A Delicate Balance: The Truth Page #7

what these women need to do

is to go off of animal protein.

Because animal protein, in fact,

is creating a condition

that leads to calcium loss.

What Is The Best Source Of Calcium?

Nature demonstrates the solution to the

best calcium, protein and iron intake.

The largest animals in the

world have large skeletons

and muscle structures to uphold.

What Do They Eat?

Exclusively plants and grasses.

We do not have to eat animals to

get what they get by eating greenery.

(?) Some of the recommendations

of the ??? is from countries ? for

the amount of calcium intake.

You'll see that these levels are

quite high leading one to believe that

we can't get enough calcium

by consuming plant based foods.

Well, my point is if one goes back and

looks who's developed those policies

and those setting those

standards, my view is that

we don't need to set

those standards so high.

And, unfortunately, the bias that have

been involved in setting these standards

have been greatly influenced

by the dairy industry.

A similar situation of

excess holds true for iron.

And so, we have to think a little bit...

rethink our recommendations on iron

again and ask wether or not we can get

adequate amounts of iron, let's say, from

plants. And the answer is definitely yes.

The ability of the body to monitor

its own needs needs to be respected

and protect in the form of giving it

the right kind of resource to work with.

These are not the only problems

resulting from drinking milk,

eating other dairy and

animal based products.

The so-called milk replacer, right?

The calves can't drink milk, that's

our milk, belongs on the shelves, right?

But... so, what do we give the calves?

The calves get milk replacer which,

too often contain spray-dried cattle

blood, is a protein-rich component,

we continue to feed cattle

tissues in the form of cattle blood

to calves in this country.

We're the only country on the

planet with mad cow disease

that allows these kind of

quasi-canibalistic practices to continue.

And we know blood is infectious, we

have people, two people over in Europe

that seemed to have gotten the

human form of mad cow disease,

not by eating meat but by

getting a blood transfusion

from someone who did

eat infected tissue.

We kill animals... we eat them...

those animals are killing us.

Fish

Noam Mohr is a physicist with degrees

from Yale and Pennsylvania University.

He has worked on

global warming campaigns

for the United States Public

Interest Research Group

for which he published several reports

on clima change and

fuel economy standards.

Recent study found that

we will deplete the oceans

of all the commonly eaten species

of fish in the next few decades.

(?) You can see from space the

lines made in the ocean by ships ???

dragging behind them huge nets.

People think of the ocean as

to so vast that we could never

have a big effect on it, but just

like we have a huge effect on clima

with our emissions, we're having

a huge effect on the oceans

by our vast appetite for sea food.

Most people have come to believe

that eating fish is healthy.

That fish contain omega-3 oil,

that is good for the heart.

A closer look at the scientific

literature reveals a different story.

A large, long-term study, by

Michael Burr and colleagues

(?) from the University of

Wales College of Medicine, ???,

reported that men with chest

pain caused by heart disease

had a higher risk of heart attack

when they took fisk oil capsules.

Facts About Fish

Fish and sea food contain significant

amounts of fat, including cholesterol.

Prawns have two times the amount

of cholesterol found in beef.

And 3 ounces of salmon is equivalent

to 3 ounces of t-bones steak

or chicken in fat content.

Free Radicals

Fish harbor a lot of bacteria which

flourish at colder temperatures,

such as those found in refrigerators.

The fishy smell is an indicator that

these bacteria have began to multiply

and have started breaking

down or decomposing the fish.

The decomposition

includes omega-3 fish oils.

Once the spoiling process has began,

the omega-3 oils not only become useless,

but also begin to release free radicals.

This begins and leads to

a wide variety of diseases.

The fact is:
linseed oil derived

from purely vegetarian sources

contains twice as many omega-3 oils.

Linseed oil has no cholesterol

and it is lower in saturated fat.

It does not break down as easily

into free radicals as does fish.

A recent study plubished in the American

Journal of Cardiology reports that

fish is not a boon for good health as

consumers are often lead to believe.

The study suggest that fish consumption

does improve heart health

or improve heart disease.

Excess Protein

Fish contain significant

amounts of protein.

The western diet already contains

twice the amount of protein

needed for optimum health.

As scientists have already demonstrated,

too much protein in the diet carries

the risk of all the diseases of affluence.

Accumulation of chemicals, toxins

and heavy metals like mercury,

everything, from human waste to

industrial waste, ends up in rivers,

lakes and oceans. The consequence

is that fish and shellfish

can accumulate extremely

high levels of toxins.

Fish are the ocean's and water

waste cleaners and filters.

They take in chemicals and wastes

and retain these hazardous

substances until the fish die.

In 1962, Rachel Carson, in

her book called Silent Spring,

warned of the dangers to be

anticipated in the future resulting

from the 637 million

pounds of synthetic poisons

which were produced every year and

then released into our environment.

Since then, as Al Gore as pointed out,

the production of these

toxins has increased by 400%.

In Rachel Carson's word, this pollution

is, for the most part, irrecoverable.

The chain of evil it initiates, not

only in the world that must support life,

but in living tissues, is, for

the most part, irreversible.

Living tissues includes

us humans, all the animals,

including fish, and

all living vegetation.

We have polluted our environment in

the name of progress to such an extent

that we are now reaping

what we have sown.

We poisoned the environment with

all our modern day activities

and it is now returning

in the form of fish

and flesh from other

animals to poison us back.

Farmed Fish

Fish bred in farms bring even

more health hazards to the table.

Less and less of the fish we

people eat comes from the oceans

and more and more is being replaced

by industrialized agriculture

where animals are raised in closed areas

where just stuck so tightly in there

that there's hardly room

for them to swim around.

And, as a result, this ? requires an

enormous amount of feces and pollution

that settles out of the

whole area and destroys

the entire area of

the ocean around there.

Soon, almost all the fish that people

eat will be coming from theses farms
