NEWSTART + 6 (Nutrition) Myths about Protein

(Genesis 1:29; 3:18; Isaiah 55:2; Psalms 103:4-5)

 “…Education should be given on proper diet…” (CD 406.4)

3 John 2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
 
“…Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health.”  {MH 127.1}
 
“…Become more intelligent in regard to the laws of life. . . .”  {11MR 187.3}
 
EDUCATE IN REGARD TO THE LAWS OF LIFE:
“…Educate people in regard to the laws of life…” {GCDB, January 30, 1893 par. 2}
 
“…EDUCATE, EDUCATE, EDUCATE…”  {6MR 379.1}
 
WHY?
“…Educate people in the laws of life so that they may know how to preserve health…” {MM 259.3)
 
“True religion and the laws of health go hand in hand.” (7T 137.1)
 
“…In violating the laws of health, even in doing the service of God, you misrepresent your maker…” {KC 20.4}

“We should educate ourselves, not only to live in harmony with the laws of health, but to teach others the better way…”  (CG 361.2)

“Too little attention is generally given to the preservation of health. It is far better to prevent disease than to know how to treat it when contracted…” (MH 128.1)

WHAT IS PROTEIN?

• Protein is one of the nutrients along with carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water.
• Protein is an essential nutrient.
• It is contained in every part of your body, the skin, muscles, hair, blood, body organs, eyes, even fingernails and bone.

STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS:

• Proteins are composed of small units.
• These units are the amino acids which are called the building blocks of protein.
• There are about 21 different amino acids which are commonly known.
• There are 13 non-essential Amino acids, and 8 essential, meaning you have to get them from the food you eat.
• Each different protein is composed of various amino acids put together in varying order with just about limitless combinations.
• Most proteins are large molecules that may contain several hundred amino acids arranged in branches and chain
• If you were to ask your average child whether they would rather grow bigger faster or live longer, chances are they would choose the growing as fast as possible.
• As early as the 1930's, research on animals began to show evidence that high-protein diets accelerated growth rate in maturity, but shortened the life span.
• In the past, many people believed that when it came to protein, one could never get too much.TODAY, scientific evidence shows otherwise.

SOOOO...WHERE DID THIS PROTEIN MYTH COME FROM?

• Back in 1880, a famous German Scientist named Dr. Justus von Liebig, pronounced Lee-big, determined the thought that muscles were made of protein.
• From this discovery, he concluded that muscular strength was dependent upon eating large amounts of protein foods.
• Later, his protoge' Dr. Carl Voit, from watching coal miners, calculated that these strong, muscular meat eaters need about 120 grams of protein a day.
• From this observation, he concluded in his mind that this must be the amount necessary for the body each day.
• Although the beliefs of these great men were later proven to be wrong, their beliefs caused a world-wide concern over getting enough protein: a concern that exists even today.

BUT HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO WE REALLY NEED?

• Over the years, estimates of experts have often been revised, and most are now recommending less and even less protein.
• THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES has set the U.S. recommended daily allowance, AKA the RDA for protein of 60 grams for the average man and 45 grams for most women.
• THE WORLD HEALTH'S ORGANIZATION (WHO) say 50 grams for the average adult is sufficient.
• But, most recent research is showing that people only need 1 gram of protein for every 5 pounds of weight.
• And that is the weight they should be, not the weight they may be with excess pounds.

• For example, if a person weighs 300 lbs., but should only weigh about 180, you would go by the 180#.
• Then you would take that weight and divide it by 5. So 180 divided by 5 = 36
• So this person would eat 36 grams of protein minimum, not exceeding the 50 recommended by the WHO.
• The Average American in 2014, in just 3 meals, is consuming an average of 180 grams of protein a day.
• So, according to the experts of what is a healthy amount to consume, Americans are eating 3 to 4 x that amount.
• In addition to our already high protein consumption, various diets have received much attention in recent years, encouraging the use of even greater amounts of protein foods.
• These high protein diets have been promoted to enhance weight loss and athletic performance, but the long-term effects, according to scientific research show the following problems to be related to this. As a matter of fact, have you ever heard of the Atkins Diet? This is the diet that recommends you eat very little carbohydrates, and lots of protein and fat. The founder of this very diet happened to die of heart disease. Why? Because this is one of the side effects of a high-protein diet. Remember, Jesus gave 5 loaves of bread (carbs) and only 2 fish (protein)

And following are many more complications related to too much protein in the diet:

HEALTH DANGERS RELATED TO CONSUMING TOO MUCH PROTEIN:

1. Elevates Blood Pressure

2. Elevates Triglycerides and LDL (The majority of the protein eaten in America comes from animal sources, like meat, eggs, and dairy products. These are all high in cholesterol, fat, and saturated fats, which are known to promote narrowed and hardened arteries, accelerated aging, and a shortened life span)

3. Causes a Depletion of Vitamins and Minerals

4. Responsible In The Formation Of Gout

5. Heart Disease (Clogs Arteries)

6. Increase in Liver Enzymes

7. Dehydration which can lead to a host of many other problems.

8. Loss of Calcium, which happens during urination.

9. Intestinal Irritation, this can exacerbate problems like IBS and others.

10. Nutritional Deficiencies

11. Osteoporosis - It's interesting to know that around the world, the countries where people eat less animal protein experience much less osteoporosis and hip fractures

12. Kidney Stones

13. Kidney Problems

14. Cancer (A high intake of animal protein has been shown to promote the growth of several cancers)

15: Sexual Maturity development at a much younger age than the past.

• Due to high fat, high protein diet, today's boys and girls grow bigger and develop a lot faster.
• From 1850-1995, the average age of sexual maturity for teenage girls in America went down from 16.3 to 11.9 years of age, and some as young as 9 or 10.
• An early age of sexual maturity is associated with earlier sexual activity and a rise in teenage pregnancy.
• In Puerto Rico, there have been found many children, especially girls, at the age of 5 yrs old to already be going through puberty.
• In addition, young women who experience sexual maturity at an earlier age have been shown to have a greater risk of breast cancer and heart disease.
• Another large myth in the U.S. used to be that protein can only be found in animal products, but over the last several decades, it has been shown that Protein is available from both animal and plant sources.
• The typical U.S. diet is a mixture of protein sources.
• A variety in choices will provide an adequate diet.

SOME INFO TO KNOW:

• Another large myth in the U.S. used to be that protein can only be found in animal products, but over the last several decades, it has been shown that Protein is available from both animal and plant sources.
• The typical U.S. diet is a mixture of protein sources.
• A variety of choices will provide an adequate diet.

The following shows the protein content in some typical foods.

FOOD AMOUNT PROTEIN IN GRAMS:

***The following are some examples of how easy it is to get protein.

ANIMAL PRODUCTS:

• 3 Egg Ham and Cheese Omelet - 46 grams
• Big Mac - 26 grams
• Fried Chicken(basket) like from Popeye’s or KFC - 48 grams
• Chicken 3 oz. - 20 grams
• 3 oz. of meat is just the palm of your hand, yet at one meal, most Americans eat 3-4 x that much. Experts say that no more than 3 oz. total of meat should be consumed in a day because the other grams can be found in the grains, fruit, vegetables, beans, etc. which they recommend being consumed daily.
• Ground beef 3 oz. - 21 grams
• Pork chop, lean 2 oz. - 15 grams
• Egg 1 - 6 grams
• Cheddar cheese 1 oz. - 7 grams

***All excess protein leeches out through the urine, thus causing a loss of protein, causing bone problems.

PLANT PRODUCTS:

• Beans ¾ cup - 11 grams
• Peanut Butter 2 Tbsp. - 8 grams
• Bread 1 slice - 2 grams
• Cooked Cereal ½ cup - 2 grams
• Dry Cereal 1 oz. - 4 grams
• Rice ½ cup - 5 grams
• Nuts 2 Tbsp. - 5 grams
• Soybeans ½ cup - 10 grams
• Cooked vegetables ½ cup - 2 grams

***All plant foods have some source of protein.

***Science is now showing that you do not have to mix a grain and a legume at one meal to get your complete protein.

MILK:
“MILK… should not be classed with flesh meat…” {CD 356.1}  (1902)
 
THE HISTORY OF MILK CONSUMPTION AMONG GOD’S PEOPLE:
“…salt, sugar, and MILK…We know that a free use of these things is positively injurious to health, and, in many cases, we think that if they were not used at all, a much better state of health would be enjoyed. But at present our burden is not upon these things. The people are so far behind that we see it is all they can bear to have us draw the line upon their injurious indulgences and stimulating narcotics. We bear positive testimony against tobacco, spirituous liquors, snuff, tea, coffee, flesh meats, butter, spices, rich cakes, mince pies, a large amount of salt, and all exciting substances used as articles of food.” (These last things mentioned should be dealt with first) {3T 21.1} (1871)
 
“We appreciate your experience as a physician, and yet I say that MILK and eggs should be included in your diet. These things cannot AT PRESENT (1901) be dispensed with, and the doctrine of dispensing with them should not be taught.”  {CD 204.2}   ***Written in 1901
 
“…The time will soon come when there will be no safety in using eggs, MILK, cream, or butter, because disease in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men…” (CD 460.4) (1902)   ***Notice she says SOON COME, and it has!
 
“…As disease in animals increases, the use of MILK and eggs will become more and more unsafe. An effort should be made to supply their place with other things that are healthful and inexpensive. The people everywhere should be taught how to cook without milk and eggs, so far as possible, and yet have their food wholesome and palatable.” {CD 365.2}
 
“But I wish to say that when the time comes that it is no longer safe to use MILK, cream, butter, and eggs, God will reveal this...” {CD 353.3} (That Time Is Here)
 
“Let the diet reform be progressive. Let the people be taught how to prepare food without the use of milk... Tell them that the time will soon come when there will be no safety in using eggs, MILK, cream or butter, because disease in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men. The time is near when, because of iniquity of the fallen race, the whole animal creation will groan under the diseases that curse our earth…”  {CD 460.4} (1902)
 
MILK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FROM A HEALTHY COW:
“…We think a moderate amount of milk from a healthy cow not objectionable.”  (CD 357.6)(1870)
 
COWS TODAY NOT HEALTHY:
“…A cow may be apparently well in the morning and die before night. Then she was diseased in the morning, and her milk was diseased, but you did not know it. The animal creation is diseased…”
(CD 330.3) (1870)

THE DANGERS OF MILK TODAY:
COWS HAVE BEEN TESTED POSITIVE FOR:

GOOD INFORMATION TO KNOW ABOUT MILK:
MILK SHOULD NOT BE MIXED WITH SUGAR:
“Sugar and milk combined are liable to cause FERMENTATION in the stomach, and are thus harmful.”
{CD 196.4}
 
IT’S BETTER TO EAT FLESH FOOD THAN THE COMBINATION OF MILK & SUGAR TOGETHER:
“I would recommend that people eat flesh meats sooner than large quantities of milk and sugar. It would not do the injury that milk and sugar do…” {CD 330.3}
 
EGGS:
THE HISTORY OF EGG CONSUMPTION AMONG US:
“The poor say, when health reform is presented to them, “What shall we eat? We cannot afford to buy the nut foods.”  As I preach the gospel to the poor, I am instructed to tell them to eat that food which is most nourishing. I cannot say to them, “You must not eat EGGS or milk or cream. You must use no butter in the preparation of food.” The gospel must be preached to the poor, and the time has not yet come to prescribe the strictest diet (today -- it has become that time)…”   {CD 353.2} (1901)
 
“But I wish to say that when the time comes that it is no longer safe to use MILK, cream, butter, and EGGS, God will reveal this. No extremes in health reform are to be advocated. The question of using milk and butter and EGGS will work out its own problem...” {CD 353.3} (1901) God has revealed that in 2016 it is no longer safe to use these items.
 
“Milk, EGGS, and butter should not be classed with flesh meat. In some cases the use of EGGS is beneficial. The time has not come to say that the use of milk and EGGS should be wholly discarded…” {CD 356.1}  (1902) the time has now come
“Use EGGS from hens that are well cared for and suitably fed. EGGS contain properties that are remedial agencies in counteracting certain poisons.” {CD 207.4}

• Albumen is one of those remedial agencies found in egg.

• Eggs mixed in grape juice is excellent for those who are anemic and are very weak.

• In today’s day, you have to be very careful using any eggs

 
GRAPE JUICE AND EGGS:
“I have received light that you are injuring your body by a poverty-stricken diet. . . . It is the lack of suitable food that has caused you to suffer so keenly. You have not taken the food essential to nourish your frail physical strength. You must not deny yourself of good, wholesome food...Get EGGS of healthy fowls. Use these eggs cooked or raw. Drop them uncooked into the best unfermented wine you can find. This will supply that which is necessary to your system. . . . Eggs contain properties which are remedial agencies in counteracting poisons.” (CD 203-204) (To Dr. D. H. Kress, 1901) {2SM 303.1}
 
“When you see that you are becoming weak physically, it is essential for you to makes changes, and at once. Put into your diet something you have left out. It is your duty to do this.  Get EGGS of healthy fowls. Use these eggs cooked or raw. Drop them uncooked into the best unfermented wine you can find. [DR. KRESS ACCEPTED THIS COUNSEL. HE FOLLOWED THE RAW-EGG AND GRAPE-JUICE REGIMEN REGULARLY UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1956 AT THE AGE OF 94.] This will supply that which is necessary to your system. Do not for a moment suppose that it will not be right to do this. There is one thing that has saved life--an infusion of blood from one person to another; but this would be difficult and perhaps impossible for you to do. I merely suggest it.” {12MR 168.2} written in 1901
 
It’s apparent that Dr. Kress was suffering from anemia. Because a blood transfusion was almost impossible to get back in those days, the grape juice + raw egg remedy was recommended.  It saved his life. This remedy gives energy and helps with weakness due to anemia.  But just remember, that remedy was suggest back in 1901 when it was not time to say eggs were unfit for consumption.
 
“The diet reform should be progressive. As disease in animals increases, the use of milk and EGGS will become more and more unsafe. An effort should be made to supply their place with other things that are healthful and inexpensive. The people everywhere should be taught how to cook without milk and...” {CD 365.2} (1905)
 
“Tell them that the time will soon come when there will be no safety in using EGGS, milk, cream, or butter, because disease in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men. The time is near when, because of the iniquity of the fallen race, the whole animal creation will groan under the diseases that curse our earth.”  {7T 135.1}  ***Written on August 20, 1902
 
“God will give His people ability and tact to prepare wholesome food without these things...”  {7T 135.2}  ***Written on August 20, 1902***
 
A POSITIVE SIGN FOR US IN THESE DAYS THAT EGGS ARE NO LONGER SAFE TO USE:

• The fact that chickens have the bird flu.

• The recalling of 500 million eggs in August 2010

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/38741401/ns/health-food_safety/t/recall-expands-more-half-billion-eggs/
http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/eggs/
 
***Egg shells have over 8,000 microscopic pores, so it is very easy for Salmonella and other bacteria to penetrate the egg through the shell.

FROM DR. MICHAEL GREGER MD: DEBUNKING THE EGG INDUSTRY MYTH

• Egg yolks alone in non-smokers was associated with artery clogging plaque build-up was nearly ⅔ as bad as smoking.
• Eggs are the #1 source of cholesterol in the diet.
• Blood cholesterol concentration is clearly increased by adding dietary cholesterol.
• One year in the life of a study subject showed an increase in cholesterol when eggs were added to the diet.

And cholesterol lowered when eggs were removed from the same person’s diet.

• Do eggs increase our risk of cardiovascular disease or not?
• In compilations of all the best studies going back to 1930.  When you put them all together, what do we find?

Those who eat the most eggs have:

A 19% increased risk of cardiovascular disease

A 68% increased risk of diabetes

And once you get diabetes

      An 85% risk of heart disease

• A single egg a day was associated with a significant increase in heart disease.
• Just over ½ an egg a day could increase heart disease risk between 6 and 40%.

And the risk of diabetes by 29%

• Everyone’s best bet is to just LEAVE EGGS ALONE ALTOGETHER.

THE DRAWBACKS OF EATING EGGS:

• High in saturated fat
• Responsible for almost as much plaque build-up in the arteries as smoking cigarettes
• Increases the risk of developing Type II Diabetes
• The fats in eggs may harm the liver, by causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
• High in Toxins
• High incidence of Salmonella poisoning
• High in cholesterol
• They alter your bio-chemical, genetic, and molecular make-up

HEALTH HAZARDS RELATED TO THE CONSUMPTION OF EGGS:

• Arthritis
• Breast cancer
• Diabetes
• Fibroid tumors
• Heart attacks
• Heart Disease
• Impotence
• Infertility
• Inflammation (1 egg can cause inflammation in the body for up to 30 days)
• Menstrual Irregularities
• Migraines
• Plaque Build up
• Uterine cysts

BUTTER:

“…BUTTER…freely partaken of by both old and young. These things do their work in…

• Deranging the stomach,
• Exciting the nerves, and
• Enfeebling the intellect,
• The blood-making organs cannot convert such things into good blood…” (CTBH 46.3)

“BUTTER AND MEAT

• Stimulate. These have
• Injured the stomach and
• Perverted the taste.
• The sensitive nerves of the brain have been benumbed, and
• The animal appetite strengthened at the expense of the moral and intellectual faculties. These higher powers, which should control, have been growing weaker, so that
• Eternal things have not been discerned.
• Paralysis has benumbed the spiritual and devotional…” (CD 48.2)

“Because we from principle discard the use of meat, BUTTER, mince pies, spices, lard, and that which irritates the stomach and destroys health, the idea should never be given that it is of but little consequence what we eat.”  {CD 198.4}

 

“I wish to say that when the time comes that it is no longer safe to use…BUTTER…God will reveal this. No extremes in health reform are to be advocated. The question of using milk and BUTTER and eggs will work out its own problem. At present we have no burden on this line. Let your moderation be known unto all men.”  {CD 206.4}

 

*** BUTTER IS NO LONGER SAFE TODAY***

 

“You place upon your tables BUTTER, eggs, and meat, and your children partake of them. They are fed with the very things that will excite their animal passions, and then you come to meeting and ask God to bless and save your children. How high do your prayers go? You have a work to do first. When you have done all for your children which God has left for you to do, then you can with confidence claim the special help that God has promised to give you.” (CD 245.3}

 

“Many do not feel that this [COOKING] is a matter of duty, hence they do not try to prepare food properly. This can be done in a simple, healthful, and easy manner, without the use of lard, BUTTER, or flesh meats. Skill must be united with simplicity. To do this, women must read, and then patiently reduce what they read to practice…Learn how to cook with simplicity, and yet in a manner to secure the most palatable and healthful food.” {CD 260.1}

 

 ***Remember, we’re counseled to read HOW TO LIVE, to know how to cook.  {1T 680.2}

 

“We do not think fried potatoes are healthful, for there is more or less grease or butter used in preparing them. Good baked or boiled potatoes served with cream and a sprinkling of salt are the most healthful…”

 (CD 323.1)

 

“BUTTER should NOT be placed on the table…”  {CD 350.4}

***REMEMBER, this was written over 100 years ago…today it is no longer safe to use!!!

 

“Great reforms are to be made. Many changes will be required as we strive to advance the cause of reform. Reforms are not to be brought in as innovations, but as natural consequences. Then they will be great blessings.” {HFM 50.1}

 

There is danger that in presenting the principles of health reform, some will be in favor of bringing in changes that would be for the worse instead of for the better. Health reform must not be urged in a radical manner. As the situation now is, we cannot say that milk and eggs and butter should be entirely discarded…”

{HFM 50.2} (1901)

 

***REMEMBER:  This was written in 1901, but Science is proving today that butter is not healthful.

 

“Let the diet reform be progressive. Let the people be taught how to prepare food without the use milk or BUTTER. Tell them that the time will soon come when there will be no safety in using eggs, milk, cream, or BUTTER, because disease in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men. The time is near when, because of the iniquity of the fallen race, the whole animal creation will groan under the diseases that curse our earth.” {CD 349.1}  (written in 1902)

 

“I eat but two meals a day, and still follow the light given me thirty-five years ago. I use no meat. As for myself, I HAVE SETTLED THE BUTTER QUESTION.  I DO NOT USE IT. This question should easily be settled in every place...” {CD 351.1} (1898)

 

“BUTTER is less harmful when eaten on cold bread than when used in cooking; but, as a rule, it is better to dispense with it altogether.” (CD 349.3)(1905)

 

“…The advantages sought by the use of BUTTER may be obtained by the eating of properly prepared olives…” (CD 349.4)

 

“We must remember that there are a great many different minds in the world, and we cannot expect everyone to see exactly as we do in regard to all questions of diet. Minds do not run in exactly the same channel. I do not eat butter, but there are members of my family who do. It is not placed on my table; but I make no disturbance because some members of my family choose to eat it occasionally. Many of our conscientious brethren have butter on their tables, and I feel under no obligation to force them to do otherwise. These things should never be allowed to cause disturbance among brethren. I CANNOT SEE THE NEED OF BUTTER, where there is abundance of fruit and of sterilized cream.”  {CD 351.3}  (1904) ***Remember though, we are to teach them to cook without the use of these things***

 

“…If your husband enjoys dairy BUTTER, let him eat it until he is convinced that this is not best for his health.” {CD 352.2} (1901)   ***That was written in 1901…now we should be showing people a better way.

HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO THE CONSUMPTION OF BUTTER

• Arteriosclerosis
• Heart Disease
• High Blood Pressure
• Increased cholesterol
• And MORE

A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT BUTTER:

• Butter anciently was not a common article of food as at the present day. The Greeks and Romans used it only for medicinal purposes.  {1919 SNH, BHB 167.8}
• “…11,000,000 cows supply 40,000,000 inhabitants with milk, butter, and cheese, and allow large exports of the latter article.At least 255,000,000 gallons of milk are sold annually. The annual butter product of our country now is more than 500,000,000 pounds, and of cheese, 70,000,000. There are now about 30,000,000 horned cattle in the United States, equal in average quality to those of any country in the world.  {1887 UrS, MANA 35.2}

• “…The cow gives us milk, butter, glue, leather for our shoes and carriage and harness, and hair for plastering.  {January 18, 1894 EJW, PTUK 45.6}

BUTTER IS NOT MARGARINE: MARGARINE IS NOT BUTTER:

• In imposing a fine upon an East Ham tradesman for selling margarine as butter, and who pleaded that it was an assistant's mistake, the magistrate very pertinently replied that “it is curious that the mistake is always in favour of the tradesman,” and that one never hears of butter being sold as margarine. There is a sermon in that. {July 11, 1901 EJW, PTUK 444.9}

• Circulars had been sent us by Mr. Alex. J. Wedderburn, editor of the National Farm and Fireside, advocating the bills now before Congress in favor of pure food and pure lard. We hope they will pass. They ought to pass. Pure food is necessary to health. If a man purchases flour, it not plaster of Paris or ground tale. If he purchases butter, he wants butter, not oleomargarine…”

{February 25, 1889 EJW, SITI 128.11}

MARGARINE IS 1 MOLECULE AWAY FROM BEING PLASTIC, AND IS NOT A FOOD AND NOT HEALTHY AT ALL.

FROM THE PIONEERS:
“We bear positive testimony against tobacco, spirituous liquors, sNuff [sic.], tea, coffee, flesh-meats, BUTTER, spices, rich cakes, mince pies, a large amount of salt, and all exciting substances used as articles of food.”  —Vol. III, p. 21.” {September 1894 ATJ, HOMI 205.14}

 
“Why are butter and animal oils and fats, objectionable as articles of food?” {1868 JNL, HBH 189.1}

They are too concentrated for human aliment. They are but slightly nutritious, and are filled with impure material, comparing very well with venous blood for impurity. They contain about 80 per cent of carbon, and hence, furnish additional labor to the lungs to expel this from the system. BUTTER, when taken into the system, takes the form of an animal oil. These oils float upon the top of the food, and remain in the stomach till all the other portions of food have been chymified and passed from the stomach. Hence, they are liable to generate rancid acids in the stomach, and even when the food has passed from the stomach, these oils are not digested until bile - in the unnatural way mentioned in the last chapter - passes from the duodenum to the stomach, and turns the oil into a saponaceous substance before it can be acted upon by the gastric juice, and digested. BUTTER…should NEVER be used in a MELTED form, nor upon anything hot enough to melt it.” {1868 JNL, HBH 189.2}

“Cases of cholera continue to occur in the South of France. A German says the cholera bacillus will live three days in milk, eight days on cooked meat, and one day on bread-and-BUTTER.”  {August 3, 1893 EJW, PTUK 286.17}
 
HEALTH PROBLEMS DUE TO THE CONSUMPTION OF BUTTER:
“And the painful sores which came upon my under lip every few weeks in former years, have absolutely discontinued their visitations. These things i attribute largely to the entire disuse of BUTTER…” {1890 JW, BHY 267.2}
 
RECIPES:
ALMOND MILK:
1 c. blanched almonds
2 c. water + 2 additional cups of water
6 dates
Pinch real salt
Put blanched almonds + 2 c. water in a blender.  Blend on high for 90 seconds in a power blender and 2-3 minutes in a regular blender. Strain blended mixture in a nut milk bag or a cheese cloth.  Rinse blender and put strained milk back into blender.  Add 2 additional cups of water, 6 dates, pinch of salt, and the vanilla powder.  Blend x 30 to 60 seconds.  Pour into container and refrigerate.
 
SCRAMBLED TOFU
1 block x firm tofu (use water packed, and OG or non-GMO)
2-3 T. chicken style seasoning (homemade so it is MSG free)
½ t. garlic powder
½ t. onion powder
1 ½ t. real salt
1 T. dried onion flakes OR ½ large onion diced
⅛ t. turmeric (this is for coloring and is optional
Sautee fresh or dried onion in 2 Tablespoons of water.  Add crumbled tofu (have some chunks in it) and all the seasoning and let set on each side until brown.  You may add broccoli and or carrots if desired. If so, sauté with onion.
 
HEALTHY BUTTER
If you want the best tasting thing next to real butter, you have to try this recipe. Now I'm going to warn you, it is high in fat, but it’s all plant fat. There is ZERO CHOLESTEROL in this recipe. However, you still want to use it sparingly. This stuff tastes just like the real thing, and melts like it too. It's better than any vegan butters on the market because it doesn't have hidden MSG (hidden under the name of pea protein or soy protein), Canola Oil, food coloring, etc. There's only 5 ingredients.
 
YOU CAN USE IT FOR:
1. Spreading on corn-on-the-cob
2. Spreading on toast
3. Use in cookie recipes
4. It even pops popcorn
5. Melting on your steamed veggies
6. Sauté onions and/or garlic
8. Use in just about any recipe that calls for butter

BUTTER
¾ c. olive oil (mild tasting or your butter will taste like olive oil)
2 T. lecithin oil or 4 T. lecithin granules  
1 T.  + 1 t. salt

1 ¼ c. coconut oil (Do not use extra virgin because your butter will taste like coconut and not butter. The  LouAna brand is good and you can get it at Wal-Mart, WinCo, or Vitacost)

1 c. water

Put the above in a blender, but do not blend as of yet. After you put those 3 ingredients in the blender, in a container, measure 1 c. of water with 1 T. salt. Whisk real well till the salt is completely dissolved (be sure the container you use to put the water in is big enough to add both the water and the salt so that will allow you to mix without the water falling all out). Turn on the blender for about 30 seconds till the first 3 ingredients are creamy, then pour in the salt water while the blender is still running and continue blending for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let this sit in your blender for a couple of minutes, then pour into small containers (I use the plastic ones from the Gerber baby food).
 
***I have a Vitamix and did my speed on low variable up to around number 7.
FREEZE. Even after it freezes, you can still take a butte knife and get the butter out like real butter. It's the same exact consistency, same color, etc. It looks just like real butter....ENJOY!!!
 
WHIPPED CREAM
2 cans of Coconut Milk (I use Tropics Coconut Milk by Gata)
2 T. raw sugar (turn some raw sugar into powder in your blender and then measure 2 Tbsp. for this recipe)
 
1. Refrigerate the 2 cans of coconut milk overnight
2. Take cans out of fridge and scrape the solidified fat from the sides of the can
3. Drain the milk from the can (you are not going to use this part for the whipped cream) and then scoop the coconut fat from both cans and put into a mixing bowl with the other 2 ingredients.
4. Use egg beater/mixer and whip on medium x about 5 minutes or until it looks like whipped cream texture.
