When Food Is Not Real Food by Dr. Mark Sircus,AC., OMD, DM (P)
Today, over 73 percent of the U.S. food supply is ultra-processed. While both natural and ultra-processed foods are referred to as “food,” there is a world of difference between them. Real food supports life, but ultra-processed food destroys it. Ultra-processed foods are poisonous to life. Why? Because they are full of poisons and unlimited food additives, and some of the best nutrients are stripped out of processing. We see this in all white foods.
White foods cause degenerative diseases through the creation of nutritional deficiency. Harvard University recognizes this saying that people who regularly eat whole grains develop cancer less often than those who don’t. A 1998 overview of 40 studies that looked at 20 types of cancer linked consumption of whole grains with reduced risks of stomach, colon, mouth, gallbladder, and ovarian cancers.
Health researchers decades ago found a troubling link between higher consumption of white rice and type 2 diabetes. “What we’ve found is white rice is likely to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes,” said Dr. Qi Sun of the Harvard School of Public Health.

In the studies in China and Japan, those who ate the most rice were 55% more likely to develop the disease than those who ate the least. White rice is the dominant form of rice eaten in the world. Machines produce its polished look by hulling and milling, leaving a grain predominantly starch with very little nutrition at its best. Not everyone is so radical about the differences between brown and white rice.
Singapore became the latest country to authorize insect products
for human consumption, in what The Guardian described as
a move that “paves the way for plates to become wrigglier,
leggier and more sustainable” and as “a sign of things to come.”
White rice, white sugar, white bread, and white pasta are white because they are stripped of their mineral, vitamin, and fiber content. When rice is made, it goes through various processes, including going through a husker to remove the grain husks. Once that process is done, the rice will still be slightly brown. However, more steps are needed to make white rice: the inner husk (or bran) is removed, and the grain is polished. The dietary fiber of white rice is a quarter of what is in brown rice.
White foods are bad for us because they cause magnesium deficiency, one of the principal nutrients lost in processing. It is this magnesium deficiency that is driving up the incidence of diabetes and all other chronic diseases, including cancer.
Choosing refined grains such as white bread, rolls, sugary low-fiber cereal, white rice, or white pasta over whole grains can boost your heart attack risk by up to 30 percent. At least seven major studies show that women and men who eat more whole grains (including dark bread, whole-grain breakfast cereals, popcorn, cooked oatmeal, brown rice, bran, and other grains like bulgur or kasha) have 20 to 30 percent less heart disease. In contrast, those who opt for refined grains have more heart attacks, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure.
Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, has been experimenting with creating dairy-free alternatives to ice-cream, cheese, and milk by utilizing a thermochemical process that allows it to build fat molecules, creating chains of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and
oxygen. The company has now announced a new animal-free butter alternative.
Almost everything has sugar in it. It is the cheapest preservative the food industry uses to increase the shelf life of processed foods. This highly refined substance is devoid of any of the essential elements necessary for its efficient metabolism. To compensate for this, the body borrows vitamins and minerals like magnesium from the reserves in the tissues. This weakens the nervous system, causing hyperactivity in children and more severe disease problems in adults.
A diet filled with refined sugars is one cause of behavior problems, mood swings, and attention deficits in young children. Sugar is, by far, the greatest addiction in the United States. It is far more excessive than all other forms of substance abuse. Consider that in 1895, the average American consumed 3 to 4 pounds of sugar yearly. Today, the average American consumes their body weight in sugar every year. The pancreas must metabolize this highly refined “rocket fuel” rapidly. The pancreas must produce insulin, the hormone responsible for converting blood glucose into the stored form of glycogen and, eventually triglycerides.
Chemical treatments are used in the process of making mass-produced flour that results in the formation of alloxan. Alloxan, or C4 H2O4N2, is a product of the decomposition of uric acid. According to Dr. Hari Sharma’s Freedom from Disease, alloxan causes free radical damage to DNA in the beta cells of the pancreas, causing them to malfunction and die.
Scientists have long known that alloxan produces selective destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, causing hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis in laboratory animals. Alloxan is structurally similar to glucose, which might explain why the pancreatic beta cells selectively take it up. Alloxan is a poison that is used to produce diabetes in healthy experimental animals so that researchers can then study diabetes “treatments” in the lab.
Pure sea salts contain as many as 92 essential minerals; however, refined common table salts contain only two elements: sodium and chloride. Whole sea salts have crucial minerals such as potassium and magnesium that remain intact. Ordinary table salt, unfortunately, contains aluminum used as an anti-caking agent.
Sodium is crucial for maintaining the health of the human system. It permeates the fluid between cells. Besides being a component of extracellular fluid that bathes every living cell, sodium is vital in our blood and lymphatic fluid. It is also necessary for the production of hydrochloric acid. Unrefined salt does not cause high blood pressure, whereas regular refined salt does.
None of this is Nutritional
Beyond conventional additives such as preservatives, colors, and flavorings, many new additives are emerging. Stabilizers, emulsifiers, firming agents, leavening agents, anti-caking agents, humectants, and more have been invented to modify and improve the taste and texture of food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists at least 3,972 substances added to food.
What is Nutrition?
A nutrient is a substance that is needed by the body to maintain life and health.
Nutrition is the process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth.
How do you get the right Nutrition?
What is functional nutrition? Functional nutrition is the use of food to improve, prevent or reverse health conditions. Research shows that making dietary changes can have a powerful, positive impact on your health, including reducing the risk of chronic health conditions.
Gut issues, mitochondrial degradation, impaired metabolism, inflammation, and insulin resistance can be positively affected through nutrition.
There’s a lot of false information out there about nutrition. Find out the true, science-based facts that will allow you to take control of your metabolic health.
What is metabolism?
Metabolism is a generic word for EVERY chemical process in your body from energy production to cellular reproduction and fighting off disease. Thus, improving metabolism is a health goal.
Too many people are eating in a way that will result in significant health issues. You can find out if you are eating for your health or creating chronic health problems:
By learning, knowing and applying basic, true nutritional data, you can achieve thriving health.
The Eat Well Nutrition Program gives you that data and it’s not complicated. You work out your Food Score and then can see your progress on a graph.
When I started the Nutrition Program my Food Health Score was horrible – like about -60! As I went through the sessions and implemented the principles, my score gradually started to rise. By the end of the program my Food Health Score had risen dramatically. Getting that Food Health Score out of an embarrassing range up to a level that I could be proud of was what motivated me week to week, and I felt great doing it!
Want to ensure you stay healthy and active? Maybe you and your family are generally healthy, but you want to achieve a higher level of health and vitality?
Whatever your health goals, you are in the right place. You can use nutrition to achieve thriving health.
What are the States of Health?
Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, said ‘let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food’. This is true.
What you eat and drink every day really does make a difference to how you feel, how long you will live, and your quality of life.
Are you confused by the contradictory information about food and nutrition?
Don’t believe everything you read, or everything you are told by well-meaning friends and family, about nutrition. The field of nutrition has become confused and filled with false information.
While people are trying to do the right thing for themselves and their family, you don’t have to look further than the obesity epidemic and the continuing rise in chronic illness in our society to see that something is not quite right. As of now, life expectancy in the US is falling, so your children are likely to live a shorter life than you.
Too many families in the US are eating in a way that will result in significant health issues which they are experiencing right now or will experience in the future – chronic poor health due to degenerative illness, pain, and a shorter life.
If this rings true for you, then you need to know this …
You can dramatically improve your health, and the health of your family, by knowing and applying basic, true, nutritional data, and it’s not complicated. Find out the nutritional, dietary and lifestyle changes that will help you achieve thriving health.

Nerve Health – What does the Body needs to Create Healthy Nerve Function and Conductivity
What is a healthy nerve?
A healthy nerve is like a good telephone line, a communication is sent across it quickly and accurately. It arrives at its destination (the muscles, etc.) without short-circuiting. It sends the message to the proper destination that was intended.
The body will build healthy nerves (just like any other cell) if it is given the correct tools to do so. The correct tools are the specific nutrition (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, etc) needed to give optimum functioning to the cell and enable it to create its normal cell processes – providing nerve function, creating energy and restoring health.
What are the nerves nutritional factors? *
It is important to not do anything that will use up a lot of B vitamins which is very important to nerve function.
B1
B2
B6
B9 (folate)
B12
D3
Unfortunately, the oral intake of vitamin B1 does not greatly increase the levels of B1 in the bloodstream.
The reason for this is that Thiamine, like all of the B vitamins, is water-soluble. Thiamine cannot be stored in the body and flushes out within 4 to 5 hours.
Nerves need sufficient amounts of B12 in the body. Vitamin B12 supports the sheathing that protects nerve cells and has shown in studies to promote the regeneration and growth of nerve cells.
In the past, it has been difficult to remedy the B12 deficiency. The reason for this is that while vitamin B12 is readily stored by the body, it is not readily absorbed by the body. For this reason much larger amounts have been used in supplementation, but even large oral dosages have not been an adequate solution.
Keep reading. There is a solution.
A Remedy for this Problem:
Get Your Quality of Life Back
You might have heard of the new type of vitamin B1 being produced, called Benfotiamine. It is a fat-soluble version of vitamin B1. What does this mean? It means this new form of vitamin B1 can be taken orally in large dosages and it will not flush out of the body the way ordinary Thiamine (vitamin B1) does. This is due to the fact that this type of B1 will be delivered into the bloodstream where it can travel to the cells and be used.
Also available is Methylcobalamine (called Methyl B12). This is the form of vitamin B12 that can be directly utilized by the body. When regular B12 is taken, the body has to convert it into the Methyl B12 in the gut. Methyl B12 already comes in this useable form.
Where can I find these supplements?
RECOMMENDED: (This is where we have researched products and found one that we found will work for you.)
The vitamins talked about above are available together. The name of the product is Nerve Support with Benfotiamine – A Formula by Dr. Eric Berg
It contains both the Benfotiamine and Methyl B12. The result is that the bloodstream levels of vitamin B1 and vitamin B12 can be greatly increased, providing the nutritional support needed by the body to rapidly and far more effectively build healthy nerves.
Both Benfotiamine and Methyl B12 have been shown to be non-toxic and without any side effects even in very high dosages.
Additionally, the formula has three other B vitamins and vitamin D3 in the exact proportion that works together to produce the best results. The formula has been found to be exactly what the body needs to repair the nerves.
Why the other B vitamins in the formula?
B1 (thiamin) is dependent on the other B-complex vitamins. Absorption of B1 into the body requires adequate supplies of vitamin B6, B12, and B9 (folate). A deficiency in Vitamins B12 can increase the loss of B1 in the urine, and vitamin B6 also appears to help regulate the distribution of thiamin throughout the body. B9 (folate) is also necessary to activate the absorption of the B12. (Note B9/folate not folic acid – folic acid is the synthesized B9) The body utilizes vitamin B2 to keep tissue healthy and to help accelerate the healing of injuries. B2 protects the nervous system.
In addition, the formula has Vitamin D. One of the functions of Vitamin D is the regulation of nervous system development and function.
It also has magnesium and alpha lipoic acid.
Support for Your Success:
The formula can support the body’s ability to restore nerve health by addressing the root of the problem at a cellular level and nourishing the nerves.
The cost also includes any help you might need as we want you to get the best possible results.
The Nerve Support with Benfotiamine has no known side effects or interactions with any medications.
Made in the USA. Gluten-free.
