'The state of the facts is the state of the facts ...!' The Kousmine foundation wrote:2. The causes imbalance In the past few decades, our way of eating has been profoundly changed.
a)
Excess meat and dairy products
Meat and cheese have supplanted the bread of our ancestors with disastrous effects on our health and the environment.
• This results in excessive consumption of saturated fat. These stiffen the membranes of our cells, preventing cell exchanges and causing tissue damage. They favor the appearance of cardiovascular pathologies, metabolic and degenerative diseases. There will also be consequences on brain activity and nervous balance. It is important to take into account the fats hidden mainly in meat, cold meats, cheeses, pastries. A lean steak contains 1/3 of its weight in fat. A fatty cheese is as fatty as fatty meat. Another source of saturated and oxidized fats are refined vegetable oils. These are heated up to 200 ° before being extracted then refined, discolored, deodorized to make them edible. These are dead oils, toxic to the body. Be wary of refined cold pressed oils that are extracted with chemical solvents. Also avoid margarines prepared from the above oils, which, moreover, are hydrogenated. (These margarines are widely used in pastries, cupcakes, aperitifs and industrial dishes).
• The lure of dairy products
We live in constant fear of running out of calcium. Under the effects of insidious advertising, we think: "You need a lot of calcium, therefore you need milk!" Dairy products do contain calcium in good quantities, but cause acidification of the body due, among other things, to an excess of phosphates. Not only will the calcium in milk be poorly absorbed, but demineralization with the risk of osteoporosis will be observed over time. To this is added the poison of UHT milks where the enzymes used to digest fatty bodies have been destroyed, the fats passing directly into the blood in the form of very toxic free fatty acids. A healthy and diversified diet based on vegetables and unrefined cereals would largely cover our calcium needs without having to poison ourselves with UHT milks ... even organic!
b)
Excess sugar and white flour
Our sugar consumption went from 2,4 kg per person per year in 1840 to almost 50 kg today! We compensate for the stress, the emptiness of existence, a lack of love ... by eating chocolate, cakes, pastries and treats of all kinds ... But these foods feed us with empty calories, intoxicate us with dyes , preservatives and bad fats. They cause intestinal fermentations, a risk of obesity and diabetes, a decrease in immunity with repeated infections, dental caries, aggressiveness and above all dependence:
sugar calls sugar.Beware of fake sugars like aspartame (Canderel) very toxic, carcinogenic and which makes blood sugar uncontrollable. We also consume far too much food based on white flour (bread, dough, pastries, etc.). And there is currently an outbreak of gluten intolerance. All these operations of refining sugar, cereals or oils largely remove vitamins and minerals, disturb the structure of proteins and lipids,
which weakens the immune system and the nervous system and acidifies the body.
[Etc ... note the cause of sugar confirmed by the Israeli study]
