results. And for the most part as fucked up as the medical system may be (and yes it is fucked up it is BIG business) but the doctors are still people and most of them still genuinely care about your health and will be happy to see you recover from whatever your past issues may be.
 
In the coming chapters I will discuss individual foods that may be “tricky” some foods are not all created equal for example bread not all bread is bad just most all of it. Which leads us into the next chapter “bread” Chapter Seven: Breads and Pastas

   In this chapter, we will explore breads and pastas, first and foremost bread or pasta, even the ones that are not too bad should be enjoyed in moderation. Unless you have a wheat field in your yard and you are making your own bread you have to be very careful here most all packaged breads and pastas are so highly refined they can not be eaten. Artisan breads from a local baker may be OK you need to discuss with the baker how they are made even if you find “good” bread you still shouldn’t eat a lot of it. myself I found it easier to eliminate them completely (well mostly) once I did get a craving for a sandwich, but cravings are another chapter completely we will get to later. When picking a store bought bread/pasta the first thing you need to check is the first ingredient listed should be whole wheat nothing else. If it says flour stay clear, if that does not say "whole wheat flour" you can bet it is NOT wheat, at least not whole wheat. Anything with words like enriched, bleached, refined or processed don’t even consider  
 
Enriched flour, sounds healthy right after all they enriched it by adding good stuff to it right? Well that is sort of true, they remove more than 20 nutrients (that we know of) in the hardcore chemical/mechanical processing the flour goes through  so they add back in 5 of them The nutrients typically added are iron, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (b3), and folic acid (B9). But these aren’t natural vitamins and minerals added to the flour. The forms added to enriched processed flour are often created in labs or harvested from soil or chemicals rather than grown in nature. Why do they bleach it in the first place well simply put it is all about money. Flour used to be aged with time, improving the gluten and thus improving the baking quality. Now, it is treated with chlorine to instantly produce similar qualities in the flour. The chemical treatment eliminates the need for all that pesky expensive time. No one ever thought to care if they were poisoning the world all that mattered is that they were making more profit. You wouldn’t want all those billionaires to lose a little money just so you can live, would you? How un-American of you.

Chapter Eight: Herbs, Herbs and More Herbs

 Don’t let your food be boring, spice it up, load it with lots of herbs and spices, not only are they good for you, they have amazing flavors. You will soon find that you get good at what herbs and spices you like together. And again soups and veggies can be blended in the blender to make smoothies that are quick easy ways to get loads of nutrition. Herbs and spices are loaded with tons of nutrients and phytonutrients many of which you can not get from any other foods.

Carotene-ß             3142 µg
Crypto-xanthin-ß       46 µg
Lutein-zeaxanthin-5650 µg
And that’s just the things we know about. Lots of research and laboratory testing has been done on many of the health properties of much of the nutritiants listed and there is overwhelming evidence to support the theory that we really do not understand how they work. Many of the nutrients in plants have amazing effects on the body however when you extract the nutritiants by their selves you often do not get the same results sometimes you get no results. So it is clear that the balance of ALL the nutrients in the food are required for optimum results. So we don’t know why it works but there is clear evidence that it does work.
