"Hormone use is prohibited in poultry and pork.) It is estimated that 90 percent of U.S. livestock is injected with some form of hormone and up to 30 percent of dairy cows receive hormones. In addition, pollutants and pesticides in the animals' food supply (which then becomes stored in the animals' fat) might trigger breast cancer. 2. Women who eat high-fat foods tend to be overweight, and overweight women produce more estrogen and have a higher rate of breast cancer. So is it what's in the fat or what the fat does? Fat is active. It is constantly producing hormones and inflammatory proteins." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"The highest quantities of L-carnitine are found in mutton from older sheep, followed by lamb, beef, other red meat, and pork. The least amount is found in plant food. Many vegetarians fail to get enough L-carnitine in their diet and may also lack the methionine and lysine needed to synthesize it in their bodies. Other reasons for L-carnitine deficiencies include genetic defects; aging; cofactor deficiencies of vitamin B-6, folic acid, iron, niacin, and especially vitamin C; liver or kidney disease; and the use of certain medications, particularly anticonvulsant drugs." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Try to minimize the following: deli meats, hot dogs, smoked, dried, and salted fish and meat, bacon, cheese, ham, most commercial salad dressings and condiments, pickled foods, pork rinds, processed meats, salted nuts, salted spices, sausages, and olives. Select Superior Soy Despite what current marketing campaigns would have you believe, soy can be a challenge to digest, and you'll recall from Chapter 3 that some soy products may come from a genetically modified (GM) food source." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"I still eat fish and chicken and lean beef and pork, but I would guess at least half my meals qualify as lacto-ovo-vegetarian. There was a time when all my meals were meatless (can you say "UC Berkeley grad school"?), and, oddly enough, the one thing I totally craved every so often was a good lean cheeseburger—but that was before all these great vegetarian burgers hit restaurants and supermarkets. Two decades and two kids later, I have definitely evolved into a happy part-time vegetarian. Lucky for me, this has also come with a slew of benefits!" - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Vitamin D Cure Roasted pork Tenderloin with Vegetables Serves 8. In the same way that you can modify your own recipes, I fixed this one to make it Vitamin D Cure-friendly. When you tweak your own old favorites, simply think in terms of cutting salt, cheese, and grain and adding lean protein and produce (fruits or veggies)." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Make enough boneless, skinless chicken, pork tenderloin, or seafood for two people, two meals a day—or about ten meals. That's usually enough for a busy working couple. Steam or saute about three days' worth of vegetables. Also, make available (at home and work) large cases of fresh fruit. For dinner you can have lean meats, and Universal Marinade (see the recipes) can double as a salad dressing and a seasoning for vegetables. See www.eatwild.com for farms that produce organic produce and grass-fed animal meat." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "This includes grass-fed beef, pork tenderloin; seafood (all kinds, but especially those high in omega-3 fat); boneless, skinless poultry; game meat; and, to a lesser extent, omega eggs (these are eggs labeled "higher in omega-3" because the hens get better feed). The word "lean" means meat with little or no saturated fat, and the animals the meat comes from should be on a vegetarian diet (grass and clover)—not grain! If you're looking for organic meats, watch for terms such as "pasture-fed," "grass-fed," and "clover-fed" animals." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Serve with salmon or pork tenderloin. Vitamin D Cure 2+2 Smoothies Serves 1. Smoothies are a great way to get water, fruit, and vegetables all in one glass. The smoothie I mix up tastes great, and I can make it in minutes. This is the perfect power breakfast for kids rushing out the door to school—or for anyone else. Smoothies also can make great salad dressings or dressings for meats. 2 fruits 2 vegetables xh cup water or 100 percent fruit juice (orange, cranberry, apple, grapefruit—you choose) lA cup sliced avocado (optional) 1." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Coenzyme Qio is naturally found in foods, with the most significant dietary sources coming from vegetables such as broccoli, Chinese cabbage, and spinach; nuts; ocean fish and shellfish; and meats, notably pork, chicken, and beef. Although it is widely available in the foods we eat, only about 2-5 mg per day are consumed, an insufficient amount to produce any substantial clinical benefit. Coenzyme Qio is also synthesized in all the tissues in the body. Cellular biosynthesis is the dominant source of coenzyme Qio in humans." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Chapter 3 CHANGINGTHE ESSAGE now it should be crystal clear that we humans are genetically programmed to eat the very foods-those high in sugar, fat, and salt-that make you pork up, threaten your health, and reduce the likelihood that you'll be a robust nonagenarian. The very fact that you're here today means that you come from a long line of ancestors who were very good at converting sugar into fat." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"The greatest quantities of L-carnitine are found in mutton from older sheep, followed by lamb, beef, other red meat, and pork. Although carnitine is found in many foods, the quantities in plants are exceedingly small (see Table 5.1). So, vegetarians are, in this regard, "behind the eight ball." Not only do pure vegetarians fail to get enough carnitine in their diet, they may also lack the methionine and lysine needed to synthesize it in their bodies. Modern approaches to carnitine TABLE 5.1. THE AMOUNT OF L-CARNITINE IN SOME COMMON FOODS Meats mm/g Other Foods mm/g Sheep (mutton)* 12." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Fresh chicken, beef, pork, and fish (all either broiled or baked) have substantially less pantothenic acid than liver, though they are all better sources than most vegetables. (See Table 5.1 for good sources of pantothenic acid.) You'll notice the words "raw" and "fresh" above.

"Serve a small portion of grilled flank steak or pork tenderloin over a generous portion of steamed asparagus or greens stir-fried with garlic and onions. þBetter yet, serve the meat over a romaine salad or wrap meatballs in lettuce leaves. If you have to have a wrapping, have a high fiber, low-carb tortilla, and then transition to lettuce leaves.

"W Bush's predilection for pork rinds and Bill Clinton's for Big Macs were politically astute tastes to show off.) It could well be that, as Levenstein contends, the sheer abundance of food in America has fostered a culture of careless, perfunctory eating. But our Puritan roots also impeded a sensual or aesthetic enjoyment of food. Like sex, the need to eat links us to the animals, and historically a great deal of Protestant energy has gone into helping us keep all such animal appetites under strict control." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Heritage Foods now works with small farmers to offer an evergrowing selection of rare types of pork, lamb, bison, and poultry. The extinction of heritage breeds would be a profound loss to agricultural biodiversity— and to the taste buds of meat lovers everywhere. Breeds such as Berkshire pork, Barred Plymouth Rock Chicken, and American Bronze Turkey definitely taste different—and in many cases, better—than the stuff you've been getting at the supermarket year after year, eg ¦mm resources Seed Savers Exchange http://www.seedsavers." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"It is true that some cuts of pork can be as low in fat as chicken or turkey, but this does not apply to pork chops, pork sausage, and bacon. Nutrition experts uniformly classify pork as a red meat, and to say otherwise confuses consumers about the nature of white and red meats. Also, the dark meat of chicken and turkey is significantly higher in fat than the white meat, so it is not just chicken and turkey, but the white meat of chicken and turkey you should be selecting." - David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., What Color is Your Diet? (Get the book.)

"Aiming to do the same thing for pork and beef fat, the animal scientists are now at work genetically engineering omega-3 fatty acids into pigs and persuading cattle to lunch on flaxseed in the hope of introducing the blessed fish fat where it had never gone before: into hot dogs and hamburgers. But these whole foods are the exceptions. The typical whole food has much more trouble competing under the rules of nutritionism, if only because something like a banana or an avocado can't quite as readily change its nutritional stripes." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"You may ask, "Can't lean cuts of beef, chicken, pork, and so forth fit well into this program?" Sure! In fact, some of the recipes contain some of these animal protein sources as ingredients. But I wanted to feature these special protein foods for two reasons: We don't eat enough of them and these protein foods have special value-added attributes which I will explain later. Chewing the fat: All fats are not created equal. Some contribute to heart disease and others work to fight it and other diseases too. Fat provides taste and satisfaction, and keeps you feeling full longer." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Reduce foods that may contribute to an excess of the prostaglandins that cause uterine contractions: dairy products, beef, pork, lamb, poultry, eggs, deep-fried foods, and trans fats found in potato chips, french fries, and partially hydrogenated packaged foods. cycle, especially among those women with a prior history of painful menses.''

"Remember, you are what you eat. pork is a highly toxic diseased food. A pig eats anything in its path, including its own feces. Whatever it eats turns to meat on its bones in a few hours. All pork products are laced with disease and viruses. It is toxic and unhealthy. The human body virtually goes into toxic shock by consuming pork. Massive amounts of blood and energy go to the stomach and intestines to help breakdown and digest this toxic material." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Downside: Derived from pork thyroid. Those who avoid pork for religious reasons need to avoid Armour. A majority of endocrinologists are opposed to prescribing it. Cost: Approximately $8 to $15 per month He was horrified that I had been taking dried animal thyroid and put me on Synthroid. He said the body makes T3 (whatever that is) from it. Within a month I had gained more than 10 pounds, had no energy, and felt so depressed I was nearly suicidal. The endocrinologist said these problems had nothing to do with the medicine, but I begged my family doctor to put me back on Armour." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)
