| The Encyclopedia of Fruitarianism & Rational Living C. Philip Reichard, Editor "Fruit eating is Humankind's oldest and only legitimate form of diet. Africa is the birthplace of the Human Family. All humans of all races can trace their origins back to the early humans in Africa millions of years ago. Some Africans migrated to settle other areas of the world. Europe, Asia, and the Americas to name a few. Through a diet of fresh, raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, Fruitarians and Natural Hygienists have removed all vestiges of ethnicity, national origin, and religious denomination from their diets.” |

| Vegetarianism: The Choice Of The 'More Intelligent' Child By: Jeremy Laurance "Researchers from the University of Southampton who conducted the study agree. They suggest that vegetarians are more thoughtful about what they eat. But they say it is unclear whether bright children choose to become vegetarians for the health benefits or for other reasons, such as a concern for animals, or as a lifestyle choice. The scientists began investigating the link between IQ and vegetarianism because people with higher intelligence have a lower risk of heart disease, A vegetarian diet is associated with a lower cholesterol level, lower blood pressure and less obesity - all risk factors for heart disease." |
| Vitamin B12 Deficiency The Meat-eaters’ Last Stand By: John McDougall, M.D. "Why would a plant-food-based diet, heralded as a preventative and cure for our most common chronic diseases be deficient in any way? These days Westerners are running out of excuses for their gluttony. Well-read people no longer believe meat is necessary to meet our protein needs or that milk is the favored source of calcium. With the crumbling of these two time- honored battlefronts the vitamin B12 issue has become the trendy topic whenever a strict vegetarian (vegan) diet is discussed. How many vegans have you met with B12 deficiency anemia or nervous system damage? I bet not one." |
| Vitamin B-12 And Your Diet By: Dr. Alan Immerman D.C. "Do we get enough vitamin B12? This is a major concern to people who consume no animal foods (vegans). Much of their worry arises from the wide publicity given to statements like the following, which appeared in the prestigious journal, Nutrition Reviews: "Strict vegetarianism in western countries is a form of food faddism which can have serious consequences due to the possibility of a vitamin B12 deficiency." What are the facts? First of all, it cannot be said that vegans consume too little vitamin B12 unless it can be shown they have a definite deficiency of this vitamin. Therefore, in order to understand the facts, we must decide how we will determine who is deficient." |
| The Vitamin B12 Hoax By: Dr. Virginia Vetrano "It is a well known fact in Hygienic circles that many cases of pernicious anemia double their blood cell count in only one week of fasting, without taking vitamin B-12 shots. Most abnormalities of the blood are corrected through fasting. We know that patients who have been on vitamin B-12 injections for years without much benefit can take a fast and get well. This would seem to indicate that, perhaps, they were suffering with a simple gastritis, and that after fasting the inflammatory condition healed, leaving them better able to secrete the necessary enzymes for good digestion. Vegans who practice Hygienic living have splendid health. Man does not have to eat animals to get his vitamin B-12." |
| How Much Protein? By: Herbert M. Shelton "When great nations of the world are suffering from hunger, it is absolute waste to convert large quantities of wheat into eggs, thus losing 90 percent of the nutritive value of the wheat, and to convert tremendous amounts of maize (corn) and barley into fodder (food for cows) and thus lose 75 percent of the calories and proteins. This is a direct stab at our traditional but nonetheless foolish agriculture, which first raises huge quantities of animals, and then feeds man a small percentage of the food value thus converted into animal foods. Men are poisoned by excessive protein ingestion. More than any other food factor, excesses of protein foods fill the body with toxins." |
