Recipes

Read old recipe books for the fun and savings of making
your own nutritious food. Change the recipes to avoid proc-
essed and malonic acid-containing ingredients.
Note: the latest products to fall victim to benzene pollution
are cornstarch and baking soda. You can still use these if they
are pure (see Sources). Besides this, the new practice of spray-
ing fruits and vegetables with petroleum products to keep them
fresh looking has polluted them with benzene. Produce treated
this way has an extra glossy appearance and may even be
slightly sticky. Carefully avoid such produce. It does not wash
off. Peeling is necessary.

Ask your grocer if the produce they carry has been sprayed for

“freshness”; ask the health food store owner, too.
