Fruit, Vitamin, Minerals, Water and Cancer.

Consider this and draw your own conclusions!

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Or Not!
Seems this statement has been around for quite a while, I did some research and more people seemed to disagree than agree and could not find any serious comment from any medical sources.

This is what they said:
"It is nice to have a cup of cold drink during a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and maybe even lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water during and after a meal".


I personally try to avoid drinking anything with my food and concentrate far more on taking in smaller pieces and chewing for longer periods to allow the saliva to start the break down process, aiding the actual digestion of the food (especially meat).

The idea that drinking anything with your food, "helps it go down", is silly, not only does it dilute the digestive enzymes in our mouths but also ,encourages us to swallow larger chunks of food faster creating a digestive overload.
It is easy to imagine how hard the body will be working to process the backlog, just like a overloaded conveyorbelt the pressure from behind forces the food through the system, not given time to break down and extract the goodness and nutrients and creating a virtual traffic jam in the intestines..when there is not a clean, clear, healthy, natural flow through the intestine, debris begins to accumulate creating blockages and stoppages. One does not have to be a medical expert to imagine what happens when these half digested waste products begin to accumilate and rot in the intestines...

All sensible comments gratefully recieved on this subject.

I think I might have sourced the root of the following statements or at least the same sort of thinking. Have a read and then if you want to look further, go to:

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.....

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat it during a meal my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice.. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
