"Fruit Juices Many people experience sour stomach and burning indigestion as a result of drinking citrus juices such as grapefruit or orange juice. citrus fruits, as well as tomatoes and spicy foods, cause most of their distress by direct irritation of the tissues of the esophagus and stomach rather than by lowering LES pressure. Surprisingly, acid is not the cause of heartburn from citrus foods, since neutralized orange juice also produces heartburn." - John A. McDougall, Dr. McDougall's Digestive Tune-Up (Get the book.)

"So, by skipping breakfast, you'll probably also miss citrus fruit and some important antioxidants, especially the citrus bioflavonoids. citrus isoflavonoids are antioxidant risk reducers by themselves, and some are converted to materials that seem to lessen gender-specific cancers, such as prostate cancer. Sliced bananas, a cancer risk reducer, are often a topping for cereal. Bananas, like soy, provide isoflavonoids, which, when acted on by healthy intestinal microflora, reduce cancer risk. Few men regularly drink soy beverages." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"Modified citrus Pectin Modified citrus Pectin is a commercially available supplement that shows promise in the treatment of prostate cancer. Pectin is a protein found in the first part of the plant cell wall to be formed as a plant grows and is abundant in the rinds of citrus fruit. It is generally not absorbed well into the bloodstream of humans in its raw form, but it can be more easily absorbed when structurally modified into a smaller molecule." - James Occhiogrosso, N.

"The really important message in the epidemiology, which is all we had to go on, was that some vegetables and citrus fruits seemed to be protective against cancer. But those sections of the report were written as though it was the vitamin C in the citrus or the beta-carotene in the vegetables that was responsible for the effect. I kept changing the language to talk about 'foods that contain vitamin C and 'foods that contain carotenes.' Because how do you know it's not one of the other things in the carrots or the broccoli? There are hundreds of carotenes." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Drinking orange juice and eating citrus fruits is fine, and small amounts (around 25 to 50 milligrams) of citrus bioflavonoids in a multivitamin pill are unlikely to do any harm. But avoid foods with added citrus oils and especially avoid taking dietary supplements of citrus bioflavonoids themselves, especially if you are taking tamoxifen. The dose that is possibly harmful to humans is 280 milligrams per day. Until there is more definitive data in humans, I recommend that people taking tamoxifen avoid taking high-dose supplements of citrus bioflavonoids." - Ralph Moss, PhD, Antioxidants Against Cancer: How to activate your bod natural healing powers with today's most protective and immune-boosting supplements and foods (Get the book.)

"The ones with an odd number of carbons smell predominantly waxy with a citrus character in the background, while those with an even number of atoms smell predominantly citrus-like with a waxy character in the background. By waxy I mean the smell you get when you blow out a candle, and by citruslike I mean orange peel. Now this is decidedly weird!" - Luca Turin, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell (Get the book.)

"The most common culprits are milk and milk products, beef, yeast, wheat, citrus, corn, soy. Eliminate those and then reintroduce them one at a time. See if it clouds your thinking or makes you anxious or depressed. "As far as supplements go, for anybody living in a society with so much pollution and stress, I recommend a high dose multivitamin, multimineral with iron if you're a menstruating woman, without iron if you're not menstruating." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Irritable bowel syndrome, which accounts for about one-third of all visits to gastroenterologists, is often triggered by dairy products, animal fat, sugar, citrus, and cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower and broccoli. Symptoms of food reactions also often mimic symptoms of IBS. Obesity is much more common among people with chronic food reactions. Weight gain is often triggered by allergic inflammation, which disrupts the metabolism. Food reactions also cause food cravings. In addition, food reactions typically create a false fat of tissue swelling, abdominal bloating, and water weight." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "A third tier of foods that also frequently cause reactions includes: The Third Tier of Most Reactive Foods 10. citrus. 11. Tomatoes. 12. Aspartame and MSG. 13. Vinegar. 14. Shellfish (more common in adults than kids). However, reactions are highly individualized, and also often involve the following foods, which tend to be moderately reactive: The Fourth Tier of Occasionally Reactive Foods 15. Bacon and other pork. 16. Cinnamon. 17. Mustard. 18. Bananas. 19. Grapes and raisins. 20. Coconut. 21. Onions. 22. Berries, particularly strawberries. 23. Peas. 24. Celery. 25." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"In addition to frankincense, I recommend trying some citrus oils, which are known for reducing tension and depression. (Tangerine and lemon in particular are effective at boosting moods and brightening the atmosphere of your house.) Bergamot is very relaxing and good for the nervous system, and lavender can soothe anxieties and promote sleep. Every night before he goes to sleep, I diffuse frankincense, lavender, and lemon in my son's room. These oils help you breathe better, transporting oxygen and other nutrients into your cells and into your brain." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"For acid taste, use citrus (including lemon, lime, grapefruit, and orange), apple cider vinegar, and sauerkraut. For salt, use Celtic salt, which contains eighty-two minerals. It is an uncooked, live salt. I consider miso a live food because when it is fermented, it is activated with enzymes. Miso creates a very nice salt taste, and barley miso can be used as a bouillon substitute. Olives are good for a fat and salt taste, and they are the most mineralized fruit." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "We recommend against fruit for three to six months until the fasting blood sugar (FBS) stabilizes at 85 or below, and then only low-glycemic fruit such as berries, cherries, citrus, goji berries, cranberries, and an occasional apple. LOW FIBER Fiber is the part of the plant that cannot be digested or absorbed by the body. It is a carbohydrate that is obtained from vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. Fiber is either water soluble or water insoluble. Water-soluble fiber is especially good for people with diabetes, because it delays the pace at which food passes through the stomach." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "At that time, it is most prudent to introduce only low-glycemic berries, cherries, and citrus to maintain a healthy physiology. Cooked Animal Fat and Trans-Fatty Acids The second major contributor to the onset of diabetes is a diet high in cooked animal fat trans-fatty acids. An excess of saturated animal fats and trans-fatty acids is associated with increased diabetes, cancer of the breast and prostate, immune dysfunction, and infertility. Drs." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Make barbecued spareribs without gobs of commercial sauce loaded with salt, sugar, butter, and vinegar; instead, use a spicy sauce of pineapple juice or honey, citrus, and chili pepper. ?Replace corn chips with potato chips cooked in expeller-pressed canola oil with very little sodium. ?Choose dark chocolate over milk chocolate. ?Eat natural, unsalted nut butter or freshly ground peanuts instead of commercial peanut butter. ?Make chili with lean, ground round (or turkey breast), fewer beans, and no-salt-added canned tomatoes. Top with cilantro and guacamole instead of cheese." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Lemons have Vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids. Although these antioxidants are nowhere nearly as strong as Natural Astaxanthin, they are strong enough to protect an apple from rotting before your eyes. Apple protected by antioxi- Unprotected apple dants Vitamin C and citrus after oxidation bioflavoids in lemon juice What's happening to the apple is what can happen inside our bodies if free radicals are allowed to take control. Oxidation and free radical damage show up in our bodies both externally and internally." - Bob Capelli, ASTAXANTHIN: Natural Astaxanthin, King of the Carotenoids (Get the book.)

"The healthy alternative I use is fruit juice mixed with healthy oils. citrus juices are natural meat tenderizers. Anyone who makes homemade barbecue sauce knows that pineapple juice is a staple ingredient. Lemon juice, commonly used to make fish more palatable, also is a natural meat tenderizer. Try the following seasoning that's perfect for meats, vegetables, and salads. It will make you forget you ever thought you needed salt." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Berries, pomegranates, sunflower seeds, and walnuts are foods with some of the highest antioxidant content. All citrus fruits, including oranges, pineapples, kiwi fruits, prunes, and dates, are also very good sources. Vegetables high in antioxidants include kale, red cabbage, red and green peppers, parsley, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, and spinach. Roots such as ginger and red beets are also great. Even grains contain antioxidants, particularly barley, corn, oats, and millet." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"At the end of your three-day juice fast, introduce solid foods gradually, starting with the lighter ones like nonstarchy vegetables or citrus fruit. By dinner on the first day following your fast, you may add back starches, but wait another day before adding heavy protein foods such as meat. Think Slippery Wet Rather than Dry Avoid excessively cooked foods where much of the water is cooked out and the fiber is broken down by the heat." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "These two commonly applied pesticides are used on cotton, grapes, tomatoes, lettuce, alfalfa, citrus, beans, and other fruit, nut, and vegetable crops. Dicofol, listed as a potential carcinogen, is similar to DDT in its structure, and both are suspected endocrine disruptors. Acutely toxic, endosulfan is up for inclusion in the Rotterdam Convention, an international treaty requiring special import notifications for a list of problematic chemicals, and was recently nominated for global phaseout under the international Stockholm Convention. Similar stories abound: ?" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Phase II can further get a boost from broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, citrus fruits, cabbage, and the oils from lemon peels. (Note that some of these act as phase I inhibitors but phase II enhancers.) As previously noted, eggs, onions, garlic, high-fiber legumes and grains all encourage optimal detoxification. Numerous herbs, spices, and vitamins can also improve the enzymatic activity of your body's detoxification systems, many of which will be part of your cleansing regimens. I will be giving you a comprehensive list of foods and supplements that will assist and maximize your detox." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)
