Check out this amazing picture of piles of junk food in a school store. It's disgusting.I just asked my members of Congress to support legislation to help stop the sale of junk food to schoolchildren. Please take a minute to visit the link below to see the picture and send messages to your members of Congress.

I don't know for sure Kristen, but I don't think it's true.

The trouble with any of these "urban legends", there may be "some"

truth" to it, but that little bit is what hooks us into swallowing the

whole tamale when it's not valid at all.

Hook, Line and Sinker.

PS. I tend to ignore Time Magazine altogether. They get it wrong more

than they get it right. You can almost count on them to get it wrong.

Hi Doc,

 

A friend of mine sent this to me and thought I

would send it along. Is there any truth to this?

 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

You are what you eat, so eat well. A stupendous

insight of civilizations

past has now been confirmed by today's investigative, nutritional

sciences. They have shown that what was once called 'The Doctrine of

Signatures' was astoundingly correct. It now contends that every whole

food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological

function

and that this pattern acts as a signal or sign as to the benefit the

food

provides the eater. Here is just a short list of examples of Whole Food

Signatures.

 

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 b ones, 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).

 

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase

the

motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to

overcome male sterility.

 

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic

index of diabetics.

 

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

 

Grapefruits, Oranges , and other citrus fruits look just like the

mammary

glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and

the

movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

 

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 .' David Bjerklie,
