I belong to a Yahoo group and today a thread was going around regarding eating healthier, and for those people who are used to eating processed foods, switching over cold turkey may not be the best thing. Here is one of today's posts, used with permission from the author (remaining anonymous). I love the analogy of being robbed and given cab fare... you still were robbed! So enjoy :) And if you decide to start eating healthier, you may want to look into detox foot patches to help you on your way to fabulous health.
______________________________________________________________ When first eating whole grains you have to be careful... You have to kind of wean yourself into it... Here's an example of why... To make bread a brighter white, at the expense of consumer health, flour is treated with chemical bleach, similar to Clorox.
Most white flour used in super-market bread, rolls, cakes, pastries, spaghetti, noodles, pasta, and breakfast cereals, has been bleached. More than 30 different chemicals are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for addition to bread, cereals and other foods, including ethylated mono and triglycerides, potassium bromate, potassium iodide, calcium proprionate, benzoyl peroxide, tricalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate ammonium chloride and magnesium carbonate. These are all routinely added to bread to extend shelf life, despite the fact that little is known about their long-term cumulative toxicity, when taken together. If you don't already read labels, you'll be shocked when you do. When grain is made into refined white flour, more than 30 essential nutrients are largely removed. Only four of those nutrients are added back in a process called "enrichment." Using this same logic, if a person were robbed of 30 dollars and the thief then returned 4 dollars to his victim for cab fare home, then that person should be considered "enriched" by 4 dollars not robbed of 26 dollars. How would you feel in that situation? You should feel the same about "enriched" white flour and bread! Only vitamins B1, B2, B3, and iron are added back. Nutrients which are removed and not returned include 44% of the vitamin E, 52% of the pantothenic acid, 65% of the folic acid, 76% of the biotin, 84% of the vitamin B6, and half or more of 20 minerals and trace elements, including magnesium, calcium, zinc, chromium, manganese, selenium, vanadium, and copper. Now imagine, bombarding your body with nutrition it's never really had before... Gotta start slowly... I'd try having some eggs and bacon, alongside a very small bowl of ...
Whatever you decide to try...
And let your body slowly get used to real nutrition!
