Introduction

One of the greatest threats to the human race is the all-pervasive, ongoing, deliberate manipulation of our food supply—from the farm to the shelf, and at every step in-between. Without a doubt, the contamination of our food with synthetic chemicals (e.g., pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, preservatives, food dyes, stabilizers, artificial flavorings, fake vitamins, growth hormones, tranquilizers, antibiotics, etc., etc., ad nauseam) combined with production techniques that utterly decimate the intrinsic nutritional value of raw food (e.g., genetic engineering, irradiation, high-temperature processing, hydrogenation, etc.), is the primary root cause of degenerative disease in America and abroad.*

Our bodies are not designed to operate on nutritionally stripped, chemically laden food day in and day out. Daily intake of micro doses of toxins over the course of years or decades, and deprivation of optimum nutrition—which is contrary to what nature intends—will certainly cause a degenerative disease to set in sooner or later.

To be free of degenerative disease, then, means we must abstain, as often as possible, from eating synthetic (man-derived) food. In this chapter I give an in-depth explanation of how most of our food is being deliberately compromised. For optimum health, avoid these foods, and instead embrace the foods I discuss in Chapter 3.

*Health and beauty aids are also loaded with synthetic chemicals, and most cleaning products use highly toxic chemicals, all of which can contribute to the decline of health. These products are harmful to the environment as well.
