Processed Starch Molecules

The ONE food group, which seems to be WIDELY consumed the most and is the MOST HARMFUL to the body, is processed starches. The curious thing about this situation is that many people seem to think that bread and other processed starches are actually good for them and consistently eat them as STAPLE foods in their diets. I say that it’s time for humanity to move from processed starches to salads, or we’ll keep on reaping the disastrous consequences.

Please note: this article is based on anecdotal information and personal experience…

According to Dr. Norman Walker, a processed starch molecule cannot break down within the body. In fact, it can’t break down in water, ether or even alcohol! When consumed, this molecule travels through the body in its unbreakable form. Over the years the millions of these molecules we consume start to cake onto our organs and clog up our bodies. “Germs” – which most people are scared of, despite the fact that they can actually do good for the human body – propogate onto these plaster walls of old food matter containing the starch molecules and help to break the starch molecules down. When the “germs” break down the starch molecules, they turn into a pus-like substance that gets eliminated from the body through mucus, pimples and so on. Can you imagine eating processed starches like this for decades on end and then expecting detoxification through a raw food diet is going to end in just a few days, months or years? I think not…

A list of processed starches might include virtually ALL breads available out there, pastas, baked goods, pizza bases, standard cakes and cookies and so on. If something contains gluten, then hopefully for most people it is an obvious NO NO…, unless you want to fill up your body with glue…! Whole food, gluten-free grains, straight from the Earth are an excellent food choice for replacing the standard gluten-filled processed starches. Some whole food gluten-free options include quinoa, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, brown rice, baked potatoes (without “junk” like margarine on them – use coconut oil), and there are also countless whole grain gluten-free pastas and other similar products out there these days in health food stores, for example “Tinkyada Pasta” is a popular gluten-free brand.
