Whole Foods Primer A Comprehensive, Instructive, And Enlightening Guide to the World of Whole Foods

Whole foods--quality protein from animal sources, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains--have made it possible for humankind to survive, to be healthy, and to procreate through the millennia. Unfortunately, today these nutrient-dense foods are regarded merely as raw materials to be converted into more profitable refined and highly processed products. The potato, for example, is converted into chips and fries, corn-on-the-cob into flakes, and the apple into juice. Similar fractioning of food has occurred throughout all the basic food groups. Food partitioning shortchanges our health by diminishing important nutritional offerings and destroying vital nutrient relationships.Hunter, Beatrice Trum is the author of 'Whole Foods Primer A Comprehensive, Instructive, And Enlightening Guide to the World of Whole Foods', published 2007 under ISBN 9781591200864 and ISBN 1591200865.
