Starch granules were found in blood, urine, bile, and human milk after a human subject drank a suspension of water and raw starch.

Radiologists can detect many tiny lacunar scars in the brains of all people over the age of 30. Some scientists

believe they are caused by the inadequate cooking of starch.Medical Hypothesis 1991 (35:85-87

• Rolled oats, corn grits, whole grain rice, whole grain wheat, and cracked wheat were tested.

• Specimens were observed after 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours of cooking.

To achieve complete hydrolysis:

• Rolled oats ........................ 90 minutes

Eskimos have highest hip fracture rate in USA, also highest calcium intake, 1,500-2,500 mg./day with 250-400 gm. protein.

Causes of OsteoporosisCauses of Osteoporosis• High protein diet - over 50 gm. protein/day gives negative

calcium balance. American men and women both take more than 50.

• Tobacco use - 1% loss/year

• Coffee use (1 cup) - 1.4% loss/year

• Deficiency of zinc, fluoride, magnesium

• High phosphorus intake: Soft drinks Processed meats Milk Processed cheese Red meats Baking powder Yeast Instant soups

Protein burdens the kidneys causing heavy

calcium losses

Less than 50 grams protein produces

positive calcium balance

More than 50 grams or protein produces a

negative calcium balance
