Whether it's sugar, dairy, or wheat, the best way to identity trigger foods is to simply cut out all the usual suspects and then see what happens. If you add them back slowly, one at a time, you'll soon know which ones are problematic for you. |

These coffee substitutes come in a variety of flavors: vanilla nut, Java, hazelnut, chocolate mint, almond amaretto, etc. A great way to transition to grain coffee is to mix it with regular coffee as you scoop the dry grounds into your coffee filter. So if you normally use 4 scoops of ground coffee, then try 3 scoops of coffee with 1 scoop of grain coffee for the first week. | | Coffee (Organic Replacements)

See book keywords and concepts |  DRIED FRUIT
Dried fruit is a powerful source of health-promoting nutrients, as the fruits' benefits remain and are actually concentrated if you measure by volume (except there's little vitamin C in dried fruit). In addition to the usual raisins, dates, and prunes, dried blueberries, cranberries, cherries, currants, apricots, and figs are now more readily available. Some fruit is heavily sprayed with chemicals to prevent pests and mold, and when the fruit is dried, the chemicals are concentrated, too. |

Supplements, in contrast, allow you to absorb only about 5 to 15 percent of magnesium, and that's a two- to fourfold difference. A daily multiple vitamin can't contain adequate magnesium because it would be too large to swallow. Even multiple vitamin packets don't contain enough magnesium.
Other drawbacks are that magnesium supplements are poorly absorbed, and that unabsorbed magnesium draws water into your intestines and causes diarrhea. |

DEMOLISHING THE WHOLE GRAINS MYTH
I touched upon whole grains early in this book, when I introduced the Evolution of the Human Diet chart (page 27). Now that you can choose to include a modest amount of them in your diet, it is time for me to address the issue in greater depth. Eating calorie-dense foods got us to where we are today-double entendre intended. |

The time had come to get serious about seeking medical care. Over the next several years, Harry made the rounds of physicians and specialists, but he was never given a definitive diagnosis, and none of the treatments or pharmaceuticals he was given helped for very long. At one point, his doctors thought he might have pancreatic cancer, but, thankfully, he didn't. |

• Time your snacks carefully. Nibbling throughout the day gives bacteria a constant food supply.

See book keywords and concepts | | The main sources of iron are red meat, liver, dried fruit, egg yolks, sardines, spinach, broccoli, wheat germ, and brown barley. Vegetarians especially can become iron deficient due to an insufficient intake of foods that contain iron.

See article keywords and concepts |  There's probably no better tasting dried fruit on the planet. I've started adding them to my superfood smoothies as a natural fruit-based sweetener. They add a rich, sweet and superbly satisfying flavor to just about anything you might want to blend up and drink. I also highly recommend mixing their white mulberries with their creamy cashews to create your own delicious nut-and-fruit mix. There's nothing in the stores that even approaches the taste you'll experience from this combination mix! (Trust me, you've probably never tasted any nut mix this good...)
