The textured vegetable protein experiment: Even rabbits won't eat it Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I sometimes put vegetable scraps, fruit pulp, nut pulp or even old packaged foods on the hill for the benefit of these animals, and it's very interesting to watch them and find out what they eat and how quickly they eat it. I've observed these animals eating just about everything I put out there -- beans, pasta, crackers, nuts, seeds, crumbs, lots of fruits and vegetables -- but there's one thing they absolutely refuse to eat. I recently put out a bag of dried, textured vegetable protein (TVP) chunks made from soy. It turns out that none of the animals will touch this stuff.

Rabbits will eat practically anything, including cacti, old fruit, dried lettuce, and vegetable scraps. But they won't eat textured vegetable protein, at least not in my back yard. Yet look at all the processed soy protein found in protein bars, cereals and frozen pizza. It's even used in burgers at fast food chains. Why are we all eating what rabbits refuse to eat? Could it be that desert rabbits know something we don't? Maybe they know that textured vegetable protein isn't really food. It's something to seriously consider.

Your next choice, if water does not do the trick for you, is to purchase a 32-ounce quart of natural, organic vegetable broth. You can get organic vegetable broth from Trader Joe's, health food stores, or even many of the finer grocery stores that have a natural health section. The key is to get organic vegetable broth that does not contain excitotoxins. These are ingredients that cause neurological disorders because they overexcite and harm nerve cells. Those ingredients are MSG, yeast extract, autolyzed yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, and other similar ingredients.

Although everyone declined on their test results over the six years, as one would expect, those who ate more than two vegetable servings a day experienced nearly 40 percent less mental decline than those who ate few or no vegetables. In examining the specific diets of those who stayed healthiest, researchers discovered that diets high in a variety of green leafy vegetables including spinach, kale, and collard greens—which, coincidentally, are most reminiscent of the diet of hunter-gatherers?appeared to offer the most neuroprotection.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES This recipe works with any fresh root vegetable found in the produce department of your supermarket. If you can purchase organic varieties, even better!

For lunch and dinner, eat fresh vegetables, homemade vegetable soups, or salads containing liver and gallbladder detoxifying vegetables such as artichoke, asparagus, carrots, beets, broccoli, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, garlic, spinach, romaine lettuce, onions, and cauliflower. Snacks should consist of organic raw seeds or nuts such as sunflower, walnuts, Brazil nuts, or almonds. 2. Avoid drinking coffee, milk, alcohol, bottled juices, or soft drinks during this cleanse. These liquids will decrease the effectiveness of the liver and gallbladder cleanse, and add more toxins to the body.

In the Chinese language, a subject is an animal, and an object is a vegetable," he says. "You cannot ask a vegetable to jump from here to there. If you don't move, you are not an animal anymore—you become a vegetable!" Certainly this is a factor with the marathoners of Odyssey House. But even with a milder case such as Rusty's, doing DDR chased the bleakness out of his view of his future. And while most experiences will pale in comparison to the high of snorting cocaine, the possibility of a rich life can help keep that memory in perspective.

How I got blindsided by yeast extract in Amy's Kitchen organic foods (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

You don't find that phrase on the vegetable Pie package. Does that mean the vegetable pie contains hidden ingredients? Because, of course, if the vegetable pie product didn't contain any hidden ingredients, wouldn't they proclaim it on the label by saying, "No hidden ingredients"? It's a suspicious company that would use hidden ingredients on some foods while proclaiming "no hidden ingredients" on others. It's almost like admitting that the boxes lacking that statement are using hidden ingredients, don't you think?

That changed today when I purchased and ate an Amy's Kitchen "Vegetable Pie in a Pocket Sandwich," a product that claims, "NO Bioengineered Ingredients" on its label and says it is, "Made with organic vegetables & grains." As it turns out, Amy's vegetable Pie pocket sandwich is also made with yeast extract. Yep, you heard me correctly. Yeast extract. It's right on the label, right after "spices" and right before "turmeric." And as I write this, I have a screaming headache that was caused by it, and which will last probably for another six hours.

Although most readers probably have heard this ad nauseam throughout their lives, most epidemiological studies demonstrate the importance of fruit and vegetable intake in maintaining brain health. Recently, a six-year study on nearly two thousand Chicago-area men and women showed that on measures of mental sharpness, older people who ate more than two servings of vegetables daily appeared about five years younger at the end of the six-year study than those who ate few or no vegetables.

We've got superfoods, we've got vegetables, fresh vegetable juices, raw fruits and vegetables in every description imaginable and we've got organic food of every description imaginable. The answer is there. Mike: At this time in human history, we have access to the most exotic and the most amazing foods of any civilization that we know of in the history of this planet. It's due to people like you who are getting this out there, but we are blessed right now with access to this food that kings would have killed for, you know?

Plant-based diet greatly reduces risk of cancer, say studies Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

That's a real vegetable serving. So if you look across the population at what people consider to be fruits and vegetables, to me it's amazing that there's any health benefit coming out of these studies at all. Because people have distorted definitions of what fruits and vegetables really are. (Some people consider strawberry ice cream to be a serving of fruits!) As a result, if you observed a group of people in a study and you made sure they ate raw fruits and vegetables and avoided all of the refined, manufactured food products, you would see phenomenal results.

That's right: you can feel full on 20 calories by drinking an entire quart of organic vegetable broth. Emergency appetite control food #2 The next best strategy is to turn to green vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, bokchoy, and other leafy vegetables. They have so few calories that in my own diet, I don't even count them. That's right: I allow myself to eat an unlimited quantity of any green leafy vegetables without even recording the number of calories I have consumed. In my book, they are "free" foods.

The best protein and fats come from vegetables and vegetable oils. Avocados, olive oil, nuts, beans, soy, and so on are great sources of protein and contain fats that will actually lower your cholesterol. The best carbohydrates come from fresh whole fruits and vegetables. Avoid all processed foods. An apple is better than apple juice. Whole grains are essential, and avoiding processed grains is critical in developing a healthy diet for everyone, especially the diabetic. The next best protein and fats come from fish.

There, the native population mainly ate wild game, maize, rice, and sweet manioc—a root vegetable from cassava, which is "the staff of life" for people in tropical countries. Sure enough, as in New Guinea, processed foods, grains, and dairy were scarce, constituting only 8 percent of the diet. And all that good food paid off on the natives' skin. "Again, there wasn't a single case of acne in the 115 people we studied, including 15 people aged 15 to 25," recounts Dr. Cordain, whose book, The Paleo Diet, advocates the protein-and-vegetable-rich way of eating followed by our ancestors.

To Treat Heartburn Naturally: • Drink fresh juice of potatoes or cabbage (you'll need a vegetable juicer to make this juice), or eat a little raw grated potato. • Slowly eat a banana, chewing it well. • Drink some club soda. • Drink a glass of organic milk or eat a few ounces of plain yogurt. • Drink a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 4 to 8 ounces of warm water. To Prevent Constipation: • Vegetables, fruit, and whole grains! A diet rich in these foods—especially the first two—will help a great deal with constipation.

CoQ10 is found in many foods, mostly meats, vegetable oils (including soybean), fish, nuts, and some vegetables, but the daily intake of the average person through diet is below 5 mg—a fraction of the amount usually taken in supplement form (30 to 300 mg). It's estimated that only about 25 percent of the CoQ10 in your body is supplied through diet. Supplements of CoQ10 restore normal levels of this nutrient in people who take statin drugs without reducing the drug's effect on cholesterol levels.

Liquids include vegetable soups, fruit juices, vegetable juices, herbal teas, and water. Leaving the dining table while still a little hungry maintains a healthy desire for good, nutritious foods. Overeating, by contrast, leads to intestinal congestion, the proliferation of destructive bacteria and yeast, and cravings for "energizing" (which really means energy-depleting) foods and beverages, such as sugar, sweets, white flour products, potato chips, chocolate, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. All these foods and beverages lead to gallstone formation. 9.

If you feel you cannot solely live on foods that are of vegetable origin, then at least try to substitute red meat with chicken, rabbit, or turkey for some time. Eventually, you may be able to go fully vegetarian. All forms of animal protein decrease the solubility of bile, which is a major risk factor for gallstones. You can greatly reduce the risk of developing gallstones by adding more vegetables, salads, fruit, and complex carbohydrates to your diet. Drinking 2 to 3 ounces of fresh carrot juice daily before lunch prevents stones from being formed.

The starchy roots can be cooked as a root vegetable. Inuit peoples fermented the fleshy leaves and stems in water to make a sauerkraut-like dish, and they preserved the roots in seal oil so they could be available and eaten during the long arctic winters. In present-day Ukraine, a medicinal alcoholic drink called nastojka is prepared by mixing 80 proof vodka with an equal weight of fresh rhodiola roots and allowing the mixture to stand for a few weeks. Only a few teaspoonfuls should be consumed daily. Schisandra Young schisandra leaves can be cooked and used as a vegetable.

The same company makes toasted onion and vegetable rice snaps with safflower oil added. Read the ingredients. Even if you think you are familiar with a product, be careful not to get complacent. Grape-Nuts, for instance, are free of oil. So Grape-Nuts flakes probably are as well, right? Wrong! They contain vegetable oil. Avoid them. Guiltless Gourmet makes baked unsalted yellow corn chips that have no oil. But all the rest of the Guiltless Gourmet baked chips have safflower oil added. Read the ingredients. When it comes to grains, you should eat only whole-grain products.

The same is true with vegetables: a lot of people might think spinach lasagna counts as a vegetable serving. And, again, I consider that to be junk food. It's loaded up with cheese, it probably has some sort of chemical taste enhancer if it's been purchased at the store, it has refined carbohydrates in the crust, and it probably has refined sugar in the tomato sauce. And yes, there's a little bit of spinach in there too, but that's not a vegetable serving. That's just junk food with a bit of spinach filler.

If you had people eating raw blueberries, nuts, green leafy vegetables, salads, and consuming whole drinks made from vegetable concentrates, then the results would be vastly different from what you're seeing in these published studies. You'd see diseases like cancer literally vanishing in the group. And yet even these mainstream studies using unhealthy people on minimal plant diets are showing positive results. It goes to show you that even people who have poor dietary habits can dramatically reduce their risk of cancer by consuming a few fruits and vegetables along with their unhealthy foods.

And yes, there's a little bit of spinach in there too, but that's not a vegetable serving. That's just junk food with a bit of spinach filler. To me, eating spinach means buying raw spinach and having a nice spinach salad, or giving it a Chinese-style stir fry with nothing but garlic and a little bit of soy sauce. That's a real vegetable serving. So if you look across the population at what people consider to be fruits and vegetables, to me it's amazing that there's any health benefit coming out of these studies at all.

In fact, there's a product I purchased at Trader Joe's called Kitchen Basics Natural Roasted vegetable Stock. This was supposed to be a vegetable stock liquid that you would use to make soups, and the ingredients say "natural flavor", with an asterisk. The box says that it's made from corn. Well, it turns out that it also contains free glutamine because the minute I drank this vegetable stock product, I immediately got a severe MSG headache. Because I have very high body awareness, I know what an MSG headache feels like, and I never get headaches unless it's something that I've eaten.

Obviously, we need to replace these foods with more fruits and vegetables as well as vegetable protein. I realize that methionine is an essential amino acid; however, in the American diet, we will always get more than enough. The other side of the coin is providing enough folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 so that the enzyme systems needed to break down homocysteine can work effectively. It is interesting to note that all studies that have shown harmful aspects of elevated homocysteine have also shown depleted levels of B vitamins.

Schuyler W. Lininger, Jr. DC, Editor-in-Chief, The Natural Pharmacy Prima Health, 1999 Page 80 The best known example is MSG (monosodium glutamate).
