Malnourished!...Even After Eating a Full Plate. Shocking! by Warren Matthews

of this data in the US has been limited to a few alternative

health journals.

Tim Lang a professor at the centre for Food Policy in England

says as a further example of how our food has been degraded is

that you would now have to eat eight oranges today to get the

same amount of Vitamin A that your grandparents got from eating

just one orange.

Do foods that have low nutritional values play a part in obesity?

Absolutely! I believe this is a major factor in the current

epidemic of obesity. If you are lacking in essential nutrients

it will have a serious flow-on effect in your body. First of all

you will never really feel ‘well', you will lack energy which

means you exercise less, and you will have a tendency to seek out

‘comfort' foods which generally contain sugars and thus the cycle

continues and it gets worse and worse and ultimately ends up in

obesity and ill health.

What can be done about this problem?

* Try to eat organic fruit and vegetables wherever possible.

* Avoid processed foods! If you think the loss of nutrient

value in fresh fruit and vegetables is bad enough, I can

assure you that it is nothing compared to the nutritional

emptiness of processed foods... and to add insult to injury

they are full of transfats due to the hydrogenated processing

methods that are used.

* Take a QUALITY multi NUTRIENT supplement. A multi

vitamin/mineral tablet is not adequate for a number of

reasons. The prime one is that most ‘multi vitamin'

supplements use synthetic ingredients with both questionable

efficacy and bio-availability and they lack other important

nutrients. Unfortunately this is an area in which many

consumers are being mislead. It's a complex subject and as

such I may devote a newsletter to this very important subject

in the not to distant future.

It was interesting to see that even some mainstream physicians

are beginning to recognize this problem as evidenced by a recent

article in JAMA which advocated people take quality supplements

for preventative measures.
