Traditional processing has two functions: to make food more digestible and to preserve it for use during times when food
is not readily available. This type of processing produced traditional foods like sausage and the old fashioned puddings
and haggis, as well as grain products, dairy products, pickles, everything from wine and spirits to lacto fermented
beverages. Farmers and artisans – bread makers, cheese makers, distillers, millers and so forth – processed these foods.
They made delicious foods that retained their nutritional content and kept the profits on the farm and in the farming
communities where it belonged.
Unfortunately, in modern times, we have largely replaced local artisan processing with factory and industrial processing,
which actually destroys the food, rather than making it more digestible. Industrial processing depends upon sugar, white
flour, processed and hydrogenated oils, synthetic food additives and vitamins, and the extrusion processing of grains. Let
us have a look at the typical American breakfast of cereal, skim milk and orange juices.
PACKAGED CERALS
These cereals are produced by a process called extrusion. Giant corporations take the grains from the farmer, pay a
pittance for them, make them into a slurry and put them in a machine called an extruder. The grains are forced out of a
tiny hole at high temperature and pressure, which shapes them into little o’s and flakes, or shreds them or puffs them.
These are then subjected to sprays that give a coating of oil and sugar to seal off the cereal from the ravages of milk and
to give it crunch.
Biochemist Paul Stitt has written about the extrusion process used for these cereals, which treats the grains with very
high heat and high pressure and destroys much of their nutrients. It destroys the fatty acids; it even destroys the synthetic
vitamins that are added at the end.
The amino acid lysine, a crucial nutrient, is especially damaged by extrusion. This is how most of the boxed cereals are
made, even those sold in the health food sores. They are made in the same way and mostly in the same factories. The
only advances being made in the extrusion process are those which will cut cost, regardless of how these will alter the
nutrient content of the product. Cereals are a multibillion dollar industry that has created huge fortunes.
Most seriously, the extrusion process turns the proteins in grains into neurotoxins. Stitt wrote about an unpublished
experiment, conducted in 1942 by a cereal company, in which four sets of rats were given special diets. One group
received plain whole wheat, water and synthetic vitamins and minerals. A second group received puffed wheat (an
extruded cereal), water and the same nutrient solution. A third set was given water and white sugar. A fourth set was
given nothing but water and synthetic nutrients.
The rats that received the whole wheat lived over a year on this diet. The rats that got nothing but water and vitamins
lived about two months. The animals on a white sugar and water diet lived about a month.
The study showed that the rats given the vitamins, water and all the puffed wheat they wanted died within two weeks,
even before the rats that got no food at all.
These results suggest that there was something very toxic in the puffed wheat itself.
Proteins are very similar to certain toxins in molecular structure, and the pressure of the puffing process may produce
chemical changes that turn a nutritious grain into a poisonous substance.
Another unpublished experiment was carried out in 1960. Researches at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor were
given eighteen laboratory rats. These were divided into three groups: one group received cornflakes and water. A second
group was given the cardboard box that the cornflakes came in and water. The control group received rat chow and
water.
The rats in the control group remained in good health throughout the experiment. The rats eating the box became
lethargic and eventually died of malnutrition. The rats receiving the cornflakes and water died before the rats that were
eating the box.
Further more, before death, the cornflakes eating rats developed aberrant behavior, threw fits, bit each other and finally
went into convulsions. Autopsy revealed dysfunction of the pancreas, liver and kidneys and degeneration of the nerves of
the spine, all sign of insulin shock.
The startling conclusion of this study was that there was more nourishment in the box than there was in the cornflakes.
This experiment was actually designed as a joke, but the results were far from funny.
Most Americans eat boxed cereals today. Because these are fortified with synthetic nutrients, the USDA can claim that
they are as healthy as the grains from which they are made. Many of these cereals are at least 50 percent sugar. Those
sold in health food stores may be made of whole grains and contain better quality sweeteners.
However, these whole grain extruded cereals are probably more dangerous than their refined grain counterparts, because
they are higher in protein, and it is the proteins in these cereals that are denatured by this type of processing.
When we put cereals through an extruder, it alters the structure of the proteins. Zeins, which comprise the majority of
proteins in corn, are located in spherical organelles called protein bodies. One study investigated change in protein body,
shape and release of encapsulated alpha-zeins as a result of the extrusion processing.
Researchers found that during extrusion, the protein bodies were completely disrupted and the alpha-zeins dispersed. The
results suggest that the zeins in cornflakes are not confined to rigid protein bodies but can interact with each other and
other components of the system, forming new compounds that are completely foreign to the human body.
The extrusion process breaks down the organelles and disperses the proteins, which then become toxic. When the
proteins are disrupted in this way, it can adversely affect the nervous system, as indicated by the cornflake experiment.
There is only one way to put these companies out of business, and that is not to eat their food. So, what are you going to
have for breakfast? We need to go back to the old fashioned porridges made from non-extruded grains. These grains
should be soaked overnight to get rid of the anti-nutrients that are normally neutralized in the sprouting process. Soaking
will neutralize the tannins, enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid and gently bbre3ak down complex proteins. You soak the
grains in warm water and one tablespoon of something acidic, like whey, yogurt, lemon juice or vinegar. The next
morning, your grain will cook in just a few minutes.
It is best to eat it with butter or cream, coconut and chopped nuts like our grandparents did. The nutrients in the fats are
needed in order for you to absorb the nutrients in the grains.
Without the fats, especially the animal fats - which are the only sources of true vitamin A complex and vitamin D3 – you
cannot absorb the minerals in your food.
MILK
Milk is one of nature’s most perfect foods. Most of our milk comes from a sacred animal, the cow. Today, however, we
are imprisoning cows indoors for their entire lives and feeding them foods, such as grains, candy and the swill from
ethanol production that cows never before ate, while administering them hormones and other drugs.
These cows produce huge amounts of watery milk with only half the amount of fat compared to milk that cows would
naturally produce. Then this milk is shipped to factories for processing.
Inside the plants, the milk is completely remade. First, centrifuges separated the milk into fat, protein and various other
solids and liquids. Once segregated, these are recombined at specific levels set for whole, low fat and not fat milks. Of
the reconstituted milks, whole milk will most closely approximate original cow’s milk. What is left over will go into
butter cream, cheese, dried milk and a host of other milk products.
The dairy industry loves to produce low fat milk and skim milk because they can make a lot of money by selling the
butterfat for ice cream. When they remove the fat to make reduced fat milks, they replace it with powdered milk
concentrate, which is formed by high temperature spray drying.
Then the milk is sent by tanker trucks (which are not refrigerated) to bottling plants. The milk is pasteurized at 161 F for
15 seconds by rushing it past superheated stainless steel plates. If the temperature is 200 F, the milk is considered ultra
pasteurized. This ultra pasteurized milk will have a distinct cooked milk taste, but it is sterile and can be sold on the
grocery shelf. In other words, it does not require refrigeration.
The bugs will not touch it. As it is cooked, the milk is also homogenized by a pressure treatment that breaks the fat
globules so the milk will not separate.
Once processed, the milk will last for weeks, not just days.
Fortunately, real milk from pastured fed cows that is not pasteurized processed or homogenized is becoming more
widely available. People are learning where to find it, and this is very encouraging. To find real milks in your area:

POWDERED MILK
In order to make powdered milk, the milk is forced through a tiny hole at high pressure and then blown out into the air.
This causes a lot of nitrates to form, and the cholesterol in the milk is oxidized. Contrary to popular opinion, cholesterol
is your best friends.
You do not have to worry about cholesterol, except that you do not want to eat oxidized cholesterol. In fact oxidized
cholesterol is used in animal research to cause atherosclerosis.
Powdered milk is added to reduced fat milks and milk products to give them body. So, when you drink skim milk or low
fat milk, or eat reduced fat yogurt, because you think that it will help you avoid heart disease; you are actually
consuming oxidized cholesterol, which can initiate the process of heart disease.
ORANGE JUICE
A QUOTE FROM Processed and Prepared Foods states that a new orange juice processing plant is completely
automated and can process up to 1.800 tons of oranges per day to produce frozen concentrate, single strength juice, oil
extracted from the peel, and cattle feed.
They throw the whole orange in there, and they add enzymes to extract as much of the juice as they can, even out of the
skin. The conventional orange crop is sprayed heavily with pesticides called cholinesterase inhibitors, which are very
toxic to the nervous system.
When they put the oranges in the vats and squeeze them, all that pesticide goes into the processing unit. Then they add
acids to get every single bit of juice out of these oranges. So commercial orange juice can be a very toxic soup.
What about the peel used for cattle feed? The dried, left over citrus peel is processed into cakes, which are still loaded
with organophosphates. Mark Purdey, in England, has shown this is correlated with mad cow disease.
The use of organophosphates either as a spray on the cows or in their feed is one of the causes of degeneration of the
brain and nervous system in the cow, and if it is doing it to the cow, there is a possibility it may be doing it to you also.
Another abstract states: Various acid sprays for improving fruit peel quality and increasing juice yield are added to these
processed oranges.
The US government tries to give the impression that pasteurization of the juice is necessary to ensure our safety.
However, it might surprise you to know that researchers have found fungus that is resistant to pressure and heat in
processed juices.
They found that 17 percent of Nigerian packages of orange juice and 20 percent of mango and tomato juices contained
these heat resistant fungi. So there is plenty of danger from contamination from these pasteurized juices. The also found
E. coli in the orange juice; it was pressure resistant and had survived pasteurization.
In one study, heat treated and acid hydrolyzed orange juice was tested from mutagenic activity. The authors found that
the heating process produced intermediated products which, under these of conditions, gave rise to mutagenicty and
cytotoxicity.
In other words, there were cancer causing compounds in the orange juice. In another study, gel filtration and high
performance liquid chromatography were used to obtain mutagenic fractions from heated orange juice.
So if you want juice with your breakfast, squeeze yourself a couple of organic oranges or an organic grapefruit, in other
words, process the juice yourself.
In the past, many traditional cultures made use of animal bones to make broth. They recognized that broth supplied a lot
of minerals and other nutrients, as well as wonderful flavors. In the USA, we used to make bone broth – beef broth,
chicken broth and fish broth - and we used these broths to make sauces and gravies. When we made sauce or gray at
home, we used the drippings from the good fat of the meat and added some flour and homemade broth.
Most commercial soup bases and sauces have artificial meat like flavors that mimic those we used to get from natural,
gelatin rich broth. These kinds of shortcuts mean that consumers are shortchanged.
When the homemade stocks were pushed out by the cheap substitutes, an important of minerals disappeared from the
American diet.
The thickening effects of gelatin could be mimicked with emulsifiers, but, of course, its health benefits were lost. And
gelatin is a very healthy thing to have in your diet. It helps you digest proteins properly and is supportive and digestive
health overall.
Research on gelatin and natural broths came to an end in the 1950s when food companies discovered how to induce
maillard reactions (the process of creating flavor compounds by mixing reduced sugars and amino acids under increased
temperatures) and produce meat like flavors in the laboratory. In a General Foods Company report issued in 1947,
chemists predicted that almost all natural flavors would soon be chemically synthesized.
Following the Second World War, American food companies discovered monosodium glutamate, a food ingredient the
Japanese had invented in 1908 to enhance food flavors, including meat like flavors.
Humans actually have receptors on the tongue for glutamate - it is the protein in food that the human body recognizes as
meat – but the glutamate in MSG has a different configuration, which cannot be assimilated properly by the body. Any
protein can be hydrolyzed (broken down into its component amino acids) to produce a base containing MSG. When the
industry learned how to synthesize the flavor of meat in the laboratory, using inexpensive proteins from grain and
legumes, the door was opened to a flood of new products, including bullion cubes, dehydrated soup mixes, sauce mixes,
TV dinners, and condiments with a meaty base3.
The fast food industry could not exist without MSG and artificial meat flavors that beguile the consumer into eating
bland and tasteless food.
The sauces in many commercially processed foods are basically MSG, water, thickeners, emulsifiers and caramel
coloring.
Your tongue is tricked into thinking that it is getting something nutritious, when it is getting nothing at all except some
very toxic substances.
Even dressings, Worcestershire sauce, rice mixes, flavored tofu, bullion cubes, imitation garlic and onions, and many
other food products with a meat like taste have MSG in them.
Almost all canned soups and stews contain MSG, and the hydrolyzed protein bases often contain MSG in very large
amounts.
So called homemade soups in most restaurants are usually made by adding water to artificial flavorings in a powdered
soup base and then adding chopped vegetables, etc. Even things like lobster bisque and fish sauces in most seafood
restaurants are full of these artificial flavors.
It is all profit based. They even think it is too costly to just use a little onion and garlic for flavoring – they use the
artificial garlic and onion flavors instead.
Unfortunately, most of the processed vegetarian foods are loaded with these flavorings as well. The list of ingredients in
vegetarian hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon, baloney, etc., may include hydrolyzed protein and natural flavors.
MSG LABELING
The three most toxic additives in our food supply are MSG, hydrolyzed protein and aspartame, and the first two are in all
of these secret sauces containing natural flavors. Many products that say spice mixes or natural flavors on the label
contain MSG. Food manufactures get around the labeling requirements by putting MSG in the spice mixes; if the mix is
less than 50 percent MSG, they do not have to indicate MSG on the label. You may have noticed that the phrase NO
MSG has actually disappeared. The industry does not use it anymore because they found out that there was MSG in all
the spice mixes, even BRAGG’s amino acids had to take NO MSG off the label.
While the industry was adding MSG to food in larger and larger amounts, in 1957, scientist found that mice became
blind and obese when MSG was administered by feeding tube. In 1969, MSG induced lesions were found in the
hypothalamus region of the mouse brain. Subsequent studies pointed in the same direction. MSG is a neurotoxic
substance that causes a wide range of reactions in humans, from temporary headaches to permanent brain damage. It is
also associated with violent behavior. We have had a huge increase in Alzheimer’s, brain cancer, seizures, multiple
sclerosis and diseases of the nervous system, and one of the chief culprits is these flavorings in our food.
Ninety-five percent of processed foods contain MSG, and, in the late 1950s, it was even added to baby food.
Manufacturers say they have taken it out of the baby food, but they did not really remove it; they just called it
hydrolyzed protein instead.
There is an excellent book call Excitotoxins, by Russell Blaylock, which describes how nerve cells either disintegrate or
shrivel up in the presence of free glutamic acid, MSG ARE ABSORBED INDRECTLY FROM THE MOUTH TO THE
BRAIN.
Some the huge increase in the use MSG beginning in the late 1950s, particularly because it was put in baby food in very
large amounts.
The oil processing industry starts with crude vegetable oil and produces various oils, margarine, shortening and so forth.
Do not forget, most of these oils start out loaded with pesticides. The steps involved in processing usually include
bleaching, deodorizing, filtering and removing saturates to make the oils more liquid. In the process, the nutrients are
removed as well. Most processors also add a hexane solvent in order to squeeze the very last drop of oil out of the seeds.
Caustic refining, the most widely used process for oil refining, involves adding very alkaline, caustic chemicals to the
oil.
MARGARINE
Margarine processing uses the cheapest seeds, most of which are full of pesticides and genetically engineered. Oils
extracted under high temperature and pressure, and the remaining fraction of oil is removed with hexane solvents. Then
manufacturers steam clean the oils, which removes all the vitamins and all the antioxidants – but, of course, the solvents
and the pesticides remain. These oils are mixed with a nickel catalyst and then put into a huge high pressure, high
temperatur3e reactor. What comes out of that reactor is s smelly mass resembling grey cottage cheese. Then they mix in
the emulsifiers to smooth it out, and stem clean it again to get rid of the horrible smell. Then they bleach it to get rid of
the grey color, and they add artificial flavors and synthetic vitamins. But they are not allowed to add a synthetic color to
margarine. They have to add a natural color, such as annatto – a comforting thought. It is then packaged in blocks and
tubs and advertised as a health food.
HYDROGENATED OILS
Saturated fat is the type of fat found in such foods as lard, butter and coconut oil. It is a straight molecule, and it packs
together easily. That is why it is solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fat, found in oils such as olive oil, is a bent
molecule. It has a little bend at each double bond, with two hydrogen atoms sticking out, And when that molecule gets
incorporated into your cells, the body wants those two hydrogen atoms to be on the same side of the carbon chain,
forming an electron cloud; that is where chemical interactions take place that enable nutrients and oxygen to be
transported into the cell.
During the process of partial hydrogenation, on of those hydrogen atoms is moved to the other side, and it causes the
molecule to straighten out so that it behaves more like a saturate – although it is not.
The original, unsaturated molecules called a cis fatty acid, because the two hydrogens are together, and then it becomes a
trans fatty acid, because the two hydrogens are across from each other. Your body does not know that this new molecule
is something that has never existed in nature before, and when you eat one of these trans fatty acids, it gets built into
your cell membranes.
Then your body starts to realize something is wrong, because it wants to make chemical reactions where those two
hydrogens are, and it can not find them. And so the reactions can not take place. The more trans fatty acids that you eat,
the more partially hydrogenated your cells become and the more chaos that you are going to have on the cellular level.
All of the margarines, shortenings and even low trans fat spreads are made with these harmful ingredients. They are used
in chips and crackers, and many restaurants use them for cooking French fries.
They used to fry the fries in tallow, which is a very safe fat, but now they use partially hydrogenated soy bean oil.
In the past, when you made desserts for your kids, at least they contained butter, eggs, cream and nuts – all good
wholesome foods.
Now manufacturers can imitate the butter, eggs, cream and nuts, so all you have is sugar and artificial ingredients in
these instant puddings and other artificial desserts.
Many diseases have been associated with the consumption of trans fatty acids – heart disease, cancer and degeneration of
joints and tendons. The only reason that we are eating this stuff is because we have been told that the competing,
saturated fats and oils – the butter, lard, coconut oil, palm oil, tallow and suet – are bad for us and cause heart disease.
And that is nothing but industry propaganda.
Weston A Price, DDS, discovered that as children eat these processed foods, with each generation, the facial structure
become more and more narrow. Healthy faces should be broad. They should have perfectly straight teeth and no cavities.
When you are eating real, nutrient dense foods, you get the complete and perfect expression of the genetic potential. We
were given a perfect blueprint. Whether or not the body temple is built according to the blueprint depends, to a great
extent, on our wisdom in food choices.
When primitive societies abandoned the traditional diet and began to eat processed foods, the next generation developed
narrowed facial structure and many diseases. Animal studies indicate that when a deficient diet is continued for several
generations, reproduction ceases.
That is why the advanced spiritual teachers of the East never eat food prepared by anyone other than their own chelas
(disciples). The person preparing the food may be the only one in the household who is spiritually advanced. An active
charge of happiness, purity and peace will pour forth into the food from him, and this pours forth into the other members
of the family and blesses them.
To be healthy, we need to prepare our own food, for ourselves and our families. This does not mean you have to spend
hours in the kitchen, but you do need to spend some time there, preparing food with wisdom and love. If no one in the
family has time to go into the kitchen and prepare food, you need to sit down and rethink how you are spending your
time, because this is the only way to get nourishing foods into your children. We can return to good eating practices one
mouth at a time, one meal at a time, by preparing our own food properly.
