Olive Oil Health Benefits Part 1
Quite a few medically advanced countries have banned the use of soy in infant formulas, not only because of the phytic acid content, which causes mineral deficiencies, Meridian Health Protocol Review but also due to the high levels of trypsin inhibitors and soy phyto-estrogens. The trypsin inhibitors interfere with the digestion of protein, resulting in stunted growth while the phytoestrogens from soy, touted by the soy producers as beneficial for menopausal women, which they are, but also have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in younger women. And, just as serious, consumption by infants has been linked to auto-immune thyroid disease.
It's amazing how fake science can put a positive spin on an anti-nutrient for the financial gain of a few, which causes massive problems for the many! We need to question any and all information handed out by the food producers and get back to basics in our daily diet. From the Caribbean Arawak language Columbus took the word marise which means "source of life", modified it to mahiz which eventually became maize. But the question remains: Is corn the 'staff of life' or not?
In modern terms it's certainly a versatile crop that grows rapidly and provides a bountiful harvest. The United States has such an abundance of corn that with government subsidies, food and chemical processors can buy it more cheaply than it costs to produce. It can then be used as a food for Man and his animals, but can be converted into a sweetener, fuel, dyes, soap, plastic, starch and insulation. However, corn is a man-made crop and uncared for cannot survive in Nature. Because it's such a fragile plant and in its original form lacked many nutritional qualities it's been genetically engineered over the past 100 years so as to make it hardier and more nutritious.
Maize has been a staple food in many countries, but due to its deficiency in protein and calcium, those populations are generally shorter in stature than people whose diet is higher in protein. It does contain a fairly good mixture of vitamins but the method of processing and cooking determines whether or not those nutrients become available. The traditional way of making tortillas, by soaking the grain in lime before grinding it into flour, releases the valuable nutrient, niacin, essential for the prevention of the itching skin-disease, pellagra. Any other method of processing makes the niacin unavailable and early in the 20th Century, hundreds of thousands of people in America's Southern States, who lived almost exclusively on poorly processed corn, died of pellagra, many of them in mental institutions.
