"Toxic Diet"
15 July 2007
"Having attempted the Master Cleanse years ago with disappointing results, I was skeptical when a friend recommended that I try again with the aid of The Lemonade Diet: A Master Cleanse Audio CD.
Well, I thought, 'I'm another fifty pounds heavier than before with about half the energy I had then. And my doctor is threatening to put me on blood pressure meds, if I don't lose weight. What do I have to lose?'
I'm so glad I took the advice and ordered this excellent CD. In just an hour or so of easy listening, I realized that I had misinterpreted some critical instructions in The Master Cleanser, virtually guaranteeing my aforementioned failure. So, I now begin again with renewed optimism.
"Thank you, Mr. Glickman."

1. The average American's "toxic diet"
It is the toxins that Americans are eating and drinking that is causing the epidemic of overweight. Our bodies cannot handle the volume of toxins we consume on a daily basis.
Think processed food does not have toxins? In the article "Why McDonald's Fries Taste So Good" (The Atlantic Monthly, January 2001), the author, Eric Schlosser, says “About 90 percent of the money that Americans now spend on food goes to buy processed food.” He goes on to say that the flavor is replaced with chemicals to add flavor. For example, there are approximately 350 different chemicals in high quality artificial strawberry flavor.
Further in his article, he says, “One of the most widely used color additives …, cochineal [pronounced koash-a-neil] extract ... is made from the [dried] bodies of [a small] female ... insect harvested mainly in Peru and the Canary Islands. The bug feeds on red cactus berries, and color from the berries accumulates in the females and their unhatched [young]. The insects are collected, dried, and ground into a pigment. It takes about 70,000 of them to produce a pound of carmine, which is used to make processed foods look pink, red, or purple. Dannon strawberry yogurt gets its color from carmine, and so do many frozen fruit bars, candies, and fruit fillings, and Ocean Spray pink-grapefruit juice drink."
The artificial sweetener Aspartame, also sold as NutraSweet, Equal, Equal Measure, and Spoonful is another good example. The Food and Drug Administration has a system that permits people to report bad health reactions to food and drugs. According to David Rietz's website, in February of 1994, Aspartame accounted for more than 75% of all bad reactions reported!
A Plane and Pilot magazine article in January 1990 on food additives explained that diet soft drinks are sweetened artificially by Aspartame (called NutraSweet or Equal). Aspartame contains 10% methanol, a poison, that is released at temperatures above 86º or if left on the shelf for a long time.
The article goes on to say that methanol destroys the brain a little at a time. Immediate effects can either be severe (epileptic seizures, blindness, or chest palpitations) or less noticeable (blurred vision, bright flashes, tunnel vision, ringing or buzzing in ears, migraine headaches, dizziness, loss of equilibrium, or lip and mouth reactions). It reports on an Air Force pilot who directly traced the patterns of tremors and seizures he suffered for two years to his consuming NutraSweet in beverages. His medical problems ceased when he quit drinking NutraSweet.
By the way, on 27 June 1996, without public notice, the FDA removed all restrictions from Aspartame allowing it to be used in everything, including all heated and baked goods.
This article is an excerpt from the "Introduction to the Second Edition" of Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days.

"I am so excited about this! I heard about the Master Cleanse when I was 7 months pregnant with my youngest. Now that he is almost 1 and I am almost done nursing I am so excited to do this! I have a count down calendar and everything. My friends who have done this rave about it and I can't wait to do it myself. I've done so much research and talked to so many people that I know this is what I need to do to get back on track and to clean my body of all wastes and toxins that seem to be slowly slowing me down."

2. My mailbag: questions not appearing when posted on the Bulletin Board
The number of emails I receive every day makes it impossible to personally answer all of them in the time I have. However, each week I select one that has been asked by many people and answer it here in this newsletter, which goes out to thousands, as a means of answering some of those questions.
"I would like to post some questions on the Master Cleanse Bulletin Board, however, even though I registered, I can't seem to post.
"When I'm logged in, it says that I am trying to access something that I can't. Is there some sort of time lag from when you register to when you can start posting?"
I've set the Bulletin Board so that new people (newbies) cannot start a new topic (also called a thread) and their first few postings on the Bulletin Board have to be validated by our moderators before the postings actually appear. The validation process usually takes less than 24 hours. After a new person has posted a few times, they may start topics and their postings will appear immediately.
I was forced to do this when our Bulletin Board became popular—We average more than 170 thousand visitors a month!—and therefore a target for people promoting other things on the Internet. We had attracted a stream of ads for unrelated items and services. With approval required before new people can post, we've eliminated those problems.
The reason I prohibited new people from starting new topics/threads is that new people frequently haven't learned how to search the Bulletin Board for existing threads on their desired topic. This leads to our moderators having to answer the same questions over and over again. By the time a person has learned to post and done so a few times, they also have learned how to search for the topic they want.

"I just finished the 10-day Lemonade Diet. This cleanse is simple and inexpensive. It was easy to do. I did not feel hungry at all!
"I reduced the amount of maple syrup and used this Master Cleanse not only to detox my body but to also lose a few pounds.
"I was also pleasantly surprised to learn about the benefits of the cayenne pepper for the body; especially, its benefit if you are having a heart attack.
"The lemonade juice/drink did not leave any aftertaste and I felt great with plenty of energy. I plan to repeat this cleanse the last of this month and two or three times throughout the year as needed. I also plan to continue the salt water bathing.
"I think this Lemonade Diet would benefit anyone and would recommend it to anyone."

3. Trans Fats
What are trans fats? Take some vegetable oil, heat it, then run hydrogen through it. The result is solid at room temperature, has a longer shelf-life than vegetable oil, increases the stability of artificial flavors and has a buttery texture. So far, so good. The problem, according to the Harvard School of Public Health is that trans fat consumption doubles the risk of heath attack, increases the risk of diabetes, and is responsible for the deaths of 30,000 Americans annually! This is a long web address and you may have to paste all the parts of it into the address blank on Internet Explorer to get it to work.)
In December 2006, the New York City Board of Health voted unanimously to ban trans fats from NYC restaurants. It based its decision on the study above and others
The majority of trans fats are found in packaged baked goods; although margarine, vegetable shortening, cereals and snacks also contain some. When you see the words "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" as an ingredient, be aware that means trans fats.

"I have been moving towards a raw foods diet for some time now. I have been reading & learning as much as possible on the subject and making 'baby steps'. This cleanse is the perfect way to start my whole new path to raw foods, cleanse the body and then only put pure living foods in afterwards.
"If you are someone who is also considering moving to a healthier way of life, I highly recommend starting off with the Lemonade Diet!
"Peter, thank you for providing this information!"

"I was told about the Master Cleanse back in 2002. Since then I have done it religiously every 4 months for the past 5 years!
"I am a 42 year old male. I played a lot of basketball growing up and in my 30's acquired bone spurs in my left foot. When I am on the cleanse, I feel absolutely fantastic and so does my foot.
"I am now on day 11 and have lost about 10 pounds (now 175; 6'). I work on a marketing floor and have had dozens of others begin the cleanse with life changing results!
"Thanks Peter!"

4. Morgan’s mighty fine—not-like-your-mother’s—raw coleslaw
Ingredients
• ½ head purple cabbage
• 1 large sweet potato peeled.
• ½ cup raw cashews
(You may substitute other nuts, if you wish.)
• 1 cup currants
• 4 ribs of celery
Chop all of these—or put them through a food processor—until they are sliced into large pieces. Then make the vinaigrette below.
Sweet Basil vinaigrette
• 5 – 8 fresh, whole basil leaves
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 2 Tbsp. Nama Shoyu (raw soy sauce)
• 1 Tbsp. mustard
• 2 Tbsp. raspberry vinegar
• 1 cup olive oil
Put the vinaigrette in a blender and run it on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
To serve, have each person take some of the cole slaw mixture and then pour some of the vinaigrette on their portion. This way the slaw stays crunchy for the next day, when it tastes even better!
