A 1970 study in which rats were divided into groups and fed products made with whole wheat flour, white refined flour, or enriched white refined flour, found that the rats continued to thrive on whole wheat, while the ones fed white bread became malnourished.8 Animals that were fed enriched white flour products died first because the enrichment of this flour is from synthetic vitamins and minerals. Raw whole wheat contains approximately fifty main nutrients whereas refined white flour contains no more than two or three.

Stage C Grain foods, such as basmati rice, bulgur wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat, Kasha, millet, whole wheat couscous, quinoa, amaranth, Chia, whole wheat pasta, or other grains. Proper digestion of grain foods requires fat (oil, butter or ghee). You may add spices, herbs and salt and/or vegetable bouillon. Stage B and C foods may be cooked together in one pan. Stage D Beans, including mung beans (dhals), lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, fresh lima beans and others. Add fat or oil, spices, herbs, salt, and/or other condiments. Do not eat stage D foods more often than 1-2 times per week.

Increase servings of vegetables, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, and cooked dry beans in meals. Try casseroles, whole wheat pasta, and stir-fry dishes, which have less meat and more vegetables, grains, and dry beans. Use fruits or other foods low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, sugar, and calories as desserts and snacks ?Fruits and other lower-fat foods offer great taste and variety. Use fruits canned in their own juice or packed in water. Fresh fruits require little or no preparation. Dried fruits are a good choice to carry with you or to have ready in the car. ?

Family/community support systems to maintain healthy behavior The main focus is a plant food—based diet containing whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat breads, whole-grain cereals, whole wheat pasta), dried beans and legumes, soy products, lean poultry, fish, egg whites, and nonfat dairy. Plant oils are to be used only lightly, and red meat, butter, and animal fats are to be avoided, as are processed foods, high-fat foods, sweets, and caffeinated drinks. Alcohol and salt are to be consumed in moderation.

An example for a light dinner is freshly prepared vegetable soup, perhaps blended, served with whole wheat pita or spelt bread, whole wheat toast or rye crackers with unsalted butter, ghee or coconut oil. Another option is cooked vegetables with rice or other light cooked grain foods. The soup/vegetables may be seasoned with spices and herbs, vegetable bullion, unrefined sea salt, as well as butter, ghee or coconut oil added during or after cooking—about one teaspoon of butter, ghee or coconut oil per person (avoid other oils in the evening since they are more difficult to digest.

So wheat germ is simply the nutrient-rich core of a whole wheat kernel. Though it makes up only about 3 percent of the whole wheat berry, nutritionally it's the motherlode. It's rich in vitamin E, zinc, iron, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, thiamin, folate, vitamin B6, manganese, and selenium. A 'At cup of wheat germ contain 104 calories, more than 6 g of protein, a little more than 2 g of healthy fat, and almost 4 g of fiber. The oil in wheat germ is also a source of a compound called octacosanol.

As shown in the table on the next page, important nutrients disappear when whole wheat or other grains are refined. As this baker s dozen shows, the losses can be dramatic. For example, refined wheat flour has only 5% of the vitamin E as whole wheat flour. It is reasonable as well to suspect chronic latent magnesium deficiency in anyone eating white bread and white rice and other heavily processed foods.

Did you know that a potato turns into glucose in your body far faster than a slice of whole wheat bread? Or that carrots and bananas turn into glucose nearly as fast as a cookie does? We can measure the effect of carbohydrate-rich foods on blood sugar on a scale called the glycemic index (GI). Pure glucose has a GI of 100; carbohydrate sources that break down very slowly, such as lentils, can have a GI below 10.

Whole wheat, whole rye, bulgur wheat, whole oats, barley, buckwheat (kasha or buckwheat groats), whole corn, cornmeal, wild rice, brown rice, popcorn, and less well-known whole grains, such as couscous, kamut (a relative of durum wheat), quinoa, amaranth, millet, spelt, teff, triticale, grano, and faro. There is a marvelous variety of choices, both familiar and new. You can also eat cereals that do not contain added sugar and oil— old-fashioned oats, for instance (not the quick-cooking variety), shredded wheat, and brand names like Grape-Nuts.
Whole-grain pastas are allowed—those made from whole wheat, brown rice, spelt, and quinoa. (Be careful about restaurant pasta. It is often egg-based and made from white flour, and there may well be oil lurking in the marinara sauce.) 4. Fruit. Fruits of all varieties are permitted. A word of caution is in order, however: it is preferable to limit your fruit consumption to three pieces a day (or, for berries and grapes, three servings, each about the size of a modest handful). It is also best to avoid drinking pure fruit juices.

He ate rice, pasta, and whole wheat bread; drank skim milk and several glasses of pure vegetable and fruit juices a day; and eschewed all fat. Nonetheless, he was hypertensive, had an enlarging aorta, very low HDL {"good") cholesterol, and high triglycerides—despite being on statins and antihypertensives. He came to me after his own doctor had diagnosed diabetes. In our first meeting, he still couldn't get over the irony. "I'm doing everything right! How come everything is going wrong?

Be sure the list of ingredients uses a phrase like "whole wheat" or "whole grain." Avoid semolina and wheat flour, which are actually white. Use brown rice. 8. Do not drink fruit juice. (It is fine to eat fruit, or to use small amounts of fruit juice in recipes or to flavor beverages.) 9. Do not eat any nuts (although if you have no heart disease, you can occasionally have walnuts). 10. Do not eat avocados. That includes guacamole! 11. Do not eat coconut. 12. Eat soy products cautiously. Many are highly processed and high in fat. Use "light" tofu.

Foods that have more arginine than lysine include gelatin, chocolate, carob, coconut, oats, whole wheat and white flour, peanuts, soybeans, and wheat germ. Best to stay away if you're having—or expecting—an outbreak. And if you want the therapeutic benefits of lysine for the prevention or control of herpes, it's best to take supplements. You're just not going to get nearly enough from food alone. Everyday Prevention Like many conditions discussed in this book, herpes has a very intimate relationship with stress. Stress makes it worse. A lot worse.

Most beige foods are just baked sugar or flour, or are made to appear "healthy" by the addition of such ingredients as whole wheat flour. Don't be deceived. In general, if a package trumpets the words "all natural," "fat free," "no cholesterol," "old fashioned," "heart healthy," "sugar free," "no added sugar," or the like, run the other way. Clearly, I cannot list every food you may come across that has no place in your diet, so, when in doubt, leave it out.

Breads containing only whole wheat are usually labeled "100% whole wheat." Vegetarianism Compared with meat eaters, most,15 but not all,16 studies have found that vegetarians are less likely to be diagnosed with cancer. Vegetarians have also been shown to have stronger immune functioning (page 255), possibly explaining why vegetarians may be partially protected against cancer.17 Female vegetarians have been reported to have lower estrogen levels compared with meat-eating women, possibly explaining a lower incidence of breast cancer that has been reported in vegetarian women.

Enriched white flour has less than a quarter of the zinc found in whole wheat flour because the zinc is lost in milling. Many breakfast cereals are fortified with zinc. Zinc deficiency in agricultural samples is very common with only a small percentage of agricultural soils providing adequate zinc. :ion of Zinc Zinc absorption in the intestines varies from 15 to 40 percent. Zinc can be absorbed by a special protein in the intestinal cells called metallothionein. As you may recall, this is the same protein that can bind copper. Zinc is held by metallothionein until needed in the blood.

Remarkably, although the whole wheat bread contained fifty percent more iron than the white bread, the body wasn't able to extract it. In addition, bran has also been shown to cause fecal loss of calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, nitrogen, fats, fatty acids and sterols, thus depleting the body of these materials. These findings are of particular concern to people suffering from conditions related to nutrient deficiencies. The get-your-daily-fiber-mania can put several sections of the population at considerable health risk from eating too much fiber in their diet.

An average of 76 percent of the magnesium in whole wheat is removed in the refining process and none is added back. About 70 percent of the magnesium in brown rice is lost in the conversion to white rice. In addition to its role in activating thiamin, magnesium is needed by an enzyme that controls the first four steps of aerobic energy production. Deficiency of magnesium can slow down this energy-producing cycle. Most energy production and energy transfer in cells uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which exists as a complex with magnesium.

Animals that were fed enriched white flour products died first because the enrichment of this flour is from synthetic vitamins and minerals. Raw whole wheat contains approximately fifty main nutrients whereas refined white flour contains no more than two or three. Too Much Protein Our bodies use protein to make, repair, and replace tissue. The structural materials of cells are proteins reinforced by minerals. Contrary to popular opinion, the body does not use protein from its tissues for energy.

Food sources: Asparagus, broccoli, lima beans, green peas, sweet potatoes, bean sprouts, whole wheat, cantaloupe, strawberries, brewer's yeast, and leafy green vegetables, such as spinach and kale. Supplements: The folic acid content in foods can be depleted by cooking, so supplementation may be necessary. Typical therapeutic dose: 400 meg daily. Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) has been proven effective in treating restless legs syndrome, which may be caused by decreased circulation to the legs.

Complex carbohydrates, such as found in brown rice, whole wheat, rye, oats, barley, millet, whole fruits, and vegetables are high in borh fiber and vitamin content and therefore the preferred form of carbohydrates. Refined carbohydrates, on the other hand, must be placed in the group of unhealthy foods. Sugar, a refined carbohydrate, is a significant factor in the development of atherosclerosis.125 High-sugar diets lead to elevations in triglycerides and cholesterol and also to an increase in insulin production.

Vitamins and Minerals Demystified

Only 13 percent of the Vitamin B6 in whole wheat remains after it is refined into white flour. White rice contains only 34 percent of the vitamin B6 present in brown rice. Vitamin B6 is not normally added back to grains during enrichment. Unfortunately, the vitamin B6 content of other common carbohydrates, such as sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and alcohol is very low. Without enough vitamin B6, it is more difficult to burn carbohydrates. Energy metabolism in cells is controlled by thyroid hormones. Both iodine and selenium are needed by thyroid hormones to stimulate metabolism.
About 43 percent of the pantothenic acid in whole wheat is lost in the milling process. Enriched grains such as white flour are not enriched with pantothenic acid. In addition, freezing and processing can decrease the remaining pantothenic acid by approximately half. Deficiency of pantothenic acid may be one limiting factor in energy production. Pantothenic acid, in acetyl-coenzyme A, is at the center of energy production. It is needed not only for fat burning, but also in the burning of carbohydrates and protein. Thiamin, vitamin Bp plays a key role in the burning of energy in all cells.
