This guide is intended help encourage people develop healthy habits so as to avoid chronic disease and experience overall well being.

Avoid for better health:

• Pork and Shellfish – Bible, Lev. 11:4-44
• Animal fat and blood – Bible, Lev. 3:17
• Wheat flour that is NOT 100% whole grain (read the ingredients, must say “Whole”) – without the bran and germ, wheat flour is treated like sugar by the body.
• Prescription drugs – 106,000 deaths a year (non-error, negative effects of drugs)[5]
• Synthetic Pesticides (sprayed on non-organic produce) – It is estimated that between 4,000 and 20,000 cases of cancer are caused per year by pesticide residues in food in allowable amounts.[6]
• Refined sugars and artificial sweeteners (sugar, high fructose corn syrup, Splenda, NutraSweet, aspartame, etc.)[4]
• Hydrogenated oils (aka trans fats) – artery-clogging fat that is formed when vegetable oils are hardened into margarine or shortening.[4]
• Freshwater fish – highly contaminated[3]
• MSG (monosodium glutamate) – MSG is used as a flavor enhancer and is an excitotoxin. Excitotoxicity may be involved in stroke, traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system.[7]

Add for better health:

• Fruits and Vegetables (carrots, broccoli, kale, peas, Swiss chard, tomatoes, asparagus, spinach, etc.)
• Sprouted grains (Ezekiel bread)
• Raw nuts and seeds (flax seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, etc.)
• Fish-sourced omega-3 fatty acids
• Beans & Legumes (black beans, kidney beans, lentils, pinto beans, etc.)
• Water – Drink at least 2-3 liters a day.
• Stress-relieving activities (massages, hot baths, laughing, pedicures, exercise, etc.)
• Healthy saturated fats, not hydrogenated (Coconut oil, real butter,  palm oil, etc.)
• Healthier sweeteners (raw honey, evaporated cane juice, raw sugar, blackstrap molasses, stevia) – to be eaten in moderation.

What foods should you only eat if they are organic?

• Peaches – high in pesticides[2]
• Apples – high in pesticides[2]
• Sweet Bell Peppers – high in pesticides[2]
• Celery – high in pesticides[2]
• Nectarines – high in pesticides[2]
• Strawberries – high in pesticides[2]
• Cherries – high in pesticides[2]
• Pears – high in pesticides[2]
• Grapes (imported) – high in pesticides[2]
• Spinach – high in pesticides[2]
• Lettuce – high in pesticides[2]
• Potatoes – high in pesticides[2]
• Chocolate – highly contaminated[3]
• Soy – often genetically modified
• Corn – often genetically modified[1]
• Peanuts - highly contaminated[3]
• Beef and Dairy (Ideally should be grass fed as well) – cows are administered hormones and antibiotics. Highly contaminated[3]

Codex Alimentarius (Latin for “food code”) is a trade organization, not a consumer health organization.

International delegates established committees which have met annually to set guidelines on all foods, agriculture, and nutritional supplements since 1963. Virtually anything that can be put in the human mouth has come under the scope of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC).

Even though the U. S. Senate never ratified our membership in the WTO, we have, through default, become a participant. Codex Alimentarius standards can now be imposed upon the 136 current WTO member nations through the use of severe trade sanctions for countries that fail to comply with CAC regulations.

If Codex gets its way the following events will ultimately occur:

• Consumers will have available to them only 28 or so dietary supplements that are far too small in dosage to have any discernible impact on any human being. High potency nutrients will not be available either with or without a physician’s prescription, since these life-sustaining molecules will be forbidden under any circumstances.
• All animals grown for human consumption will be mandated for treatment with antibiotics, growth enhancers, and hormones.
• All food available to the public will be irradiated, with the exception of locally grown food.
• Herbs will not be available unless they undergo multi-million dollar scientific trials similar to those used for drugs.
• All native seeds will be confiscated and the use of genetically modified (GMO) seeds will be mandated.
• The “acceptable” limits of toxins in the food supply will be increased, including the allowance of seven specific toxins that were previously banned by Stockholm Convention, a global treaty signed by 120 nations to protect human health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants.

Influential trade organizations, particularly in the natural food and supplements industry, have remained silent under the belief that the Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act (DSHEA), enacted in 1994, which keeps nutrients from being classified as drugs and allows no upper limit on dosage of nutrients, will keep Codex regulations away from our kitchen tables and personal freedoms. If intact, DSHEA would protect Americans from Codex’s standards for nutritional supplements, but it would not protect us from any of Codex’s other severe standards. Several hills have been introduced into the United States Congress to weaken or undermine the protection of DSHEA and more will very likely be introduced. Should that happen, the United States would immediately fall under the standards of Codex. “Harmonization” (meaning mandatory global compliance) with Codex guidelines in WTO participating countries, including the USA, is slated for December 31, 2009 (I have been told that they are behind schedule so we may have more time), after which sanctions may be applied to non-harmonized countries.

If you watch the news you will see that in hard times people will buy SPAM.  Please don’t do this.  SPAM is bad for you.

Almonds on the other hand provide quality nutrition and actually costs less per calorie:

Your body needs a certain amount of calories per day so it make sence to compare how much you are paying for the calories you eat as well as the source from which you get them.  So if you are going to buy food that is bad for you please don’t use the excuse that you can’t afford to eat healthy.

Here are some foods cheaper and healthier than SPAM (all from Trader Joe’s):

• Brown Rice
• Raw Sunflower Seeds
• Organic Peanut Butter
