• Oranges: Eat the fruit, don`t drink the juice. Fruit juice in cartons has had all the fibre squeezed out of it, making its sugars more dangerous.
• Beef: Beef from grass-fed cattle as in Argentina is fine, but not from corn-fed cattle as in the US.
• Sugar, not fat, to blame for obesity. Sugar, not fat, exposed as deadly villain in obesity epidemic. It`s addictive and toxic, like a drug, and we need to wean ourselves off it, says US doctor. Always try non-refined, brown sugar.
• Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other sweetened beverages. These deliver sugar but with no nutritional added value. Water and milk are the best drinks, especially for children. Do not drink anything contains aspartame (an artificial sweetener produced from aspartic acid). It is dangerous for human and can cause cancer and this product is used, with other ingredients, to kill rats.
• Bread: Watch out for added sugar in foods where you would not expect it.
• Alcohol: Just like sugar, it pushes up the body`s insulin levels, which tells the liver to store energy in fat cells. Alcohol is a recognised cause of fatty liver disease.
• Home-baked cookies and cakes: If you must eat those, bake those yourself with one third less sugar than the recipe says. These even taste better that way.
• Anything white or refined (salt, sugar, white rice & bread, etc) is bad for your health. Try brown, wholemeal for everything. If possible, avoid use of vegetable oil.
• If possible, do not use micro wave oven at all. It heats up the liquid in the food, and the heated liquid heats the rest. It doesn`t cook. Try this: water on two similar plants everyday for weeks. For one, use normal water and for other, use micro waved water (after cooling). The latter will die. This can happen to yourself.
• Salad: Salad in packet, labelled as `ready-to-eat` is more dangerous than beef-burgers, following a spate of Cryptosporidium infections linked to the product. Certain types of bacteria found in the pre-cut salad bags can be almost impossible to kill, unless the leaves are irradiated - a process the public would oppose. `These bugs are very good at clinging on to salad and the risk from cryptosporidium, salmonella and listeria is very real. `I would advise people to thoroughly wash salad even when it says it has been washed and is ready to eat.`
• Avoid foods, oils in plastic bottles, jars. Try glass bottles, jars etc.
• If possible, try organic foods only.
