Fruits and Vegetables

A Coincidence????

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris

and radiating lines look just like the human eye...and

science shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow

to and function of the eyes. 


A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is

red and has four chambers. All of the research shows

tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food. 


Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart.

Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research

today shows that grapes are also profound heart and

blood vitalizing food. 


A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere,

upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles

or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know

that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters

for brain function. 


Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function

and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys. 


Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones.

These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23%

sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have

enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones,

making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs

of the body. 


Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function

of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these

organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1

avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth

weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is

this? .... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from

blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic

chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods

(modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them). 


Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance

the glycemic index of diabetics. 


Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries. 



Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that

onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells.

They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers

of the eyes. 

"The news isn't that fruits and vegetables are

good for you, it's that they are so good for you,

they can save your life."

Happy EARTH DAY!

Tip of the Day: Eat more local, fresh, organic vegetables. Cut out the meats, which require an enormous amount of water and contribute to land, water, and air pollution in a variety of ways. A plant-based diet is good for you and good for the Earth!

Water Fluoridation?

In a battle to educate the public and get the attention of politicians, the Fluoride Action Network has issued an international statement and call to action. Professionals Statement Calling for an End to Water Fluoridation: "It is time for the US, and the few remaining fluoridating countries, to recognize that fluoridation is outdated, has serious risks that far outweigh any minor benefits, violates sound medical ethics and denies freedom of choice. Fluoridation must be ended now." So far, 2,213 Professionals Call for an End to Water Fluoridation.

The Fluoride Action Network is an international coalition seeking to broaden public awareness about the toxicity of fluoride compounds and the health impacts of current fluoride exposures.

President Obama bans 'downer' cows

President says current food safety system is a 'hazard to public health'

The Obama administration permanently banned the slaughter of cows too sick or weak to stand on their own, seeking to further minimize the chance that mad cow disease could enter the food supply.

"As part of our commitment to public health, our Agriculture Department is closing a loophole in the system to ensure that diseased cows don't find their way into the food supply," President Obama said in his weekly address.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the ban was "a step forward for both food safety and the standards for humane treatment of animals."

The president said he was creating a Food Safety Working Group to coordinate food safety laws throughout government and advise him on how to update them. Many of these laws, essential to safeguarding the public from disease, haven't been touched since they were written in the time of President Theodore Roosevelt, he said.

The Healthiest Food is the Greenest

As documented in National Geographic a few months ago, many U.S. stores will soon begin using an Overall Nutritional Quality Index developed by Yale University to score foods from 1 to 100 based on nutrients, vitamins, sugar, salt, as well as impact on blood pressure and other health concerns.

Check out some of the top foods:

Broccoli, blueberries, orange, green beans, mustard greens, strawberries, and spinach all have a score of 100!

Pineapple and radish have a 99. Summer squash has a 98.

Apple, green cabbage, and tomato have a score of 96.

The top twenty on the list is almost entirely made up of vegetables and fruits.

Only salmon, snapper, and Tilapia crack the bottom of the top twenty rankings of 80-100. All other meats fall between the 20-40 score ranking-- quite poor. This shows that not only are the most nutritious foods the greenest, but they're also the most humane.

The production of meat produces more pollution than any other cause contributing to global warming via methane emissions from waste and CO2 from transport, contributing to water pollution via run off of waste and hormones, among other forms of environmental destruction.

Go for the greenest. It's better for you, better for the Earth, and better for the animals we share the planet with.

Related News: UN Says Eat Less Meat to Curb Global Warming

Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should reduce their meat consumption. His comments are the most controversial advice yet provided by the panel on how individuals can help tackle global warming. Pachauri said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental problems - including habitat destruction - associated with rearing cattle and other animals. The UN has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Organic is the Way!

A 2006 study by Emory University revealed that more vitamins and minerals (and less pesticide residues) are found in foods that are organic. Antioxidant levels are also about 30% higher in organic foods than in conventional non-organic, according to recent studies.
