Serves 4
Total time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
½ cup quinoa
1 cup water
2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 carrot, cut on the diagonal into ¼-inch thick slices
1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup cubed zucchini
2 cups un drained chopped fresh or canned tomatoes
1 cup water or vegetable stock
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of cayenne (or more to taste)
2 teaspoon fresh oregano (OR) 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Grated Cheddar (OR) Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
Instructions:
Rinse quinoa well with cold water. Use a fine mesh filter or coffee filter. If you're a klutz like me use the fine mesh filter or a lot of quinoa is going to wind up in the sink!
Quinoa is coated with a natural substance called saponin that protects the grain by repelling insects and birds. Rinsing the quinoa is important to avoid a raw or bitter taste. You can tell if there is saponin by the production of a soapy looking "suds" when the seeds are swished in water.
Good news! If you are using Ancient Harvest Quinoa you can skip this step. It's already rinsed!
Place rinsed quinoa and water in pot (covered) and cook covered on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes until soft.
While the quinoa is cooking place the onions, garlic and vegetable oil in covered soup pot and saute on medium heat for 5 minutes
And celery and carrots to the soup pot and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring often
Add the bell pepper, zucchini, tomatoes, and one cup water or vegetable stock to soup pot. Stir in cumin, chili powder, coriander, cayenne and oregano to soup pot simmer covered for 10 to 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Stir in cooked quinoa and salt to taste.
Top with grated cheese (and optionally chopped cilantro - See cilantro note below)
Serve immediately.
Optional Ingredient for Peruvian Quinoa Stew (Quinoa Vegetarian Stew)...
Chopped Cilantro.
This is my standard cilantro warning...
Exercise caution on this ingredient. There are two kinds of people - those who love cilantro and those who hate cilantro. Nobody is in between. So, if you know you like cilantro go for it! If you don't know whether you like it add it at your own risk. You might break some leaves off of fresh cilantro in the grocery store. Crush it between your thumb and finger and smell it. If it smells good you're probably a cilantro lover. If it smells like old gym shoes you probably hate it. My advice? Try the quinoa stew without it and see how you like it. Or, since you're adding it at the end as a topping, just try a little and see how it goes.

The World’s Diet Is Dangerously High In Cooked Food
by Reverend George Malkmus
For the past seven weeks, we have been sharing the reasons why the ‘World’s Diet’ is such a dangerous diet.
In this Health Tip we are going to examine another danger found in the World’s Diet, a danger so subtle most would never consider it suspect: cooked food.
The Sun – Both A Sustainer & Destroyer of Life
“The Dangers of Cooked Food” begin in Genesis chapter 1. From this chapter I want to glean a few nuggets that will help lay the groundwork for what will follow.
On the third day of creation, in Genesis 1:9-10, we read how God created the earth. In the following verses, verses 11-13, we read how God created the fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts, the very foods God designed our physical bodies to be nourished with and to thrive upon:
“AND GOD SAID, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb [vegetable] yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb [vegetable] yielding seed after his kind; and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.”
Without a source of light and heat, plant life could not be sustained. So, the very next day, on Day 4, God creates the sun and the moon to provide light and heat to sustain the plant life He had created the day before:
AND GOD SAID, Let there be light in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so, And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:14-17)
Have You Ever Thought About This?
If the earth was in an orbit that was only slightly closer to the sun, or if the earth’s circumference was only slightly greater, the earth would not be able to sustain LIFE. Why? Because the heat from the sun would destroy all plant, animal, and human forms of life.
Conversely, if the earth was in an orbit only slightly further from the sun, or if the earth’s circumference was only slightly less, the earth would not be able to sustain the plant, animal, and human life God had created. Why? Because everything would freeze to death!
Let’s look at a few other verses revealing the awesome wisdom of our God:
“ . . . All things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.”
Colossians 1:16-17
“Nevertheless He left not Himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and the fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
Acts 14:17
Could All This Have Happened By Chance?
How anyone could believe that all this precision happened just by chance, as those who teach and believe in evolution proclaim, is beyond my comprehension.
No my friend, it was God who hung the earth in just the exact place in the universe so that the earth could support plant, animal, and yes human LIFE!
No other planet or star has this precise placement in the universe!
Sadly, man has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on space exploration in an effort to find life on other planets, but without success. Nor will man ever find life on another planet, because the Bible tells us in Genesis 3:20 that Eve is “the mother of all living.”
How High Temperatures Affect Life
Have you ever considered the affect high temperatures have upon the human physical body?
For instance, if a person has a fever of 104 degrees Fahrenheit, do we not become concerned? Of course we do! But what if the temperature goes up to 106 degrees? Do we not at that temperature become extremely concerned? Why?
Because when the internal temperature of the human physical body reaches 107 degrees, brain cells begin to scramble and die, and by the time the internal temperature reaches 108 degrees, the person is usually dead.
High temperatures have a very devastating effect on the very life of the human physical body!
How High Temperatures Affect Our Food
High temperatures also affect the life of the foods we eat.
For instance, at approximately 107 degrees Fahrenheit, the enzymes — which are the life force found in raw fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts — begin to break down, and by 122 degrees that food has become a dead food, devoid of ALL life forms.
Yet, before most of the foods we eat today are consumed, they are heated to high temperatures. For instance, the temperature of boiling water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit; the temperature of steam is also 212 degrees; while the temperature of a slow oven begins at about 225 or 250 degrees.
All packaged, canned, or bottled foods found on the grocery store shelf have been exposed to high heat to destroy the enzymes (life force) so that the food will not spoil.
Pasteurized milk is heated to 160 degrees, while all bottled fruit and vegetable juices receive similar heating. Even frozen vegetables have been blanched in very hot water to destroy any form of life.
Living Bodies Need Living Foods
The physical body we each possess is a living organism, comprised of living cells, designed by God to be nourished with living food. All cooked food is dead food and therefore incapable of properly nourishing living cells.
When we look to nature, every animal in the wild – carnivorous or vegetarian – eats its food raw (in an uncooked form) just as God designed and they thrive. Only man takes living food (which God provides in its raw state in nature) and cooks it. Doing so destroys its life force, and thus its ability to properly nourish the living, human body.
All the foods Adam and Eve consumed in the Garden of Eden were in their raw, uncooked, living form.
How Heat Destroys Life: A Home Experiment
It is not difficult to prove that high heat destroys the life forms found in raw fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. Here is a little experiment you can perform in your own home:
Go to the store and purchase five raw carrots.
At home, cut off about ½ an inch below the stem end, place it in a shallow basin of water, and watch it grow. (And, yes it will grow because its life force has not been destroyed by high heat.)
Next take the remaining four raw carrots and cook each one by a different means: boil one, steam one, bake one, and microwave one.
Take each cooked carrot out of its heat source; cut off ½ inch from the stem end of each; place them in a shallow basin of water and watch them grow(?).
Will they grow? Of course not! Why not?
Because the high temperatures of cooking them have destroyed all enzymes or life force.
Dr. Pottenger’s Research
One of the best known studies regarding the effects of high heat upon foods was a 10-year research project conducted by Dr. Francis M. Pottenger, Jr. His study was published in 1945 in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Oral Surgery.
Dr. Pottenger took 900 cats and fed all the same foods for nine years, the only difference being that he divided the cats into two groups. One group was given their food in its raw and uncooked form, while the other group received cooked form.
The results dramatically revealed the damaging effect cooking has upon food.
The cats that were fed their food raw, in its living form, produced healthy kittens year after year, with no ill health, birthing defects, or premature deaths.
While the cats fed the same food only cooked, developed heart disease, cancer, kidney and thyroid disease, pneumonia, paralysis, loss of teeth, arthritis, birthing difficulties, diminished sexual interest, diarrhea, irritability, liver problems, osteoporosis, and more (the same diseases common in our present day human cooked food culture).
Also, the first generation of kittens fed cooked food was sick and abnormal, the second generation was often born diseased or dead, and by the third generation, the mothers were sterile.
Humans Are Now Experiencing Dr. Pottenger’s Cat Experiment
Sadly, many of the results Dr. Pottenger observed in his cat experiments are being experienced today in our human population.
For instance, with each succeeding generation of cats fed exclusively cooked food, fewer and fewer were able to produce offspring. The Standard American Diet consumed today consists of almost totally cooked foods. Could this be the reason some 40% of young adults cannot conceive?
When I was a child back in the 1930s the only people I remember having arthritis were the elderly who often needed a cane or walking stick to assist them in walking. Today, arthritis is not just an affliction of the elderly, but an ever increasing number of children are being diagnosed with juvenile arthritis.
Diabetes used to be a disease of the elderly and unheard of in children, but today juvenile diabetes is epidemic. When I was a child, cancer was something that only the elderly experienced, but today, after accidents, cancer is the number one cause of death among the youth of our country.
What Is Going On?
Why are our young people experiencing serious degenerative diseases at an ever-earlier age?
And why are an ever increasing number of our young adults unable to produce offspring?
Might the cooking of almost all the foods being consumed today be a major part of the problem?
For a moment, let’s go back to Dr. Pottenger’s experiment with the cats and see what we can learn: The longer the cats were fed a completely cooked food diet, the sooner they experienced physical breakdown.
The Standard American Diet (SAD) being consumed today is predominantly a cooked food diet, and thus lacking the necessary life force and living building materials necessary to produce and maintain vibrant, human life.
This editor contends that one of the primary reasons for human physical breakdown in all ages is the same reason the cats experienced these breakdowns in Dr. Pottenger’s cat experiment – a diet comprised almost totally of cooked food.
Today, the average person in America, as well as those in most countries around the world, is consuming a primarily dead food diet.
The Standard American Diet, loaded with all kinds of chemical additives, fails to provide the physical body with the building materials necessary to sustain a vibrantly alive and healthy physical body.
God Had It Right
God Himself gave Adam and Eve the ideal human diet in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 1:29). Were it not for sin, that diet was intended to properly nourish Adam’s and Eve’s physical bodies and keep them thriving forever. “. . . . lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.” (Genesis 3:22)
Although it is no longer possible to live forever in these physical bodies we possess, we can extend our life on earth in a healthy manner by taking advantage of God’s instructions in Genesis 1:29 — eating a primarily raw, living foods, 100%-plant based diet.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2
Conclusion
I was raised on (and lived the first 42 years of my life on) an almost 100% cooked food diet.
As a result, I suffered all manner of physical breakdown and was told I had colon cancer at age 42.
Cancer was my wake-up call. It caused me to seek an alternative to the traditional cancer treatments that had killed my mom.
In my search for an alternative means of overcoming my cancer, I turned to Evangelist Lester Roloff who encouraged me to consume exclusively the raw plant foods found in God’s Genesis 1:29 diet and to drink a lot of raw, unprocessed carrot juice. That change in diet from a dead food diet to a living foods diet saved my life and totally changed my life.
For the past 36 years, on a predominantly living foods, raw, plant-based diet, my body has thrived. I haven’t had a cold or the flu since making the diet change and now, just two years shy of my 80th birthday, I am only five years from outliving the most senior person in my known ancestral line.
NOTE: When I first made the diet change, I went 100% raw for the first year, but personal experience and the testimonies from hundreds of others who had a problem with 100% raw has caused me to now discourage a 100% raw plant source diet. My diet today, and for the past 35 years, has consisted of approximately 85% raw plant sourced foods and about 15% cooked plant sourced foods. I have learned that, though that original Genesis 1:29 diet was 100% raw, for many reasons most people can stick to a plant-based diet easier when they cook 15% of the food.

The World’s Diet – Dangerously High In Refined Sugar
By Reverend George Malkmus
Over the last several weeks, we have been learning about the shortcomings and dangers of the world’s diet.
In this Health Tip we are going to examine a substance that makes up a high percentage of the world’s diet — and discover why it is so dangerous to your health.
Refined Sugar Is A Dead, Fiberless Poison
Refined sugar is not a food substance at all. It is a dangerous poison that is consumed by almost every man, woman, and child, in large quantities, on a daily basis.
It is a dead (contains no enzymatic activity), fiberless, and good-for-nothing killer that creates monumental problems within the body.
Refined sugar is something God never intended our physical bodies to consume.
The only sugar God designed our physical bodies to ever have to deal with are the natural sugars found in the living (enzymatically alive), raw fruits and vegetables God created for us in the Garden!
Only 100 years ago, the average annual intake of refined sugar was approximately 5 pounds per person per year. Today, the average annual intake of refined sugar is around 172 pounds per person per year.
This means that if a person is consuming the Standard American Diet (SAD), that person is placing into their God-made physical bodies approximately 50 teaspoons of refined sugar, each and every day of their life.
If a person lives to the age of 80, they will have during their lifetime placed into their body some 13,760 pounds of refined sugar.
My friends that means that the average person on the “world’s diet” consumes nearly 7 tons of refined sugar in their lifetime.
That amount, 13,760 pounds, equals 2,752 five-pound bags of refined sugar.
Can you visualize what 2,752 five pound bags of refined sugar looks like when in the grocery store there are usually no more than ten 5-pound bags on the shelf?
Refined Sugar Is A Dead Food
All refined sugars originated as a natural, unrefined sugar in a living plant. As such, natural sugars contain a complete complement of enzymes, nutrients and fiber, just as God intended.
By the time natural sugar reaches its refined sugar stage, all nutrients have been removed, all enzymes destroyed, and all fiber removed.
As such, refined sugar is a very dead and toxic substance.
Let’s look for a moment at the process of taking sugar cane or sugar beet in its nutrient rich, fiber rich, enzymatically alive state as found in the plant, into a refined, fiberless, lifeless, nutrient-devoid product.
The following information was taken from a newsletter written by Charlotte Gerson of the world-famous Gerson Clinic:
“Sugar is a basic element in starchy food; however, processed sugar is a completely different matter. The sugar we purchase in the supermarket for personal consumption is processed sugar. This kind of sugar is heated up in chalk-milk, so that calcium and protein are extracted. After the process, it becomes alkaloid, destroying all vitamin content. In the second phase the sugar is mixed with acid chalk, carbonic gas, sulfur dioxide and finally with natrium bicarbonate. The mixture is cooked and cooled off several times and thereafter crystallized and centrifuged. The dead mass is then treated with strontium hydroxide. Subsequently it arrives at the refinery where it is passed over chalk carbon acid to clean it. Dark coloring is removed by adding sulfuric acid and then it is filtered with bone charcoal. Finally, it is colored with Indathrenblue or the highly toxic Ultramarine. This product’s chemical composition is C12H22O11, which you can buy in shops as ‘pure cane’ sugar.”
Refined Sugar Is Fragmented
Through heating and mechanical and chemical processing, all vitamins, proteins, fats, enzymes and fiber – indeed, every single nutrient is removed until nothing but pure white sugar, pure ‘naked calories,’ pure refined carbohydrate remains.
Sixty-four food elements are destroyed in the processing. Fragmented foods like these set up nutritional imbalances that precipitate health problems galore.
Refined Sugar Is Highly Acidic
Like animal source foods and refined grains, refined sugar is also extremely ‘acid forming.’
In fact, refined sugar is possibly the most acidic substance one can consume. Soft drinks, which usually contain at least 10 teaspoons of refined sugar, have a pH between 2.8 and 3.5, making it the greatest source of acid we can place into our bodies.
In an effort to neutralize all of this acid, the body takes vital alkaline minerals, calcium being the most plentiful, from the body’s bone structure in an effort to neutralize the acidity. The acidity found in all animal source foods and refined grains cause the body to lose calcium as well.
This highly refined acidic sugar intake, along with the consumption of acidic animal and acidic grain source foods, causes the body to remove so much calcium from the bones and teeth that the bones become osteoporotic (porous) and teeth decay.
Refined Sugar Creates Blood Sugar Disorders
One pound of apples contains 263 calories, whereas one pound of candy contains 1800 calories.
Refined sugar is concentrated far beyond what the God-created human body was designed to process at one time, while the body processes the much smaller amount of natural sugar found in apples just fine.
If a body is going to survive, it must find a way to somehow cope with the incredibly high amounts of sugar found in refined sugar. The body learns how to cope with it, but in so doing, often creates two new physical problems – diabetes and hypoglycemia.
Diabetes
The primary cause of diabetes is the fat contained in animal products which coats the cells and hinders the insulin from entering the cell.
But when a diabetic consumes refined sugar, the pancreas has difficulty producing adequate insulin when the blood sugar rises. Concentrated amounts of sugar cause a rapid rise in blood sugar.
Chronic intake of refined sugar eventually exhausts the pancreas as it tries to compensate. Thus the diabetic is condemned to having to take ever-increasing amounts of insulin to compensate.
Diabetes is the #3 killer disease in America, preceded only by cardiovascular related problems and cancer.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is the flip side of diabetes. Hypoglycemia occurs when the body still has a fairly strong pancreas. The body overreacts to concentrated sugar intake and releases too much insulin from the pancreas. Blood sugar levels then plummet far below the normal stable level.
The suffering hypoglycemic often experiences fatigue, headaches; mental depression, and irritability.
Depression is often dealt with by the intake of more refined sugar, and so the hypoglycemic is caught in an endless cycle that causes the pancreas to wear out from constant over stimulation.
This often results in diabetes, because now the sufferer cannot produce sufficient insulin for normal metabolic activities.
Refined Sugar Promotes Emotional Instability
After a “sugarholic” has consumed a box of candy — or bag of cookies, or any large amount of refined sugar — they know how self-abused and depressed they feel.
Indeed, studies reveal a strong link between juvenile and adult criminal offenses and sugar addiction.
Similar research reveals a link between mental illness and sugar abuse. Hypoglycemic reactions, for the very sensitive consumer, promote extreme irrationality and emotional instability, which can lead to aggressiveness.
Studies reveal that sugar may be as involved in mental illness, divorce, and crime as alcohol has been found to be.
Refined sugar is one of the major contributing factors to depression!
ADD and ADHD are running rampant among our children and even some adults!
Isn’t it a paradox that these emotional problems, caused by a very toxic and poisonous addictive drug called refined sugar, are then treated with another poison — like Ritalin or Prozac!
How sad!
If your child is having a behavioral problem, why not consider removing all refined sugar in their diet instead?
Refined Sugar Contributes To Heart Disease
Animal fat is not the only contributing factor in heart disease.
Those on a highly refined sugar diet show significantly higher levels of fat in their blood than those who eat no refined sugar.
This high fat content in the blood is directly related to the development of plaque build-up within the arteries, then to hardening of the arteries, and ultimately to heart attacks and strokes.
Refined Sugar Leads To Addiction And Weight Gain
Refined sugar is highly caloric in its pure form.
But then it is often made worse by combining it with something containing high fat, like shortening, along with some salt.
This produces a tempting goodie like candy, cookies, cake, pie, fudge, a donut, or cinnamon bun.
Often these high sugar foods are consumed with a high calorie sugar drink, like soda pop.
All of this sugar contributes to weight gain.
If a person consumes just one 12-ounce can of soda pop a day for one year, that 10 teaspoons of sugar found in each can of soda could add 12 pounds to their weight in just one year.
When these excess calories are not burned for energy, they are stored as fat, contributing to the obesity epidemic we are seeing today among children and adults alike. Obesity is an underlying factor in not only cardiovascular disease but most other chronic diseases.
Furthermore, because of the way it plays havoc with emotions, refined sugar is highly addicting – it works exactly like a drug. This means that once a sugarholic sufferer has given into this crystalline sweetness, they can’t stop consuming.
Refined sugar is every bit as addictive as nicotine and alcohol and withdrawal from it can be as difficult as withdrawing from cocaine!
We have found that when a person decides to adopt The Hallelujah Diet, they usually do not have a great deal of difficulty eliminating the animal products, white flour products, table salt, or even caffeine (which is another addictive drug).
Many find that the most difficult substance to eliminate is refined sugar.
Sugar has a powerful addictive influence upon many people.
Have you ever noticed that children, who are allowed to have candy, are always asking for more?
They are never satisfied no matter how much you give them! This is because their little bodies have become addicted to sugar and their bodies are screaming for a fix.
NOTE – For those parents who would like to have a better understanding of how refined sugar is affecting their child’s behavior, I would like to recommend a book written by Barbara Reed Stitt titled: “Food and Behavior.”
Refined Sugar Compromises The Immune System
Let’s remember that the immune system is what God built into your body to protect you from the germs, viruses, and bacteria of this world.
The immune system is our first line of defense!
But refined sugar is an immune system suppressant — it knocks out this first line of defense.
That is why those who consume refined sugar find themselves susceptible to colds, the flu, and all sorts of other physical breakdowns, while those who consume The Hallelujah Diet, which contains no refined sugar, rarely if ever experiences a cold, the flu, or other physical breakdowns.
This editor hasn’t experienced a cold or the flu since eliminating refined sugar and adopting a primarily raw, plant-based diet over 35 years ago!
Don’t forget, God tells us we are going to reap what we sow…
“Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Sugar Contributes To Myriad Physical Problems
Refined sugar is associated with malnutrition and decreased resistance to disease.
Refined sugar impacts quality of life — it increases the severity of PMS; decreases cognitive or intellectual function, especially in children; contributes to heart disease and cancer; and so much more.
Following is just a partial list of other health problems related to the intake of refined sugar:
Acne
Addiction to drugs and caffeine
Alcoholism
Allergies
Anxiety
Behavioral problems
Binge eating
Bloating
Bone loss
Candida
Depression
Difficulty concentrating
Eczema
Edema
Emotional problems
Fatigue
Food cravings
Hormonal problems
Hyperactivity
Insomnia
Menstrual difficulties
Mental illness
Mood swings
Premature aging
Psoriasis
… and the list goes on and on.
Conclusion
Refined sugar and products made with it become the cause or contributing cause of many of the physical problems being experienced today.
Refined sugar products are all dead, fiberless, and following animal source foods, are the second most popular of the deadly, killer foods of our day.
No wonder God says in Hosea 4:6:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Is it not a sad commentary, that instead of dealing with our physical problems by eliminating their causes, we deal with symptoms?
We take a poisonous medication instead. It will never fix the problem — but rather exacerbate it!
Almost every physical problem we experience in a lifetime, other than accidents, is because we have failed to nourish our physical bodies the way God intended in Genesis 1:29!
“AND GOD SAID, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed (vegetable), which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat (food).”
Genesis 1:29
If you are consuming the “world’s diet”…
And suffering the consequences with all those physical problems you keep asking God and the doctors to fix…
Isn’t it about time you considered changing your diet from the “world’s diet” to “GOD’s diet…
So that you can experience the abundant health God designed for you?
Next week, the good Lord willing and if the creeks don’t rise too high, we will explore another item that is consumed in large quantities by the average person on the world’s diet that is also devoid of fiber…
Trust you will join us!

Over the last several weeks, we have been learning about the shortcomings and dangers of the world’s diet.
In this Health Tip we are going to examine a substance that makes up a high percentage of the world’s diet — and discover why it is so dangerous to your health.
Refined Sugar Is A Dead, Fiberless Poison
Refined sugar is not a food substance at all. It is a dangerous poison that is consumed by almost every man, woman, and child, in large quantities, on a daily basis.
It is a dead (contains no enzymatic activity), fiberless, and good-for-nothing killer that creates monumental problems within the body.
Refined sugar is something God never intended our physical bodies to consume.
The only sugar God designed our physical bodies to ever have to deal with are the natural sugars found in the living (enzymatically alive), raw fruits and vegetables God created for us in the Garden!
Only 100 years ago, the average annual intake of refined sugar was approximately 5 pounds per person per year. Today, the average annual intake of refined sugar is around 172 pounds per person per year.
This means that if a person is consuming the Standard American Diet (SAD), that person is placing into their God-made physical bodies approximately 50 teaspoons of refined sugar, each and every day of their life.
If a person lives to the age of 80, they will have during their lifetime placed into their body some 13,760 pounds of refined sugar.
My friends that means that the average person on the “world’s diet” consumes nearly 7 tons of refined sugar in their lifetime.
That amount, 13,760 pounds, equals 2,752 five-pound bags of refined sugar.
Can you visualize what 2,752 five pound bags of refined sugar looks like when in the grocery store there are usually no more than ten 5-pound bags on the shelf?
Refined Sugar Is A Dead Food
All refined sugars originated as a natural, unrefined sugar in a living plant. As such, natural sugars contain a complete complement of enzymes, nutrients and fiber, just as God intended.
By the time natural sugar reaches its refined sugar stage, all nutrients have been removed, all enzymes destroyed, and all fiber removed.
As such, refined sugar is a very dead and toxic substance.
Let’s look for a moment at the process of taking sugar cane or sugar beet in its nutrient rich, fiber rich, enzymatically alive state as found in the plant, into a refined, fiberless, lifeless, nutrient-devoid product.
The following information was taken from a newsletter written by Charlotte Gerson of the world-famous Gerson Clinic:
“Sugar is a basic element in starchy food; however, processed sugar is a completely different matter. The sugar we purchase in the supermarket for personal consumption is processed sugar. This kind of sugar is heated up in chalk-milk, so that calcium and protein are extracted. After the process, it becomes alkaloid, destroying all vitamin content. In the second phase the sugar is mixed with acid chalk, carbonic gas, sulfur dioxide and finally with natrium bicarbonate. The mixture is cooked and cooled off several times and thereafter crystallized and centrifuged. The dead mass is then treated with strontium hydroxide. Subsequently it arrives at the refinery where it is passed over chalk carbon acid to clean it. Dark coloring is removed by adding sulfuric acid and then it is filtered with bone charcoal. Finally, it is colored with Indathrenblue or the highly toxic Ultramarine. This product’s chemical composition is C12H22O11, which you can buy in shops as ‘pure cane’ sugar.”
Refined Sugar Is Fragmented
Through heating and mechanical and chemical processing, all vitamins, proteins, fats, enzymes and fiber – indeed, every single nutrient is removed until nothing but pure white sugar, pure ‘naked calories,’ pure refined carbohydrate remains.
Sixty-four food elements are destroyed in the processing. Fragmented foods like these set up nutritional imbalances that precipitate health problems galore.
Refined Sugar Is Highly Acidic
Like animal source foods and refined grains, refined sugar is also extremely ‘acid forming.’
In fact, refined sugar is possibly the most acidic substance one can consume. Soft drinks, which usually contain at least 10 teaspoons of refined sugar, have a pH between 2.8 and 3.5, making it the greatest source of acid we can place into our bodies.
In an effort to neutralize all of this acid, the body takes vital alkaline minerals, calcium being the most plentiful, from the body’s bone structure in an effort to neutralize the acidity. The acidity found in all animal source foods and refined grains cause the body to lose calcium as well.
This highly refined acidic sugar intake, along with the consumption of acidic animal and acidic grain source foods, causes the body to remove so much calcium from the bones and teeth that the bones become osteoporotic (porous) and teeth decay.
Refined Sugar Creates Blood Sugar Disorders
One pound of apples contains 263 calories, whereas one pound of candy contains 1800 calories.
Refined sugar is concentrated far beyond what the God-created human body was designed to process at one time, while the body processes the much smaller amount of natural sugar found in apples just fine.
If a body is going to survive, it must find a way to somehow cope with the incredibly high amounts of sugar found in refined sugar. The body learns how to cope with it, but in so doing, often creates two new physical problems – diabetes and hypoglycemia.

The Amish Don’t Get Autism? And They Don’t Get Vaccinations – Possible Link?
Posted on June 7, 2011 by WV Outpost
People outside the alternative health community are often confused by the lack of autism in the Amish people. The Amish do not experience autism, or any of the other learning disabilities that plague our technological society. The Amish live in a society that consists of outdated technologies and ideals, by contemporary standards. Their diet consists of eating organic, fresh, locally-grown produce, and of course, they do not follow the established vaccination routines. To the dismay of the mainstream media and the medical establishment, this has resulted in a healthier people, that are void of all of our chronic diseases. Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are virtually non-existent in Amish villages. Equally non-existent are modern, chemically-engineered medicines, enhanced (chemically-engineered) foods, G.M.O. foods, and of course, vaccines. How is it that those who are without the “miracles” of modern orthodox medicine are healthier? The truth about health, medicine, and how they both relate to the Amish is becoming an embarrassment to some rather powerful people.
There have been 3 (yes three) verified cases of autism in the Amish, and at least two of those children were vaccinated. No information is available for the third. The strong correlation between vaccinations and autism is absolutely undeniable, unless you work for the medical establishment, the government, or Big Media. Proponents of the status-quo claim that the Amish obviously have a special super gene that makes them immune to autism. They pathetically try to rationalize that autism is some type of genetic failure (i.e. God’s fault), which attacks a brain based on religious affiliation. We’re tentatively expecting a space alien theory next, in a similar vein to the aliens theory used to attack those who believe in a Creator. This is truly is F.D.A. and A.M.A. science in all its shining glory. Vaccine proponents are willing to espouse any ridiculous explanation, so long as they do not have to accept that their entire industry of vaccinations is causing chronic disease, leaving autism for 1 in every 100 children now.
When the Amish are simply left alone, to live free of chemical toxins found in our medicines and foods, they are not plagued with diseases, ing disabilities, or autism. They are categorically more intelligent, with the exception of advanced (college-level) writing skills, which is explainable by the fact that English is not their primary language. Could it be those same Amish ‘super genes’ at work again? Society could learn greatly from their example, if we would only stop poisoning ourselves, and our children on a routine basis.
