See article keywords and concepts |  It's why fresh produce sold at grocery stores sometimes tastes like soap, or why water sold in cheap plastic jugs easily soaks up fragrance chemicals and tastes like Bounce dryer sheets. Any food item you buy from a retailer that sells toxic cleaning products is, itself, slightly toxic.
Right now, nobody is talking about this. This risk of chemical cross-contamination hasn't even been admitted to by mainstream scientists, the FDA, the EPA or any government agency. |

I'm always humbled by nature, and it will be a great honor to be part of bringing you this next round of macro photos of healing foods and plants. I can't wait to fill my kitchen with the smell of citrus and broadcast healing images of Mother Nature's healing foods! |

The food industry has responded to consumer demand for lower fat products. For example, 2076 new food products introduced in 1996 claimed to be reduced in fat or fat free—nearly 16% of all new food products introduced that year, and more than twice the number just 3 years earlier. The number dropped in 1997 and it is unclear whether that represents a backlash to health concerns [188]. The Calorie

To summarize so far, we talked about the dissociation of results from effort. We covered two basic lessons on what that means for people in Western cultures, and how we tend to go off track by making the mistake of thinking we can change who we are with lotions or skin creams or cosmetic surgeries. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Stores like Wild Oats and Whole Foods deserve praise for providing healthy, fresh produce on a daily basis at reasonable prices. It's really one of the modern miracles of civilization that we can walk into a store and purchase bananas or lychee fruit or any of the other exotic fruits that wouldn't be available if we were limited to buying fruits found locally. (At the same time, I always support buying locally when possible, through food coops and farmers' markets. But sometimes you want foods from outside your geographic region, too. |

See book keywords and concepts | | For example, the National Resources Defense Council conducted a survey of fresh produce sold in San Francisco markets for pesticide residues and found that 44 percent of seventy-one fruits and vegetables had detectable levels of nineteen different pesticides, with 42 percent of produce with detectable pesticide residues containing more than one pesticide. The sheer number and amount of pesticides showered on certain foods are astounding. For example, more than 50 pesticides are used on broccoli, 110 on apples, and 70 on bell peppers. |

See book keywords and concepts |  If fresh produce is unavailable, use frozen foods instead. Do not use canned vegetables or boxed vegetable dishes, because they usually contain significant amounts of salt and other unhealthy additives. If raw produce does not agree with you, steam your vegetables lightly in a steamer, cooking pan, or wok just until slightly tender.

Most fresh produce contains chlorogenic acid, which acts as a blocking agent against cancer. fresh produce is also rich in caffeic and fer-ulic acids. These acids block the formation of carcinogens and keep the cancer-causing compounds from reacting with the cells necessary to promote and stimulate cancer growth. Yet another phytochemical, quercetin, is found in high concentrations in the outer layers of deeply colored fruits and vegetables. To maximize phytochemical content, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. |

See book keywords and concepts |  When you purchase whole, unprocessed vegetables, you can use Evert-Fresh produce storage bags to extend the life of fresh produce and significantly reduce nutrient loss. These bags are made with a natural mineral that absorbs the ethylene that fruits and vegetables emit as they ripen, and that in turn hastens ripening. mixed with water. Raw taro has a bitter taste; however, cooking gives it a nutty flavor. It tastes like a combination of potato and water chestnut. One cup has 107 calories and supplies 591 milligrams of potassium.

¦ When serving food, keep it covered to prevent exposure to mold spores in the air.
¦ Empty opened cans of perishable foods into clean storage containers and refrigerate them promptly.
¦ Use leftovers within three to four days so mold doesn't have an opportunity to grow.
¦ If you find a moldy food item, don't sniff it. Instead, wrap it carefully in covered trash where children and animals can't get to it. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Flash-freezing helps retain most of the nutritional quality of frozen produce, so frozen fruits and vegetables—without added sauces and sugars—are the best substitute for fresh produce. Frozen produce may be more nutritious than fresh, depending upon how the fresh produce has been handled and ripened.
Canned fruits and vegetables, packed in water, are available in low-sodium and low-sugar varieties. They are good alternatives to fresh produce. Look for canned fruits that are packed in water, not sugar syrup. |

See book keywords and concepts |  For most Americans, these nutrient-deficient factory-made pseudofoods have replaced the real food that Mother Nature intended us to eat: mostly plant-based unprocessed foods such as whole grains, legumes, and fresh produce that are packed with the fiber and nutrients our bodies need. A closer look at how Americans eat gives us some idea of the problem: 51 percent of our calories come from processed foods, 42 percent from meat, eggs, or dairy, and a paltry 7 percent from vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds— foods that prevent disease and are optimum for overall health. |

See article keywords and concepts |  There is a very long list of scary disorders, diseases and events caused by prescription drugs, but fresh produce will cause none of those.
In fact, fresh fruits and vegetables will prevent and even help reverse most chronic diseases. Foods will nourish your body, yet they are medicinal at the same time. All of the berries -- including blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, blackberries and strawberries -- are powerful medicines, especially the small, potent berries like blueberries and cranberries. |

See book keywords and concepts | | You can then supplement with fresh produce and meats from your local grocery store. If your local grocery store doesn't carry any of the additive-free brands mentioned, request that they do. Given enough requests, they are bound to start carrying at least some of them. Some food can be purchased online such as bulk grains and organic produce. Wild Oats and Whole Foods Markets, two of the largest natural foods store chains, used to have shopping online, but they have both discontinued this service due to lack of adequate response. | | The high-tech agricultural business dramatically added a whole new dimension to the meats, fish and fresh produce we ate in the past with the introduction of pesticides, herbicides, ripening and coloring agents, growth-hormones, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the like.

EarthWorks has its hands in a number of other community projects, mostly focusing on youth education. In addition to teaching the importance of organic and fresh foods, the programs teach the values of mutual respect and community interconnection —a complementary set of lessons that helps solidify basic knowledge and cohere the community. | | A phone call, for instance, can replace a grueling trip to a rural area to look for fresh produce; phones can also help farmers protect themselves from swindlers, by letting them check prices across a range of locations and buyers.
The Kenya Agricultural Commodities Exchange (KACE) sells up-to-the-minute market news via short-message service (SMS) text messaging. Farmers can access daily produce prices from a dozen markets, allowing them to make deals without having to travel around the country. |

See article keywords and concepts | | If you spend most of your time in the fresh produce section of the grocery store, or the natural foods section, then it can be a place of tremendous healing. You can find foods and herbs there that not only treat many chronic diseases, but also prevent them.
I've already mentioned some of these healing foods, like corn silk. Most people buy corn and then throw away the corn silk, thinking, "Oh well, that's not going to be any good. It's just garbage. I'll throw it away." Keep it instead, and boil the corn silk and drink that tea. That's what American Indians did. |

See article keywords and concepts |  For example, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" suggests that people should eat fresh produce and raw foods. An apple is a raw, living food. This phrase also suggests that an apple should be consumed every single day. In other words, we should live on these foods. They should be a regular part of our lifestyle. Therefore, the saying can be expanded to mean, as one interpretation, that eating raw foods on a regular basis will keep you healthy and keep you from being sick. This advice, of course, is absolutely true.
What about the phrase, "You are what you eat"? What does that mean? |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Our soils no longer contain trace minerals or even the macro minerals that the human body was designed to consume, so our fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, etc.) lacks these minerals. And when it comes to factory foods, nearly all of the food products on grocery store shelves is completely devoid of all but a few minerals.
Did you know that white flour has 90 percent less mineral content than whole grain wheat? You lose almost 100 percent of minerals like magnesium, zinc and calcium when you process these grains. |
