 Why
Active Individuals need Whole Food Supplementation!

WHY I Use a Whole Food Supplement?
by Del Millers, Ph.D., November 2001
A recent lecture by Dr. Santillo, the author of Food Enzymes, The
Missing Link to Radiant Health, revealed important facts I'd like
to share.
1. "70% -90% of all medical conditions are diet related."
2. "Man's desired diet is seeds, nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables."
3. "The body heals itself when the proper nutrients are available."
Prevention of disease, as well as the relationship between nutrition
and disease
(specific to long-term, age-related diseases like cancer, heart
disease and stroke) are not new concepts…I simply wasn’t
particularly interested in them 10 years ago when I first started
my business!
NOW, however, I am absolutely interested in articles like the following.
This research has had a major impact on why I am using a fruit and
vegetable capsule as supplementation! Read on:

WHAT ARE THESE ARTICLES SAYING?
— 1 in 3 Americans will have cancer in their lifetimes; 20
years ago it was 1 in 10!
— The Framingham Study demonstrated that people who eat 6
servings/day of fruits and vegetables have 44% less risk of stroke;
9 servings/day yields a 66% reduction!
—A large study published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA), showed that 5 servings/week of green, leafy
vegetables cut the risk of macular degeneration, the most frequent
cause of blindness in people age 65+, by 43%.
— The National Cancer Institute recommends 5-9 servings/day
of raw fruits and vegetables to help prevent lung, breast, colon,
prostate cancers (by 50% or more)!
— The American Heart Association recommends the same diet
to slow down the atherosclerotic process and prevent heart disease
and stroke.
— YET, 95% of Americans are not getting 5-9 servings of produce
a day!! And if they were, they would be spending around $5-$15/day
on produce.
— Actually, only $1.77/week is spent by an individual for
fruits & vegetables and, worse, $7.07/week for a family of 4!
(1977; Produce Marketing Assoc. Statistic)
— And CHILDREN? 1 in 2 will develop heart disease; 1 in 3,
cancer! Degenerative diseases of the aged are now evidenced in children.
ADD and ADHD are on the rise! WHY? A study of 3112 children grades
2-6 proved almost _ didn’t eat even 1 fruit or vegetable in
a day! FOOD IS FUEL and they are running on empty!
