Importanta vitaminei C
Intre secolele XVI SI XVIII, lipsa fructelor si a zarzavaturilor proaspete in alimentatia navigatorilor a provocat moartea multora dintre ei prin scorbut.Pe atunci nu era cunoscuta cauza acestei boli: lipsa vitaminei C.
In anul 1534, navigatorul si descoperitorul francez Jaques Cartier, pornise de pe tarmurile Europei, impreuna cu o echipa de marinari, urcand pe fluviul Sf. Laurentiu, pentru a explora Canada. In largul marii, hrana acestora era constituita din carne uscata, mezeluri, pesmeti si peste. In prima parte a calatoriei, 26 dintre marinari au murit de scorbut. Dupa aproximativ trei luni, capitanul a luat dureroasa hotarare sa debarce o parte din oamenii echipajului sau pe o insula locuita de indigeni, pentru ca erau bolnavi de aceeasi boala. Se gandea, probabil, ca le va oferi astfel ocazia sa fie inmormantati in pamant-ultima dorinta a orcarui marinar-in loc sa-i coboare in apele adanci ale oceanului.
-Vom trece sa va luam la intoarcere! striga capitanul Cartier de la inaltimea corabiei sale catre marinarii bolnavi,parasiti acum pe plaja acelei insule. Dar toti cei care plecau erau ferm convinsi ca nu-i vor mai gasi in viata pe colegii lor.
Cateva luni mai tarziu, cand s-au intors din expeditie, Cartier si marinarii din echipaj au debarcat pe aceeasi indula si au avut parte de o surpriza placuta si plina de invataminte: toti cei care fusesera lasati pe insula erau in viata, vindecati si perfect restabiliti. Bastinasii ii hranisera cu grija cu alimente specifice acelor locuri: fructe proaspete, zarzavaturi si alte vegetale. Era dieta ideala impotriva scorbutului!
Alimentatia simpla si naturala a indigenilor le-a redat sanatatea si vigoarea acelor marinari, care se imbolnavisira de scorbut ca armure a dietei bazate pe carne si peste, dieta deficitata in vitamine si alte principii nutritive care se gasesc doar in vegetale.

Dairy products
Most dairy products-milk,cheese,butter and yogurt-sold in stores today are processed through pasteurization, and homogenization and consequently they are no longer whole foods.Choose the creamery style of butter and some of the famous cheeses from Austria, France, Switzerland and Italy,which are still made from raw, unpasteurized milk. Get in the habit of asking your retailer for unpasteurized products.
