Thought for the day: Think Micro, Eat Many!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: You’d need to be a full-time health researcher to keep up with all the breakthroughs in the benefits of sourcing your nutrition from as wide a range of foods as possible. So, eat many different foods to take in a wide range of micronutrients which will improve your chances of maintaining good health.
For decades food companies have been marketing false messages effectively promoting the dietary equivalent of, “Never mind the quality, taste the flavour!” Or promoting one false datum after another to forward their corporate profit agenda. Like, “Fat is bad for you, low fat is good. See, our product is low fat!” And it’s killing us. Literally.
I have done over 1300 hours research over the last three years and have learned a large number of very powerful datums with regards to health and how to keep it.
During this research one of the most important datums I relearned was first told me by a doctor over 20 years ago. He told me to eat as wide a variety of foods as possible. Boy, was he spot on the money.
Most people eat for taste. If it tastes good, we eat it. With little regard for tomorrow’s waistline or our future health. I call these people taste victims.
Some more aware people eat with an eye on their macro nutrient intake. Macro nutrients are fats, carbs, protein and fibre. While this is far better than being a taste victim, it falls short of optimal nutrition. You can still, despite eating a proper balance of fat, carbs, protein and fibre, be an appropriate weight for your height, be under nourished and building degenerative disease. It’s all about the nutrient quality!
Incredibly few of us eat for micro nutrients. Micro nutrients are traditionally defined as minerals and vitamins, of which we get far fewer in out diet than we did 50 years ago.
But micro nutrients are far more than just vitamins and minerals. Researchers are identifying a staggering number of nutrients previously unknown. I won’t bother listing them all as that would just be confusing as the names would not mean anything unless you know what they did.
But let’s just look at one, Quercetin. A quote from my book available at http://www.DefeatDegenerativeDisease.com
Quercetin is a bioflavanoid. (Bioflavonoids are a group of plant substances with recognized antioxidant (free radical scavenging) properties and with the ability to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes which cause inflammation in the body. There are over 20,000 different bioflavonoids.) It is found in the skin of apples, citrus fruit, red onions, buckwheat, broccoli, summer squash and black tea. It has found to inhibit the ability of Rhinovirus to replicate. Rhinovirus causes the majority of colds and triggers exacerbations of asthma, cystic fibrosis, emphysema and bronchitis. From: http://www.naturalnews.com/028981_quercetin_lung_disease.html
Quercetin reduces risk of heart disease by 50% and has been shown to stop the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. It also reduces the stickiness of platelets in the blood stream which can cause clotting and blockages in blood vessels.
Quercetin, at dosages of 1,500 to 2,000 mg daily, can often prevent allergy symptoms. It does this by stabilising the walls of the cells that contain histamine and serotonin (mast cells and basophils) and prevents the release of these chemicals. From: http://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=35&db=6&C0=1
So, the bottom line is, the more micronutrients you eat, the better. The wider the variety of foods you eat, the better. Hence the headline, Think Micro, Eat Many!
Eat many different foods to take in as wide a range of micronutrients as possible and improve your chances of maintaining good health.
P.S. Quercetin containing buckwheat is in many of my energy bars and slices available at

Ex pharma sales rep Gwen Olsen says Big Pharma only interested in profits, not health

Gwen Olsen, an ex-pharmaceutical sales representative, is using her personal experience and insider knowledge to turn the tables on Big Pharma and tell people the disturbing and disheartening truth about the highly corrupt industry: it’s only after the money, not the health of its patients.

Gwen, a 2007 Human Rights Award recipient, is a dedicated mental health activist, public speaker, and writer committed to child and mental health advocacy; her specialties include promoting the cessation of America’s over medication of its children and teens.

It’s hard to imagine that this same woman was once a successful pharmaceutical sales rep for more than 15 years, working for many of the industry’s big name manufacturers. “We (were) being trained to misinform people,” said Gwen.

Olive Oil for Salads and Coconut Oil for Cooking

People who use more olive oil are at less risk for stroke than people who don’t. But for cooking, use coconut oil. It is the only oil that does not change molecular structure when it is heated.

In Today's Newsletter from Dr. Al Sears

Protein is damaged by heat. You “denature” protein when you heat it for too long, or when you cook it in very high heat. The nature of the protein changes.
This happens when you process or “cure” meat. To sterilize medical supplies and instruments they heat them to an extreme, which denatures proteins in any bacteria that may be there, destroying them.
Pre-cooked and pre-packaged meats like hot dogs, smoked meats, lunch meats, bacon and breakfast sausage, pepperoni and lox, and especially soy proteins, are all “cured” the same way.
They’ve had their proteins sterilized. Their nutritional value has been ruined. And they’re not what I would consider healthy. And when your body breaks down these cured proteins, a byproduct can combine with the nitrites used in meat processing to make nitrosamines.
There are over 300 different forms of nitrosamines, and over 90 percent are cancer-causing.
So when it comes to eating protein, I recommend following these two steps:
Step 1: Eat protein from a variety of natural sources. That can be anything from eating a raw egg every morning like my father would, to having a scoop of grass-fed whey protein from a pure and trusted source.
Besides having undenatured protein that will not form nitrosamines, they are the most bio-available kinds of protein. The least bio-available are vegetable proteins from beans, for example. But those are still better for you than protein from cured or processed meat.
Milk also has protein, but pasteurized milk protein is denatured. Whole, raw milk still has its proteins intact.
Step 2: Take the nutrients that fight nitrosamines: vitamins C and E. Scientists found vitamin C’s protective power by accident. Researchers were studying nitrosamine formation caused by a drug they were testing. When they went to use a new batch, no nitrosamines were formed. They found that the new batch had been made with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a preservative, but the original batch had not. Vitamin E has a similar effect.
Studies show vitamin C works by disarming free radicals before they can damage your DNA and stimulate tumor growth.
When you add vitamin E, you increased the protection of vitamin C. As it turns out vitamin E is a “synergistic” nutrient. It needs other antioxidants to work best. It’s prevention at its finest.
