Food Natural Defined

Executive Summary about Food Natural by Stephanie Yeh

natural foods

With so many people concerned about natural and organic foods these days, it’s useful to stop and really take a look at what “natural” and “organic” foods really are. We all know that natural and organic foods are better for us than highly processed or artificial foods, but do we really know which foods are natural and organic? When you buy food that is labeled “natural,” what does that really mean? What about “organic”? More liberal food manufacturers argue that “natural” means any material that exists in nature. Never mind that they don’t exist glued together as aspartame! Go with a term that is clearly defined and regulated by the FDA: organic. In the meantime, avoid foods that are only labeled as “natural” and go for those labeled “organic” or “natural and organic.”

Why Not Keep Food Natural

Executive Summary about Food Natural by Page Remick What’s in a Name? An Oil by any other Name would smell… Canola: a compilation of the word ‘Canada’ and ‘oil’, Canola is a Genetically Engineered (GE) plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant. With the advent of Genetic Engineering/Genetic Modification, previous restrictions concerning non-consumption by humans of this toxic oil was relaxed and the modification of this plant took place. Some could argue that once a plant has been modified, it is no longer the same plant, and yet it is still grown on the Rapeseed plant. If this plant has been so modified as to no longer be toxic, then why do insects, which would not consume the ‘original’ Rapeseed plant, still not consume the ‘modified’ plant? Why not keep natural food, natural? Some claim that because the modified plant can be quickly, easily and cheaply grown that it’s oil becomes the oil of choice in more and more manufactured foods. Canola oil:

• Genetically Modified/Engineered
• Hydrogenated
• Contains trans fatty acids (TFA). Under high heat, to make Canola oil more ‘palatable’, the unsaturated fats convert to trans fats. TFA oils are produced with an added molecule of hydrogen which keeps the oil from rotting as well as destroying any nutrients in the oil.
• Contains long chain fatty acids. Canola oil is a very long chain fatty acid.”Canola oil has been created from a GM plant that is originally toxic, has been hydrogenated, has trans fatty acids as well as long chain fatty acids and uric acid. While no long-term human studies have been conducted, the results of rats fed Canola oil are alarming: a fatty degeneration of their adrenals, thyroid glands, heart and kidneys occurred. Why not keep natural food, natural?

A Negative Calorie Food List

By Terje Ellingsen

calorie food list

To make a negative calorie food list, we must be precisely clear on what we mean. There has been some confusion about this phrase. Some have thought that this kind of food contains no calories at all. This can’t be right as long as all kinds of food contains at least some energy.

We’re going to present you with a list of this kind of food. If you follow it, not necessarly without any other kinds of food, it will increase metabolism naturally, and the result will be weight loss – especially compared with eating a meal where these foods are not included.

Now, it’s time for a definition. When we say nagative calorie food, we mean foods which contain so little energy that the body actually uses more energy to digest and absorb the nutrients. So if you subtract calories you’ll burn from the calories you eat, the result will be negative. Only by digesting the food you have eaten, there will be a net loss of energy or a negative energy balance. This is what must happen if you want to lose weight but with this food you don’t have to do anything but eat it to accomplish that.

You can also eat protein in combination with such food. Good protein will help you control your appetite as well as increase your metabolism because the total amount of calories are not reduced too much.

Here is the list:

Vegetables

Fennel, aubergine, gourd, broccoli, leek, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, marrow, cauliflower, peppers, celery, radish, chicory, spinach, cress, tomato, cucumber, turnip.

Fruits

Apricot, mandarin orange, blackberry, melon canteloupe, blackcurrant, peaches, clementines, plums, damsons, raspberry, grapefruit. rhubarb, guava, strawberry, honeydew melon, tangerine, lemon, watermelon.
