Eight Principles of Food and Health

  • Nutrition represents the combined activities of countless food substances.
  • Vitamin supplements are not a panacea for good health.
  • There are virtually no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not better provided by plants.
  • Genes do not determine disease on their own, they must be activated or expressed, and nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes, good and bad, are expressed.
  • Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of noxious chemicals.
  • The same nutrition that prevents disease in its early stages can also halt or reverse it in its later stages.
  • Nutrition that is beneficial for a particular chronic disease will support good health across the board.
  • Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence.
