the way. Scientists found out that the more efficient were the methods of removing enzymes from foods, the better it transported and the longer it lasted. After the war, the techniques that had been learned were applied to the grocery business. The supermarket industry soon found out that profits could be greatly increased if foods can be made to last longer without spoiling. If that meant that they were also removing most or all of the nutrition from the food along with the enzymes, hey, too bad. The manufacturers weren't in the health business; this was the Shelf-Life business.” The Doctor Within

“If you have to shop at grocery stores, stay in the exterior aisles and stick to organic dairy, meats and produce. You can pretty much disregard everything in between. Those aisles are filled with nothing but processed foods loaded with harmful chemicals.”   Doctor Al Sears MD

            

Processed Foods, often food with the GOOD Removed

Processed or refined foods are raw whole food that has been processed, often has many nutrients taken out, has additives put in it and is packaged differently from the raw food. 90% of the money Americans spend on foods goes towards processed foods. This should be more like 10% - 20% IMO.

Processed foods take the ingredients out of the raw food, which will spoil if put in a box and left on a shelf for a month or two. The problem is the ingredients taken out are often the BEST part of the raw food. For instance the Omega EFAs (See Omega EFA Protocol) are taken out because they go rancid quickly. Without the omega EFAs your body must use an inferior oil to repair itself. In place of the good Omega EFAs taken out transfats, processed hydrogenated and polyunsaturated oils (See Polyunsaturated Oils Protocol) are put in the processed food. So we have removed the good fat and replaced it with an unhealthy fat.

   

What is Disease? 

   

Processed Foods, often food with the BAD Added

“Processing methods leech the taste out of food. So food makers add chemicals back in to make what they’re selling taste like real food. The flavors are created by chemists called “flavorists.” They distill flavors from foods before they get packaged, and then combine them with chemical compounds. These potent flavor potions are created to taste like the flavors that were processed out. The strawberry flavoring in a Burger King strawberry milk shake has 74 chemicals with names like amyl acetate and benzyl acetate.”   Doctor Al Sears MD

"A diet of processed, synthetic foods, high sugar content, alcohol and soda drinks all "waste" magnesium, as a lot of it is required for the metabolism and detoxification of these largely fake foods.”    Weston Price Foundation

Once they have removed the components of the processed food they must replace it with something. GMO GMO Soy and corn products are a favorite filler. Soy and corn are dirt cheap and after it has been itself processed it will last for years. Soy supplies both an inferior fat and imperfect protein. MSG (See MSG Protocol) is almost universally added to trick your taste buds into thinking this denatured cardboard you are eating tastes good. This trick works well until it destroys your brain and nerves. Other cheap man made synthetic ingredients are added; GMO Corn, sugar, white flour, chemicals and other ingredients harmful to your health.  You cannot eat cheap synthetic man made ingredients; not if you want to keep eating.

    

You MUST eat Food not "food"

"Food is the cause of the vast majority of our health problems and food is also the solution." Doctor Victor Marchione MD

"Two thirds of all deaths are directly affected by improper diet."  US Surgeon General

"I've been telling you to avoid processed foods for years. They're killing you. But if there's one food that is perhaps worse than just about all others, it's the potato chip. We can't blame acrylamide for all the damage potato chips cause. Potato chips are boiled in oil. That oil automatically oxidizes (it becomes rancid). Rancid oils are the real culprit in promoting the inflammation of atherosclerosis. If you do anything at all regarding your diet, start with eliminating fried foods and foods containing heated oil. These are the "foods" that will kill you first.”   Doctor Robert Rowen MD

There aren't many mysteries when it comes to health and disease, and once you start seeing how everything is interconnected, you'll also see that nearly every disease can be traced back to the foods you've chosen to eat.”   Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

    

IMO this “processing” will result in disease somewhere down the road. It may take ten or twenty years but by eating this nutrient poor, additive rich, cheap non-nutritious filler added “food” you are giving your body inferior materials to work with AND you are DENYING your body materials that are ESSIENTIAL to a long healthy life; plus you are loading your body with toxins your liver and kidneys must remove.

  

How to Destroy a Society

"Oils stripped of precious nutrients and altered in structure. a penny's worth of grains puffed and flaked and sold for hundreds of pennies per box, fragile life giving milk subjected to high temperature processing, sweet foods denuded of vitamins and minerals - this is the witch's brew that leads to physical and spiritual degeneration."   Sally Fallon
