Real food is alive-and therefore it should eventually die.
Avoid foods that have some form of sugar (or sweetener) listed among the top three ingredients.Avoid food products that contain high-fructose corn syrup.Avoid food products containing ingredients that no ordinary human would keep in the pantry.These tastes are difficult to find in nature but cheap and easy for the food scientist to deploy, Today foods are processed in ways specifically designed to get us to buy and eat more by pushing our evolutionary buttons-our inborn preferences for sweetness and fat and salt.Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.Populations that eat a so-called Western diet-generally defined as a diet consisting of lots of processed foods and meat, lots of added fat and sugar, lots of refined grains, lots of everything except vegetables, fruits, and whole grains-invariably suffer from high rates of the so-called Western diseases: obesity, type diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.The whiter the bread, the sooner you’ll be dead.French paradox: the mystery (at least to nutritionists) of a population that eats all sorts of supposedly lethal fatty foods, and washes them down with red wine, but which is nevertheless healthier, slimmer, and slightly longer lived than we are.The healthiest food in the supermarket-the fresh produce-doesn’t boast about its healthfulness, because the growers don’t have the budget or the packaging.Humans are one among the few mammals who consume calories via liquid foods after weaning.Any food which contains added sugar is harmful to health.- Eat whole foods and try to avoid liquid food as much as possible.The more processed, longer shelf life products are less nutritious. An ideal consists of mainly plant-based ingredients as less processed as possible.I have also decided to include fermented food at least in one meal per week after reading about its benefits. The practice of having a colourful diet backed up with the idea of phytochemicals was new to me. The French Paradox mentioned in the book was also thought-provoking. But the book brought more clarity to my notion against processed food. BUY FROM AMAZON How the book has changed me?Īs mentioned earlier many ideas were already known to me.
