 The natural food and health food industry has long been wedded to whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread. Whole-grain products are more nutritious than refined or enriched products, but they are still primarily sources of starch. Whatever nutrients and fiber exist in wholewheat or rice bread, pizza dough, or pasta can be obtained in far greater quantities in vegetables.
Always read labels carefully, regardless of where you shop, and wean yourself from hidden sugars. |

 The health food industry
The fifth thing I really like about America is the health food industry. We have the best selection of health food stores and healthy grocery stores of any country in the world. Of course, it depends on what city you're in. If you are in St. Louis, you're not going to get a very good selection at the grocery store compared to what you might find in San Francisco, for example, or Seattle. But if you're in the right city and you're at the right store, you have a fantastic selection of fresh produce in this country. |

 The idea that you can greatly influence your health by taking food supplements or by altering your diet seems natural and is encouraged by the health food industry. There will be more to say about this industry in the next chapter. Changing what you eat, and how you eat it, doesn't necessarily mean buying a lot of expensive new products. And, indeed, there have been reports of health improvements following dietary manipulation. Much of the research on the effects of diet on rheumatological diseases, including FM, comes from Scandinavia. |

 Ten years ago, organic foods were a niche in the health food industry. Today, being organic is a sophisticated and powerful selling point. As another example, a small town in Italy recently rededicated itself to traditional food shops and, in doing so, forced a fast-food restaurant out of business. We can support markets and restaurants that cater to healthful and nutritious foods, and we can encourage other people to do the same.
You have the power to change your life. |

 Once considered a hippie fad consisting of small store fronts with dusty shelves full of foods that resembled and tasted like cardboard, the health food industry has emerged as big business and is now one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Even a few mammoth food corporations have jumped on this bandwagon by creating health food divisions within their companies. This is not surprising, given the public's growing awareness and concern with what they consume. |

 I would say probably that 80 to 90 percent of the hemp used in the United States in the body care and health food industry comes from Canada.
Mike: So here's a situation where the United States is sort of "behind the curve," missing out and almost punishing U.S. farmers by not having this opportunity to grow a crop that really brings wealth, abundance and nutrition to the community. But Canada is jumping on it, thanks to people like you, it seems.
Shamai: Of course, as a Canadian, I'm happy about that (laughs). |

Tryptophan is used for treating depression, as well for controlling manic-depressive mood swings.
Serotonin Syndrome: The use of 5-HTP or tryptophan with antidepressant medications may cause an overproduction of serotonin, leading to a condition known as serotonin syndrome. Although many healthcare professionals have combined these treatments, careful monitoring is necessary. |

 Despite what many doctors think, vitamins and minerals are not something invented by the health food industry; they are part of our biological system. Without them all life stops and you die. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can often lead to disease, and you do not have to be embarrassed about taking vitamin and mineral supplements. The medical and scientific literature supporting nutritional supplements is extensive and goes back over a hundred years. |

 More accurately, it is almost nonexistent, given the health food industry's love affair with canola oil.

 This view is virtual heresy in the health food industry, but the fact is that human teeth cannot chew raw grains. In order to be made edible, grains must be ground (processed), which increases their available carbohydrates and reduces their fiber (a carbohydrate blocker).
Yet another problem is that many grains, including wheat, rye, and barley, contain gluten, a highly allergenic protein and the cause of celiac disease. |

 For example, in Germany and Norway the drug companies have virtually taken over the entire health food industry. Vitamin Bl, vitamin G and vitamin E, in certain amounts, are illegal in these countries. A major pharmaceutical company now controls the herb echinacea, and sells it as an over-the-counter drug at exorbitant prices. Selling herbs as food, in certain parts of Europe, is now a criminal offense.
Am I the only voice expressing outrage? No. |
| Many of the case histories that we studied involved the health food industry which was being hit by vested interests in the patent medicine industry. The people in the court cases we studied testified that the reason for the attack on natural drugs and nutrition items is that there is a vested interest in the government to promote synthetic oilbased drugs. They went on to say this is especially true with regard to cancer cures. It has been determined that the cure for cancer will come from an oil-base synthetic patent medicine, and all others will be put off the market. |

Tyrosine and Phenylalanine
In Canada tyrosine and phenylalanine are not readily available. The Food and Drug Division of Health and Welfare appears to want to prevent people from looking after their own health by placing a number of unwarranted restrictions on the sale of amino acids. |
| Although it has been shown that the toxicity was caused by a contaminant, not by pure amino acid, this amino acid still has not been released and is now the center of a major controversy between the FDA and the health food industry and physicians who had been using it very successfully. In Canada it was available from health food stores and also on prescription. The health food store preparation has been withdrawn but the prescription products called Tryptan have not and have been freely available throughout that controversy.
Here is what happened. |

 Although the health food industry holds itself to higher standards than the commercial food industry as a whole, beware of misleading items. Carob candy, for example, if used injudiciously, renders you as obese as the richest European chocolates. Soy margarine is no less sinister than common commercial brands. "Vegetable protein hydrolysates" in certain meat substitutes are a clever euphemism for MSG. In other words, don't suspend your wariness just because you're shopping in a health food store. |

 The widespread disregard for quality control in the health food industry has tarnished the reputation of many important medicinal herbs. For example, it has been estimated that because of supplier errors in collection, more than 50 percent of the Echinacea sold in the United States since 1908 and through 1991 was actually Parthenium integrifolium.5 This highlights the importance of using the Latin name, since both of the above-mentioned herbs are referred to as "Missouri snakeroot," as well as the need for proper plant identification based on organoleptic, microscopic, and chemical analysis. |
| The U.S. health food industry often uses alcohol and water mixtures as solvents to extract soluble compounds from herbs. Occasionally liposterolic extractions, involving the use of lipophilic solvents or hypercritical carbon dioxide, are performed.
Most extracts produced by small manufacturers involve the use of maceration procedures. The simplest process consists of soaking the herb in the alcohol/water solution for a period of time, followed by filtering. Typically, this process will yield a lower quality extract at a higher price because the solvent, usually alcohol, cannot be reused. |

| But of course, the health food industry, smelling profits, rushed in to take the fish oil craze a step further. Today, consumers
7 A can find omega-3 fish oil sold in capsule form in health shops everywhere. Since most Americans do not care to eat fish every single day, they can still get their omega-3 by popping fish oil capsules. This is all well and good, but as it turns out, fish oil tablets have a significant blood-thinning property — which is good for the heart - but bad if a person is also taking other blood thinners, such as aspirin, and many prescription medications. |

 Famous French Explorer Discovers Powerful Antioxidant in Pine
Since about 1992 an extract obtained from the outer covering of conifer trees has been making headlines nationwide and has virtually revolutionized the whole antioxidant movement within the health food industry. The substance is called pycnogenol (pronounced pick-naw-jen-all) and comes mostly from the pine bark which coats the maritime pine found in the Canadian province of Quebec and along the Atlantic seacoast of southern France.

| The widespread disregard for quality control in the health food industry has done much to tarnish the reputation of ginseng as well as other important herbal treatments.
The use of standardized ginseng preparations is recommended to ensure sufficient ginsenoside content, consistent therapeutic results, and reduced risk of toxicity. Products should be standardized by their ginsenoside content. The typical dose (taken one to three times daily) for general tonic effects should contain a saponin content of at least 10 milligrams of ginsenoside Rgl, with a ratio of Rgl to Rbl of 1:2. |

 The high linoleic variety was the primary one used commercially in 1978 according to USD A, and the
Institute of Shortening and Edible Oils listed only the high linoleic variety among the principle oils in 1988; the high oleic variety has become popular in the last several years especially among producers for the health food industry. Safflower oil is yellow in color and has practically no odor. The high oleic varieties were developed through selection mutation breeding in the 1970s. |
