Toxic Chemicals in Dairy Products
As if the problematic chemicals found naturally in dairy products do not endanger your health enough to be a reason to stop consuming them, you also must factor in how dairy acts as a magnet to absorb even more pernicious contaminants from the surrounding environment. It’s a one-two punch to your well-being and the chemical load levels don’t necessarily improve much, if at all, if you use organic dairy products. Read entire article.

When Friends Ask: Where Do You Get Your Protein?

The Dawn of Disease
Our ancestors lived significantly healthier lives. When did it all go wrong?
Modern humans have created a society that is unique in the entire history of man. When reading historical literature on history and science, it appears our ancestors were not preoccupied with pain, suffering, and disease.

Raw Veganism: The Most “Extreme” Diet?
The earth itself provides health and vitality; and man’s innovations often do more harm than good. This is especially true in the case of food.

Because of their natural satisfying properties people refer to potatoes, rice, pasta, beans, and corn as “comfort foods.” In addition to “clean and efficient energy,” starches provide an abundance of other nutrients, such as proteins, essential fats, vitamins, and minerals. Single starches, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, are “complete foods” and can easily meet all of our nutritional needs.
