Summary: A Taste That Kills
Review: Every year, over 2 million people die. Most die from heart attacks or some kind of cancer. Some say its in our genes. But, everyone must also eat. It can be shown that we are what we eat and do physically. There is a taste that kills. But, some people love their food more than a healthy lifestyle. They will eat their favorite foods until they drop. Healing lines, hospitals, and cemetaries become full from them. The tongue is like the rudder on a ship. It may be small, but it steers the whole ship. Where is your tongue steering you? Read this book to find out.

Note that an animal designed to naturally eat meat (lion) has a straight intestinal tract to get the meat out quickly. A human's intestinal tract is very windy and all coiled up. Consequently, meat can stay there for over 70 hours. In that time, the meat can become rancid and breed bacteria which leads to disease.

Combine that with popular low fiber foods (devoid of natural fiber, enzymes, and vitamins) and one gets diverticulitous (bulging of the intestinal wall that traps more food). Now, the immune system is weakened for the lack of natural ingredients and we become vulnerable to viruses and bacteria. A doctor will then prescribe antibiotics, which are very efficient. The bad bacteria is killed along with good bacteria. Then, the yeast found in everyone grows out control, making over 80 toxins, thus making us sicker than before. This and more from the monster of processed foods sweeps many people to their fate. Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow. Unless, one reads this book ...

Summary: Borderline Infomercial but still good stuff
Review: I give the book four stars because I feel the advertisement about the nutrition center should have or could have been left out.
However, like some folks said this information should be common sense I agree is should be but look around. Does your life style or the life style of your Christian friends show common sense? I believe most of us (not all because some folks are on the right track) can get some good from this or similar teaching about our physical health. And if we are physically healthy we will be better ambassadors for Christ. True, it is not going to be a cure all for everybody but the principals are good. The one big drawback that I see is being able to afford whole natural foods. Too many of us have to live in and work in environments that preclude natural food styles, but just like most of us don¡¯t fully live up to every precept of the Bible itself, it is still worth striving for. I would say prayerfully read the book.

Summary: A bombshell of health and nutrition truth.
Review: The five white dangers listed in this book are a revolution. If every American avoided these foods (which most Americans make as eighty percent of their diet) and applied the simple principles of this book, the nation's average life expectancy would jump to 90-100 years.

The arguments on this page are respectable, and there are a number of things meat eaters must consider when they attempt to justify their meat eating with the argument that "they ate meat in the Bible."

When God created the earth, everything was perfect. The plants, animals, soil-everything! Now how could anyone who believes in Creation say that the diet given to perfect humans in a perfect Creation was NOT perfect? According to the Bible, humans didn't eat meat or dairy until after the fall, when the world and God's Creation were no longer perfect. Thus, the diet degenerated into imperfection. Now, in the less-than-perfect world after the fall into sin, all creatures ate whatever they could get-food wasn't perfect anymore. Jesus ate what He could get in the imperfect world conditions just like everyone else. So do most Americans, unknowingly, living in ignorance. They have the means and the resources that Bible people and Jesus didn't have.

And now science is finally uncovering that the original diet God gave in His perfect Creation was the one ideal for man. And the great economy and bounty of these present times make obtaining this prefect diet from a perfect Creation more obtainable, unlike in Bible times. According to the Bible, this meatless, dairy-less diet is the one God originally gave man and the one by which God intended His creation to be sustained!

This book tells you how to obtain this nearly perfect diet (hey, nothing is absolutely perfect after the fall). By simply following the principles of this book, I've witnessed my energy soar. I need 2-3 hours LESS sleep than I did eating the average American diet. Everyone should try eating by this book's principals-for at least a couple weeks. They will show you what true health really is.

(Note: Some of the following information was gathered from various sources.)

Still think humans are designed to eat meat, even though when God designed us, we didn't eat meat? Well, read this information from the author of this book in an article he wrote about the subject:

"Often in my seminars, Christians will challenge me by stating that people ate meat in the Bible. "That may be true," I answer, "but the meat in Bible days and the meat our forefathers ate was a totally different animal!" The meat in Bible days and the meat our forefathers ate was only about 3 percent fat. Beef, the way it is grown today is 20 to 30 percent fat...while pork is 40 to 60 percent fat! Nor was the meat our forefathers ate full of antibiotics, growth hormones, preservatives, toxins and cancer! Nor did they pasteurize and homogenize their milk or produce eggs in wire cages without benefit of daylight, green food, insects, et cetera!

Often people will say: "Oh, I don't eat red meat any more...I only eat chicken and fish." Somehow the American public has the misconception that chicken and fish are healthy. NOT SO! Chicken has the same amount of cholesterol as beef and is loaded with growth hormones. A chicken that used to take 15 weeks to mature is now ready for market in just six weeks. Sixty percent of all chicken is contaminated with salmonella. Then there are the antibiotics and other drugs. And when we look at fish, we find that in terms of calories consumed, fish has twice the cholesterol of pork or beef; has no fiber (as is the case with all other animal products), which promotes problems connected with lack of fiber, ranging from constipation to colon cancer; not to mention the risks associated with eating contaminated fish from polluted waters..."

The meat nowadays just isn't safe anymore. The Bible doesn't forbid meat. Does that mean meat is NOW safe? It was reasonably safe then, but not now! Meat and dairy now can hurt you readily from a lifetime of eating. The Bible doesn't outright condemn many things like cigarettes and such (of course it couldn't), and is it sin to smoke? If you know it harms your body, I believe it is. Now you know that certain eating habits can harm you, too. God wants us to take care of our bodies.

From the author of this book: "Meat eating and the use of dairy products have not a single redeeming feature! There is no assimilable protein in meat or eggs, and no usable calcium in dairy! Why? Because the heating (cooking) of the protein deranges the molecular structure of the protein, making it unassimilable by the body. The pasteurizing of dairy products changes the organic calcium to an inorganic, unusable form. If we look to nature, there is not a single meat-eating animal in the wild that cooks the flesh it eats, nor is there an animal in the wild that pasteurizes the milk it feeds its young. Nor is there even an animal in the wild that drinks the milk of another animal, or drinks milk after the age of weaning."

Humans were not perfectly designed to get cancer and heart disease at epidemic proportions (in America, 8 out of 10 people will have some degree of heart disease before they die and fifty percent of all people will have a heart attack). What is causing this atrocity? Mostly, it's the standard American diet-what most of us eat. Following the principals in this book will virtually eliminate your risk. Case closed.

"And God said: Behold, I have given you every herb (vegetable) bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a treat yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." (Genesis 1:29)
