All about the perils of high protein diets, fructose, meat, eggs, and milk. This book will surprise you, as the researching for it surprised me. The good news is that it is much simpler to gain the optimal nutrition than we have been mislead to believe. No more worries about 'am I getting enough protein'.
This book explains the modern Western epidemics of cancer, osteoporosis, kidney disease, obesity, arthritis, depression, anxiety, hyper-tension, heart disease (heart attacks and strokes), and senescence.
This book is about living longer, healthier, more physically and mentally vital and active lives, long into our eighties and beyond.
We will clear up the many myths that have been propagated both by professional 'deceivers' known as the mass media and marketing, and as an unintended consequences of otherwise well intentioned nutritionists.
We will see just how easy it is to ensure you and your loved ones an optimal nutrition. It is so much easier, cheaper, and simpler than I ever imagined.
Remember that we all share the health costs incurred by the Western diet. Will you or your loved ones be the next patients refused treatment by your health insurance fund because all the resources of that fund have been depleted on illnesses and diseases that could have been prevented and avoided, with little effort, self-discipline, education, and good will?
Eggs: Giving free range to free radicals
Long running studies of thousands of people indicate that eating eggs more than 6 times a week more than doubles your chances of dying of heart disease., and a provides a greatly reduced risk of strokes, blood clots, high blood pressure, and cancers of the breast, prostate, colon, lung, and brain.
Cholesterol does the most damage to our arteries as so-called ‘free radicals’, that is, when it is oxidized. Eggs and egg-derived products are the main source of oxidized cholesterol in our diet.
Research shows that one egg a day can increase your risk of heart disease in the next five to ten years by 8%. Make it two eggs a day and that risk is now 12%. This effectively correlates to a 30% greater risk of coronary heart disease over the two-egg a day young man’s lifetime.
Eggs are filled with too much protein, cholesterol, calories, fat, bacteria, and environmental chemical contamination for the government to allow the egg industry to pretend that eating eggs is not a health risk. The egg industry lobbied very hard to overturn the U.S governments decision and failed, due to the massive scientific evidence..
Egg protein is also a common source of allergy in infants, children and adults, producing problems from hives to asthma. Eggs are high in fat which promotes obesity and type-2 diabetes.
Fats and cholesterol in eggs promote the formation of cholesterol gallstones and gallbladder attacks.
Egg-borne infections caused by the salmonella bacteria can give rise to cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, chills, fever and/or headache, along with food poisoning called salmonellosis.
Eggs are a main contributor to human exposure to dioxin and other environmental chemicals that are known to cause birth defects, neurologic damage, and cancer.
Many nutritional qualities of eggs are similar to the nutritional qualities of cow’s milk, cheese, chicken, beef, and fish.
All these foods are known to cause major health problems when consumed in the amounts in which they are typically consumed in the west.
Alternatives to eggs in cooking
Eggs are traditionally used as a ‘binding agent’ in recipes.
An alternative is a quarter of a cup of flaxseed meal boiled in three quarters of a cup of water.
Eggs are not necessary in many recipes. For instance there is no need to add eggs to pancakes. Pancakes do quite well without the addition of eggs.
A popular new trend is to add some Chia seeds in water to form a great ‘pudding-like’ gel which is great for making smoothies, puddings, and as an egg substitute when baking.
Chia offers you the benefits of a binding agent with a ‘hit’ of Omega 3 to beat those blues, try Chia. You’ll get 4g of protein in 2 tablespoons, but just as importantly, a bunch of iron, calcium, zinc, antioxidants, and fiber.
So what should we be eating?
The changes required are not as drastic as most people imagine.
Most of the ‘good’ foods you should be eating are already familiar favorites.
Whole grain breads, nuts, seeds, rice, pasta, noodles, pancakes, waffles, hash browns, baked potatoes, mash potatoes, boiled potatoes, muesli, porridge, salads, beans, chilli, soups, sauces, baked, fried, and boiled vegetables of all varieties, and fruits, are all conventional foods that provide optimal health and vitality.
There are tonnes of new soy based alternatives to conventional meats, milks, and desserts. Soy milk’s come in a wide range of flavors. Tofu is a favorite in stir-fries and blended with fruit to make smoothies and lemon creams. You can easily prepare your own soy milk and tofu at home, from soy beans. You will be surprised how versatile, tasty, and cheap soy based foods can be.
It is just a question of getting off your (statistically fat) behind and taking a little interest in what you are putting into your own body, and the bodies of your loved ones.
And you probably want your bus drivers, other drivers on the roads, pilots, police force, and military mentally and physically alert, rather than mentally distracted, vague, and constipated, right?
You want your children (and students) to be alert and focused in class too, don’t you?
You probably want your children to out-live you, rather than grow old before their time, and before your, (cataract clouded) eyes, right?
You want to enjoy eating, and enjoy living, right?
Or would you prefer you and yours waking up every day with headaches, constipation, depression, nasty body odors, obesity, arthritis, difficulty concentrating, facing an accelerated aging, and a future of cancer, cataracts, diabetes, and dementia?
Sorry, I don’t have hundreds of millions of dollars to throw at the mass media to get this simple message across.
But before you start, consider that most of the world’s top performance athletes, creative talents, or intellectual giants, all live happily, healthily, and performing at their best, on plant based diets.
Now look in the mirror. Take a good honest look at yourself. Look at your wife, husband, and children. Can you say that you are all performing at your peak? Are you all as healthy, happy, vibrant, and alive as you wish you were?
So what is stopping you? Read this. Think about it. Challenge it. Question it. Interrogate it. Get the feedback from the most reliable scientific sources you can find. And then accept it. And share it. And let’s see if we can’t make at least one bible prophecy come true simply by respecting our bodies a little more and considering what we put into them.
Yes I mean the bible prophecy that says we shall all once more become gardeners, like Adam and Eve, and live in a new heaven on this earth. This is, after all, the Age of Aquarius that the Bible speaks of. The age to follow the age of Pisces, which Jesus represented. The age which followed the Age of Taurus, which Moses represented. The age which replaced the age of Aries, which the golden calf and Attis represented.
Oops, sorry, I can’t help myself. Focus Markus. First the people have to be mentally and physically healthy before you can bother them with higher matters!
So I humbly offer up my contribution to the New World Order, and your health.
The 9 Essential amino acids in plant foods
Protein is made up of amino acids. Of the 22 amino acids, 8 or 9 cannot be synthesized by the human body, and thus it is ‘essential’ that we eat foods containing them. Thus they are known as ‘essential’ or ‘indispensable’ amino acids’.
Soybeans, quinoa (a grain), and spinach are considered high quality protein, right up there with meat, eggs, and dairy.
Quinoa and Soy both contain the full complement of essential amino acids virtually equivalent to milk, meat, or eggs. They are a concentrated source of protein for vegans.
One cup of cooked quinoa contains 9 grams of protein. NASA plan to grow this on space flights, due to its high fiber, iron, magnesium, manganese, and complete protein content. You can bake it into muffins cakes, cookies, or fry it as fritters, and so eat it at any meal. It has a similar appearance to cous cous, and is a more nutritious alternative to rice.
Or how about getting 10g of complete protein in two tablespoons? Hempseed will do that, plus add ‘high’ levels of magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium, essential fatty acids (including omega-3 fatty acids), which have been shown to alleviate the symptoms of depression.
For an even bigger ‘hit’ of Omega 3 to beat those blues, try Chia seeds. You’ll get 4g of protein in 2 tablespoons, but just as importantly, a bunch of iron, calcium, zinc, antioxidants, and fiber. Mix them with water and they form a great ‘pudding-like’ gel which is great for making smoothies, puddings, and as an egg substitute when baking.
The more well known, Soy beans, with a tradition spanning over a thousand years, contain around 40g of complete protein per 100g. One particular advantage is that soy is relatively low in the amino acid methionine, which you will appreciate after having read this entire book.
Corn and beans, when combined, offer the complete range of essential amino acids in the ideal proportion.
As does the mixture of rice and Beans (or lentils or chickpeas). One cup of cooked rice-and-beans delivers 7g of complete protein. Most beans (including chickpeas, and lentils) are low in methionine and high in lysine. Rice is low in lysine and high in methionine. So they perfectly complement each other. A match made in heaven. Add any flavorings you like and you have a combination as versatile and nutritious as any animal product.
Now if you are, like me, completely lazy when it comes to cooking, then what could be easier than the old peanut butter sandwich? Add two tablespoons of peanut butter to two slices of Wholemeal bread, and you have 15g of complete protein. Think you can handle that?
It’s that simple to ‘complement’ and ‘complete’ proteins by mixing legumes like beans, lentils, and peanuts with grains like wheat, rice, and corn. Add something from either group together and hey presto, abra cadabara, a protein superior to any animal product the 200 million dollar a year ‘misery’ (a.k.a meat, dairy, and egg) industries can offer. At a fraction of the cost and with zero preparation time.
If you’re looking for something more exotic, and are not gluten intolerate (allergic) or a celiac sufferer, than why not try Seitan. Its relative lack of lysine can be compensated for by the addition of other products high in lysine, such as soy...
