Maybe give some free advice about: Cooking? lulabelle answered Friday June 23 2006, 9:19 pm: The way in which food is produced today, such as how we raise our animals, the chemicals that we put on our fruits and vegetables, and the hybrid plants and animals that we've come up w/ so that someone out there can make more money, IS what is dangerous for us to eat, cooked or uncooked. This is such a complicated issue and I will not be able to cover all of the details here. I will include some websites for you. But to break it down simply: Any fast food that you eat is detrimental to your health. No question about it. You are consuming more chemicals than you are real food, for example. They put MSG (monosodium glutamate) also known as "natural flavorings" in about everything you eat. This is a known toxin that creates lesions in your brain. This substance is used in all fast food restaurants as a preservative. Have you ever wondered how cut up lettuce in the restaurant can last longer then the lettuce you cut up at home? That's because MSG is used not only as a flavoring, but also as a preservative. Most Chinese restaurants use it, though there are some that you can request they not use it. Have you noticed how store bought fruits when purchased unripe go from unripe to rotten? The animals that you are eating are raised in such horrific conditions that the conglomerates have to give them antibiotics to keep them from getting too sick too fast. They want to keep them well enough to get them to market. When you consume these meats you are ingesting these antibiotics which over (as you get older) time will render the antibiotics your doctor gives you to heal you when you are ill, not effective. Cows are given hormones so that they are in a continuous state of lactation. Their udders get so huge they can hardly stand up. Because of this unnatural state they are put in they become infected and are given antibiotics, but the antibiotics don't work that well and so pus gets into the milk. That's why they have to pasteurize the milk. I get raw milk and believe me there is a huge difference in taste and quality of the milk. Now we have another chemical that is getting into our bodies and that is hormones. If people are wondering why all of a sudden, since the late 1970s/early 80's you are seeing such an increase in PMS then consider the hormones women are ingesting on a regular basis that they do not need. Teenagers have enough of a problem facing puberty and their natural hormonal turmoil that they don't need anymore hormones in their systems either. Now let's talk steroids. Did you know that the meat you eat is filled w/steroids? It certainly is. Why would they do that you ask? Because it makes the animals grow faster. They are forcing the animals to grow in an unnatural state so they can bring them to market faster and make more money. It all boils down to the money. Someone is getting rich. Any sick cows that they can't sell they grind up and feed to the cows. This is an unnatural diet for them which is why we are starting to see Mad Cows disease. Since the public have found out about this feeding proceedure they say they don't do this anymore. Sure. The reason we don't see more of mad cows disease is because they usually kill the cows before this disease has had a chance to incubate. It can take up to 20 years or more to show up. Mad cows disease can be caught by humans and what you are not being told is that people already have the symptoms. Look at the rapid increase of Alzheimer's. Same symptoms different name. All they have to do to deflect our questions is to name something differently. Anytime you have a species cannibalizing you will see this disease and it can be caught by anyone that eats something that is infected. There is a tribe of people in New Genii who were cannibals. It was a ritual for these people to eat loved ones so that, in their minds, they would be w/them forever. They would come down w/the same symptoms we call mad cows disease. Scientists have made a direct connection here. Salmonella was nonexistent when I was a girl. People put raw eggs in protein drinks etc. because raw eggs are very good for you. The yolk is great for the brain and the whites are good for you if you are working out or training in some way. Now, you can't eat it because of the conventional conditions chickens are put in while they are raised. They are crowded into cages and piled one on top of the other. They poop all over each other and never get out of the cages until they die. They too are given hormones, steroids and antibiotics so that they can pass inspection and go to market. Chickens are also feed sick chickens. None of these animals are good for you to eat. People need to be more demanding of organically raised free range animals that are fed their natural diets. Sick animals means sick people. So, if you are referring to the commercialized foods that are in the stores, restaurants, fast foods, etc. as safe to eat? Then my answer is no one should be eating that. Our maker put everything we need to survive here on the planet for us in it's perfect form to eat. Anytime we mess with the natural order of things we are creating new diseases that we have to contend with.
The cooking/processing of foods kills the natural enzymes (the staff of life) that are in whole foods when they are highly processed. Everything has the enzymes in it to help us to digest them naturally and there would be no heartburn, indigestion, bloating, obesity,and a whole list of diseases not to mention better absorption of its nutrients if we were eating the foods naturally. Your body is only give a limited amount of enzymes in its life and because we are eating cooked processed foods we are using our supply. These enzymes were meant to be a backup system, yet we rely on them solely. Now people are taking digestive enzymes and digestive aids because they have used up their supply. The older you get the more problems people have w/ their digestion. When people let themselves get into this condition it makes it difficult to digest even the raw vegetables. Have you ever heard an older person say, I can't eat stuff like that anymore? This is why. I will include a few websites for you to see for yourself. As you will see I could only touch on it here and not all that well. Good luck in your search and you are welcome to ask me any questions that may come to mind on this or any subject.
