The Jeffrey Food List
Goal: eat close to nature, with the goal of nourishing the body’s blood.
That means eliminating the 4 whites:
sugar
white flour
dairy/cow milk products/fat
salt
Logic: sugar and white flour are refined and not close to nature; they are completely unnatural substances. Humans are the only mammals that still consume milk long pasts infancy (an unnatural act). Salt is natural but the amounts put in our food is unnatural.
