19The World is Our Human Classroom
As we travel the world, we study the eating habits of
the people. Let us take the Eskimo who lives in the frigid
Arctic on a diet of mostly animal and fish flesh and their
blood. Their environment provides no other recourse
but to rely on these foods. Results – they age prematurely
and have a short life span. They are lucky if they reach
40! They suffer from stiff joints and arthritis, bad livers
and bad kidneys as well as many skin and other diseases.
Now, as we move down from the Arctic Circle into
the countries like Lapland, Finland and the Northern
European countries, we find people using lots of meat,
fish, eggs and bread. We get a crystal-clear picture of
what these foods do to these people. We see premature
ageing in these countries, we see the loss of sight, hearing
and the general deterioration of the body by the time
people have reached 50. Many suffer from gum disease
causing them to lose their teeth. Many have suffered
their whole life with some nagging ailment, such as
bronchitis, asthma, skin problems and other diseases.
Continue down into the tropics and you will find
people who don’t know how to eat the natural, Garden
of Eden way! They eat lots of pork, fowl, eggs, sugars,
sugared drinks and white rice. Although they live in the
tropics, they lost the natural instinct of healthy living.
As countries world wide watch U.S. TV they eat like
Americans and have more disease, cancer, obesity, etc.
People in the world’s industrialized countries eat lots
of fresh meat and also all kinds of smoked, salted and
preserved meats. Today people worldwide eat many
products made with refined white sugar and now the toxic
sugar substitute – aspartame (page 120 ; diet colas and soft
drinks, candy, desserts, pastries, etc.), refined white flour
(breads, doughnuts, pizza, etc.), white rice and processed
cheeses, etc. There are over 2 , 800 toxic chemical additives
to color, preserve and stabilize refined, processed foods!
Men do not die, they kill themselves. – Seneca, Roman PhilosopherOur habits, good or bad, are something we can control. – Dr. E. J. Stieglitz
To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals. – Benjamin Franklin
