The quality of our incoming raw materials (food) has been
seriously compromised. During the last few generations, not
only has there been a thorough and systematic alteration,
degradation, and destruction of the environment, but there
has also been a series of bizarre technological innovations
in the areas of cooking, processing, preserving, fortifying,
and packaging of our foods that can only be described as
giant leaps backwards when measuring the various negative
impacts on our health.
"The real test of the value of refined (fortified) foods
would be to put a group of lab animals on a diet of white
bread and compare them to a group fed a diet of whole-grain
bread. In one such experiment, two thirds of the rats kept
on a diet of enriched white bread died before the experiment
was finished." (Select Committee on Nutrition and Human
Needs, United States Senate. Dietary Goals for the United
States 1977.)
"I am thoroughly convinced that the Perfect American Diet is
mere fiction. I do not think it is possible, much less
likely, that anyone can consume adequate amounts of balanced
nutrients in an unsupplemented diet. I have tried, and have
been unable to do so and remain healthy. The increased
health and happiness in our family brought on by good
nutrition has been worth every penny. Good nutrition does
not cost.it pays!" from Nutrition, Health and Disease by
Gary Price Todd, M.D.
Too many people find themselves overfed, yet undernourished.
This causes people to endlessly consume excessive amounts of
various insulting foods and insufficient amounts of
complimentary foods. Re-establishing a steady flow of the
highest quality whole foods and whole food supplements into
our bodies and into our cells is the very best way to fill
in our Nutrition Gaps.
The following is the list of nutrients required to grow a
perfectly healthy cell. All the cells of our bodies are
replaced in a span of about 7 years. The hands we have today
are different from the ones we had in 1995.
