Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Processed foods make us sick and overweight. This is an eye-opening book, helping us all to understand the role of food in health and disease, and how the body needs to and can take care of itself. The intention of this book is to not only reveal what is in our food, but also to help us look at food differently in many ways. There are new proposals throughout the book of how to treat our food, and new ways of food preparation, that are different than the norm, but what is there to lose? What should be considered is: what have you got to gain? Because the more we can do to preserve health, the better off we are, and every little bit helps; there are so many little ways we can change, and they are all addressed in this book. Much of the information is repeated throughout the book, and this is intentionally done to make it indelible. Focus is on the history of refined foods and disease, on how each person can transition from bad foods to good, and the pros and cons of certain foods. We need to give our bodies the chance to create the balance of health we desperately need. This book guides the way. It includes many nutritional recipes.
