Gee, I'm terribly upset over the news about soy
beans. I knew I'd never give a baby formula if I
could help it but I thought they were great for
adults. So now I don't know what to have for
breakfast.
Many folks who have trouble with eggs after cooking
them have no trouble with one or two raw eggs in a
smoothy. I frequently make a smoothy with generous CS
as a base, a cup of non-fat powdered milk (for extra
protein and calcium gluconate), 3 tblsp nutritional
yeast, a couple eggs, a shot of Concentrace, ½ or 1
tsp vanilla, a fresh or frozen banana for sweetener
(or, more often, a squirt of liquid Stevia). A tbsn of
olive or coconut oil is good. Mix well in a blender
until smooth (A smoothy). This is a high-protein
breakfast that sticks to your ribs. In place of
powdered milk, one could use equal amounts of CS and
fruit juice. Wouldnt need as much sweetener that way.
The value of ingesting good eggs (not commercial eggs)
every day cannot be ignored. Plus, raw eggs are the
easiest to digest. The nutritional yeast will
stabilize your blood sugar about the best of the
concentrated foods.
Here is a section from my brochure, Nutritional
Insights:
CONCENTRATED FOODS:
100 years ago, most of the food grown in North America
was grown on many small farms that dotted the land.
Most of these small farmers utilized such healthy land
management techniques as crop rotation, replacement of
minerals in the ground through the use of organic
fertilizers (cow, horse and chicken manure,
composting, etc.), "resting" the soil, complementary
planting, etc. These techniques had the effect of
"renewing" the ground by replacing and balancing the
important minerals that were needed for healthy crops.
Today's commercial farming techniques focus primarily
on quantity, not quality. Farmers have discovered that
if they use large quantities of nitrogen, potassium
and phosphorus, their crops will spring up and mature
quickly. However, these crops are grown in soil that
is rarely replenished or balanced with the minerals
that are taken from the soil by the plants, so they
contain very little nutrition. A commercial potato
farmer will grow the same crop in the same soil year
after year, never giving the soil a rest and never
growing another kind of crop to enable the soil to
balance itself. (He is, after all, a potato farmer.)
Even the fertilizer he uses does not consist of the
minerals which the soil needs, but is primarily made
up of nitrogen and a few other substances which spur
the crop to grow quickly, even though deficient in
minerals.
Modern oranges are picked so green that the sellers
spray them with an orange dye to make them look ripe.
Tomatoes are "gassed" with a chemical that turns them
red. Then they call them "vine-ripened"! When you
consider the normal commercial farming practices of
poor soil management, unbalanced chemical fertilizing
and early harvesting (before the crops are ripe, in
order to ship them long distances to market), then you
can see why our food does not contain the minerals
which our bodies need even for simple daily
functioning, let alone for overcoming illness and
maintaining good health.
The surest indicator of good mineral content is,
simply, taste. Most people know the difference between
the anemic taste of a store-bought tomato and the
powerful, robust taste of a home-grown, fully
vine-ripened, dark red tomato. Simply put, the
back-yard tomato has many times the nutrition of the
commercial one, and therefore, many times the taste.
The commercial tomato will spoil much faster than the
home-garden one, because the commercial one contains
little nutrition for the tomato to live on.
Nowadays, for people to try to provide their bodies
with extra nutrition in order to overcome the effect
of years of poor eating habits, simply eating whole
grains and fresh fruits and vegetables will not
suffice. A person must regularly ingest concentrated
foods (in addition to quality supplements) to make up
for the lack of nutrients in today's
commercially-grown foods.
Blackstrap molasses is an excellent source of many of
the trace minerals (mortar to hold the bricks
together) and many of the primary minerals (iron,
potassium, etc.). Modern white sugar is made by taking
a high-sugar food like cane or beets and separating
the sugar from the nutrients. Pure white sugar is
"Pure" of all nutrients. What is left after the sugar
is removed is a highly concentrated brew of minerals
called "crude" blackstrap molasses. It can be used in
cookies, hot cereal, pies, cakes, etc. Table or Fancy
molasses, as it's called, has a higher sugar content
than blackstrap, but still has more minerals than
white sugar.
Nutritional yeast (also called 'brewers yeast' or
'farm' yeast) contains a rich source of minerals and
B-vitamins. When beer is brewed, most of the nutrients
are removed from the beer (hence, the name, 'brewers'
yeast), and for many years the yeast was simply thrown
away. (People drank the nutrient-less beer!) Then
farmers began to feed the yeast to their animals
because it was so nutritious. It's finally become
clear that concentrated nutrients are good for people,
too! One to three tablespoons per day (of nutritonal
yeast - brewers yeast is quite bitter) is very good
for you. It contains all the B-vitamins and most of
the minerals. It can be sprinkled on salads,
vegetables, soups, popcorn, etc., and put into
"smoothies" (shakes).
Wheat germ contains about 30% of the nutrition found
in the wheat seed/berry, and is a wonderful addition
to breads, salads, stews, casseroles, pancakes,
cookies, etc. It is best to try to buy it fresh (ask
the store manager when it comes in) and keep it
refrigerated, as it becomes rancid easily.
Most any of the concentrated green/herbal drinks or
powders are good (Mattol, Barley Green, Wheat Grass
juice or powder, Blue-Green Algae, Spirulina, etc.).
Also, juicing various fruits and vegetables can be a
good source of concentrated vitamins, minerals and
enzymes. An 8-oz. glass of carrot juice contains the
nutrition of 5-8 carrots, but whoever eats 5-8 carrots
at one time? And, of course, supplements of various
kinds give us concentrated forms of nutrients,
provided they are not synthetic but natural (extracted
from foods), and provided they can be easily
assimilated.
