CANCER, OBESITY, AND HEART "DISEASE"

Where did They Come From, and When?

By Steve Van Nattan

These have turned out to be killer benefits, and no amount of dieting of the starvation style will correct them. What is wanted is a change in attitude, indeed a repentance from sin. My conclusion goes beyond Dr. Atkins' conclusion, but his diet will solve much of the problem. Some common sense will finish the job.

I always put heart "disease" in quotes because the word "disease" is used more and more for conditions caused by sin, even merely the aging process. Real disease is caused by pathogens and agents from the outside which are not associated with the flow of life. I refuse to join this new speak.

Thus......

A WEE HISTORY LESSON:

The Industrial Revolution changed many slow tedious tasks of Americans and Europeans, making work much more friendly, and raising the profit margin astronomically in many ventures. The McCormick reaper and the thrashing machine, though primitive in the early days, reduced farm labor cost fantastically. The cotton gin virtually made the US South a land of wealth and prosperity, so much so that the North fought a war against the South to reign in the wealth factor. The steam engine, though in existence, was perfected during the Industrial Revolution so that vast new areas of work could be done with much fewer people.

The telephone and the radio brought communication from the dark ages of overland mail to instant information gathering. Finally, the assembly line, mastered by Henry Ford, bid farewell to human intensive manufacturing forever. The computer, what I claim is the Third Industrial Revolution, has finished off the age of sweat as millions of people accomplish much, and win high profits, while virtually vegetating physically.

What was the down side of this great era? Well, the laboratory has only recently turned is its report. Heart "disease" came into existence, and cancer became a major killer. Why? Answer: Five fold--

One- Leisure: People of the middle to late 1800s began to see the fruit of the Industrial Revolution as they could work less and prosper more. Laws and conscience came into play, and John Wanamaker, a true born again Christian, along with the raucous labor unions, forced the leeches of big money to give the working man two days off rather than none. Hours worked per day were shortened. The result was that workers had more time to play and sit around.

This new found leisure culture gave rise to more eating establishments, and the Industrial Revolution again came through, and many machines to process and cook food were streamlined. Fast food came into existence in the late 1800s at public gatherings, and into the early 1900s fast food started being carried home. Add leisure, and the image of "the old man" coming home from work and sitting down in a chair like a sloth and munching trash food began to appear. This has come to complete wickedness in the end of the 1900s with the TV, VCR, and non-participation amusements. Today, hundreds of thousands of Americans and Europeans have next to no food set by in their cupboards, and they may eat out regularly for at least one meal a day, often the noon meal at work, and the evening meal because they are too lazy to cook. Eating establishments are now the majority business on any main avenue of every city in the USA and Europe.

Two- Kind of Work: Man, long ago, herded sheep and cattle, and if he found an alternative trade, it was that of mending tents, sailing ships, or taking camel caravans across the waste lands between prosperity and population centers. The Jews today are famous for entering a city, getting a loan from uncle, and starting a commercial business. Years later, they own much of the trade around them. Most sane folks admire this industriousness, while a few hate the Jews for it. Chinese Americans have done the same, and they are an interesting case study.

The Chinese came to America first to build the railroads. After the end of the Industrial Revolution, vast gangs of track layers and human haulers were done away with by the steam drill, like the one that beat John Henry in the song, "And he laid down his hammer and he died..." The Chinese found themselves with a new country to live in, but without a trade. These industrious people went all around America opening laundries and restaurants. Later, others simply waded into the work scene and took any jobs they could find. Now, what were these Chinese peoples' heritage in China? Farming. They were a very good choice for cheap hard labor in building a railroad, for the Gringos in the USA were already nursing a beer belly and angina.

Do you see how the Industrial Revolution made these Chinese people a new people out of an old people? You have the stereotype of them as laundry owners, right? Well, they beat the Anglo kids at math and spelling contests all the time, and they prosper in all trades. But, they suffer the results in their health just like the rest of us as they excel in computer programming.

All vocations in the western world were radically changed as men were given ways to do their work without as much calorie output, and as men were actually replaced by machines. Also, sedentary work, which was once reserved for the gentry of the élite owners and managers of the days to the British East India company, and of the likes of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, was now the bread and butter vocation of thousands of people-- "pushing pencils" and managing costs and purchasing. The Industrial Revolution made it possible and respectable to find work at a desk, and that work paid well. By the time the 1900s were well under way, many calorie intensive tasks were reduced to watching the work be done and pushing buttons at the right moment.

Classic to this world is that of the ships. The Industrial Revolution began with men crawling all over sailing vessels like so many ants, and it ended in our day with men "down below" pushing buttons and "monitoring" this and that function. In very recent times, the space industry has advanced this until one can sit here at this monitor and replace the whole publishing industry with the twitter of the keyboard. I am feeling some guilt over this one :-)

So, life is good, but, unlike my Dutch ancestors in Upper State New York, I have TB (tired bottom) from working hard, yet whilr sitting for too long. There is more to it than that, but let us at least note that this results in me not getting a fraction of the exercise from my work that the Van Nattans of New York got as they survived in 1695.

Three- Women went to work: Sweat shops were the first place that the Industrial Revolution attacked the role of the wife and mother at home. Thousands of Europeans came to the USA to escape the feudal and disgusting conditions in Europe. These people were desperate to make a new start, and in desperation the wife, and even the children, went to work in textile shops. Mindless brutes of the commercial world paid them poorly and worked them so hard that little time was left to shop intelligently and prepare healthy meals. Let us not forget that John D. Rockefeller was the leader of this demonic system. The result was that more and more Americans depended on early forms of fast food, and eating habits deteriorated rapidly in cities.

World War II then caused a great leap forward into the garbage food diet in the average home. Women were coerced by patriotic blabber from FDR et al to enter the factories and help capitalism rage along in a war time economy. Lots of men got rich, and Mama became an absentee lady from the home. When the soldiers came home, Mama had cash, Daddy had cash, and they went and bought cars and houses that demanded both of them KEEP working. Thus, the ladies have been working outside the home ever since, and the cost of housing is based on two incomes. It takes a real rebel to live the modest life of one income, Daddy's income.

But the tragic part is that Mama does not cook. She buys "prepared food" and heats it. And this food is garbage. I have marvelled over and over at the length of the fast food and frozen vegetable freezer cases in super markets. I used to wonder how they could waste so much space and electricity on 100 feet of freezers like that. Finally, it soaked in, the customers are buying that much rubbish and eating it. We will discuss later how it must be heated much too hot to insure no litigation from food poisoning. Also, it is loaded with preservatives to keep it from spoiling and to maintain the illusion that is IS good food. Even the packaging material is deadly. 95% of all plastic packaging is made of petroleum products, while soy bean plastic is mocked and degraded for commercial reasons. Your lovely piece of steak is wrapped in crude oil. Check it out!

More recently, "My Career" has been the battle cry of feminists and ladies pinched by the bank to make payments. Women are conditioned, from kindergarten and through college, to admire and aspire to the work of men. The physical and psychological and emotional strengths of ladies is mocked, and they are encouraged to "kick butt" to prove they are tough. One recalls Hillary Clinton mocking at ladies who stayed at home and bake cookies. She panicked at the reaction of the vast mass of ladies heading back home just as she made her stupid remark, and only a trip to the White House basement, to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies, saved here tottering image.

Life goes on with most male oriented jobs still done by men, and female oriented jobs by ladies, but more and more, women are doing manly work. They often survive, with labor laws to prop them up, but they crash when they get home, and the kid gets his own breakfast and sends himself to school. A latchkey breakfast- A coke and a Mars bar. Mommy and Daddy are both eating from the vending machine at work, and they shop on the way home for Swanson TV Dinners-- exhausted and too tired to shop intelligently.

There is now a frightening and daring trend starting-- Women are going back home to be wives and mothers. This is seen as revolutionary, which shows just how far the thinking of modern man has transgressed the law of Jehovah and common sense.

Let me say this-- The "house husband" is a rough existence, for, as Harry Golden said, "A man must have somewhere to go in the morning." And, God would agree in His Word. But, at least the "house husband" concept recognizes the fact that someone has to mind the home, stock the cupboard, and see to it that the kids are properly fed and kept safe and disciplined in the home.

Four- Philosophy of life: What is the philosophy of life for the modern man? "If it feels good, do it." I don't think that is too simplistic. Perhaps we should add the words of Ricardo Mantalban in the Cordoba Ad on TV. "You deserve a Cordoba." You deserve this and that- you believe that don't you? Well, if you don't you are a freak, for the average White Race member lives with the presupposition that he exists for his own self-gratification.

Add the philosophy of the average manager, from the 7-11 store to General Motors, which is, "I gotta take care of Number One," and, "You have to step on some heads to get ahead." Add a little, "No pain, no gain," and I think you can see that the work and living ethic of the post Industrial Revolution is wildly anti-Christian and anti-christ. Satan said, "I shall be like God," Modern man says, "A am the master of my fate." This has seeped into Christendom as Charismatic and Reformed scum leaders teach people that they must be rich and flaunt their riches to show that God is good to the right people. They claim the life of the very poor Carpenter of Nazareth, then mock viciously at anyone who lives a simple life of contentment and hard work. Lavish life, monster ranches, and gaudy Cecil B. DeMills platforms are the rage on TBN, the 700 Club, and with all TV evangelists, including Richard DeHaan and Chuck Swindol.

The average Fundamental Baptist preacher is FAT! This tells the troops that the belly goes first. Denominational and local church leaders do NOT rebuke these fat boys, for they too are lazy slobs. Fat is IN with modern religion, left, right, and center. Jaba the Hutt would have been ordained in a second if he applied for ordination from the Bible Baptist Fellowship today.

The bottom line-- ahem, yes, the posterior line, of this age is that fat is in, or hanging out. Eating the wrong things, and eating much too much of it, is just another way of enjoying life to the full. Puns abound I gather :-) In any case, fat is accumulating around the belly of the average modern person today, and the toll is obvious in the cardiac ward of your local hospital.

Five- Diet: Well, you knew it would lead to the dinner table, right? Really, the dinner table is just part of it. Fast food, which we said came into our experience in the last 100 years, and the perpetual snack, are a way of life. The man of good manners in the UK, and in the USA long ago, would NEVER be seen walking along the avenue eating as he went. One hundred years later there are vending machines everywhere, there are stand up cafes endemic in Europe. Do you recall the automat of New York City and Philadelphia. As a kid I thought those places were the ultimate adventure in eating. Put a quarter in the slot, open the door, and out comes a piping hot plate of food. No menu, no waitress, not waiting-- to me it was as good as going to Disneyland.

Fast food has made it possible for working managers, the house wife, the lineman, indeed all of us, to "drive through" and come out with a "delicious and nutritious" mess of food all wrapped up so that we can eat it while raging along to the next appointment or to the Laundromat (there's a work killer). This causes a great heart and cancer potential. Driving, even in the most pleasant lays, causes the adrenaline to flow fast. The digestive system is put on low profile, and then the stomach is loaded full with food. And, what kind of food? Carbohydrates cooked in hydrogenated grease with lots of salt. Wendy's even stores the cooked hamburger in a bin of hot grease to keep it tasty to your palate.

But, long before the day of fast food, other things were happening in the food market. Canning of food became very common, and in the process, commercially prepared food became less and less nutritious. Safety regulations demanded very high temperature cooking, and milk products and canned vegetables were over heated and lost food value. Flour was bleached and ground extremely fine with hot blades rather than stones. Rice was bleached. All cereal grains were poured at least nine times between the field and the store shelf. Then housewives learned to rinse any food value off so that the grain product was fluffy and clean looking. The hogs and the Purina people get the leavings of food processing, and the dogs and cats eat better than their owners.

Raw foods are dried, dehydrated, cooked, mashed, juiced, de-pulped, and generally destroyed as good food. Then the government gets into the act, and regulations are set in place forcing the food processors to add food value back in at the end of the manufacturing process. Milk has vitamin A and D added, and all manner of foods are "fortified" with artificial products, often acquired from coal tar and waste materials, so that the eater thinks he is getting a "balanced and nutritious breakfast." Various alleged medical and nutrition experts are called on, and agencies are set up to test and approve of this foodless food. It is now possible to reduce good food to the food value of cardboard, add various fortifying ingredients, and the final product will be recommended by some group of asinine Medical Doctors as meeting the "daily minimum requirement" for survival.

Conclusion and Introduction to Devil's Food:

For purposes of this study, we wrap up this introduction with an observation on diet. Food is ruined for the most part. It is over prepared, over processed, over protected, over regulated, and vastly over rated as to its usefulness, and then it is eaten too fast or while idling in stop and go traffic. The problem is that millions of Americans and Europeans are stuck with this rubbish to eat since they live in urban areas. I say they are "stuck," but there are alternatives. Before we get to the alternatives, we need to first become convinced that some foods are not good for us, and then we need to go an to identify and find the better foods.

The following discussion relates to two ailments in particular: Heart "disease" and cancer.

Before the 1900s, there was almost NO heart "disease" nor any cancer in the whole world. What there was related mostly to some local problem in environment or in individual heredity, such as Caposie's Sarcoma in Greeks. Medical records show that heart "disease" and cancer are a phenomena of the 1900s exclusively. We may also exclude many "backward" peoples of the world who do not eat and live the "modern" life. These groups, such as the Bushmen of Congo and the Masai of Kenya, are like control groups to prove to us that we cannot go on living the alleged "good life." The Masai, Eskimos, and Bushmen eat meat, blood, and blubber all through their lives. They may suffer from various pathogens, but they do NOT have heart "disease," stomach ulcers, diabetes, or cancer. Something more is going on which needs to be addressed.

We no longer live and die of natural causes like our ancestors did long ago, and we can clearly cure this problem.

Thus, we now get down to specifics: Food which came into common use in the late 1800s and early 1900s, AND this is food which modern man, worldwide, will NOT give up. Will you?

I have added ALTERNATIVES to each section. Some of my friends may wonder about my zeal in one or two of these, but the idea is to help people move from peril to safety, or at least get started on the journey.

All of the Following Diet Items
Arrived in the Late 1800s and Early 1900s--
Cancer and Heart "Disease" Followed Proportionally

Dry Breakfast Cereals

In 1894 John Harvey Kellogg, a rank Seventh Day Adventist, invented corn flakes. This alleged food is made from fine ground highly processed corn four, it is cooked, then roasted, and the final product has only got any food value because of all the "fortified" additives in it. Kellogg was well received because of his efforts with TB victims. He gave them fresh air and tender loving care, which worked well in a day when no drugs were available.

But, his invention of corn flakes was a hoax. Problem: The nation went for it. Corn flakes are only good for fattening hogs. What are YOU? A breakfast of any variety of flakes, coffee (sugared), and toast is a killer breakfast. It fails to last through the day, results in carbohydrate snacking, and clogs arteries.

If you are going to start your day with carbohydrates alone, at least cook up some old fashioned oat meal, semolina, or cracked wheat. You do get a little nutrition there. In fact, with a good portion of hard protein and some chili pepper to give you some zip, a moderate portion of healthy carbohydrates at breakfast is the best time of day to eat them. This is because you have the rest of the day to work them off and burn them up. You DO need them up front to get the first kick of the day going. Then the hard protein takes over later and carries you through the rest of the day. Is that too simple for you bunkie? Well, you see, this world, with your body, was made by a very orderly Creator, and He made it real easy to understand, IF, that is, you don't complicate things with modern notions of health.

By the way, please don't listen to these Seventh Day Adventist vegans. They are arrogant slaves of the carbohydrate demons because they believe meat is sinful. Jesus, and all the Greats Men of the Bible, ate meat.

Coca-Cola

1886- Dr. John Stith Pemberton first introduced Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia. The pharmacist concocted a caramel-colored syrup in a three-legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first "distributed" Coca-Cola by carrying it in a jug down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy. For five cents, consumers enjoyed a glass of Coca-Cola at the soda fountain. In 1886, sales of Coca-Cola averaged nine drinks per day.

1891- Atlanta entrepreneur Asa G. Candler acquired complete ownership of the Coca-Cola business for $2,300. Within four years, his merchandising flair helped expand consumption of Coca-Cola to every part of the nation.

1920- The Coca-Cola Company established a manufacturing operation in France.

1928- Coca-Cola made its first Olympic appearance when 1,000 cases of Coke accompanied the U.S. Olympic Team to Amsterdam.

1929- Sixty-four bottling operations were located in 28 countries, spreading refreshment worldwide.

1943- On June 29, General Dwight Eisenhower dispatched a cablegram requesting a shipment of 3 million bottles of Coca-Cola and complete equipment for bottling, washing, refilling and capping twice monthly.

1955- The 10-, 12-, and 26-ounce king-size and family-size bottles were introduced with immediate success. Fanta was launched in Naples, Italy. In 1955, Fanta was the #1 orange soft drink in the world. It was my favorite in the 1950s in Tanzania as a kid where I grew up in a missionary family.

1971- Young people from around the world gathered on a hilltop in Italy to sing "I'd like to buy the world a Coke."

1982- The Coca-Cola Company introduced diet Coke to U.S. consumers, marking the first extension of the Company's most valuable trademark to another product. And the "Coke is it!" theme was translated and tailored to reach consumers everywhere as it was launched worldwide.

1998- Sales of Coca-Cola and other Company products exceeded 1 billion servings per day.

So, Coca Cola is potentially a world wide threat. Is it dangerous, and does it contribute to heart and cancer problems?

Fact- Coca Cola originally was laced with cocaine. The formula is still a secret, and I am told the FDA cannot see it. One thing is clear though- Coke is loaded with sugar.

Fact (some claim it is urban legend)- Drop a nail in a coke, and in several days it will be eaten away. Coke DOES contain phosphoric acid, which is also used as a toilet bowl cleaner and banned in some states.

Fact- The USA did not drink sugared beverages in any quantity during the early 1800s like it did after the advent of Coke and the soft drink war which followed. Refined sugar is a phenomena of the era we are discussing here regarding heart "disease" and cancer. Refined sugar use also introduced a leap in diabetes.

Refined White Sugar

Dr. Paul Dudley White, Massachusetts General Hospital in the early 1920s, and later General Eisenhower's doctor, said that in the 20s he didn't see a single case of myocardia infarction, or heart attack. Sugar, and all the other items in this section, were the major dietary factor in the change from no heart "disease" to the plague we now live with.

Sugar, during Little House on the Prairie days was a rare luxury, and refined white sugar was as rare as caviar is to us today. White sugar was bought in small quantities and served at Christmas. Today refined white sugar is the major ingredient in almost every food product, and it is added to some of the most illogical foods, especially kid's foods which sucker in the user to think he is being satisfied. Why is refined sugar so deadly?

First, the nutrients are all removed with refinement, bleaching, and granulating. Molasses is taken off the end of the process and sold as an expensive cooking ingredient, or worse, fed to cattle and hogs in feeder lots.

Second, the sugar is pure carbohydrates. When you get to the Refined Flour topic below you will find out how that kills you.

Tobacco

Not a food, right? That is true, but no single ingredient of modern life is so insane. The governing leaders refuse to deal with it, yet it causes massive numbers of cancers and heart failures. One guy said, "Smoking won't send you to Hell." True, but it will make you smell like you just came from there.

Smoking is dumb. Did you know that cigarettes are laced with chemicals to further addict you? The FDA cannot get near the weed merchants. Also, the farmers pour on all sorts of bug killers. And, they don't wash the leaves before they dry them. Furthermore, all tobacco carries tobacco mosaic and spreads that disease to farms where tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers are being raised. If you smoke you are killing yourself, and you send smoke laden with all your disease viruses out into the air for others to breath. Your smoke can carry plant disease, TB, and AIDS to anyone nearby. That is one reason our family avoids areas where people smoke.

AND again, tars and nicotine vastly add to your chances of dying of clogged plumbing and cancer. So, go have a Coke, smoke a fag, and eat a bag of cheese puffs while you lay prone and watch the foot ball game. Walk as little as possible. You will be in the mortuary up to 30 years ahead of your ancestors.

Chlorinated Water

Chlorinated water is now found in nearly every city in the world. It is not questioned by 99% of people. There is another more efficient and quicker way to purify water- ozone. But, the idea needs a crisis, as usual, to get the world to consider it. Ironically ozone purification is faster and cheaper!

I read a research in a science magazine. A man gave chlorinated water to a batch of chickens. A second control group got no chlorine in their water. The first group died off rather quickly, and the man dissected and examined them. They ALL died of clogged arteries. To be certain of his work, the man gave the control group the same chlorinated water of the first group. The control group then died of clogged arteries. The man theorized that the chlorine roughs up the lining of the arteries, and this snags fat which ordinarily would pass on through.

Our family drinks NO chlorinated water. Our loved ones have had it for years, and they have been balooned regularly. Hmmmmmm.........

Homogenized Milk

In the homogenization process, milk fat is broken into particles so small that it is emulsified and held within the milk, instead of floating at the surface. In the United States today, almost all milk is sold homogenized.

In the early 1920s and 30s milk was still delivered to the door in bottles with a bulge on top. In this area the cream would rise, and people skimmed it and made their own whipped cream toppings, ice cream, canollis, and butter. You have never had a real conolli if it was not made with unprocessed sour cream. I refuse to give the other secret ingredient lest I be excommunicated by some Baptist jackboot.

Most of you couldn't make a pound of butter if your life depended on it. Why?

Answer: Homogenization. The dairies learned to homogenize milk so that the fat would not float, and the dairy industry took over the making of butter and cream products. This was very profitable to them, and the customer complained very little since most people are too lazy to make their own butter and ice cream.

How is milk homogenized? The whole milk is forced through a tightly packed screen or wire plug in a pipe under very high pressure. This process breaks up the molecules of fat into bits and pieces, and these pieces, like broken balloons, no longer are able to float to the surface of the milk. So, what is wrong with this? Nothing morally, but it is deadly for your health. If you are an evolutionist, the following will drive you nuts. Sorry, but here it is.

Mother Earth News reported TWICE about research done under government grant by one gentleman. The man wanted to see the effects of homogenized milk on people. His research was showing that homogenized milk was deadly, so the Feds pulled his funding half way through the research. The man got mad, and he raised the rest of the cash to finish the research on his own. Several years later, he did it again because of the skeptics who mocked at him. He learned that the pieces of pulverized fat molecules were so tiny that they could slip right through the villae in the small intestine, and again through the walls of the capillaries to be stored as excess fat. This process also occurred in the arteries. Add the roughing effect of Chlorine, and you see the double trouble of this.

I first heard of homogenizing as a danger from a dairy farmer in Michigan in about 1973. We were about to go to Ethiopia, and I asked him what harm pasteurizing did to the food value of milk since we would have to do that. He said that pasteurizing harmed the food value but was otherwise harmless. Then he went on to warn me not to homogenize milk. He said it would cause clogged arteries. I never learned how he knew that, and I was somewhat skeptical. But years later I heard of the research above in Mother Earth News. The man who did that research tested homogenized milk on animals and found that raw milk did no harm, while homogenized milk clogged their arteries.

Since that time we have stopped all use of homogenized milk, and we have noted a number of close friends who gulped the stuff and had to be balooned, some of them several times.

Correction: April 2001-- A reader did some checking and phoning, and she found that milk products producers DO homogenize heavy cream and the milk and cream used in ice-cream. We had said they did not do this, but this was in error. So, it may still be that butter is not a problem, but if it too is made of homogenized milk, then virtually no milk product is safe other than skim and 0% fat milk. There is one brand of cream, Organic Valley, which is not homogenized.

May of 2001 we learned, by the help of a reader, that butter is probably not homogenized by most dairies. This was the case with the milk seller in her area.

Now, here is the good news

2005- This article needs to be considered in the light of
this web site by the Weston Price Foundation
The source, which I believe is free of corruption by the
dairy industry, does not fully agree with the argument.

Here is the other side of the argument

Homogenized milk and digestibility

So, if it were not for the adverse effects of hardened oil on the arteries, it would be a great idea and harmless. But, as it turns out, hydrogenated oil is deadly, causes millions of heart attacks. In contrast, animal fats are good food, recommended by the Bible, and should be increased in our diet.

Well, here is the rest of the hydrogenation story which is found online.
