    About this ebook

    All nutrients play their part in the growth, development, repairs and functions of the body. These functions include that of the immune system – how the body responds to foreign substances or particles. Habitually eating the wrong foods will cause the immune system not to work properly. Also with the inability to produce co-enzymes, enzymes and healthy systems chronic diseases set in, hence the need to know how to figure out what is best to eat, or if there are any foods we should not eat.
    People are now becoming more health-conscious than ever before and have recognized the need to eliminate certain foods from the diet for better health. However, because of the diversity of opinions in the public domain, amid this health-conscious trend exist the confusion of what is good to eat and that to avoid, or if there are any foods to be avoided. Based on promoted popular publications, many have turned to some manufactured foods fairing that some natural foods are harmful and will initiate the onset of chronic or fatal diseases. Others avoid manufactured foods. There are still others that avoid certain food groups – natural or manufactured. With this diversity how do you make informed decisions of what to avoid, minimize consumption of or eat? This book covers the most effective method as it discusses some foods and their promoted manufactured counterpart.

    Jacquelin F. Grant

    Jacquelin F. Grant – born and resides in Jamaica, is a close associate of Dr. B. Daley MB, BS, and has since 1995 after having firsthand experience of health restoration from many ailments including back pains, chronic sinusitis, chronic constipation, allergies, constant nervousness, susceptibility to viral infections and more, with the use of diet and supplements attained what she now consider, good health. She has since embarked on rigorous research with an aim to educate ailing people to good health and others to health maintenance. This she has been doing for more than ten years. Persons who have benefited from her research so far are those diagnosed with cancer, stone formation, diabetes, hypertension, prostatitis, muscle wasting, constipation, chronic headache, acid reflux and more.Interestingly her research has helped many students abroad who sought help on their nutritional assignments via Yahoo Answers. She thought to help her own compatriots and others. Her research is based on finding out the truth about nutrition on the premise that “all that is natural is good to eat”. Her aim is to use her publications to educate as many people as possible, so that they will have the opportunity to, with the use of proper food proportions and supplementation, take control of their health, thus managing the chronic conditions that cannot be cured and cure others.In addition to her nutritional interest she also indulge in a little graphic design, creating print items such as cake boxes (favor box), invitations and programs for weddings. This was her first love before researching nutrition. Later she introduced photography, registering with multiple platforms such as Adobe Stock, Alamy, Dreamstime and Depositphotos that she contributes photos for licensing.

      Forbidden Foods - Jacquelin F. Grant

      PREFACE

      We all must eat. We eat to build body tissues that maintain essential body functions. Like anything else eating the right kind of foods makes the difference between growing good healthy cells that will maintain these functions, or mutating damaged cells that will cause chronic disease. As important as it is to get the essential nutrients the body need, timing, combination, balance and adequate amounts of each nutrient are critical. It is also essential to note that all nutrients play their part in the growth, development, repairs and functions of the body. These functions include that of the immune system – how the body responds to foreign substances or particles. Habitually eating the wrong foods will cause the immune system not to work properly. Also with the inability to produce co-enzymes, enzymes and healthy systems chronic diseases set in, hence the need to know how to figure out what is best to eat, or if there are any foods we should not eat.

      People are now becoming more health-conscious than ever before and have recognized the need to eliminate certain foods from the diet for better health. However, because of the diversity of opinions in the public domain, amid this health-conscious trend exist the confusion of what is good to eat and that to avoid, or if there are any foods to be avoided. Based on promoted popular publications, many have turned to some manufactured foods fairing that some natural foods are harmful and will initiate the onset of chronic or fatal diseases. Others avoid manufactured foods. There are still others that avoid certain food groups – natural or manufactured. With this diversity how do you make informed decisions of what to avoid, minimize consumption of or eat? This book covers the most effective method as it discusses some foods and their promoted manufactured counterpart.

      INTRODUCTION

      Foods are essential for tissue regeneration and repairs. Eating the right kind of foods and eating balanced is vital for good health. There is a popular notion of avoiding some natural foods claiming they harm good health. One such food is meat fats. To the extent that the populous believe that saturated fats are bad for good health, prompt the removal of all fats from most meats sold in supermarkets. I am a lover of beef fat but deprived of its flavourful taste for a very long time. Not knowing the reason, I eventually started to suffer discomfort due to drying lubricating body fluids. It was not until I sourced beef fat once more and started consuming it twice per week that my problem resolved. After a few months of beef soup, including the fat, I was okay again.

      The farming industry is also affected by food prohibitions where-by individuals advised against milk consumption, beef, and other farm products result in farmers losing millions spent on livestock and crops that are no longer in demand. The ration created affects even consumers who seem not to care about these prohibitions, thus my motivation to embark on rigorous nutritional research, especially about aspects of controversial subjects such as fats, and how it affects our health.

      None of my books so far addresses the all-important so-called forbidden foods. Is this because these foods are not essential, or could it be because there is no such thing as forbidden foods? Could it be that people are misinformed about the potential dangers of foods, and these foods are truthfully essential for good health? If they are valuable, in what ways are they? And if they are not healthful, what harm will they cause? Find out more about the controversy of these foods as you read along.

      RESTRICTED FOODS PROPERTIES

      As we mingle among people and professionals, we hear of dietary foods to avoid or minimize. Advice to eat just sections of certain foods claiming the rest is unhealthy for consumption is common. There are certain food restrictions for segments of the populous. The restricted foods, mainly natural farm products or their derivatives, are blamed for disorders ranging from cholesterol deposits in the circulatory system, hypertension, gout, diabetes, cancer, and others. These edibles include eggs, table salt, fats (mainly saturated), meats, some vegetables, black pepper, sugar, white flour, white rice, cow's milk and other dairy products. How much do you know about these foods? Are they the cause of acute or chronic illnesses?

      BEETROOT

      While there is no universal prohibition against the consumption of beetroots, many believe that the ingestion of beetroots is harmful to hypertensive health. The cited reason for abstinence is that beet is too rich and is responsible for the stimulation of blood production, and thus bad for people with hypertension. Is this a good reason for abstaining from beetroots? Are beets dangerous for people with high blood pressure?

      Although commonly known for its beautiful red-purple colour, Beetroots are available in varieties that feature white, golden-yellow or rainbow coloured roots. Beets are members of the chenopod food family, showing unique health benefits not readily available from other food groups. The red and yellow betalain pigments found in the chenopod food family, the epoxyxanthophyll carotenoids, and how the overall phytonutrients benefit our eyes and nervous system's health point to this family of food as being unique in health value.

      Betalains are water-soluble pigments that give beets their rich colours. All betalains come from the same betalamic acid. The addition of amino acids is what determines the specific type of pigment produced. Betacyanins that are red-violet and betaxanthins that are yellowish are two basic types of betalains. In crimson, dark red or purple coloured beets, betacyanins are the dominant pigments. Betaxanthins, mainly the pigment called vulgaxanthin, are the predominant pigments in yellow beets.

      Betacyanin is the pigment better known for its cancer-fighting properties. Several mechanisms, including inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes, cyclooxygenase, laboratory studies show that betanin pigments from beetroots lessen the growth of human tumour cells. The tumour cell types tested in these studies include those from colon, stomach, nerve, lung, breast, prostate and testicular tissue. Ever since the nineteen fifties Dr Ferenczi in Cooma hospital in Hungary uses raw red beets and nothing else to cure cancer. With beetroot therapy, if one has a large tumour and uses vast quantities of beetroots to treat such cancer, the beetroots may destroy the cancer cells faster than the kidney can process the toxins. Thus, if one embarks on a high beet dosage treatment for cancer, one should start with low quantity, in-crease gradually and reduce again to low amounts if one starts feeling unwell.

      In addition to their anti-cancer properties, betalains, which are richer in beetroots than any other foods, function as anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and detoxifying agents. Observation highlights betalains are providing more varied and higher antioxidant value than most other vegetables containing beta-carotene. Also, beetroot, which is also rich in vitamin C, folate, manganese, magnesium and potassium, seems to have a wider variety of antioxidants than any other vegetables. Beetroot is also an unusual source of betaine, an essential nutrient made from the B-complex vitamin, choline, and is very important for regulating the body's inflammatory status. Additionally to beets, rhubarb, chard, amaranth, prickly pear cactus and Nopal cactus are examples of foods that contain betalains.

      Functions of beet include the cleansing of the blood and colon and strengthening the gall
