2014)
"There has been a global shift in
diet towards increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in
[bad] fats and sugars, but low in vitamins, minerals and other
micronutrients. This, along with a trend towards decreased physical
activity has had a large impact on worldwide increase in obesity
rates..."
Kefir
Your
Kefir Source
"What exactly is kefir? ... More
than a fermented drink resembling yoghurt, kefir is a cultured
probiotic food that is packed with living bacteria, phosphorus,
folic acid, lactic acid, biotin, vitamins K and B, amongst others.
Its main ingredients are kefir grains and it is in these grains
where the magic begins..."

Kosher Food Preparation
Kosher vs Halal
(11 March 2013)
Five of the differences between Kosher and
Halal meat. Please be warned that the photograph at the beginning
of this article is
extremely distressing.
Kosher Meat versus Regular Meat (2002)
"Very few people I meet
understand the procedures of a slaughterhouse ... The saying, 'if
slaughterhouses were made of glass, we would all be vegetarians' is
certainly true! The slaughter of animals in the Bible was quite from
what goes on today ... the actual method of [kosher] slaughter is
known as the shehitah ... intended to cause the least amount
of pain to an animal..."
Kosher Meat is Drained of Blood (2002)
"The Levitical Law forbids the eating
of blood, even if it comes from clean animals ... Kosher beef has been
thoroughly drained of all blood. How exactly is this done? Two
methods are used..."
Please see
here for more articles
and information on Halal foods.
Milk
Homogenised and Unhomogenised Milk
(16 March 2015)
"Milk is a combination of fats, proteins, and water. When raw
(i.e. unpasteurised and unhomogenised) milk is left to stand for any
length of time, the fat molecules float to the top. This creates a
layer of cream that is used as a measure of the milk's quality: the
thicker the cream, the better the milk..."
Full Fat Milk and Obesity (21 December 2014)
"Whole (full-fat) milk is a vital
source of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as
calcium and phosphorus; the minerals that work with vitamin D for
building strong bones. Butterfat (full-fat) is in milk for good
reason:..."

Obesity
Full Fat Milk and Obesity (21 December 2014)
"It used to be thought that
low-fat milk would help children to avoid weight gain and curb the
growing problem of overweight and obesity in childhood, because by
drinking low-fat milk children would still get whole-milk's benefits
- vitamin D, calcium, protein - without the fat and calories..."
Good Fats, Bad Fats, and Obesity (11 December 2014)
"Although the Western diet is
high in red and processed meats and saturated fats, it's also
alarmingly high in sugar and refined carbs like bread and pasta.
When you reduce saturated fat and increase refined carbohydrates,
you end up promoting obesity, heart disease, and diabetes..."
What Causes or Contributes to Obesity? (11 December
2014)
"There has been a global shift in

micronutrients. This, along with a trend towards decreased physical
activity has had a large impact on worldwide increase in obesity

No Deaths in 38 Years From This Raw Food - So
Why is it Condemned? (14
January 2012)
"There has not been a single death from drinking raw milk
since collection of food safety data began in 1973. For comparison,
there have been over 40 deaths from Pasteurized milk during that
time period, and another 50 deaths from pasteurized cheese." /
"[O]utbreaks of illness resulting from the consumption of
pasteurized milk are kept from public knowledge, and escapes
warnings from both [the U.S.] Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and
[the U.S.] Food and Drug Administration [FDA]..."
FDA Says: Drinking This Natural Food is a
Crime (06 July 2011)
"It might have been consumed all over the world for thousands
of years, but according to the FDA you don't have the right to make
an educated choice about whether to feed it to your family. ... The
war on raw milk, which is really an unconstitutional assault on one
of your most basic rights, i.e. your right to choose what you want
to eat and drink, is now in full swing and will likely intensify in
the days ahead..."
FDA's Response to FTCLDF's Suit Over
Interstate Raw Milk Ban
(06 May 2010)
"Growing numbers of people in [the US] are obtaining the
foods of their choice through private contractual arrangements such
as buyers; club agreements and herdshare contracts. FDA's position
is that the agency can interfere with these arrangements because, in
FDA's view, there is no fundamental right to enter into a private
contract to the foods of choice from the source of choice..."
Salt
The Good Salt
(15 August 2011)
"Refined salt is harvested from salt mines as brine, which
means the salt is in water. Chemicals are added to the brine to
remove the minerals. Ironically, in the salt industry minerals are
referred to as impurities. The minerals (impurities) are sold to be
used in other industries. Then the brine is evaporated using high
compression and heat. this disrupts the molecular structure of the
salt. The toxic chemicals are added to prevent clotting. ... All
natural salt is loaded with minerals in a balance that works well
with the body..."

Factory Fed Fish: Monsanto and Cargill's Plans
for the Ocean (17 July
2012)
"The mass cultivation of GM soybeans has a hugely detrimental
environmental and health impact worldwide. As it stands, soy is
widely used in our diets, in processed foods and found in most meat,
as soy is fed to animals on CAFOs. The next 'natural' step, at least
according to two of the largest stakeholders in the soy industry,
Monsanto and food giant Cargill, is to make soy the feed of choice
for factory-farmed fish around the world - a move they are
misleadingly labelling as 'sustainable'..."
Avoid These Foods: Unfermented Soy
(29 December 2009)
"Any soy that is unfermented - soy milk, tofu, soybean oil,
soy burgers, and all the other processed soy products out there all
belong to this category - is not a health food and in fact is not a
food I would advise eating at all. This is true whether it is
'organic' or not..."
Soy Alert
(15 September 2001)
"If you say something loud enough, often enough, and
convincingly enough you can make anyone believe anything you say.
The commercial side of the health food industry in America has
vigorously promoted soy products and additives, turning a deaf ear
to research that should throw up red flags..."

Vegetarianism and Veganism
The Great Vegan Backlash (14
February 2019)
Readers'
comments: "As usual urban, metropolitan types can't
be bothered to learn how livestock farming in the UK, almost always
on land unsuitable fro crops, sustains land management including the
wildlife. This in turn is a vital component of sustaining socially
healthy rural communities" / "If we get rid of all farm
animals, so no more sheep, cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc,
what will be used instead of manure to fertilise the fields? Lots
more chemicals that kill insects and other wildlife?"
Stop Shoving Veganism Down Our Throats
(13 February 2019)
"When I was 17 I went to stay with my
favourite aunt, who lived in Sussex. She was a pescatarian, a
vegetarian who ate fish. It was the first time in my life I had not
eaten meat for a week and it initially made me feel very healthy. I
returned home to South Africa and announced to my parents that I was
now a vegetarian. As with so many good intentions, this path led me
straight into dietary hell..."
The Vegan Controversy (12
February 2019)
"Today, I had planned to write about
the rise and seemingly unstoppable advance of full-on veganism. To
clarify, I don't mean vegetarianism or simply avoiding meat to spare
the suffering of animals. I mean the shunning of ALL products,
whether edible or not, that involve animal ingredients, not so much
as a personal choice but as an environmental statement ... on
following up my own researches on the Net I found several facts:..."
Vegetarianism Isn't Just Bad, It's Bad For You (18
August 2016)
"Most Western vegetarians I've met
are either atheists or fans of some dubious Eastern creeds ...
That's hardly surprising ... because Judaeo-Christianity precludes
anthropomorphism, which is an essential part of many Eastern faiths.
In our anthropocentric civilisation, killing animals doesn't
constitute murder, as the more crazed vegetarians claim. In fact,
the Western position of carnivorism was manifestly laid down in
Genesis: 'Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even
as the green herb have I given you all things.'..."
Veganism Isn't a Diet - It's an Ideology (05 August
2016)
"The problem with veganism is
that it too easily becomes an ideology, one underpinned by the
ideals of purification, cleansing and asceticism. Like all
ideologies, it is inevitably prone to extremism, intolerance and the
appeals of dogma ... It is a religion of the self, of
self-abnegation, self-denial and self-righteousness ... [of]
narcissism, selfies, self-worship and virtue signalling..."
Ten Portions of Veg a Day?
(06 April 2014)
"In theory, I should be pleased
to be told that henceforth I should eat only plants. After all, my
family tease me that I eat so much green stuff my body is probably
capable of photosynthesis..."
Vitamins
Vitamin C: What Makes Vitamin C so Effective? (29
March 2016)
"Vitamin C is a water-soluble
vitamin, which means your body doesn't store it. Humans do not have
the ability to make Vitamin C, so we need to consume it via our
diet, through our food. Why is Vitamin C so special?..."
Yeast
Candida Overload --> Yeast Infections (28 November
2014)
"Candida is a fungus that belongs
to a family of yeasts called candida albicans, and under
normal circumstances it's a harmless part of your skin ... but
Candida cells develop rapidly, and if your system is out of balance
from eating unhealthy foods, taking certain prescription drugs,
fighting an illness, and more, Candida can quickly grow out of
control..."
"Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for
you; even as the green herb have I given you all things
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall
ye not eat"
(Genesis
9:3-4).
"But that we write unto them, that they abstain from ... things
strangled, and from blood ...
That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and
from things strangled"
(Acts 15:20,29).
"For one believeth that
he may eat all things [meat]: another, who is weak, eateth herbs
[vegetables].
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not;
and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: ...
Who art
thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he
standeth or falleth. ...
He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he
giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not,
to the Lord he eateth
not, and giveth God thanks"
(Romans 14:1-6).
"[I]n the latter times
some shall ... [give] heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of
devils; ...
commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created
to be received with thanksgiving of them ...
For every creature of
God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with
thanksgiving:
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer"
(1
Timothy 4:1-5).
