Liquid Gold A Healthier coffee for you, a smooth Gourmet taste
with less acidity at an affordable wholesale price
For the first 5000 years of civilization, humans relied on foods and
herbs for medicine. Only in the past 50 years have we forgotten our medicinal
"roots" in favor of patent medicines. While pharmaceuticals have their
value, we should not forget the well-documented, non-toxic and inexpensive
healing properties of whole foods. The following list is but a sampling
of the health benefits from whole foods.
APPLE -- Lowers cholesterol
and risk for cancer. Has mild antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory
estrogenic activity. High in fiber, helps avoid constipation, suppresses
appetite. Juice can cause diarrhea in children.
ASPARAGUS -- A super source
of the antioxidant glutathione, to lower cancer risk.
AVOCADO -- Benefits circulation,
lowers cholesterol, dilates blood vessels. It's main fat, monounsaturated
oleic acid (also concentrated in olive oil), acts as an antioxidant to
block artery-destroying toxicity of bad-type-LDL cholesterol. One of the
richest sources of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant shown to block
thirty different carcinogens and to block proliferation of the AIDS virus
in test tube experiments.
BANANA & PLANTAIN -- Soothes
the stomach. Good for dyspepsia (upset stomach). Strengthens the stomach
lining against acid and ulcers. Has antibiotic activity.
BARLEY -- Long known as a
"heart medicine" in the Middle East. Reduces cholesterol. Has anti-viral
and anti-cancer activity. Contains potent antioxidants, including tocotrienols.
BEANS -- (legumes, including
navy, black, kidney, pinto, soy beans and lentils). Potent medicine in
lowering cholesterol. One-half cup of cooked beans daily reduces cholesterol
an average 10 percent. Regulates blood sugar levels. An excellent food
for diabetics. Linked to lower rates of certain cancers. Very high in
fiber. A leading producer of intestinal gas in most people.
BEETS -- Richer than spinach
in iron and other minerals. The greens are helpful in cases of anemia,
tuberculosis, constipation, poor appetite, obesity, tumors, gout, pimples
and helpful in the elimination of irritating drug poisons. Beets are one
of the best foods to relieve constipation and they are also good for obesity.
BELL PEPPER -- Rich in antioxidant
vitamin C. Helps to fight off colds, asthma, bronchitis, respiratory infections,
cataracts, macular degeneration, angina, arteriosclerosis and cancer.
BLUEBERRY-- Acts as
an unusual type of antibiotic by blocking attachment of bacteria that
cause urinary tract infections. Contains chemicals that curb diarrhea.
Also has anti-viral activity and high in natural aspirin.
BROCCOLI -- A unique package
of versatile disease-fighters. Abundant in antioxidants, including quercetin,
glutathione, beta carotene, indoles, vitamin C, lutein, glucarate, sulforaphane.
Extremely high in cancer fighting activity, particularly against lung,
colon and breast cancers. Like other cruciferous vegetables, it speeds
up removal of estrogen from the body, helping suppress breast cancer.
Rich in cholesterol-reducing fiber. Has anti-viral, anti-ulcer activity.
A super source of chromium that helps regulate insulin and blood sugar.
Note: cooking and processing destroys some of the antioxidants and anti-estrogenic
agents, such as indoles and glutathione. Most protective when eaten raw
or lightly cooked.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS -- Cruciferous
family possesses some of the same powers as broccoli and cabbage. Definitely
anti-cancer, estrogenic and packed with various antioxidants and indoles.
CABBAGE (including bok choy) -- Revered in ancient Rome as a cancer cure. Contains numerous anti-cancer
and antioxidant compounds. Speeds up estrogen metabolism, is thought to
help block breast cancer and suppress growth of polyps, a prelude to colon
cancer. Eating cabbage more than once a week cut men's colon cancer odds
66 percent. As little as two daily tbsp. of cooked cabbage protected against
stomach cancer. Contains anti-ulcer compounds; cabbage juice helps heal
ulcers in humans. Has anti-bacterial and anti-viral powers. Can cause
flatulence in some. Some of these important compounds are destroyed by
cooking. Raw cabbage, as in cole slaw, appears to have stronger overall
health value.
CARROT -- A super source of
beta carotene, a powerful anticancer, artery-protecting, immune-boosting,
infection-fighting antioxidant with wide protective powers. A carrot a
day slashed stroke rates in women by 68 percent. The beta-carotene in
one medium carrot cuts lung cancer risk in half, even among formerly heavy
smokers. High doses of beta carotene, as found in carrots, substantially
reduces odds of degenerative eye diseases (cataracts and macular degeneration
as well as chest pain (angina). The high soluble fiber in carrots depresses
blood cholesterol and promotes regularity. Cooking can make it easier
for the body to absorb carrot's beta-carotene.
CAULIFLOWER -- Cruciferous
family member that contains many of the same cancer-fighting, hormone-regulating
compounds as its cousins, broccoli and cabbage. Specifically thought to
help ward off breast and colon cancers. Eat raw, or lightly cooked.
CELERY -- A traditional Vietnamese
remedy for high blood pressure. Celery compounds reduce blood pressure
in animals. Comparable human dose: two to four stalks a day. Also has
a mild diuretic effect. Contains eight different families of anti-cancer
compounds, such as phthalides and polyacetylenes, that detoxify carcinogens,
especially cigarette smoke. Eating celery before or after vigorous exercise
can induce mild to serious allergic reactions in some.
CHILI PEPPER -- Helps dissolve
blood clots, opens up sinuses and air passages, breaks up mucus in the
lungs, acts as an expectorant or decongestant, helps prevent bronchitis,
emphysema and stomach ulcers. Most of chili pepper's pharmacological activity
is credited to capsaicin (from the Latin "to bite"), the compound that
makes the pepper taste hot. Also a potent painkiller, alleviating headaches
when inhaled, and joint pain when injected. Hot paprika made from hot
chili peppers is high in natural aspirin. Antibacterial, antioxidant activity.
Putting hot chili sauce on food also speeds up metabolism, burning off
calories. Chili peppers do not harm the stomach lining or promote ulcers.
CINNAMON -- A strong stimulator
of insulin activity, thus potentially helpful for those with Type 2 diabetes.
Mild anti-coagulant activity.
CLOVE -- Used to kill the
pain of toothache and as an anti-inflammatory against rheumatic diseases.
Has anti-coagulant effects, (anti-platelet aggregation), and its main
ingredient, eugenol, is anti-inflammatory.
COFFEE -- Most, but not all,
of coffee's pharmacological impact comes from its high concentration of
caffeine a psychoactive drug. Caffeine, depending on an individual's biological
makeup and peculiar sensitivity, can be a mood elevator and mental energizer.
Improves mental performance in some. An emergency remedy for asthma. Dilates
bronchial passages. Mildly addictive. Triggers headaches, anxiety and
panic attacks in some. In excess, may cause psychiatric disturbances.
Promotes insomnia. Coffee stimulates stomach acid secretions (both caffeinated
and decaf). Can aggravate heartburn. Promotes bowel movements in many,
causes diarrhea in others. Caffeine may promote fibrocystic breast disease
in some women.
COLLARD GREENS -- Full of
anti-cancer, antioxidant compounds, including lutein, vitamin C and beta
carotene. In animals, blocks the spread of breast cancer. Like other green
leafy vegetables, associated with low rates of all cancers.
CORN -- Anticancer and antiviral
activity, possibly induced by corn's content of protease inhibitors. Has
estrogen-boosting capabilities. A very common cause of food intolerance
linked to symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome,
headaches and migraine-related epilepsy in children.
CRANBERRY -- Strong antibiotic
properties with unusual abilities to prevent infectious bacteria from
sticking to the cells lining the bladder and urinary tract. Thus, it helps
prevent recurring urinary tract (bladder) infections. Also has antiviral
activity.
CUMCUMBERS -- Should be eaten
freely by people who live on the desert or in other hot climates-the most
cooling food. Indicated for fevers, constipation, skin eruptions, high
blood pressure, rheumatism, obesity, acidosis and is a mild diuretic.
DATE -- High in natural aspirin.
Has laxative effect. Dried fruits, including dates, are linked to lower
rates of certain cancers, especially pancreatic cancer. Contains compounds
that may cause headaches in susceptible individuals.
EGGPLANT -- Eggplant substances,
called glycoalkaloids, made into a topical cream medication have been
used to treat skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, according to
Australian researchers. Also, eating eggplant may lower blood cholesterol
and help counteract some detrimental blood effects of fatty foods. Eggplant
also has antibacterial and diuretic properties.
FENUGREEK SEED -- A spice
common in the Middle East and available in many U.S. food markets. Has
anti-diabetic powers. Helps control surges of blood sugar and insulin.
Also anti-diarrheal, anti-ulcer, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, tends to
lower blood pressure, helps prevent intestinal gas.
FLAX SEEDS & OIL -- Used primarily
for constipation. In cases of gastritis, colitis or other inflammations
of the digestive tract. Lowers blood fat levels often associated with
heart attacks and strokes. Reduces harmful blood cholesterol levels with
its soluble fibers. Prevents colon and breast cancer through its rich
source of lignin's, a documented anti-cancer agent. Improves moods, diminishes
allergies and produces healthier skin.
FIG -- Helps to prevent cancer.
Both extract of figs and the fig compound, benzaidehyde, have helped shrink
tumors in humans according to Japanese tests. Also laxative, anti-ulcer,
antibacterial and antiparasitic powers. Triggers headaches in some people.
FISH & FISH OILS -- An ounce
a day has been shown to cut risk of heart attacks by 50 percent. The omega-3
oil in fish can relieve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis,
asthma, psoriasis, high blood pressure, Raynaud's disease, migraine headaches,
ulcerative colitis and, possibly, multiple sclerosis. May help ward off
strokes. A known anti-inflammatory agent and anti-coagulant. Raises good
type HDL cholesterol. Lowers triglycerides. Guards against glucose intolerance
and Type 11 diabetes. Some fish are high in antioxidants, such as selenium
and Coenzyme Q-10. Exhibits anti-cancer activity especially in blocking
development of colon cancer and spread of breast cancer. Fish highest
in omega-3 fatty acids include sardines, mackerel, herring, salmon, tuna.
GARLIC -- Used to treat an
array of ills since the dawn of civilization. Broad-spectrum antibiotic
that combats bacteria, intestinal parasites and viruses. In high doses
it has cured encephalitis. Lowers blood pressure and blood cholesterol,
discourages dangerous blood clotting. Two or three cloves a day cut the
odds of subsequent heart attacks in half in heart patients. Contains multiple
anti-cancer compounds and antioxidants and tops the National Cancer Institute's
list as a potential cancer-preventive food. Lessens chances of stomach
cancer in particular. A good cold medication. Acts as a decongestant,
expectorant, anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory agent. Boosts immune responses.
Helps relieve gas, has anti-diarrheal, estrogenic and diuretic activity.
Appears to lift mood and has a mild calming effect. High doses of raw
garlic (more than three cloves a day) have caused gas, bloating, diarrhea
and fever in some. Aged garlic may be better than cooked garlic. Eat garlic
both raw and cooked for all-around insurance.
GINGER -- Used to treat nausea,
vomiting, headaches, chest congestion, cholera, colds, diarrhea, stomach
ache, rheumatism, and nervous diseases. Ginger is a proven anti-nausea,
anti-motion sickness remedy that matches or surpasses drugs such as Dramamine.
Helps thwart and prevent migraine headaches and osteo-arthritis. Relieves
symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Acts as an anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory
agent in humans; is an antibiotic in test tubes (kills salmonella and
staph bacteria), and an anti-ulcer agent in animals. Also, has anti-depressant,
anti-diarrheal and strong antioxidant activity. High in anti-cancer activity.
GRAPE -- Rich in antioxidant
compounds. Red grapes (but not white or green grapes) are high in the
antioxidant quercetin. Grape skins contain resveratrol, shown to inhibit
blood-platelet clumping (and consequently, blood clot formation) and boost
good-type HDL cholesterol. Red grapes are antibacterial and antiviral
in test tubes. Grape seed oil also raises good-type cholesterol.
GRAPEFRUIT -- The pulp contains
a unique pectin (in membranes and juice sacs-not in juice) that lowers
blood cholesterol and reverses arteriosclerosis (clogged arteries) in
animals. Has anticancer activity, and appears particularly protective
against stomach and pancreatic cancer. The juice is antiviral and high
in various antioxidants, especially vitamin C.
HONEY -- Strong antibiotic properties. Has sleep-inducing, sedative and tranquilizing
properties. Use sparingly as it is high in sugar.
KALE -- Rich source of various
anti-cancer chemicals. Has more beta carotene than spinach and twice as
much lutein, the most of any vegetable tested. Kale is also a member of
the cruciferous family, endowing it with anti-cancer indoles that help
regulate estrogen and fight off colon cancer.
KIWI FRUIT -- Commonly prescribed
in Chinese traditional medicine to treat stomach and breast cancer. High
in vitamin C.
LECITHIN -- Protects the nerves.
Improves memory. May help thyroid and adrenal hypertension. Protects cells
against damage by oxidation. Emulsifies fat in the blood.
LEMON -- This citrus fruit
ranks very high in its medicinal value, having many therapeutical uses.
Lemon juice is a natural antiseptic which may be safely applied directly
to cuts, bruises and infections. Lemon juice is good for asthma, headaches,
pneumonia, and arthritis. It is a good general blood and body purifier
and a mild diuretic. Do not take in cases of inflammations of the digestive
tract. The juice also aids in the removal of old drug poisons from the
body!
LICORICE -- Strong anti-cancer
powers, possibly because of a high concentration of glycyrrhizin. Mice
drinking glycyrrhizin dissolved in water have fewer skin cancers. Also
kills bacteria, fights ulcers and diarrhea. May act as a diuretic. Too
much licorice can raise blood pressure. Also it is not advised for pregnant
women. Only real licorice has these powers. Licorice "candy" sold in the
United States is made with anise instead of real licorice. Real licorice
says "licorice mass." Imitation licorice is labeled "artificial licorice"
or "anise."
MELON (green & yellow, such as cantaloupe
& honeydew) -- Has anti-coagulant (blood-thinning) activity.
Contains the antioxidant beta carotene.
MILK -- Milk fat promotes
cancer and heart disease. Milk is also an unappreciated terror in triggering
"allergic" reactions that induce joint pain and symptoms of rheumatoid
arthritis, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome and diarrhea. In children
and infants milk is suspected to cause or contribute to colic, respiratory
problems, sleeplessness, itchy rashes, migraines, epileptic seizures,
ear infections and even diabetes. May retard healing of ulcers.
MUSHROOM (Asian, including shiitake) -- A longevity tonic, heart medicine and cancer remedy in Asia. Current
tests show mushrooms, such as maitake, help prevent and/or treat cancer,
viral diseases, such as influenza and polio, high blood cholesterol, sticky
blood platelets and high blood pressure. Eaten daily, maitake or shiitake,
fresh (three ounces) or dried (one-third ounce), cut cholesterol by 7
and 12 percent respectively. A shiitake compound, lentinan, is a broad-spectrum
antiviral agent that potentiates immune functioning. Used to treat leukemia
in China and breast cancer in Japan. Extract (sulfated B-glucans) has
been declared by Japanese scientists more effective as an AIDS drug than
the common drug AZT. Eating black ("tree ear') mushroom "thins the blood."
No therapeutic effects are known for the common U.S. button mushroom.
Some claim this species has cancer-causing potential (hydrazides) unless
cooked.
MUSTARD (including horseradish) -- Recognized for centuries as a decongestant and expectorant. Helps break
up mucus in air passages. A good remedy for congestion caused by colds
and sinus problems. Also antibacterial. Increases metabolism, burning
off extra calories. In one British test about three-fifths of a teaspoon
of ordinary yellow mustard increased metabolic rate about 25 percent,
burning forty-five more calories in three hours.
NUTS -- Anti-cancer and heart-protective
properties. A key food among Seventh-Day Adventists, known for their low
rates of heart disease. Walnuts and almonds help reduce cholesterol, contain
high concentrations of antioxidant oleic acid and mono-unsaturated fat,
similar to that in olive oil, known to protect arteries from damage. Nuts
generally are high in antioxidant vitamin E, shown to protect against
chest pain and artery damage. Brazil nuts are extremely rich in selenium,
an antioxidant linked to lower rates of heart disease and cancer. Walnuts
contain ellagic acid, an antioxidant and cancer-fighter, and are also
high in omega-3 type oil. Nuts, including peanuts, are good regulators
of insulin and blood sugar, preventing steep rises, making them good foods
for those with glucose intolerance and diabetes. Peanuts also are estrogenic.
Nuts have been found lacking in the diets of those who later develop Parkinson's
disease. Prime cause of acute allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.
OATS -- Can depress cholesterol
10 percent or more, depending on individual responses. Oats help stabilize
blood sugar, have estrogenic and antioxidant activity. They also contain
psychoactive compounds that may combat nicotine cravings and have anti-depressant
powers. High doses can cause gas, abdominal bloating and pain in some.
OLIVE OIL -- Lowers bad LDL
cholesterol without lowering good HDL cholesterol. Helps keep bad cholesterol
from being converted to a toxic or "oxidized" form. Thus, helps protect
arteries from plaque. Reduces blood pressure, helps regulate blood sugar.
Has potent antioxidant activity. Best oil for kitchen cooking and salads.
ONION -- (including chives, shallots, scallions,
leeks) -- Reputed in ancient Mesopotamia to cure virtually
everything. An exceptionally strong antioxidant. Full of numerous anti-cancer
agents. Blocks cancer dramatically in animals. The onion is the richest
dietary source of quercetin, a potent antioxidant (in shallots, yellow
and red onions only-not white onions). Specifically linked to inhibiting
human stomach cancer. Thins the blood, lowers cholesterol, raises good-type
HDL cholesterol (preferred dose: half a raw onion a day), wards off blood
clots, fights asthma, chronic bronchitis, hay fever, diabetes, arteriosclerosis
and infections. Anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antiviral, thought to have
diverse anti-cancer powers. Quercetin is also a sedative. Onions aggravate
heartburn, may promote gas.
ORANGE -- Natural cancer-inhibitor,
includes carotenoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Also rich in antioxidant
vitamin C and beta-carotene. Specifically tied to lower rates of pancreatic
cancer. Orange juice protected mice sperm from radiation damage. Because
of its high vitamin C, oranges may help ward off asthma attacks, bronchitis,
breast cancer, stomach cancer, arteriosclerosis, gum disease, and boost
fertility and healthy sperm in some men. May aggravate heartburn.
PARSLEY -- Anti-cancer because
of its high concentrations of antioxidants, such as monoterpenes, phthalides,
polyacetylenes. Can help detoxify carcinogens and neutralize certain carcinogens
in tobacco smoke. Also, has diuretic activity.
PINEAPPLE -- Suppresses inflammation.
A main constituent, an antibacterial enzyme called bromelain, is anti-inflammatory.
Pineapple aids digestion, helps dissolve blood clots and is good for preventing
osteoporosis and bone fractures because of its very high manganese content.
It is also antibacterial and anti-viral and mildly estrogenic.
PLUM -- Antibacterial. Anti-viral.
Laxative.
POTATO (white) -- Contains
anticancer protease inhibitors. High in potassium, thus may help prevent
high blood -pressure and strokes. Some estrogenic activity.
PRUNE -- A well known laxative.
High in fiber, sorbitol and natural aspirin.
PUMPKIN -- Extremely high
in beta carotene, the antioxidant reputed to help ward off numerous health
problems, including heart attacks, cancer, cataracts.
RASPBERRY -- Anti-viral, anti-cancer
activity. High in natural aspirin.
RICE -- Anti-diarrheal, anti-cancer
activity. Like other seeds, contains anti-cancer protease inhibitors.
Of all grains and cereals, it is the least likely to provoke intestinal
gas or adverse reactions (intolerances) causing bowel distress such as
spastic colon. Rice bran is excellent against constipation, lowers cholesterol
and tends to block development of kidney stones.
SEAWEED & KELP (brown or Laminaria type seaweed) -- One of the best foods that you can eat in cases of hypo-thyroid. It
is rich in many important minerals. Antibacterial and anti-viral activity
in brown Laminaria type seaweed known as kelp. It kills herpes virus,
for example. Kelp may also lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Wakame
boosts immune functioning. Nori kills bacteria and seems to help heal
ulcers. A chemical from wakame seaweed is a clot-buster, in one test twice
as powerful as the common drug heparin. Most types of seaweed have anti-cancer
activity. Might aggravate acne flare-ups.
SOYBEAN -- Rich in hormones,
it boosts estrogen levels in post-menopausal women. Has anti-cancer activity
and is thought to be especially antagonistic to breast cancer, possibly
one reason rates of breast and prostate cancers are low among the Japanese.
Soybeans are the richest source of potent protease inhibitors which are
anti-cancer, anti-viral agents. Soybeans lower blood cholesterol substantially.
In animals, soybeans seem to deter and help dissolve kidney stones.
SPINACH -- Tops the list,
along with other green leafy vegetables, as a food most eaten by people
who don't get cancer. A super source of antioxidants and cancer antagonists,
containing about four times more beta-carotene and three times more lutein
than broccoli, for example. Rich in fiber that helps lower blood cholesterol.
Some of it's antioxidants are destroyed by cooking. Eat raw or lightly
cooked.
STRAWBERRY -- Anti-viral,
anti-cancer activity. Often eaten by people less likely to develop all
types of cancer. Only eat organically grown. Strawberries have the highest
amount of pesticide contaminates.
SUGAR -- Helps heal wounds
when applied externally. Like other carbohydrates, sugar helps induce
cavities. Also may be related to Crohn's disease. Triggers rise in blood
sugar and stimulates insulin production. One teaspoon of sugar is said
to set the immune system back 3 ½ hours. Causes fatigue and adrenal weakness.
SWEET POTATO (yams) -- A source
of the antioxidant beta carotene, linked to preventing heart disease,
cataracts strokes and numerous cancers. One half cup of mashed sweet potatoes
contains about milligrams of beta carotene, or about 23,000 international
units (lUs), according to Department of Agriculture figures.
TEA (including black, oolong and green tea,
not herbal teas) -- Amazing and diverse pharmacological
activity, mainly due to catechins. Tea acts as an anticoagulant, artery
protector, antibiotic, anti-ulcer agent, cavity-fighter, anti-diarrheal
agent, anti-viral agent, diuretic (caffeine), analgesic (caffeine), mild
sedative (decaffeinated). In animals tea and tea compounds are potent
blockers of various cancers. Tea drinkers appear to have less arteriosclerosis
(damaged, clogged arteries) and fewer strokes. Excessive tea drinking
because of its caffeine could aggravate anxiety, insomnia and symptoms
of PMS. Tea may also promote kidney stone because of its high oxalate
content. Green tea, popular in Asian countries, is highest in catechins,
followed by oolong and ordinary black tea, common in the United States.
Green tea is considered most potent. One human study, however, found no
difference in benefits to arteries from green or black tea.
TOMATO -- A major source of
lycopene, an antioxidant and anti-cancer agent that intervenes in devastating
chain reactions of oxygen free radical molecules. Tomatoes are linked
in particular to lower rates of pancreatic cancer and cervical cancer.
TUMERIC -- Truly one of the marvelous medicinal spices of the world. Its main
active ingredient is curcumin which gives turmeric its intense cadmium
yellow color. Curcumin, studies show, is an anti-inflammatory agent on
a par with cortisone, and has reduced inflammation in animals and symptoms
of rheumatoid arthritis in humans. In other tests, it lowered cholesterol,
hindered platelet aggregation (blood clotting), protected the liver from
toxins, boosted stomach defenses against acid, lowered blood sugar in
diabetics, and was a powerful antagonist of numerous cancer-causing agents.
Anti-cancer activity.
WATERMELON -- High amounts
of lycopene and glutathione, antioxidant and anti-cancer compounds. Also
mild anti-bacterial, anti-coagulant activity.
WHEAT -- High-fiber whole
wheat, and particularly wheat bran, ranks as the world's greatest preventives
of constipation. The bran is potently anti-cancer. Remarkably, in humans,
wheat bran can suppress that which can develop into colon cancer. Anti-parasitic.
Ranks exceedingly high as a trigger of food intolerances and allergies,
resulting in symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome
and neurological illnesses.
YOGURT -- An ancient wonder
food, strongly antibacterial and anti-cancer. A cup or two of yogurt a
day boosts immune functioning by stimulating production of gamma interferon.
Also spurs activity of natural killer cells that attack viruses and tumors.
A daily cup of yogurt reduced colds and other upper respiratory infections
in humans. Helps prevent and cure diarrhea. A daily cup of yogurt with
acidophilus cultures prevents vaginitis (yeast infections) in women. Helps
fight bone problems, such as osteoporosis, because of high available calcium
content. Acidophilus yogurt cultures neutralize cancer-causing agents
in the intestinal tract. Plain old yogurt with L bulgaricus and S. thermophilus
cultures, both live and dead, blocked lung cancers in animals. Yogurt
with live cultures is safe for people with lactose intolerance.
Be sure to buy organic produce and range free meats whenever possible!
