No wonder soy sprouts are mentioned in historical accounts as useful, sometime-pharmaceuticals, not as daily food.15 EDAMAME: SWEET GREEN ADOLESCENCE Edamame is the Japanese word for green vegetable soybeans. These young, sweet-tasting soybeans are harvested at the point when they are well developed but still soft and green. They contain lower levels of antinutrients and plant estrogens than adult beans. Boiled or steamed in the pod for 20 minutes or less, they are chilled, salted and removed from the pod and served as either an hors d'oeuvre or a green vegetable.

Sprouts are the richest source. Unripe papaya and pineapple are excellent sources of enzymes. The enzymes extracted from papaya and pineapple—papain and bromelain, respectively—are proteolytic enzymes, which break down proteins. Many fat-containing foods also supply lipase, which breaks down fats. In fact, fat in food exposed only to pancreatic lipase (the lipase produced by the body) in the intestines is not as well digested as fat that is first worked on in the stomach by food lipase.

Wheat grass sprouts are remarkably healthy for you because they're like tiny living multivitamins. But in the food processing industry, they don't sprout the wheat. They just take the dry wheat berries and start dissecting them in order to separate their parts. The first part that gets removed is the "bran" or the outer shell. This bran is extremely high in fiber because it is a protective covering that encapsulates the entire wheat berry in order for it to survive its journey back into the soil where it might someday create another wheat plant.

Sprouts are loaded with vitamin C, digestive enzymes and the mysterious "live" element that you only get from living foods. • Spirulina contains GLA, an essential fatty acid lacking in the modern diet. • Chlorella and spirulina are excellent sources for chlorophyll, a cleansing phytonutrient that cleans the blood, detoxifies the liver, and even helps detoxify the colon. • Aloe vera plants contain newly-discovered phytochemicals that enhance the viscosity of human blood, reducing clotting and the risk of heart attacks or strokes.

When you eat sprouts, you are taking in a perfect food that is intended to create new life. In this way, I look at every single sprout like a little tiny multivitamin. And that's exactly what it is. If you were to look at the vitamin, mineral and phytonutrient content of a sprout, you would find it is quite impressive. Not only does it contain all these nutrients, it also has chlorophyll, which is a fantastic blood cleanser, liver cleanser, cancer fighter and all-around health enhancing nutrient for the human body.

Foods like partially hydrolyzed proteins or soy sprouts, which are quickly or minimally processed, remain highly allergenic.12 An industry newsletter The Soy Connection states that highly refined oils and lecithin "are safe for the soy-allergic consumer."3 Unfortunately, many allergic persons who put their trust in such reassurances have ended up in the hospital. Highly susceptible people cannot use either safely. Adverse reactions to soy oils—taken either by mouth as food or via tube feeding—range from the nuisance of sneezing to the life-threatening danger of anaphylactic shock.

Remember this is the energy that the wheat berry would normally use to grow sprouts and a root system. So this energy is sent on to be milled into the refined white flour product. And that's what gets shipped off for use in the human food supply. The good nutrition gets sold off for animal feed Meanwhile, all of the good nutrition remaining in the other pile containing the germ and bran, is typically sold off as a by-product of grain processing. It often goes into animal feed.

If you cook the sprouts, you ruin their nutritional value. Nuts and berries are powerful disease fighting foods In the category of whole foods, there are many foods you can eat that are like concentrated vitamins. Nuts are one such food. Almonds are known for their cancer fighting capabilities. And other nuts such as cashews and macadamias also provide health-enhancing oils that are outstanding for cardiovascular health and are known to prevent heart disease. Berries are a tremendous source of high-density nutrients.

When purchasing potatoes for juicing, avoid those with a green tint, and be sure to remove any sprouts or eyes. The chemical solanine, which gives the potato its green cast, can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. • When using organically grown produce, feel free to leave the skin on in most cases. Do remove the skin, though, before juicing apricots, grapefruits, kiwis, oranges, papayas, peaches, and pineapples. The skins of oranges and grapefruits are quite bitter, and also contain a toxic substance that should not be consumed in large amounts.

Ingestion of very large amounts (the equivalent of several servings) of the seed and/or sprouts has been linked to the onset of systemic lupus erythematosus (page 421) (SLE) in animal studies.10 It has also been linked to the teactivation of SLE in people consuming alfalfa tablets.11 SLE is an autoimmune illness characterized by inflamed joints and a high risk of damage to kidneys and other organs. The chemical responsible for this effect is believed to be canavanine. Botanical names: Aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis Parts used and where grown The aloe plant originally came from Africa.

Alfalfa (page 623) seeds and sprouts contain the amino acid L-canavanine, which provokes a lupus-like condition in monkeys22 and possibly humans.23 For this reason, some doctors recommend that people with SLE should avoid these foods. Cooking alfalfa seeds has been reported to erase this effect.24 Lifestyle changes that may be helpful In preliminary research, smoking has been linked to significantly increased risk of developing SLE, while drinking alcohol has been associated with a decrease in risk.

For sprouts, one doesn't need a compost heap, a patch of earth, or a sunny windowsill. One can even grow them in jail. All you need is a Mason jar, fresh water, and seeds: Alfalfa, mung beans, or lentils. Many natural food stores and gourmet shops have tricky little devices for sprouting seeds painlessly. Some are crockery contraptions; others are simply Mason jars with removable screened tops. Follow the instructions and within hours or days, you'll have more sprouts than you can eat. (They keep in the refrigerator for days.) Add sprouts to salads or use them in more complicated dishes.

They then tested broccoli throughout its life cycle and found that the seeds were high in phase 2 enzyme precursors, as were three-day-old sprouts. Even the sul-foraphane precursor dramatically inhibits chemically induced cancers in rats. They are now developing a way to certify that any sprouts that get marketed contain sufficiently high quantities of the sulforaphane precursor. Eat sprouts raw for effectiveness. • Keep the liver healthy and functioning. To contain adequate repair mechanisms, body organs need to be healthy.

Indoles, found in cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage, increase immune activity and make it easier for the body to excrete toxins. Saponins, found in kidney beans, chickpeas, soybeans, and lentils, may prevent cancer cells from multiplying. P-coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid, found in tomatoes, interfere with certain chemical unions that can create carcinogens. The list of these protective substances goes on and on. Tomatoes alone are believed to contain an estimated 10,000 different phytochemicals.

Good sources include asparagus, avocados, beet greens, black currants, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cantaloupe, collards, dandelion greens, dulse, grapefruit, kale, lemons, mangos, mustard greens, onions, oranges, papayas, green peas, sweet peppers, persimmons, pineapple, radishes, rose hips, spinach, strawberries, Swiss chard, tomatoes, turnip greens, and watercress. Orange juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, but only if it is freshly squeezed or has been processed by methods that don't involve heating or pasteurization.

For most people, sunflower greens are the best sprouts of e.ll; they are the "softest" and most nourishing for the body. Wheatgrass often comes from weak hybridized seed strains; quality counts and one should seek out the best quality seed stock available. Other grass seeds tend to be of a higher quality (kamut, rye, barley, oat) than wheatgrass. Grass juice is an excellent transition, detoxification and maintenance food (especially for overcoming heavy metal poisoning). Grass juice may be too harsh on certain body constitution types and should be avoided if too unsettling.

Dietary factors, such as the consumption of brassicas (cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, bok choy, mustard greens), flax, and soy, have all been shown to positively influence the "2/16" ratio, as have supplements of DIM (di-indolymethane) and I3C (indole-3-carbinole). These foods and supplements appear to offer some protection to women who wish to reduce their breast cancer risk. Some research has shown that men who consume these vegetables have close to a 50% reduction in prostate cancer risk.

If you feel too restricted eating exactly what I recommend, you can always take up the fall-back position: eat a wider variety of raw plant foods including fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds, sprouts, sea vegetables, raw plant-food recipes, etc. Remember, the initial goal here is to eat as much raw plant food as we can adjust into our diet. Make your nutrition fun. Water I am often asked what I do for water. The best book I have found on the subject of water is Living Energies by Callum Coats.
