According to Cornell University circa
1968, a complete diet that would sustain
you, given the RDA figures then, could
be got by a bread that used stone ground
flour, added a table spoon of wheat germ,
same of farina, 1/2 cup of skim milk
powder, and 3 ounces of soy flour. The
bread may allow that no specific dietary
or vitamin deficiencies take place. It was
given the name of Cornell bread. Theory
was that you don't need anything else to
survive.
The RDA figures were only arrived at
statistically and they basically ignore
some of the bodies needs that it gets
from characteristics of some foods, in
that they scour the intestines, promote
digestion, inhibit bacteria and donate
some chemicals to our body that we have
only recently begun to understand we may
need. The effect of fruit and vegetables
in promoting health and fighting cancers
by boosting the immune system and eliminating
free radicals has only recently been guessed
at recently. We know the effect is there,
why we are not sure. The vitamin craze was
based on studies of health cancer rates
amongst people who raw ate fruit. It was
not demonstrated that it was the vitamins
that were doing it. The fruit body itself
may be what is needed.
