The “Toxic Poisons” in our Diet - Knowing More about The Long-term Harmful Effect of Refined Foods, Sugars and Salt


Book Description

Table of Contents Introduction Benefits of Proper Amounts of Salt The Substitution and Usage of Rock salt Ancient Thai medicine And Diet Crystallized and Refined Sugars Proper Ancient Thai Good Health Diet Bleached and Refined White Flour Margarine and Hydrogenated Oil Artificial Milk Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was just fixing lunch, listening to a 1954 old-time radio program, starring Dick Powell. Richard Diamond was sponsored by Camel Cigarettes. I was shocked to hear that this radio program was telling about 198 million – yes, I have got the figures right – cigarettes, being sent to Army, Navy, and Air Force hospitals and camps, free of cost. The idea was to get men and women addicted to cigarettes. 138,781 doctors were supposedly asked about the brand of cigarettes they smoked in a cross-country nationwide survey, and they said “Camels.” No wonder the natural good health of a whole nation began deteriorating through deliberate misinformation given out by multibillion-dollar tobacco industries – smoke this mild cigarette for 30 days and you are not going to suffer from any throat irritation. Superstars smoke Camels, including Dick Powell. They of course did not tell you that Dick Powell died of tobacco addiction, tobacco poisoning, and cancer. I am surprised they did not start up a campaign for harmless "smokies" for your babies, keep them well occupied with a cigarette in their mouths… But I think that would have been a bit too much for even a credulous public to swallow, no pun intended. People finally came to their senses in the 80s, and decided to stop smoking. Even though the insidious propaganda and advertisements of this multibillion dollar industry still continues. But then man has always been self-destructive and nobody can teach him otherwise. This book is for all those people, who want to know something about the harmful long-term effects of refined foods, including salt and sugar, and how you can live a healthy life, without these poisons in your diet.
