General Guidance:Steer clear of fatty meats, dairy, cheese, sweets, chocolates, alcohol and tobacco. Packaged foods are often full of hidden offenders and microwave meals are full of sugars and salts. Over cooking also removes all of the nutrition from a meal!

The most addictive, toxic, and nutritionally deplete ingestible substances are: recreational, prescription, and over the counter drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sugar, white flour (bread, pasta, ect.), refined oils, meat, pasteurized dairy, and baby formula.
