 Peanuts Help to Control Blood Sugar
Small amounts of peanuts have virtually no impact on blood-sugar levels—and they may reduce postmeal increases in blood sugar.
In another experiment, Carol S. Johnston, Ph.D., fed eleven healthy people meals that were high in either sugar and carbs or protein. For some of the meals, 25 grams of peanut butter or roasted peanuts (about 1 ounce) were substituted for butter. When the peanuts were added to the high-sugar, high-carb meal, the postmeal rise in blood sugar was cut in half. |

 If legumes are eaten, the best legumes are chickpeas and peanuts (wild Amazonian peanuts, the only peanuts ever to test free of aflatoxin, are now available at www.rawfood.com). Chickpeas should be sprouted. peanuts may be soaked until plump before eating, although they are nice in their dried state as well. Both chickpeas and peanuts have a higher ratio of fat to protein than other legumes, but chickpeas are still protein-dominant. Soy beans have a high ratio of fat to protein (1:2) so they are one of the better legumes, even if cooked. |

 Journal of Agricultural "In contrast to these so-called pollen-related allergens, roasting has been reported and Food Chemistry to increase the allergenicity of raw peanuts. For example, protein extracts of thermally treated peanuts have been shown to bind IgE antibodies from patients' sera at up to nine-tyfold higher levels than extracts obtained from the corresponding nontreated peanuts. |

 Some infant milk preparations contain vegetable oil derived from peanuts, and an article in the Lancet of 29 May 1993 suggested this is possibly responsible for the increased incidence among children of an allergic sensitivity to peanuts.
Yeast products, too, should be avoided by chronic asthmatics, as a substance known to cause excessive mucus secretion, constriction of airways and activation of inflammatory cells (all part of asthmatic reactions) is found in yeast. Yeast is a good source of many vitamins, but you may have to find an alternative in your diet. |

 For example, a cup of peanuts contains nearly 1,000 calories (a very high caloric-density food) whereas a cup of chopped apple contains only 60 calories (a very low caloric-density food). This doesn't mean that you should never eat peanuts and only eat apples. It does mean that you can easily eat enough nuts in a few minutes to pack on the weight if you eat those nuts mindlessly. Our weight-loss patients are actually all encouraged to eat nuts, but only in appropriate portion sizes: a small handful or no more than one-quarter cup of raw or lightly dry roasted, unsalted nuts per day. |

| For example, protein extracts of thermally treated peanuts have been shown to bind IgE antibodies from patients' sera at up to nine-tyfold higher levels than extracts obtained from the corresponding nontreated peanuts. In addition, inhibitory ELISA experiments revealed a significant increase in the IgE binding activity of the purified major allergens Ara h 1 and Ara h 2 after thermal treatment in the presence of carbohydrates. |

Chili Lowers Insulin Levels
Foods made with chili are well known for their ability to dilate blood vessels and make people sweat. Chili may have some mild thermogenic, or fat-burning, properties. Researchers recently reported that eating chili-containing meals led to a significant reduction on the postmeal increase in insulin secretion. |

"Frequent nut consumption is associated with lower rates of coronary artery disease," explains Joan Sabate, MD, MPH, DrPH, a professor of nutrition at the Loma Linda University School of Public Health in California. And according to Dr. Sabate, nut-rich diets improved the cholesterol levels of participants in dietary intervention trials. |

 Don't use roasted or salted nuts or seeds, with the exception of peanuts. (Raw peanuts can contain aflatoxin, a dangerous mold.) Because the omega fats that nuts contain oxidize rapidly, processors roast nuts to keep them "fresh," but doing so destroys any antioxidant benefits. And salt, as anyone who has had a close encounter with a bowl of salted cashews will attest, makes you want another handful, then another. But as a starter, do try Dr. G.'s World-Famous Nut Mix (page 196). |

 Other dietary mutagens include anatoxin (a natural substance produced by a mold that forms on improperly stored peanuts); heavy metals, such as lead; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); and pesticides, such as malathion and DDT. Alcohol does not initiate cancer, but it promotes the growth of a pre-existing abnormal cell. Examples of other suspected dietary promoters are saccharin, excess dietary fat, and excessive use of coffee or caffeine. |

 But basically, the story I told in chapter 1—I'm embarrassed to say— is in fact fairly accurate: I was badly hooked on sugar, particularly red licorice, chocolate-covered peanuts, and hard candies; I did suffer from 44 symptoms; my boyfriend did dump me because I became so bitchy after eating a lot of sweets; I did find a wonderful doctor, Dr. Keith DeOrio, who told me to kick sweets; and I did kick the sugar back in 1998. FYI, like millions of Americans, I had heard that sugar wasn't good for you but didn't take action until my life hit rock bottom. |

| Aflatoxin is a group of toxins produced by certain
Aspergillus molds that can contaminate peanuts, other nuts, grains, and corn stored in warm, humid environments. After being consumed in the contaminated food, these toxins are oxidized in the liver, which can cause specific genetic mutations that are highly correlated to the risk of liver cancer. In fact, in areas of the world with prevalent anatoxin contamination, up to half of the liver tumors can be traced back to this toxin. |
| Of course, you should avoid aflatoxin-contaminated foods (such as old or damaged peanuts), but if aflatoxin exposure does occur, green tea can minimize the damage. Green tea extract protects the genetic material from aflatoxin damage by inhibiting oxidation of aflatoxin in the liver.21
SUPPORTING HEALTH IN DIABETES
Diabetes, although found around the globe, is particularly prevalent in the United States. By some estimates, as many as half of all the world's diabetics live in the United States. Our "affluent" diet and lifestyle is often to blame. |

| Reduce or avoid almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, and peanuts. and increases high-lysine foods has become quite popular. This concept arose out of two findings. First, we know that the replication of the herpes simplex virus requires the manufacture of proteins rich in arginine, and arginine itself may be a stimulator of HSV replication. Second, laboratory research has shown that lysine has antiviral activity that blocks arginine7 and that an arginine-deficient environment suppresses HSV replication. |

 Words like Prozac and Paxil and lithium were tossed around along with the salted peanuts and the shrimp. Upon learning the nature of my work, people would gather around, and I would be solicited for advice on various technical questions, like how long it took for Zoloft to fully enter the bloodstream and the advantages of Depakote as compared to lithium, or whether a neighbor's behavior was classically bipolar or merely hypomanic. Everyone seemed to be filled with a new and abrupt compassion for my clients, who, it was now universally agreed, were—of course! how could it be otherwise! |

 Maybe it's that bowl of peanuts at a cocktail party or the chips a friend puts out while you watch a game. Or maybe it's that coffee ice cream lurking in the back of the freezer. If certain foods are an absolute challenge for you, I advise you to simply cross them off your Flex list. There are still so many things you can choose to enjoy, every day if you like. It's just not worth the risk. The SuperFoodsRx Diet is all about a whole new lifestyle and a genuine honesty with yourself. |

 New French plantations to grow cotton and peanuts as cash crops pushed subsistence farmers onto smaller areas of marginal land. Fallow periods were reduced or eliminated and crop yields began to fall. Ground exposed beneath parched crops dried out and blew away with the wind.
Then in 1972, no rain fell and no grass grew. Livestock mortality was high where continuous overgrazing left little grass from the previous year. The few fruit trees that survived bore little fruit. Millions of refugees flooded into huge shantytowns. |

 Resveratrol is also found in large amounts in the grapes themselves; unfortunately, its presence in the skins and seeds hinders its absorption into the body. peanuts also look like they might be an adequate source of resveratrol, but their high content in saturated fats is a strike against them; the amount of peanuts one would have to consume to obtain significant levels of resveratrol would cause more harm than good. |

 These snacks might include slices of deli meats (chicken, turkey, beef, or ham), deli cheese (as long as you are not allergic to dairy products), or nuts (unsalted peanuts, cashews, pecans, or almonds). It won't take more than a minute to eat some of these foods. You might keep a can of tuna or sardines or a couple of apples handy as well.

 Trace amounts of CoQlO exist in a variety of foods, such as organ meats, beef, soy oil, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts. The body also has the ability to make CoQlO from the amino acid tyrosine, but this is a complicated process that requires at least eight vitamins and several trace minerals to complete. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients can hinder the body's natural production of CoQlO.
