Digest Number 78

[Guest guest]

Shelly is absolutely correct. We are beseiged with propaganda from the

dairy and mean factories telling us we not protein, protein, and more

protein. Nothing can be further from the truth.

 

Protein cannot be stored in the body, and excess amounts of it (the SAD

Standard American Diet provides four times the needed protein) must be

disposed of in the kidneys and through the workings of the liver. When

the liver gets too much protein, it converts it to amonia, which is a

poison -- you will smell amonia in your urine when this happens. When your

kidneys get too much protein, it converts it to uric acid, which then goes

into the blood stream, and you don't want acids in your blood either, since

it will disolve the calcium in your bones, making them subject to

osteoporosis. Uric acid also causes gout. None of these things are good

for you, and neither is excess protein.

 

For some reason, the same people who have been hypnotized by the food

factories into believing they can't get too much protein, also have no idea

that all vegetables provide protein. Only fruit does not. And of course

we need enzymes and minerals as Shelly says. Food cooked above 117 F has

no enzymes left, since these are killed by heat at that or higher

temperatures.

Re:protein

 

Betsy,

Sorry I don't have time to look up the chart - Mother's milk - the time in

our lives we need the most protein - is very low in protein. I wish I was

good at memory work! Anyway, most salads would provide you more protein

than MM. An avocado or a 1/4 cup of nuts is plenty of protein a day! When

I get more time I will type out that info. for you. Eat much of your diet

raw so you will get the enzymes and minerals you need.
