How A Typical Frozen Pizza Is Made

You start with wheat,. corn, soybeans, and sugar cane. The wheat is stripped of all its nutritive value, and made into refined flour. Oxidation agents are added to make the refined flour into stiffened gluten flour. The corn is crushed into refined starch, 'crosslinking agents' are added to make the refined starch into modified starch. The soybeans are converted to protein flour and oil. The protein flour is extruded and refined into tex¬tured vegetable protein. The oil is hydrogenated into margarine. The sugar cane is made into raw sugar, and...

C.C.: The Energizer

I shall bid adieu to my pet peeve, the high-protein diets as trumpeted by the false prophets with a final remark about fatigue. My point will be illustrated by a study that was done with respect to a low-carbohydrate diet on some troops in the Canadian Army during World War II. In that study, the predictable effects of ketosis were made immediately apparent. An unsoldierly group of weary, listless men with sunken eyes emerged from four days of this diet. In their dehydrated and exhausted condition they showed dramatically the results of a regimen...

Vitamins & Minerals

If you were living in an optimal environment where the air and soil were pure and the food came to you in its unblemished, untampered, virgin condition, then I would say, you don't need vitamins and minerals....

Halt To Salt

The biggest dietary myth next to protein concerns salt. Somehow, people believe they need salt. So the aver¬age person sprinkles it on his food as if he is doing his body a favor. Many athletes are still...

No More 'Sugar Rush'

Simple carbohydrate such as sugar throws 50 to 100 calories into your bloodstream at one time. This "rush" causes these" simple sugars to burn up too rapidly, triggering hypo¬glycemia, which means low...

Carbohydrates: Refined And Unrefined

So far we've focused on the "good" carbohydrate, the C.C. But in the drama of dining there is also a "villain" carbohydrate. This element is all the more treacherous because it comes in a sweet, easily...

In the BHMD fats and oils are replaced by Complex Carbohydrates. These will make you lose weight and in addition do something even more beneficial. As part of your daily diet, C.C. protects you against...

Hidden Fats & Cholesterol

In my quick review of how the low-carbohydrate/high- protein diets put you in harm's way, it's well to remem¬ber two medical prefixes, neither of which mean much good: they are hyper and hypo. Hyper means...

An End To Dietary Horror

I could go on and on about the dangerous aspects of this fad diet or any other fad diet. The high-protein/high-fat/ low-carbohydrate diet presents to me a horror story of grisly proportions. Fortunately,...

Your Body Is A Temple

The Beverly Hills Medical Diet runs counter to the "rev­olutionists." It begins where the high-protein promises leave off. It scorns to use a "faucet" technique in which the well soon runs dry. With...

Sleight-Of-Fat

The high-protein/low-carbohydrate diets advocated by Atkins and Scarsdale have perfected a technique for which I have coined a phrase. They use what I call a "sleight-of-fat."The English Dr. Harvey got...

The Enemies Of Bhmd

Since the issue is so clouded with misinformation, and especially since carbohydrates have been made the vil­lain in so many popular diets, let us examine the myth and its hazards. Six years ago the U.S. Department of Agriculture interviewed some 2,500 homemakers and found that only three per cent had a general nutritional knowledge. On the BHMD it is as important to know what you eat as why you eat what you eat.We have already seen that a low-carbohydrate diet is often another word*for a high-protein, high-fat and high cholesterol intake. Just...

The Myth Of "Starch"

With the BHMD I hope to dispel a myth Americans have been laboring under too long. It is the mistaken belief that "starchy" foods cause obesity. Somehow the idea has gotten around that starch is incompatible...

What's Wrong With Us?

There's something wrong with us. When 80 million Americans are overweight—that is, nearly one in two— then I think 1 have reason to state that there is definitely something terribly wrong in our diet...

SELF-NUTRITIONAL SURVEY

One More Word To The Wise

LIKE TAKING PILLS WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION

That's my term for the unwholesome regimen which the well-known proponents of protein have spread "among diet-conscious Americans. Typical of these are the Scars-dale and Dr. Atkins diets. The shortcuts...

GET OFF THE ROLLER COASTER

Unlike the run-of-the-mill or faddist diets, the BHMD does not totally limit carbohydrates. I do not ban the dishes which the faddists and mistaken nutritionists rule taboo. I believe that these types of popular diet are to blame for the most excruciating of dietary woes: the "roller coaster" effect of weight loss. 1 once had a patient who had three suits—for regular weight, overweight, and greatly overweight. He used all of the suits throughout the year. It seemed funny when I heard him tell this story, but it wasn't at all funny when I sat with...
