I have seen dramatic changes in the luster and quality of hair of some of my students as they changed from a diet high in meat, sugar, fruit juices, and dairy to one rich in whole grains, beans, fresh vegetables, and sea vegetables. Dull, frizzy, brittle hair became shiny and heavy. Most amusing is the stage when the new hair coming in is of that beautiful quality and has already grown three or four inches, and the rest of the hair is its old brittle self. One can actually see the change in diet, and in health, chronicled in the hair shaft.

The Masai in Africa live almost exclusively on meat, milk, and blood, while other African peoples consume sorghum, millet, fresh vegetables, and game. The Tasa-days, last of the Stone Age cave men, discovered some years ago in the Philippines, feast on wild yams, grubs, frogs, bananas, and fruit. The early Greeks lived on bread, barley meal porridge, lentils, flaxseed, greens, turnips, figs, olives, goat cheese, fruit, wine; meat was for holiday feasting and for war. (The effects of this spartan fare were admirable.

Most children prefer raw or cooked fresh vegetables to frozen ones. Frozen foods have a seriously diminished energy field. It is not uncommon for people to become very sleepy after eating a meal that includes foods that had been frozen.

No, she said, "I defrosted my mushroom and barley soup. That's all I ate." "Did you have any reaction when you made it originally?" "No," she said, "no problem.

Patients who switch from processed and fast foods to whole foods, including whole grains, fresh vegetables, fruits, and beans, usually don't need supplemental fiber, he says.

You know the part of the supermarket where they have the fresh vegetables and fruits?" She hesitated. "I know what you're talking about. . . I never get stuff there, I use the frozen ones."

You eat a good diet—grains and beans and fresh vegetables," I heard myself say. Immediately I had second thoughts. Exactly what are the chances of a teenager eating that sort of diet?

Mexico, in zooo. Imported fruits and vegetables are supposed to meet U.S. sanitation standards, but sometimes do not.34 Dealing with the safety of imported produce is politically sensitive on a number of levels.

Unless yogurt is eaten with fresh vegetables or fruit, it's little more than a wholesome snack. Only if it is homemade, or among a select few plain (unflavored) commercially marketed brands.

While it is commonly assumed that fresh vegetables contain more nutrients than frozen and canned ones, you should consider where you live in relation to where the vegetables are harvested. For instance, if you live at the tip of New England and the vegetables are coming from the bottom of Chile there probably isn't that much difference between the nutrients in a "fresh" carrot and one that is "fast frozen." Do not plan on eating unlimited quantities of vegetables just because they are good for you. Calories add up, so stick to the portion sizes as given in the exchange list as much as you can.
