Hey all, Quo recently discussed a topic whereby they described certain foods as having a poisonous quality to them, when in fact we believe they are beneficial:
"The physical vehicle of most entities within your culture is that which has been subjected to a great variety of what many would call “poison” that is sold as food, and this type of tainted food, when combined with certain kinds of mental processes, is liable to produce a vulnerability to certain kinds of dis-ease, as you would call them, that which you have described as the “common cold” and that which you have described as “flu.” The complexity of the interrelationship between the physical vehicle that is so weakened in certain aspects, combined with the mental quality of feeling that certain foodstuffs are advantageous when they are perhaps counter-productive, then with the combination of personal catalyst of what you would call a “disharmonious nature,” provides a certain stew of a mixture that is responsible for the phenomenon of the mass subjugation of the immune systems of many of your peoples who have basically weakened physical vehicles due to dietary choices and mental choices of unrelieved disharmony, shall we say."
This got me to thinking of all the foods foisted upon us as being good for us, but are actually harmful if overused. There are too many to list here but everything from spinach to tea has negative effects if consumed too often. It's recommended we eat several portions per day/week. Take tea and spinach, far too many oxalates for excessive consumption. Wheat has an inflammatory effect on the digestive and cardiovascular system. Ayurvedic systems back up the suggestion that most of the foods we eat should actually be avoided or reduced dramatically.
I went a bit mad looking at all the foods modern science encourages us to eat, and their strong potential to cause harm. Name a food the media is encouraging us to consume, and sure enough there is independent research indicating minimal consumption is recommendation.
So I worked myself into a frenzy of conspiracy theories and possible reasons why "they" would be persuading the masses to eat in this fashion. I thought some of these superfoods really were good for us and were making money off our thirst for health, rather than the actually fabricating health benefits of harmful foods. Duh I should have known better! This was getting me nowhere so I asked for guidance on this topic, I was given a memory of nearly 25 years ago. My brother had just watched a documentary on a group of people in Japan who seemed to live extraordinarily long lives on average. They had the usual demands of modern life and were living no more a peaceful life than the average westerner. One thing they did do is eat a large variety of foods. He mentioned some figures and of course I cant remember the numbers but they were eating something like ten times the amount of different foods per week than a westerner. I am not explaining this well..... So say for example we would eat 20 different types of food per week, endlessly eating the same variety of foods i.e. wheat, milk, cheese, corn, potatoes, the Japanese were eating 200 different types of food per week from various different pickles, plant material, fermented foods, different sea life etc. They really mix it up.
So looking back at the spinach scenario, yes its good for you but too many servings and your body is inundated with chemicals that block you absorbing nutrients from other foods. My colleague has a big spinach, kale and pineapple smoothie every morning thinking she is following good medical advice and should be brimming with health, but may be doing harm and causing disharmony in other ways.
At first I think I was a bit annoyed at reading this channel because I'm pretty rigorous when it comes to eating good natural and unprocessed food, and I've always had an intuitive feeling about this poisonous "good" food scenario playing out globally (my family in quiet parts of Africa are raving about the benefits of kale). I felt I had to be even more vigilant in my food choices.
But the ultimate result has been hopefully beneficial, mix up your food choices as much as possible and don't get caught up on the good food bandwagon.
