 Watch out for these ingredients: hydrolyzed vegetable protein, yeast extract, autolyzed yeast protein, or even "natural flavorings." A more extensive list may be found in appendix C.
Caffeine: Caffeine can insidiously work its way into the diet of the ADD child and bring along with it a host of other troublesome substances, such as sugar, aspartame, or additives. In the ADD child, caffeine's stimulant effect can provide a temporary boost in arousal levels that may be experienced as desirable. |

| POTATOES
Potatoes are great complex carbohydrates—no-fat, nutritious suppliers of high-quality vegetable protein, vitamins (especially C), minerals, and other essential nutrients. But when potato skins turn a greenish color (because of chlorophyll buildup), they have accumulated a dangerous chemical called solanine. Solanine, present in and around these green patches, and in eyes that have sprouted, can interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses, and cause jaundice, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. |

 About twenty times more fossil fuel energy is needed to produce one calorie of beef as compared to one calorie of vegetable protein. The energy required to produce food is about 16.5% of the total energy requirements of the US. The value of the raw materials consumed for livestock production is greater than the value of all the oil, gas, and coal produced in this country. Raw materials needed to support the livestock industry constitute one-third of the value of all the raw materials consumed in this country. |

 This profile has been the basis for judging the quality of all vegetable protein for many years. (For a more complete discussion of the rat-based protein profile applied in human nutrition, as well as other aspects of the protein issue, see John and Mary McDougall's book, The McDougall Plan [New Century Publishers, 1983].)
About forty years ago other experiments were designed with more advanced methods to measure the protein requirements of humans. |

| DIET: Drink plenty of pure water, avoid excessive animal proteins, take amino acid blends or vegetable protein drinks several times per day between meals or for a snack to help build up the organs involved and maintain better blood sugar balance. Eat four to six smaller meals throughout the day and avoid overeating at each meal, eat as much raw foods as possible with emphasis on sprouts, seeds, and nuts, and consume wholesome soups made from a wide variety of vegetables and roots, such as potatoes, turnips, yams, and beets. |
| Organic, free-range poultry, cold-water fish, and vegetable protein sources are also good," he says, "while margarine, shortenings, and other sources of partially hydrogenated oils should be omitted. Simple or refined sugars, including fruit juices, sodas, and pastries, are also culprits."

| Classified as an additive, HVP (hydrolyzed vegetable protein), sometimes called HPP (hydrolyzed plant protein), is frequently listed on labels as hydrolyzed cereal solids. (It's obtained through a chemical splitting of soybean and peanut meals, or crude protein from already wet-milled wheat, corn, or other grain by water-processing hydrolysis). I'd say avoid it as often as possible as it usually contains MSG (monosodium gluta-mate), which can cause allergic and other reactions (see section 26), and too much salt. |
| Glutamic acid An amino acid present in all complete proteins; usually manufactured from vegetable protein; used as a salt substitute and a flavor-intensifying agent.
Glutamine An amino acid that constitutes, with glucose, the major nourishment used by the nervous system.
Gluten A mixture of two proteins—gliadin and glutenin—present in wheat, rye, oats, and barley.
Glycogen The body's chief storage carbohydrate, primarily stored in the liver.
Gout Upset in metabolism of uric acid, causing inflammation of joints, particularly in the knee or foot.
GRAS Generally Recognized As Safe. |

 For example, some herbal teas and nondairy creamers contain gluten, as does tuna in vegetable broth and any hydrolyzed vegetable protein. Avoid creamed vegetables, raisins and dried dates that have been dusted with flour, most canned soups, and sauces. Some types of cheeses, like blue, Roquefort, and Gorgonzola, are hidden sources of gluten. Even ketchup and soy sauce can contain gluten.

| Textured vegetable protein (TVP). It sounds weird, but it cooks up like ground beef. Look for dried granules of TVP in health food stores and use it in place of ground meat in spaghetti sauce, lasagna, tacos, soups and stews. It's a good source of artery-protecting isoflavones.
Tofu. Sizzle cubes of tofu in a frying pan or wok with a smidgen of oil and a few of your favorite veggies, then serve over rice. (Look for blocks of isoflavone-rich tofu in the produce aisle of the supermarket.)
Veggie burgers. These burgers are quick-cooking, low in fat and high in fiber. |

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a nonstick frying pan, brown the ground turkey. Add the garlic, cook 2 minutes, then add the reconstituted soy protein. |
| Archer Daniel's Midland Company owns the right to the name of Textured vegetable protein or TVR It is also sold under the name soy nuggets. It is sold dried in granular and chunk style in natural food stores and through mail-order catalogs. When used as a meat substitute or extender, it is reconstituted with water and added in place of all or part of the meat used in recipes. It comes in handy for feeding the phytochemical-resistant diner. I've replaced about one-quarter of the ground turkey in recipes without anyone noticing. Ultimately, it's great for replacing meat altogether. |

 Feeding animals vegetable protein, including soybean protein, consis-tendy blocks gallstones by reducing the saturation of cholesterol in the bile. Researchers suspect the same thing happens in humans. Remarkably, studies at Wistar Institute in Philadelphia showed that eating lots of soy protein even caused small gallstones in hamsters to dissolve!

 The point is that persons who have had a brain or spinal cord injury should be especially diligent in avoiding excitotoxin food additives such as MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein or NutraSweet®. This is because these defects in the blood-brain barrier can act as points of entry for otherwise excluded toxic molecules to enter the brain and spinal cord. The manufacturers of tube feeding and hyperalimentation formulas must become aware of the real danger imposed by high glutamate and aspartate additions to these formulas. |

Don't be innocent about caffeine. It is a paradox, able to relieve or cause headaches. A single cup of strong coffee may zap a mild headache, and caffeine alone is a painkiller equal to acetaminophen, according to tests by Nicholas Ward, M.D., a psychiatrist at the University of Washington. |

 Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), foundMn many mentally ill patients suffering from chronic ailments, has resulted in the standardization of the high vegetable protein, low refined carbohydrate, no junk food diet. The discovery that food additives and artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives can cause hyperactivity in children and "brain" allergy in adults has resulted in the use of more natural diets. |

 First, we should take supplements in a form that is measurable and easily assimilated by the body—in other words, in a form that the body recognizes as food, such as chelated substances presented in a vegetable protein base. Remember, we are unable to assimilate minerals directly and, in order to meet our needs, must use intermediaries in the plant kingdom. |

 I emphasize animal protein because it provides the essential amino acids lacking in vegetable protein, and the latter will be obtained in the carbohydrate allotment described below.
What does this leave you to eat? Carbohydrates, lots and lots of complex carbohydrates prepared without added fat—vegetables, fruits, beans, pasta—the kind of diet that vegans follow. These foods do not require the pancreatic enzymes for digestion, so they must make up the bulk of your diet. |

Notice that I recommended that lunch contain the most animal protein, while dinner includes a substantial amount of vegetable protein. This is because a meal high in carbohydrates, including beans and vegetables, tends to result in an increase in the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. |

| For instance, MSG, to which some people are sensitive, must be listed, but not when it is contained in another ingredient, such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein. Until the new labeling law goes into effect, food dyes don't have to be named individually. The only exception is Yellow No. 5, which must be listed because it can cause allergic reactions in some people. (For more on additives, see Chapter 7. |
