 The first thing that the smoothies did for me was help me not crave junk food. I think bad cravings are from nutritional deficiencies. When those deficiencies are met, then the cravings go away. We should always listen to our cravings. That is one of the first questions I ask clients when they come to see me. I think smoothies are a key factor in more people becoming raw. If a person is not dealing with constant cravings, then they will find being raw a lot easier.
When I stopped craving junk food, I realized I really did want to go raw. |

 The drug companies -- with all their slick marketing, scientific fraud, political influence and celebrity sponsorship -- will soon find themselves selling products only to the uninformed, low-IQ junk food eating consumers who simply don't know any better. All the smart, successful, sexy, healthy and productive people are turning to natural remedies and increasingly adopting plant-based diets.
It's pretty simple, really: Plants make you healthy; drugs make you sick. Plants protect your liver; drugs destroy it. Plants enhance brain function; drugs destroy brain function. |

 Other films to look forward to this year include All Jacked Up as well as one tentatively titled, "Junk Food, Inc.") Generation Rx is a must-see documentary that reveals the true depth of criminality and fraud in modern psychiatric medicine.

| We knew people are eating a lot of junk food, but to have almost one-third of their calories coming from those categories is appalling," bemoans Gladys Block, Ph.D., a professor of epidemiology and public health nutrition at the University of California at Berkeley's School of Public Health.
Soft drinks alone contributed 7.1 percent of the average American's total calories, and salty snacks and fruit-flavored drinks comprised another
5 percent, explains Dr. Block, who studied data from two governmental surveys, which together looked at the food habits of more than 38,000 people nationwide. |

 Not only did they steadily increase their visits to the gym, they reported that they smoked less, drank less caffeine and alcohol, ate more healthy food and less junk food, curbed impulse spending and overspending, and lost their tempers less often. They procrastinated less and kept more appointments. And, they didn't leave the dishes in the sink—at least not as often.

 The sugar in apples come wrapped with 5 g of fiber and a rich blend of nutrients, very different from the high-fructose corn syrup used to sweeten every junk food on the market. And one study, by Dr. Silvina Lotito at the Linus Pauling Institute, actually suggests that the fructose in apples might even turn out to be responsible for some of the apple's health benefits.

 That means it's currently much more common in the developed world because easy access to high-calorie, low-nutrient junk food means so many more people are obese—but it seems clear that the predisposition to Type 2 diabetes exists across population groups. There are higher levels of incidence in certain populations, of course—but even that tends to occur hand in hand with higher levels of obesity. The Pima Indians of the southwestern United States, for example, have a staggering rate of diabetes—nearly half of all adults. |
| Here's how epigenetics may be partially responsible for the epidemic of childhood obesity. The junk food that fills so many American diets is high in calories and fats, but often very low in nutrients, especially those that are important to a developing embryo. If a newly pregnant mother spends the first weeks of her pregnancy eating a typical junk-food-laden diet, the embryo may receive signals that it's going to be born into a harsh environment where critical types of food are scarce. |

| Low blood sugar goes away whether you eat junk food or healthy food, but long term, a diet that's low in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients will make you tired, irritable, and absentminded. Your daily food choices make a big difference in your life, especially when you take medications that deplete nutrients.
Science has proven that following the principles of optimum nutrition can:
• Improve your mood.
• Increase your mental and physical stamina and your overall health.
• Enhance your concentration, memory, and overall mental ability.
• Reduce your stress level. |
| The most fundamental changes are those described in Chapter 2: they involve getting the junk food, processed food, flour, and sugars out of your life, and making vegetables, lean protein, nuts, and fruit the mainstays of your diet.
Identifying foods or ingredients that you're sensitive to—most commonly, wheat, dairy, soy, peanuts, chocolate, fish, shellfish, corn, yeast, and eggs—may be key for fixing your digestive symptoms at their source. Keeping a food journal and tracking your symptoms will help you to identify food sensitivities and act accordingly. |
