| Let's take a look at the
bread making process. The miller takes the living grain of wheat and removes
the outer shell called the bran (fiber) and either throws it away or sells
it to health food stores.
Then he removes the wheat
germ (which contains all the nutrients) because it gums up his machinery
and again sells it to health food stores. Then he takes what is left called
the endosperm and grinds it into a fine powder. But this powder is not
white so he bleaches it, often using a bleaching agent similar
to Clorox.
Now the flour is ready for
the ingredients (poisons like sugar, salt, dough conditioners and preservatives)
and baking... but it contains zero fiber and zero nutrients.
Knowing the majority of the
public will not buy a product that does not have at least some nutritive
value posted on the wrapper, the bread maker puts into this dead, fiberless,
nutritionally void substance, some artificial, coal tar derived vitamins
and minerals which have been known to cause cancer. Now he can label it
"enriched" and pass it on to the unsuspecting public as something that
is supposed to be good food.
White flour is used in schools
to make paste, which is just what it does in our digestive tract, causing
constipation.
Chromium helps escort glucose
to the cells. 80% of Americans are chromium deficient. It's a trace mineral
in wheat, but 72% of it is missing in white flour.
Another problem with bread
is yeast. Almost every food that is fermented (like wine) or is moldy contains
yeast and contributes to yeast growth. Yeasts can live in the body. Yeasts
live off of sugar and starch.
Do you know what you get
when you eat fruit or fruit and grains together combined with a yeast build
up in person's body which cooks them at 98.6 degrees? You get alcohol.
A person's body can become a very large and efficient "still". This can
cause health problems of many kinds including headaches, stomach aches,
indigestion, poor digestion or no digestion at all.
When you take a diet high
in refined carbohydrates, yeast germs (Candida Albicons) proliferate. Increased
numbers of yeast germs put out toxins which depress the immune system and
increase your susceptibility to food and chemical allergies, infections
and other illnesses.
Other things that can contribute
to this are beer, pizza, cheese, (especially moldy cheeses) sweet drinks,
sweet foods and sugar in almost everything that is processed including
breakfast cereals.
The best way to stop this,
besides the dietary changes is to eat garlic, yogurt (with live cultures
only),
linseed oil and a diet high in beta carotene and vitamin C. |
