Due
to over-farming and food processing, today’s foods are lacking
in essential nutrients. Without these vital nutrients, our bodies don’t
get what they need -- our bodies become "short-circuited."
So what is missing?
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs):
The most important missing nutrients are the Essential Fatty Acids --
“parent” omega 6 and “parent” omega 3. These
“parent” EFAs are vital because every cell in your body
needs them to function properly. EFAs play a direct roll in many of
your body’s biochemical processes -- including incorporation into
each of your 100 trillion cell's membranes!
EFA "derivatives" are made from the parents in much less quantities
than most people realize. That is why fish oil is so harmful. The
proper balance of these “parent” EFA oils is extremely important
to your body’s delicate balance. There is not much real understanding
of this in the world of nutrition or medicine. The fact is an improper
balance can lead to illness, rather than improve how you feel.

Truly-Chelated Minerals
Another vital set of nutrients missing in many of today’s foods
are Minerals. Due to high costs, farmers can't afford to use organic
fertilizers as Nature intended. Along with over-farming of the same
land time-and-time again, the soil, and therefore our food, is lacking
in sufficient quantities of essential minerals. Be wary of so-called
"fortified" foods that contain added minerals. The minerals
may be "in there" but there are no guidelines requiring food
manufacturers to use a bio available (usable) form.
The bottom line: Even though the mineral is added to
the product, very little of it may actually get used by the body. The
proper form that a mineral needs to be in is one that the body recognizes,
and is termed "truly-chelated." This term means that
a protein is bonded to the mineral – they become one – the
way minerals are in protein foods like meat, chicken, and fish. The
cell "welcomes" the protein, and along with it, the mineral.
Scientifically, you need to know that the popular colloidal minerals
are too big to enter the cell. Just because it is "suspended" in
liquid (the definition of a colloid), doesn't mean it can be utilized
at the cellular level.
Protein
Another vital nutrient that we’re told to keep to a minimum is
first-class animal-based protein. We’re (mis)led into believing
that a serving of tofu is better for us than a steak. This is COMPLETELY
and scientifically WRONG! No matter what you have been told, soy
is food for a farm animal, like a pig. There is so little (50%
at best) bio-available protein in tofu that you’d have to eat
four-times the normal amount of tofu to get what an average size steak
will give you.
Natural fats
Natural dietary fats like the fat on meats, cheese, butter and cream
are not thought of as nutritious by popular opinion, but rather they
are labeled"bad" by most “professionals”
in the medical and nutritional fields. Fortunately, the understanding
of these natural fats is slowly changing for the better. It has
taken too long and millions of Americans have been harmed following
the "expert's" incorrect advice. For the past 50 years
or so, all dietary fats were lumped in together and given the “bad
for you” label. Now finally the term “good fats” is
beginning to circulate on the news and with nutritionists and doctors
who keep up with current trends. There is still a real misunderstanding
of saturated fats, but at least it’s becoming common knowledge
that trans-fats are the real deadly fats and should be avoided as much
as possible. Bottom line, natural dietary fats are nutrients that your
body needs. I've published the truth over 8 years ago, but the deception
continues. You need to know this.
Vitamins
What about vitamins you ask? Vitamins aren’t missing from our
foods the way minerals and EFAs are. Another important fact is that
vitamins are still available in foods AND protein and natural
fats contain plenty of them. Meat has plenty of vitamin C, but you aren't
told of this fact. Bottom line is that when eating properly by making
protein the foundation of your diet, rather than vegetables and grains,
you get all the vitamins you need. It is not necessary to take a vitamin
supplement, especially when following a low-carb lifestyle. Remember
also that there is no guarantee how bio-available (usable by your body)
most vitamins are. A lot of vitamin pills simply pass right through
you, giving you no benefit at all. If you are eating a sufficient amount
of animal-based protein, you are getting plenty of vitamins and don't
need to take vitamin supplements. Also, animal-based protein provides
you with all the iron you need, so taking additional iron is not necessary
when eating properly.
