CAN Fast Food Make You Crazy ?

t's impossible not to be impressed by the number of mass killings

that have taken place over the past few years. This disturbing phenomenon seems to be happening more and more all the time. Living in New Jersey as a teenager in the 1 !"s# about the only murders we ever heard #. Wheat$Free about were those carried out by %anca&e Reci'e different factions of the $afia. %f course# it's easy to point to the rampant violence on T& and in movies and the video games our kids are e'posed to as causative factors. Though this is definitely not a healthy preoccupation# maybe there's even more to the story than that.

Dr. #$ra% &o''er

(ack in the 1 )"s a *r. +bram ,offer broke ranks with his fellow medical doctors and started e'perimenting with a different concept for the treatment of mental illness. ,e thought that perhaps errant behavior had something to do with how a person was nourished. ,e noted that when bread manufacturers were re-uired to add vitamins . specifically &itamin (/# Niacin . to their product# that had been lost during the milling and processing of wheat# the benefits showed up in a very dramatic statistic. 0ince people started eating the enriched bread# over half of those people in mental institutions were able to leave and live normal lives on the outside1 2es# at least one link between mental illness and nutrition had been found. Then *r. ,offer reasoned that if a little Niacin could do that for people# how about larger doses3 *r. ,offer started e'perimenting with Niacin

on schi4ophrenic patients. The result5 +bout 6"7 of patients treated with Niacin improved dramatically or were cured. 8egular medicine comes in at around 1"7# not to mention all the really severe side effects of such drugs as (isperdal, #$ili'), Sero*uel, +eodo, a,d others.

nervous system damage is a common occurrence with the use of these chemicals. :hile on them a person is basically useless# 4ombie.like# chronically tired. + tremor called 2ardi/e d)s3i,esia is a result of long term use of anti.psychotics. I've seen it show up as a tremor of the head# hands and arms. I've seen people in their /"s and ;"s lose almost all their teeth due to the metabolic disruption caused by these prescription drugs over a period of years. I'm not bragging when I say that I -uit drinking sodas around the year 1 !/. It was a dire necessity for my health. In return for that <sacrifice= I was rewarded with freedom from headaches# colds# skin conditions# nervousness# constipation and more. +nd# no thanks to the $.*.s to which my parents dragged me. They had no advice for me e'cept >.La' and aspirin. No# soda wasn't the only culprit# of course. $y diet was poor in many ways5 too much sugar# too much ice cream# too many chocolate covered doughnuts# chocolate milk# sugary pies# candy bars. I was a living e'periment in malnutrition. &egetables were not a part of my diet.

Deficiency In The Midst Of Plenty

+nd in connection with what *r. ,offer discovered about the Pellagra is a vitamin deficiency disease most commonly link between deficiency and the caused by a chronic lack of niacin Cvitamin (/D in the diet. mind and brain# I want to Elasically# 9ellagra is characteri4ed by the ; .Ds0.

In hind sight now I lesions# insomnia# weakness# mental confusion# ata'ia# paralysis can see that I was probably on the of e'tremities# peripheral neuritis# dilated cardiomyopathy verge of sub.clinical pellagra# Cheart troubleD. Fventually dementia scurvy and whatever other plagues the third world is famous for. I was about 1/ or 1; when I started eating a more healthy diet# and the beneficial effects were -uick in coming and dramatic.

Experimental Evidence
In 1 1! one Dr. 4oseph +old$erger conducted an e'periment with 11 volunteer soldiers to see what the effect of a vitamin deficient diet would have on their bodies. (efore the e'periment the soldiers were eating fruits and vegetables from the garden. *r. ?oldberger's put the men on a mono.diet of corn only. :ithin @ust A weeks on this restricted regime signs of pellagra were beginning to show up. $any of the men were so sick they asked to be let out of the e'periment. (arbara 0titt is an author who once worked as a probation officer. In her book5 Food & Behavior: A Natural Connection# she tells of how changing the diet of e'.offenders eliminated the hostility and other symptoms that would lead them to act out in a criminal fashion. +lthough we have access to an abundance of food today# many children and teenagers B and adults as

well . hardly ever taste a fresh vegetable. $ost teenagers consume lots of sugar in many forms. 0ugar alone has a potent negative influence on metabolism and the nervous system. Add to that the widespread use of anti-psychotic drugs and their debilitating effects, which often paradoxically bring on the very behavior they are supposed to treat, and then the chronic lack of rest and sleep, as well as the assault on the mind of superficial and violent movies and television, and you have a potential disaster on your hands. I think it's very possible that the very lowest common denominator among us could easily go berserk under these circumstances.

*o you remember when margarine first came on the scene3 In the 1 !"s this highly processed grease was touted as a viable and healthy substitute for butter. :ell# it isn't. It tasted like a'le grease and probably would easily withstand !" thousand miles on your wheel hubs @ust as well. $ost people thought the G*+ wouldn't let anything on the market that wasn't wholesome. They didn't know that the last honest# incorruptible head of the G*+ B *r. ,arvey :ylie B had died two decades earlier. ,e had written a book titled The Crime Against The Food Law# which documented the intense subterfuge used by big business to get around healthy food laws in order to ma'imi4e profits. ,is story is well worth reading. In short# like most whistle blowers# he was hounded and drummed out of office and his book disappeared from libraries around the country. $any years ago# through an intensive book search I finally got hold of a copy. ,owever# the Library of Eongress doesn't have one1 There was one problem with margarine that turned people off5 It was pure white like Erisco and it looked like a'le grease. :hat to do3 The gurus of advertising psychology came up with a solution. +t the time# the law prohibited manufacturers from coloring margarine yellow to look like butter# but there was no law against including a capsule of yellow dye in the margarine packet that you could break open yourself and massage into the margarine to look the color of butter. To my ama4ement# in spite of all the bad publicity about inorganic fats# people are still consuming this non.food.

already didn't know# this is not cheese# folks. It's akin to margarine# a manufactured product made of vegetable oil# modified milk solids# flavorings# colors# stabili4ers# seaweed e'tracts and other chemicals that allow it it to melt and do a reasonable imitation of cheese. This stuff probably

The guy on the right is artist +ndy :arhol who made a lot of money by memoriali4ing many of the icons we live with and ne't to every day. That's his picture of a can of Eampbell's Tomato 0oup. :e've seen plenty of pictures of trees and mountains and flowers in vases# but what about that sofa you're sitting on# the garbage can or that can of soup you take for granted3 0omebody had to design it and it's part of our landscape. :hy not a portrait of something we all love. I suppose Eampbell's 0oup isn't the worst thing you could have for dinner# although it is laced with lots of salt. The trouble is# most canned foods are made <en masse= with tons of powders# inorganic minerals and vitamins# preservatives# processed fats and chemicals coming out of metal or plastic drums. + young teenager I know watched a video on how Ehicken $cNuggets are made# after which he vowed never to let another one of those things pass his lips. +ny time food is manufactured in -uantity# scooped out of vats with a back hoe# slurried down slews# and cooked in vast steam pots# it's bound to be of e'tremely low -uality. 0o# do hang a picture of a Eampbell's 0oup can on your wall# but make your own soup.

I wouldn't be without my coarse medley of dried onion# garlic# basil# thyme# rosemary# various curry mi'es.

If you prefer adding meat# pre.boil a half a cup of diced chicken or shrimp or beef in some water to create a broth and add this later. +dd a handful of rice# or add some spaghetti noodles or rice noodle toward the end of the process. I add several tablespoons of olive oil# sometimes butter. *on't be afraid of good fats. 2our body and brain need it. 0ometimes I'll beat an egg and dri44le it in for my own version of <egg drop= soup.

!eal "agels#

I took a photography class at Gresno Eity Eollege years ago. :e had been given an assignment by the teacher# which was to go out into the surrounding community and take some interesting shots.

+fter a couple days of fruitless e'ploring and having taken some non.descript photos# I walked into the school cafeteria where the prof and his class were casually nibbling and chatting. +s I walked up to the long table# I was ready to share my e'periences and consternation# the prof searchingly studied my e'pression. Then he said# gesturing like a conductor with a baton5 <Elass . . altogether now.= +nd in perfect unison they all recited5 <2ou Ean't Take + ?ood 9icture In Gresno.= I was aghast. That was years ago. $aybe you can take a good photo now. (ut one thing's certain5 2ou can't get a good bagel in Gresno . . .or practically anywhere else. I'll e'plain. Gor all of you who are not wheat intolerant and can en@oy a good loaf of Italian or Grench bread without e'periencing a painful challenge to your @oints# or bowel or anything else# I bow to you. I can't do that. That said# however# the one item that probably sustained me as a child and teenager B considering my mostly perverse eating habits at the time . was Italian.style bread. The New Jersey town I lived in was mostly ItalianI the bakeries smelled heavenlyI the pastry shops were like *isneyland# loaded with elaborate tasty delights you couldn't get anywhere else. The pi44a <parlors= were uni-ue. The spaghetti was great# the sauces like home made# the eggplant 9armesan to die for# the fresh steamed mussels smothered in tomato sauce. . . Gantastic1 ,owever# even if the food was still that good in New Jersey# I wouldn't be eating it the way I used to. (ut I doubt that it is# because the wheat is different now. It really is.

They$ve "een Messing With O%r Wheat& & & It$s Not What It Was Even '( )ears Ago
The smiling lady on the right is my grandma# 8osa %rlando. 0he and my grandfather left Italy on a steamship# arriving at Fllis Island# New 2ork in 1 1A. This energetic woman abounded with love for her ten children as well as for the grandchildren who came along. %f course# in rural 9ennsylvania of the time there was never any time for being bored# hemming and hawing about anything# or worrying about the imponderables in life. 2ou @ust had to bound out of bed on those cold mornings and be ready to face the day . $y grandpa off to his @ob at the slate -uarryI grandma canning produce for the winter# Time O%t baking bread# washing and ironing# making and mending clothing# # /er) elderl) couple building and tending a fire and managing babies. is sitti,g i, their (ack to the bread and wheat issue. I loved pi44a as a kid# but especially parlor -atchi,g pi44a the way my grandmother made it. 0he was skilled. :hen she made tele/isio,. 2he old it you were confident that it would come out right. +nd she was her own ge,tle%a, so'tl) worst critic. If it wasn't right she wasn't above admitting it. ,udges his -i'e a,d The pi44a was usually rather thick# often baked in a rectangular pan# sa)s: .&o,e), let;s topped with olive oil# a modest amount of cheese Cnot piled on like )ou a,d %e go todayD# onions and home.made tomato sauce. It was @ust fantastic. Fvery upstairs a,d %a3e pi44a since has been a disappointment. %h# there are flashier ones# pi44as lo/e.0 slathered with all kinds of toppings# but all that doesn't make up for the certain lost -uality. I admit to being partial to my grandma's pi44a for She a,s-ers: .Oh, sentimental reasons# but I'm convinced it was definitely a better product. Dear, 1 do,;t thi,3 1 Now *r. *avid :illiams# a cardiologist# wrote a book called Wheat Belly ca, do $oth.0

C+s opposed to (eer (elly# I guessD which throws some light on the sub@ect. It turns out that wheat has been cross bred over the decades to yield more grain per acre and to be drought resistant. +lso the new wheat is loaded with a substance called gliadin, which is an opiate, which binds into the opiate receptors in the brain# stimulating more appetite# causing people to consume roughly ;;" more calories per day# every day of the year. 0o# you see# the pi44a my grandma made is nothing like what you get today. Gor some people it's positively to'ic. Not only does modern wheat make you crave more of the stuff# it's crippling as well. 9eople with arthritis have e'perienced dramatic relief getting off wheat. Leg swelling# acid reflu'# irritable bowel syndrome# depression# and a bunch of other things go away. It's too bad# but wheat can no longer be called the staff of life.

So <hat;s # Bagel9
+ bagel is basically a soft pret4el. Fven the soft pret4els you get today are not pret4els. I think they stopped making them about 1A years ago. Now they're @ust twists of bread sprinkled with coarse salt. :hen making bagels# after the first kneading and rising and shaping into rings# they must rise again# then gently boiled in salted water. &ery often today they are @ust sprayed with a shot of steam# which is totally inade-uate. +fter the boiling# the bagel is painted with a thin layer of egg and then baked further until golden. I will admit that some places still attempt to mimic the process# but the results are far from satisfactory. +lso# people have grown used to present.day imitations of bagels# which are bread.like. + bagel is supposed to be chewy# like a soft pret4el# and who has time to chew anymore3 Gurthermore# you can't make a sandwich using a real bagel . the hole in it is too big. I can't picture Jewish people putting up with this fraud. They must be getting their bagels through connections in the underground or the EI+. I understand that a few farmers are attempting to raise old fashioned wheat# and it may soon be available. I hope so. %f course# the way things go# if you want the good stuff# a loaf of bread will soon sell for the cost of a pair of running shoes.
