Carbohydrates

One lifelong student of nutrition who restored many sufferers to health had this to say: "Too much food improves neither health nor efficiency, but, on the con­trary, leads to premature old age and illness."

He was referring particularly to the fact that because of its poor nutritional value over-consumption of food had become a habit amongst the majority of people in the developed parts of the world, especially in the West.

These bad habits are further encouraged by debasing taste buds with sugar, synthetic flavourings, salt or other seasoned foods, all in excessive quantities.

All white sugar and white flour products have been robbed of most of their nutritive values. The best carbohydrates are found chiefly in whole­grain cereals (including wholemeal flour and brown rice), fresh fruits and vegetables, honey, molasses or dark brown sugar.
