I. INTRODUCTION

Many people believe that a certain diet and particular supplements are the key to health. The reality is that they can also be killers.

I have learned a lot about popular bad dietary advice by working with tens of thousands of people over 44 years. This article discusses some of the major errors people make, and which many health professionals teach.

THE KILLER DIETARY ADVICE

It consists of:

1. Not enough cooked vegetables.

2. A lot of raw food in the diet.

3. A vegetarian diet.

4. Lots of exercise.

5. Smoothies and protein powders.

6. Lots of nutritional supplements.

7. Lots of juices.

8. Fruit in the diet.

9. Too much fermented food.

10. Mushrooms or other fungi.

11. Eating fish, shellfish and pig products.

12. Drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages.

13. Eating chocolate, even pure dark chocolate.

14. Using herbs and homeopathy, especially a lot or long-term use.

15. Lots of vitamin C – 2 grams daily or more for adults and less for children.

II. EXPLANATION - WHY IT KILLS

1. Not enough cooked vegetables. These are needed in large amounts and with every meal. They are the main source of minerals for our bodies.

There is no substitute. They are essential. Eat them every day at every meal – and not frozen and no microwave ovens. Fresh food only or canned if you cannot find fresh. Best to steam or pressure cook vegetables.

2. Raw foods. Humans cannot absorb nutrients well from raw vegetables. We are not cows. The reason is that the human digestive tract cannot break down tough vegetable fibers well enough to extract the bulk of the minerals from the vegetables. For details, read Raw Food.

THE YIN PROBLEM

Also, uncooked food is much more cold or yin in macrobiotic terms. This is a problem because all the bodies today are already too yin, and yin or coldness destroys the body.

Yin is a physics term. It is a situation in which the body is too cold, watery and expanded. While it is a subtle concept, it is very real and is an ancient healing concept.

Yin is also related to a slow oxidation rate, weak adrenal glands, a weak thyroid gland, and mental weakness as well. For details, read Yin Disease and Yin And Yang Healing.

3. A vegetarian diet. This diet is deficient in sulfur amino acids, zinc, carnitine, taurine and many other nutrients. Stay away!!! For many more details, read Vegetarian Diets.

4. Lots of exercise. The bodies today are too weak, toxic and depleted for so much exercise.  The exercise damages the adrenals, the thyroid, the joints and more. For details, read Exercise.

5. Drinking smoothies. These have many problems. They are bad food combinations in most cases. They include too much water which dilutes the stomach acid. Most also contain sugars or sweets so they are extremely yin. For details, read Smoothies.

6. Lots of supplements. Most nutritional supplements are very yin. Also, when not chosen carefully, supplements easily negate one another in their metabolic effects. For details, read Nutritional Supplements.

7. Juices. These are nourishing, but also very yin because they are raw and broken apart. Fruit juices are particularly yin. We only recommend 10 to 12 ounces of carrot juice only for adults per day and less for children. No fruit juices!

8. Fruit in the diet. Sadly, fruit is not a good food today. It picks up a lot of toxic potassium from the N-P-K fertilizers used on all of it, it is very yin in macrobiotic terminology, is high in sugar, is less clean and has other problems. The exception is one can eat 2-3 black kalamata or botija olives per week. For more details, read Fruit-Eating.

9. A lot of fermented food. Some fermented food is very good. We recommend some goat cheese, yogurt, kefir and a little sauerkraut, cole slaw, and a little dill pickle. The problem is fermented food is very yin because it is raw and it contains fungal or yeast organisms. For details, read Fermented Food.

10. Mushrooms. These are popular today and even recommended by some health authorities. However, they are very yin and all are somewhat toxic. For details, read Mushrooms.

11. Eating fish, seafood and pig products. Very sadly, most fish today is too high in mercury. Seafood is even worse because most is raised in shallow water and contaminated with other toxic metals and chemicals in addition to mercury. We only recommend sardines and a little herring for this reason. For details, read Fish-Eating, And Why Avoid Almost All Fish.

Pig products are all contaminated with trichina worms and have other problems, as well. The Bible forbids them for a good reason – they slow or stop development. For details, read the new article, Pig Products.

12. Drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages. Some health authorities recommend drinking some wine because it contains anti-oxidants and other nutrients. However, all alcoholic beverages are very yin and alcohol destroys the body.

Wine is the the worst of alcoholic beverages in terms of toxic chemicals because growing grapes commercially almost always requires some lead arsenate pesticide, even organic wine.

13. Eating chocolate. Some health authorities recommend eating pure, dark chocolate because it contains anti-oxidant nutrients. However, it is another toxic food that unbalances the body.

14. Using herbs and homeopathy, especially using a lot or long-term use. Herbs have a number of problems. Many are somewhat toxic. Herbs pick up toxic metals and many of them have drug-like effects. If they did not have drug-like effects, they would be called food, not herbs.

Most herbs and herbal preparations are also too yin. Coffee is an exception when used in enemas and it is excellent. For details, read Herbs and Coffee Enemas.

Homeopathy is toxic and very yin, although the toxicity is subtle. Please do not use it. For details, read Homeopathy.

15. Three or more grams of vitamin C daily. Vitamin C is extremely cold or yin. In addition, it is a chelator that lowers copper in the body, in particular. It will also remove other vital minerals via chelation. For details, read Vitamin C.

HOW DOES THE KILLER DIETARY COMBO AFFECT THE BODY AND BRAIN?

It makes the body more toxic and extremely yin. These are the main destructive effects. It does not matter if the person seems well-nourished, usually thanks to the juices and the nutritional supplements.
