Why an Increase in Disease?

Page 5: Nutrition dc

Typical American Diet• High in animal fats. • High in unhealthy fats:

saturated, hydrogenated. • Low in fiber. • High in processed foods. • Low in complex carbohydrates. • Low in plant-based foods.

Fat

• At the present time in America, we average more than 45% of our dietary calories in the form of fats.

• In a recent survey it was 50%

Fat

A study found that women who ate the most total fat increased their risk of breast cancer by 60%.

Protein

Page 9: Nutrition dc

Excess Protein = Osteoporosis

• 2-3 times more protein is consumed than recommended.

• Animal protein increases the risk of osteoporosis and loss of calcium from the body.

Meat and Manure Germs

When an animal is killed the mucous lining of the intestines loses its protecting power and allows the manure germs (putrefactive bacteria) to swarm through the organs and the tissues of the animal.

“Vegetarianism: The Case for Vegetarianism.” Dr. J. Hoffman.

Page 30: Nutrition dc

►Because the meat of a freshly killed animal is tough, the meat processor relies on putrefactive bacteria from the colon to break down the tissues and make the meat tender.

►The butcher will say that he allows the meat to "ripen", but in truth he is only allowing a process of putrefaction, the very process that takes place in the colon.

►The butcher allows colon germs to swarm through the meat and partially digest it. “Vegetarianism: The Case for Vegetarianism.” Dr. J. Hoffman.

Page 31: Nutrition dc

Meat & Manure Germs

► One ounce piece of hamburger steak contain over 70 million manure germs. ► One ounce of calf manure contain only 15 million.

“Vegetarianism: The Case for Vegetarianism.” Dr. J. Hoffman.

Page 32: Nutrition dc

Meat Has Stimulatory Effect• The animalistic nature of

humans is strengthened by meat-eating.

• The use of flesh meat stimulates more intensely the lustful propensities and enfeebles moral and spiritual nature.

Effects of Hormones in Animal Products

• A recent study has shown that young girls in the U.S. appear to be developing signs of puberty at a younger age than previously believed.

• Girls are developing at an average age of 8-10 years old.

Page 36: Nutrition dc

Effects of Hormones in Animal Products

"Early onset of puberty with its raging hormones translates into higher risk of breast cancer" and it is "very likely" that hormone residues in North American beef is a contributing factor in the early onset of puberty among girls observed in recent decades.”

Carlos Sonnenschein, from Tufts University School of Medicine (Boston, MA),

Page 37: Nutrition dc

1980 CDC Investigations

Increase in cases of girls reaching puberty or menarche early (8 or younger) in Puerto Rico, led to an investigation in the early 1980s by the Centers for Disease Control.

1980 CDC Investigations• Laboratories found a

chicken sample from a local market to have higher than normal levels of estrogen.

• Residues of zeranol were reported in the blood of some of the girls who had reached puberty early.

Dairy and Calcium Loss

“The problem with milk and other dairy products is that they are not only rich in calcium but they are also high in protein, which has been shown to create calcium loss through the urinary tract.”

New Century Nutrition. The Great American Milk Myth. Dr. Charles R. Attwood.

Page 43: Nutrition dc

Bacteria and Viruses in Milk• Pasteurization does not

sterilize milk.

• One glass of milk contains five million

bacteria after pasteurization.

• Government allows

up to 10 coliform bacteria (bacteria from cow stool) per milliliter after pasteurization.

“Infectious Agents in Milk.” Proof Positive. Neil Nedley, M.D. 1998:p. 246.

Page 44: Nutrition dc

U.S. Public Health Service Regulation:

Milk, after pasteurization, should contain no more than 20,000 bacteria per milliliter of milk and no more than 10 coliform bacteria in each milliliter.

Ten per milliliter = 2,500 per 8-oz. glass.

Dairy Foods: Poor Calcium Source

• Only 25% (75 mg per cup) of calcium from cow’s milk is absorbable.

How About Iron? • Iron is found in a wide

variety of plant foods, especially beans and grains.

• Adding vitamin C to meals increases plant iron absorption.

• Coffee, tea, and calcium supplements can all decrease iron absorption.

Tips for Optimum Nutrition• Adopt a plant-based pure vegetarian

diet.

• Use whole (unrefined) grains such as whole wheat bread and brown rice instead of white bread and white rice.

• Eliminate rich concentrated foods containing too much sugar, fats, and oils, salt, and protein (meat and other animal products.
