"This "food" (regular sugar, White Flour, etc.) has very little nutritional value. Foods such as pastas made from refined Flour, sugary cereals, White bread, candies and sugar-laden soft drinks should be avoided as much as possible. But do eat whole, complex carbohydrate-containing foods such as unprocessed fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grain products like brown rice and oatmeal. These unprocessed carbohydrates, especially from fruits and vegetables, are exceptionally health-promoting. You also may have heard that calcium is beneficial in fighting colon cancer." - T.

"Typical simple carbohydrates are found in foods like White bread, processed snack items including crackers and chips made with White Flour, sweets including pastries and candy bars and sugar-laden soft drinks.

I've lost 20 pounds and my eczema is 99 percent better. I have a flare-up only when I eat cake or milk chocolate. I was surprised that diet could have such an effect on my system. Other people with eczema or seborrheic dermatitis might benefit the way I did. A. There is next to no research linking a high-carbohydrate diet to urinary tract infections or eczema.

"In the Brazilian Amazon, the nuts are grated with the thorny stilt roots of Socratea palms into a White mush known as kite de castan-ha and then stirred into manioc Flour. This food is a valuable source of calories, fat, and protein for much of the Amazon's rural and tribal peoples. With such a high oil content, fresh Brazil nuts will even burn like miniature candles when lit. The oil is extracted from the nuts and used by indigenous and rural people for cooking oil, lamps, soap, and livestock feed. The empty seed-pods, often called "monkey's pots," are used to carry around small smoky fires to discourage attacks of black flies, as cups to collect rubber latex from tapped trees, and as drinking cups." - Leslie Taylor, ND, The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals   (Get the book)
