What is Nutrition?
Conventional medicine has finally acknowledged the central
role diet plays in a person's overall health. But achieving a good diet
is not as simple as it sounds. Eating the right foods no longer insures
proper health due to toxins contaminating the earth's food supply.
Therefore, it is important to pay attention not only to what food to
eat, but to where that food was grown or raised, and to what chemicals
it might have been exposed to before it reaches the table.
Over the years medical research has shown that saturated fats, whit
flour, refined starches, red meat, and chemical additives and
pesticides, all common elements of the western diet, are major
contributors to poor health and disease.
Over four hundred pesticides are currently licensed for use on America's
foods, and every year over 2.5 billion pounds are dumped on crop lands,
forests, lawns, and fields.
