"Excessive consumption of refined foods (i.e., the white group) such as sugar, white flour, and white rice has been found to raise blood sugar levels and stimulate insulin release, which then negatively impacts hormone balance. Therefore, this diet does not allow refined or processed foods. Caffeine. Studies have shown that drinking two cups of coffee a day can increase estrogen levels." - C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.)

"They wrote: "Health Canada's review of the information presented in support of the food use of refined oil from cotton line 1445 concluded that this refined oil does not raise concerns related to safety. Health Canada is of the opinion that refined oil from cotton line 1445 is as safe and nutritious as cottonseed oil from current commercial cotton varieties." Monsanto Canada's Roundup Ready Canola (GT73) This variety, as well as other canola and cotton crops, were approved without tests." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"The unfortunate truth is that most people tend to eat too many foods that are nutritionally deficient (for example, foods that are refined, commercially processed, or overloaded with saturated fat and omega-6 fats). Another factor that robs you of the nutrients you should get from your food is that many fresh fruits, vegetables, and other unrefined foods are lower in important nutrients than they should be because of adverse growing conditions, poor food handling techniques, poor cooking methods, and poor soil quality low in trace minerals. "The alarming fact is that foods . . ." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"The gymnasts are endowed with what's called "refined dexterity" in movements, which requires extremely precise coordination and motor qualities. Ocular muscles need this extraordinary quality—refined dexterity—to fulfill as complex a task as focusing is. This phenomenon is underestimated, since we were born with this natural motor ability (in our eyes as well), but long, hard work is needed to become a gymnast. When you have a visual error, and you eventually reach 20/20 vision, your success is as though you obtained a 10/10 score at springboard. Surely, it's not an easy task." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Today, modern science has refined our understanding of Planck's matrix, describing it as a form of energy that is already everywhere at every moment and has existed since time began with the big bang. The existence of this field implies two things that directly affect the power of belief in our lives. While these principles may contradict many well-established tenets of science and spirituality, they also open the door to an empowering way of seeing our world and living our lives. 1. The first principle suggests that because everything exists within the Divine Matrix, everything is connected." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"You get monounsaturated fat from olive oil and omega-3 fatty acids from dark-meat fish; you increase your vegetable and fruit intake, and you eat fewer refined carbs. Metabolic syndrome sufferers who stayed on this diet for two years had greater reductions than control-diet participants in these areas: ?Weight ?Triglycerides ?Waist circumference ?Fasting glucose ?Blood pressure ?Insulin ?Total cholesterol They had greater increases in their HDL levels as well. Study directors Dr." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Cheese and refined grains promote inflammation that may overwhelm brain protective mechanisms, causing degenerative neurological disease. Conversely, fresh green produce and lean meat that's high in omega-3 fats suppress inflammation and protect brain function. Here's how a lack of vitamin D leads to development of certain diseases. Blue Moods I met Roseanna in 2004 when she accompanied her mother on an office visit because she had questions about the supplements and diet I'd prescribed for her mother." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Salt, cheese, and refined grains work against vitamin D function because they generate acidosis and inflammation that sap calcium, magnesium, and protein from your bones and muscles. 4. Green, leafy vegetables and other kinds of produce are big members of the vitamin D booster club; they balance acid-base and preserve bone and muscle mass. Pain Because I'm a rheumatologist, people come to see me because they want solutions for the pain they're experiencing in their joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "These vitamins are most abundant in lean, fresh animal meats, including seafood. refined grains don't contain many of these nutrients, but most Americans think they do. Manufacturers add these nutrients into the mix when processing grain to make flour-based products more nutritious, but you're much better off eating fresh, lean animal protein. Make sure to take a multivitamin that contains 100 percent of your DRI (dietary reference intake) for niacin and vitamins B, and B,n. 6 12 Vitamin D You know that you can't get enough vitamin D from your diet, which means you need sun and supplements." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"So when we are taking in lots of refined carbohydrates and need chromium to help metabolize the sugar and to make the insulin work correctly, we become chromium deficient. When we eat junk foods, or food from depleted soils and synthetic fertilizers, we really aren't able to metabolize the sugars and carbohydrates properly. This adds to a diabetic condition. In essence, minerals take us to the very formation of life. All qualities of positive or negative health can be traced back to a lack of minerals. To get adequate mineralization, as we said, the minerals need to be in angstrom-size form?." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "It is this lifestyle and diet of refined white sugar, saturated animal fat, and junk food that causes a metabolic disorder of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. Yes, diabetes has a very clear genetic component, especially for Type-2 diabetes. Type-1 diabetes also has a genetic component, but the genetic component is a less important factor. Both of these may be associated with gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy). Type-2 is also associated with vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The key deficient minerals are: magnesium, chromium, vanadium, manganese, and potassium." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Complex carbohydrates cause a much slower rise in blood sugar as compared to refined carbohydrates and are therefore a much healthier part of the diet. Complex carbohydrates have a very low glycemic index. Appendix A contains the glycemic index and can be used as a reference on which carbohydrates to eat. In addition, it is vitally important to eliminate all refined oils in the diet. refined oils contain trans fatty acids that poison our cell membranes and lead to degenerative disease. It is impossible to have properly functioning immune and hormonal systems while eating refined oils." - David Brownstein, The Miracle of Natural Hormones (Get the book.)

"Thomas Cleave's 1975 book, The Saccharine Disease: Conditions Caused by the Taking of refined Carbohydrates such as Sugar and White Flour showing that within twenty years after processed white flour and sugar are introduced into a culture, there is an "outbreak" of diabetes. His statistical analysis showed processed sugar rather than fat as the primary cause. According to Dr. Cleave, in 1955 the primary cause of diabetes was thought to be related to fat consumption. This was because of a paper presented in 1949 by H. P." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Avoid or greatly limit your intake of prepackaged, preserved, pasteurized, homogenized, and refined foods, including luncheon meats and commercially prepared baked goods. All of these items have been exposed to high heat at some point during their production and contain high levels of food-derived glycotoxins. ?Avoid simple sugars exposed to high temperatures, especially commercially pasteurized fruit juices and soda/soft drinks that contain high-fructose corn syrup. These foods contain high levels of dietary glycotoxins." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "You can dramatically reduce your intake of food-derived glycotoxins if you follow the recommended cooking methods, especially when preparing foods that contain fructose and/or 111 saturated fats and protein (such as meat, poultry, dairy, baked goods), and you reduce the amount of refined or processed foods you eat. Do not chastise yourself if you eat French fries on occasion or indulge in barbecued chicken once in a while." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"As you become a nutritarian, you will see less of the foods you probably currently eat in large quantities, such as refined grains like pasta, cereal, and bread. You will add new things to your pantry and remove others. This portion of Eat For Health heavily utilizes the four "S"s: Smoothies, Soups, Salads and Sorbets. The tools you will learn here and all the others you have learned thus far will move you forward towards excellent health. The Nutritional Rating System Foods evaluated by my Nutritional Scoring System get two numbers: an ANDI Nutrient Score and a MANDI Point Value." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"Common table salt, which I do not recommend, lacks minerals and trace elements because it is purified and refined, leaving only sodium and chloride. After refining, common table salt is mixed with iodine, bleaching agents, and anti-caking agents, which creates a pure white, free-flowing product. Even many salts labeled "sea salt" are washed or boiled, which removes minerals and trace elements, rendering them toxic to the human body. Any salt that has been heated in this manner is converted to a covalent form, which is difficult for the body to assimilate." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The brain thrives on glucose, so we have to have a good diet, not refined carbohydrates or sugars that do more harm than good. We have free radicals, these little products of metabolism that cause scarring of the brain. We have energy in the brain in the form of the power plant Mi Brain Aging and the mitochondria. We have the synapse, a very important juncture where the electrical chemical energy is transferred from one cell to another to create the memory, to help us produce other memories, to draw up old memories, restore new memories and the emotions and all that." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"The better the coherence, the finer the telephone network and the more refined wave patterns have a telephone. The end result is also a bit like a large orchestra. All the photons are playing together but as individual instruments that are able to carry on playing individual parts. Nevertheless, when you are listening, it's difficult to pick out any one instrument. What was even more amazing was that Popp was witnessing the highest level of quantum order, or coherence, possible in a living system. Usually, this coherence ?" - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Dunne and Jahn also refined the scientific protocol. They decided that all their REG studies should follow the same design: each participant sitting in front of the machine would undergo three tests of equal length. In the first, they would will the machine to produce more is then os (or 'Hi's, as PEAR researchers put it). In the second, they would mentally direct the machine to produce more os than is (more 'LO's). In the third, they would attempt not to influence the machine in any way. This three-stage process was to guard against any bias in the equipment." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Brenda Dunne and Robert Jahn refined this science even further. This was a natural progression for them. One of the first to replicate the SRI work had been Brenda Dunne, while an undergraduate at Mundelein College and later as a graduate student of the University of Chicago, before her move to Princeton.21 Dunne's forte, once again, had been ordinary volunteers, not gifted psychics. In eight studies using two students with no gift for psychic ability, she demonstrated that her participants could be successful in correctly describing target locations." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "There were many areas to be refined, other paths to go down. Many might turn out to be detours or even dead ends, but the first tentative inquiries had been made. It was a start, a first step, the way all real science started.

"One of the causes of high Cortisol and low DHEA is eating refined carbohydrates on a regular basis. And indeed people with Alzheimer's disease have been found to have high Cortisol and low DHEA levels." Mixing protein with carbohydrates may be helpful, Dr. Debe says. "People addicted to eating carbohydrates who don't want to make any drastic change right off can start by not eating the carbohydrate by itself. If you eat several cookies, that is pretty much pure carbohydrates and will cause a big swing in blood sugar." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Kepler's theory was further refined and republished in 1858 by two ophthalmologists, Dr. Donders and Dr. Helmholtz. They accepted Kepler's frozen-eye concept and added further assumptions. 1. They assumed that a focal state of exactly zero could be considered normal. Donders invented the word emmetropia to describe this idealization of the "frozen" eye. 2. They assumed that any focal state other than exactly zero must be a defect, or "refractive error." They invented the word ametropia to describe both positive and negative focal states of all normal eyes." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Debe says, "is eating too much refined carbohydrate. We are getting a big burst of sugar in the bloodstream. When you eat pasta, cookies, cakes, there is an unnatural spike in blood sugar that results from this. The body is not meant to be exposed to such a sugar load all at once. What happens is the blood sugar spikes, the body tries to control it by releasing insulin and often the body releases too much insulin, the blood sugar dips too low and this has all kinds of consequences." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"GREEN VEGETABLES ALL RAW VEGETABLES NON-STARCHY COOKED VEGETABLES FRESH FRUIT BEANS / LEGUMES COOKED STARCHY VEGETABLES WHOLE GRAINS RAW NUTS AND SEEDS FAT-FREE DAIRY WILD MEAT AND FOWL EGGS FULL-FAT DAIRY / CHEESE refined OIL / SWEETS Take your time going through the eating phases in order. If possible try all of the recipes and pick out the ones you like the best. The phases have been designed to change your food preferences as you move through them." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"Many—indeed, most—of the conclusions drawn in this book are bound to be amended or refined at a later date. By reading this book and participating in its experiments you may well contribute to the world's knowledge, and possibly further a paradigm shift in our understanding of how the world works. Indeed, the power of mass intention may ultimately be the force that shifts the tide toward repair and renewal of the planet. When combined with hundreds of thousands of others, your solitary voice, now one barely audible note, could transmute into a thunderous symphony." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Schmidt continually refined the design of his "retro-PK" studies over 20 years, eventually involving martial arts students, who are trained in mind control. In one study, he used a radioactive-decay counter to generate a visual display of random numbers. The students sat in front of this visual display, and attempted mentally to influence the numbers in a particular statistical distribution. Once again, he achieved a highly significant result, with odds of 1,000 to 1 against its being a chance occurrence." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Eliminating the "whites"-- refined sugar, refined flour, and refined salt?will help any health condition and help any detoxification program. The glycemic index of carbohydrates can be a helpful guide on which carbohydrates to eat and which to avoid. The glycemic index measures how quickly carbohydrates are turned into sugar. Complex carbohydrates cause a much slower rise in blood sugar as compared to refined carbohydrates and are therefore a much healthier part of the diet. Complex carbohydrates have a very low glycemic index." - David Brownstein, The Miracle of Natural Hormones (Get the book.)
