BODY WISDOM AND WHY BAD FOOD TASTES GOOD
while in the original jar with the lid removed. Keep refrigerated
afterwards.
Artificial maple flavor
did not have benzene, propyl
alcohol or wood alcohol,
nor molds. Turbinado sugar
had none of these
contaminants either. Brown
sugar had sorghum mold.
White sugar had propyl
alcohol pollution. You can
make your own syrup,
safely, with artificial flavor
and turbinado sugar. Of
course, you'll be missing the taste and nutritional minerals pro-
vided by the natural maple product but in a contest between nu-
tritional value and toxicity, always choose the safe product.
The mold in our hot cereals can be spotted. Pick out all dark
colored, shriveled bits. This represents most of it. Add honey,
and salt while it's cooking—this raises the boiling temperature
and detoxifies more. At the end, turn off heat and add a sprinkle
of vitamin C powder. Rolled oats never showed molds in my
testing, although they have their characteristic fungi, too. Don't let
grains mold on your shelves simply from aging. Nothing should
be more than six months old. Remember you can't see or smell
molds when they begin. Molds must have a degree of moisture.
As soon as you open a cereal grain, put the whole box in a
plastic bag to keep moisture out. This keeps out Weevils too, so
you won't have to put the box in the freezer later to kill them.
Anything that is put in the refrigerator or freezer and then
taken out develops moisture inside. Store cereals in kitchen
cupboards or the freezer.
