Having been directly exposed to toxins in my career, I have consequently been proactive for years in seeking wisdom and understanding concerning health. I have been on pro biotic supplements since the 90's, way before they became a fad, and advertised on t.v. Enzymes are also a big key to health, validating the raw food diet, which I also have had part in. I have much knowledge on the subject of natural health. I could go on, but that is not my purpose here.
So then...It was to my amazement when I was working in construction at an LDS office and food storage facility and discovered things like sugar, and flour, and canned food. Talk about straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel. Sugar is no better than a street legal drug. White flour and processed salt are toxic to the body. (Sea salt is preferred). Canned food and many other processed foods are very hard to digest, as the enzymes have been destroyed, resulting in toxins in the bowel from poor digestion, and inferior nutrition extraction from the food.
I still drink a little coffee to this day, and a little wine. And I can guarantee that I am far healthier than many who think that they are, by their abstaining from a few chosen taboo items. The part that saddens me is the pier pressure, or even spiritual pressure that is used to get people to comply with a rule or two in ignorance of the bigger picture.
