Twain Spiritual harmony (control of stress) Physical exercise Proper nutrition PLASTICS & ENVIRONMENT 90 billion kilogram of plastics produced every year. 10 % of that ends up in our oceans, of which 70 % sinks (Polycarbonate, Polystyrene, and PETE), causing damage to the ocean floor, & 30 % that floats, accumulates into massive islands of trash (LDPE, HDPE, Polypropylene and foamed plastics). A United Nations report claims that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic in every square mile (=2.6 sq.km) of ocean. GLOBAL WARMING - ANNUAL COSTS BISPHENOL-A (BPA) IN FOCUS BPA (bisphenol-A) in the lining of food cans, dental sealants, paper money, receipts and other products One study reports that eating canned goods increases urinary BPA concentrations more than 1,000-fold. Higher levels of urinary BPA associated with an increased risk of heart disease, miscarriage, birth defects, and Down syndrome. High levels of BPA is also associated to obesity, insulin resistance(diabetes) and cancer. ATT BETÄNKA: Natural Resources Defense Council, estimates the annual damage of global warming by the end of the century to be as much as Cirka 25 procent av den genomsnittliga svenskens klimatavtryck kommer från maten. $1.9 trillion USD Resten försvinner bl. a. som kroppsvärme hos djuren. Nötkött orsakar 40 ggr högre utsläpp än t.ex. bönor, kyckling ”bara” 4 ggr. Av den energi som nötkreatur konsumerar blir bara 2 procent kvar som kött, grisar 10 %, kyckling 15 %. 2 2013-05-05 SLÄNGD MAT – ETT MILJÖPROBLEM I Storbrittanien slänger man 28 procent av den mat, som burits hem. I Sverige slänger varje år ca 910 000 ton mat, eller 56 kilo/person = 8000 SEK per familj. = 1.9 milj ton koldioxid per år, motsvarande ett årligt utsläpp av cirka 700 000 bilar eller 460 000 eldade villor. Råd i ICA-kuriren: - Tro inte blint på datummärkning. - Mögel betyder inte automatiskt släng – det beror på typ av matvara. Skär bort mögel på hårdost. Lyfta bort möglet från marmeladen. - Använd hela grönsaken så blir det mindre spill. - På broccoli kan du koka även stammen, skuren i skivor. - Fräsch blast på till exempel rödbeta, knipplök och morot går att använda i wok och grytor, och också i smoothies.

Friday Aug 18.2011 Once known for his love of barbecue and impromptu stops at McDonald's, former President Bill Clinton has radically changed his diet, dropped weight and improved his health. The former junk food lover now calls himself a vegan, shunning meat, eggs, dairy and almost all oil. "I like the vegetables, the fruits, the beans, the stuff I eat now," Clinton tells CNN. After experiencing periodic heart problems leading up to the 2004 surgery, Clinton has now lost 20 lbs. and says: "I feel good, and I also have … more energy." 15 2013-05-05 PLANT-BASED DIET & CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE Esselstyn CB Prev Cardiol. 2001;4:171–177 Jean Carper ISBN: 978-0-09-183951-9 Vermillon, London UK 2010 • Safe: grains, legumes, lentils, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds • Unsafe: oils, dairy foods, meat, poultry, & fish (frequently containing unacceptable levels of PCBs, dioxin, and mercury) ”Sedan 1997, då min yngre syster fick bröstcancer, bara 30 år gammal, har jag varit mycket intresserad av kostens och mikrobiotans betydelse för uppkomst av inflammatoriska processer och cancersjukdomar.

Både hon och jag gick då över till raw food och under en tvåmånadersperiod åt vi endast färska grönsaker, frukt, bär, nötter och frön.

The meat-eater's desire for meat drives another to kill and provide that meat. The act of the butcher begins with the desire of the consumer. Meat-eating contributes to a mentality of violence, for with the chemically complex meat ingested, one absorbs the slaughtered creature's fear, pain and terror.” MORMONS & HEALTH Enstrom JE, Breslow L. Prev Med 2008;46:133-136 Mormons (in the US > 6 mill) live by a health code called the "Word of Wisdom." They abstain from alcohol, tobacco, tea coffee, and emphasize fresh vegetables, to honor the body - the temple of the spirit. I Cor. 3:16-17 Mormon males have a life expectancy of 84.1 years — 9.8 years longer than that of U.S. white males (comp Sweden 78.7, globe 67.5). Mormon females had a life expectancy of 86.1 years — 5.6 years longer than U.S. white females. (comp Sweden 83.0, globe 73.3). ADVENTISTS & HEALTH The church (members World 13 mill, USA 1 mill) recommends vegetarianism and expects adherence to the “kosher” laws in Leviticus 11: special abstinence from pork, shellfish, and other foods proscribed as "unclean“; alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs, some avoid coffee, tea, cola containing caffeine. Life expectancy of a vegetarian Adventist woman is 85.7 years (Sweden 83.0), and 83.3 years (Sweden 78.7) for a vegetarian Adventist man, exceeding Le of other Californians by 6.1 years for women and 9.5 years for men.
