So what exactly are whole foods?
It's simple. Whole foods are literally a natural, raw product of nature. Whole foods have not been altered chemically or genetically modified in any way. These include vegetables, grains, and meat that are grown without using chemical fertilizers or pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, grains that are not polished or processed in any way. Whole foods are free of all additives, coloring or anything else... especially GMOs. Whole foods are seasonal foods taken from as close to the source as possible and contain no preservatives and aren't frozen. The very best way to eat your whole food is fresh and raw. Note: Natural drying processes are safe and allow for most of the nutritional value to be retained in whole food for longer storing.
Your body was designed with the innate ability to recognize the pure nutrition that only nature provides! Whole foods are purest form of nutrition available - they are alive. They carry bio-electric energy and other complex nutritional messages that vibrate with frequencies that energize the body. Our cells recognize the bio-electric messages found only in foods that absorb sun light and grow naturally from the earth. (Visit our Whole food Store for more on this...)
Four levels of "organic"
Note: Bottled water has NO regulations at all! |
100% Organic: contains 100% certified organic ingredients. Typically a one-ingredient food, such as fruits and vegetables. As of October 21, 2002, any food sold as "organic" in the United States will have to meet criteria set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The National Organic Rule outlines reserves the terms "100 percent organic" and "organic" for foods produced without hormones, antibiotics, herbicides, insecticides, synthetic fertilizers, or germ-killing radiation.
The term "organic" is applied broadly to non-organic foods produced without artificial additives, sweeteners, colorings, hormones, antibiotics or preservatives and only minimally processed.
Unfortunately, the word "natural" may appear on the label of anything at all (not only foods) at the manufacturer's whim.
And the scariest truth of all...
...the FDA does NOT require "organic" food labels to state if your food has been Genetically Modified!
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) may be the Single Most Dangerous Threat Ever to Humans and Animals... EVER!!!
And the FDA isn't telling you! This is scary stuff people!
Back to Whole food...
Nutritionists and homeopaths agree... Whole food contains the highest content of nature's phytonutrients, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The healing power of simply eating a whole food diet has been proven in 100's of independent studies. The personal stories we've heard from people who used whole foods to cure cancer (among other aliments) are simply amazing.
There are also 1000's studies that prove without a doubt that the poisons in our food (not whole food) are killing us faster and faster.
Just a tiny sampling of report findings...
"The thousands of vitamins, minerals and phyto-chemicals [beneficial plant compounds] in whole foods act synergistically together to create a more powerful effect than the sum of their parts, producing a result which cannot be recreated by supplements." Jeff Prince, VP for education at the American Institute for Cancer Research. The FDA has approved the health claim that, "Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the risk of heart disease." (If you still care about what the FDA says...) The Environmental Protection Agency reports that the average American consumes 4 pounds of pesticides each year and has residues from over 400 toxic substances in his body. More than 3,000 chemical additives are found in the food we eat. "Antibiotic medicines are losing effectiveness on humans due to their increased use in animal feed.... Animals raised in 100% natural environments rarely require the use of antibiotics. Americans who choose meat produced this way are making conscious decisions to ensure that antibiotics will still be working when they or their family need them..... Beef and poultry are not currently required to bear labels that clearly explain the presence of or use of antibiotics in feed - even the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rules for meat labeled "natural" do not require all antibiotics be eliminated. " Margaret Mellon, Ph.D, JD, director of the food and environment program for the Union of Concerned Scientists. "...there is a link between the use of antibiotics in food animals, the development of bacterial resistance to these drugs, and human disease." (www.nas.edu); National Academy of Sciences, in a report prepared at the request of the United States Dept. of Agriculture and the FDA 1998 In June 2001, the American Medical Association (AMA) adopted a resolution opposing non-therapeutic use of antimicrobials in animal agriculture (www.ama-assn.org) " A diet high in cereal and vegetable fiber (35 grams versus 15 grams) reduces the risk of colon cancer by 40 percent" Recent findings in the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) "Men who ate 10 servings of tomato products weekly reduced their risk of prostate cancer by 35 percent compared with men who ate fewer than 1.5 servings...." Harvard Health Professional study. While the benefit is largely attributed to the phytochemical lycopene, trials of lycopene (isolated) so far have found it is less potent than the tomato. "A diet high in fruits and vegetables reduced stroke risk by 28 percent, and fruit alone reduced the risk by 40 percent..." American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2003. "Pharmaceutical Rice Crop Fails to Win Approval," Forces opposing genetically modified organisms were victorious when the Agriculture Department and the State of California denied Ventia Bioscience permission to grow 120 crops of commercial rice containing genetically engineered pharmaceutical drugs. "... a broccoli sprout compound called sulforaphane could succeed where antibiotics failed--against the H. pylori (bacteria that causes ulcers) that was lurking inside cells where antibiotics can't go and against forms of the bacteria that were antibiotic resistant. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2002 "Having a powerful immune system in place at all times is one of the best cancer defenses you can have," Mitchell Gaynor, MD, medical oncology director at Strang Cancer Prevention Center in New York City. "...3,600 people and tested them against human cancer cells in test tubes. People whose NK cells (Natural Killer) killed the most test-tube cancer cells also had the lowest risk of developing cancer over the following 11 years... And what foods did people with the strongest NK cells eat? In general, more vegetables and fruit, but especially the green veggies such as spinach and broccoli that are packed with a cancer-fighting arsenal of vitamin C, folic acid, beta-carotene, and potent phytochemicals." The Lancet, Nov 25, 2000
Rule #1) Eat 5-9 or more servings of antioxidant-packed vegetables and fruits daily Rule #2) Eat 7 or more daily servings of whole grains, legumes, and root vegetables
These statistics go on and on and on... you get the point. Whole food is the ONLY food that provides maximum nutrition for you and your family, and is 100% without adverse affect to health. |
"A 13-year study of nearly 30,000 women found that those who followed six or more guidelines from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) ran a 35 percent lower risk of cancer than women who met one or none... "
