Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)
This traditionally revered herb contains allantoin, an ingredient in many skin lotions. Allantoin soothes the skin and speeds healing by promoting the growth of skin cells. To use, apply comfrey as either a salve or a compress. |

Fill up on Mother Nature's diet foods. It is the weight of food, not its calories, that fills you up. A low-calorie meal will satisfy you as much as m i m a high-calorie meal, as long as they weigh the same. So work with this instinct by loading the plate with foods that weigh lots, but have few calories. That means watery and fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Both take up more room in your stomach than processed foods, so you feel full on fewer calories. |

SODIUM NITRITE, SODIUM NITRATE
Preservative, coloring, flavoring Bacon, ham, frankfurters, luncheon meats, smoked fish, corned beef
NITRITE can lead to the formation of small amounts of potent cancer-causing chemicals (nitrosamines), particularly in fried bacon. Nitrite is tolerated in foods because it can prevent the growth of bacteria that cause botulism poisoning. Nitrite also stabilizes the red color in cured meat and gives a characteristic flavor. |

• Eliminate from your diet foods and substances that are known to cause body odor including garlic, curry, cumin, onions, cigarettes, and alcohol.
• If you suffer from the enzyme deficiency that causes "fish odor syndrome" you must eliminate all foods containing choline from your diet including eggs, beans, chicken, and fish, as well as choline supplements.
• If you have a "musty" body odor, you might suffer from candidiasis. Once the condition is cleared up, the odor will disappear. See Candidiasis, page 61. |

In cured meats, they are used to stabilize the pink color (sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite). (See section 49.)

These fall into numerous categories, such as emulsifiers, foaming agents, stabilizers, and more. |
Cheryle R. Hart, M.D. Mary Kay Grossman, R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Several visits later she was eating a very healthy diet, including plenty of calories, but still was eating only "diet foods." She had not eaten any of the foods she loved in weeks. She was getting bored and frustrated despite a steady weight loss. Her "dieting" path was heading for disaster—again.
We finally convinced Sharon to eat some of her favorite foods while still adhering to our program. When she arrived for her next appointment, she said, "I know I've gained weight." She was concerned because she had included a small bowl of chocolate ice cream in her plan. | | It was not possible to eat only "diet foods" for the rest of her life.
Sharon was very excited to try a program that did not require counting calories or fat grams or require cutting out all of her favorite foods. She was pleased that she did not have to starve herself, too. She was a little apprehensive as to whether or not the Insulin-Resistance Diet would work for her. Her second visit to the Wellness Workshop assured her that she would lose weight. In fact, she lost nine pounds in two weeks. |
Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra
See book keywords and concepts |  When Roger, my four-hundred-pound friend mentioned in the previous section, was trying to lose weight about fifteen years ago, many of the newly engineered diet foods were unavailable, but this is not what caused him to turn to a high-fiber/healthy-fat diet. First he tried every diet available: the Scarsdale Diet, the Grapefruit Diet, the Aviator's Diet, and protein drinks. With none of them, however, could he keep the weight off when he returned to "normal" eating. Obviously it was the "normal" eating that needed to be changed. |
Samuel S. Epstein, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Until 1959 the use of saccharin was restricted to those with special medical needs who took it as a prescription drug or used it as a "table top" sweetener or in diet foods in preparations labeled:
Warning: to be used only by those who must restrict intake of ordinary sweets.
Saccharin was first suspected of being carcinogenic in 1948 on the basis of an FDA chronic toxicity test. The questions of car-
X These results were confirmed in a preliminary U.S. study by E. | | A single and notable exception is FDA's requirement for labelling diet foods containing saccharin with warning of evidence on its carcinogenicity in rodents (Chapter 6). This warning has been recently strongly opposed by the Calorie Control Council. Of related interest is FDA's failure to require such warnings in saccharin-containing tooth paste, posing particular hazards to children.
The pervasiveness of this problem is illustrated by the multiplicity of carcinogens listed in the examples of 12 brand name products — the "Dirty Dozen" — listed in Table 17.4. | | Carcinogens in Sweeteners
Aspartame: Aspartame is used in Equal and NutraSweet, as well as in many brands of low-calorie diet foods, desserts, and soft drinks. In 1980, the FDA convened a public board of inquiry (PBOI) to review concerns over aspartame's potential ability to induce brain tumors. Although the PBOI concluded that ingestion of aspartame would not cause brain damage, scientists who had been asked to review scientific findings expressed doubts. |

Creeping Death: The Neurodegenerative diseases
NEUROLOGICAL TIME BOMBS
Most of us are at least familiar with some of the diseases that affect the brain and spinal cord. For example, you can understand how a virus might invade the brain and cause it to become inflamed (called encephalitis), or when a bacteria infects the linings of the brain and spinal cord to produce meningitis. Likewise, it is easy to understand, at least in a basic way, how the brain is injured by a stroke. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Learning to tune in to hunger signals, eat on time, avoid the scale and stop buying "diet foods" were challenging, too: "It seemed as if my whole life was turned upside down," she explains. "Everything I had been doing with food my entire life had to be undone, and I had to learn to do almost the exact opposite. It made me feel crazy for a while." Sally persevered anyway, she says, because she believed the Naturally Thin principles. "Besides," she adds, "I really was crazy when I was starving and bingeing. |

See book keywords and concepts | | ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS: Sorbitol and mannitol, artificial sweeteners found in diet foods, particularly candy and chewing gum, can act as a laxative when they're consumed in large doses. Many diabetics eat foods that contain sorbitol and are unaware that occasional bouts with diarrhea are caused by this ingredient.
If your diarrhea lasts for more than a couple of days or if it is accompanied by other symptoms including pain and/or fever or chills, consult your doctor.
What about "tourista" or traveler's diarrhea? |
Jean Antonello
See book keywords and concepts | | This makes sense in light of the fact that they have often forced themselves to eat these "perfect" diet foods ad nauseam. They are overloaded! This aversion concerns some people because they know that vegetables are nutrient-rich and that they should eat them. Don't worry if you find yourself hating leafy greens at this stage. Your cravings for these wonderful foods will develop as your body adjusts to having enough good food for a change.
Often people getting off the Cycles crave bread for a few weeks, some as much as a loaf a day! |

They are also used as dispersing agents in gelatin desserts and mixes; and up to 10 ppm in finished table salt: They are used in creaming mixtures for cottage cheese and low-fat cottage cheese and as a surfactant and wetting agent for natural and artificially colored barbecue sauces. It is an emulsifier used in cosmetic creams and lotions and a stabilizer of essential oils in water. It is used as a nonionic surfactant (see). | | ALUMINUM NICOTINATE • Used as a source of niacin in special diet foods, also as a medication to dilate blood vessels and to combat fat. Tablets of 625 milligrams are a complex of aluminum nicotinate, nicotinic acid, and aluminum hydroxide. Side effects are flushing, rash, and gastrointestinal distress when taken in large doses.
ALUMINUM OLEATE • A yellow, thick, acidic mass practically insoluble in water. Used in packaging, as lacquer for metals, in waterproofing, and for thickening lubricating oils. Low toxicity. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Food and Drug Administration, 1970), cyclamic acid, sodium cyclamate, and calcium cyclamate were used as nonnutritive sweeteners in carbonated beverages, in dry beverage bases, in diet foods, and in sweetener formulations. Sodium and calcium cyclamates were used primarily as a 10:1 cyclamate:saccharin salt mixture (Wiegand, 1978).
Epidemiological Evidence. Epidemiological data on cyclamates alone are not adequate, because cyclamates were rarely used without saccharin. |
Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Previously, nearly five million pounds of saccharin were used yearly—about 75 percent in diet drinks, 15 percent in other diet foods, such as canned fruits and ice cream, and about 10 percent as a table sweetener. One advantage of saccharin is that it does not convert to glucose in the body, so it is popular among diabetics. However, it is a chemical that must be metabolized and eliminated from the body.
Saccharin is not considered safe. It may be mildly to moderately carcinogenic, depending on the level of use and the health of the consumer. | | Under the brand name Nutrasweet, aspartame is used in candies, diet foods, soft drinks, and chewing gums.
There are some potential problems, especially for people with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disease that affects about 1 in 15,000 people. Lacking the enzyme to metabolize phenylalanine, people with PKU cannot handle large amounts of phenylalanine, either as it occurs naturally in foods or in aspartame, which breaks down into aspartic acid and phenylalanine. With increased levels, these individuals may experience headache, dizziness, sleeping problems, and other behavioral changes. |

See book keywords and concepts | | They are also used for intensifying flavor in chocolate, vanilla, and fruit-flavored foods and beverages, such as gelatin, desserts, soft drinks, and other high-carbohydrate products, as well as to mask the bitter aftertaste in diet foods and lower the sugar content of regular foods (maltol, ethyl maltol).
HUMECTANTS
Humectants are moisture-control substances used to prevent foods, particularly icings, candy, and confections, from drying out (glycerine, propylene glycol, sorbitol) and to prevent table salt from caking (calcium silicate). |
Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., Lisa Y. Lefferts and Anne Witte Garland
See book keywords and concepts | | Thousands of consumers wanted to continue buying saccharin-sweetened diet foods, and demanded that Congress override the FDA's decision. The flames of consumer revolt were fanned by industry's advertisements. Congress responded by interceding and exempting saccharin from regular food-safety laws, and by 1991, the exemption had been extended several times. For better or worse, aspartame has replaced saccharin in many foods. Regardless of whether saccharin helps people lose weight—and there's little evidence that it does—food manufacturers love saccharin for several reasons. |
Jean Antonello
See book keywords and concepts | | Feelings of actual fullness are to be avoided and often eating between meals is frowned upon. diet foods are "best." Foods with any fat in them are evil. Keeping food away from hungry dieters is considered a helpful tactic. Exercise is thought necessary to burn off calories lest they most certainly be stored as fat.
See how much you've learned in your quest for thinness? Now we'll address these false diet tenets from the "breaking-out" perspective of adaptation.
DIET DOCTRINE #1: Calories are bad, so eat as few as possible. |
Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | NutraSweet® is used in many diet foods and beverages. It is well recognized that liquid forms of excitotoxins are much more toxic to the brain than dry forms as they are absorbed faster and produce higher blood levels than when mixed with solid foods.
But the negative effects of excitotoxins are not limited to small children. There is growing evidence that excitotoxins play a major role in a whole group of degenerative brain diseases in adults—especially the elderly. |
