Guess
what, Senate Document 264 is right!
According
to Senate
Document 264 Americans have been suffering from
malnutrition for at least 64 years!
On
the right is the Governments Food Pyramid. It is supposed
to represent the perfect diet. So what's wrong with this
picture?
1. Commercial Growers
remove minerals from the soil each time they
harvest a crop.
2. Minerals are lost
naturally through erosion.
3. Only a few minerals
necessary to produce attractive plants and high yields are
replaced. Usually only two or three.
4. Plants are hybrid and
selected for their appearance and ability to produce high yields
economically, not for their nutritional value.
| If the
minerals critical to health aren't in the soil, how can they be
in the crops? The obvious answer is, they aren't. To
prove our conclusions we went shopping. We purchased all
of the fresh fruits and vegetables in the pyramid, put them in a
blender and then took them to a commercial laboratory for
analysis. The chart on the right is what we found.
1. Many essential elements are
not there at all.
2. Of the ones that are there you
would have to eat a rather large amount to get your minimum
requirement. For instance:
9.9 Pounds to get a minimum
daily requirement of iron
12.57 Pounds for Calcium
8.8 Pounds for Zinc
6.94 Pounds for Phosphorus
4.4 Pounds for Copper

Elements
are our body's "Building Blocks".
|
|
Two
Major symptoms of malnutrition caused by elemental deficiencies.
| Obesity
It may be hard to think of
overweight people as being undernourished but think about
it. Our bodies require all of the essential
elements to go about their business of building, maintaining and
restoring themselves. When the food you eat doesn't
contain enough of the elemental building blocks, your body
signals your brain to tell you to eat more. It is quite
natural for you to willingly oblige and when you do it is quite
natural for your body to store those extra calories as
fat. If your body was getting everything it needed it
wouldn't be hungry and if it wasn't hungry you wouldn't be
fat. Sound simple, it is! Weight control is a
natural function of your body. Simply give it what it
needs and it will respond. Shhhhhh, don't let that bit of
knowledge get around, it will put a lot of diet product
manufactures, doctors and clinics out of business. But----we
just learned the elements aren't in any of the food that we eat
so now what? The only answer is supplementation but don't
run out and start stuffing yourself with vitamins and minerals,
remember the elements must be in a very specific form to
work. Perhaps the best weight loss product in the world
isn't sold as a weight loss product. If you want something
that works, check out The
Package.
