Refined Sugars

White refined sugar is known to be the same as cocaine. It is so bad for you; you never want to touch it, ever. Not all sugars are equal.

People don't realize that sugar that comes in an apple, although it is called sugar, is extremely different than sugar that comes in a piece of cake. Once you cook sugar, it is completely different. Anything that is refined is taken out of context. If you took sugar cane, and juiced it and drank the sugar cane, that is good for you, because that is a whole food kind of a product, where all the minerals are in the sugar, everything that is supposed to come as a complete package with the sugar to balance it out comes. That is the same way an apple works, you eat an apple, you get good fruit sugar, and you also get all these vitamins, all these minerals, the rest of the package, and the body assimilates all things together.

When you refine the sugar, you cook it, and then you take just the sucrose part, just the white refined part; it destabilizes your body intensely.

Blood pH is very narrow latitude, a very narrow stream; the same thing applies with blood sugar. Your blood sugar levels have also to be maintained at a very specific level. One of the problems with all of our society is that our blood sugar level is out of whack, that is the diabetes epidemic that we are in the middle of. White refined sugar changes your blood sugar level so quickly that it is almost impossible for you to sort it out, it is really difficult. White refined sugar might be one of the worst things you can put in your body besides fried foods. Simply avoid it at all costs. There are a lot of wonderful alternatives. There is agave nectar, there is maple syrup if you needed it, and anything that is coming as kind of a whole food, not a refined product is going to be fine.

Do not be fooled into thinking that honey is healthy. Honey is not healthy. Honey behaves exactly the same as white refined sugar when it comes to your blood sugar levels. It is just exactly the same. So as destructive as white sugar is, honey is the same thing. 

Why is honey that way? Because honey is what is called a pre-digested sugar. There are other pre-digested sugars on earth like alcohol. The speed with which alcohol hits your blood stream, honey does the same thing. Honey and white refined sugar are very similar. White refined sugar may be one of the worst things that we can eat; it should be avoided at all costs. There are plenty of alternatives for all of this stuff, like you can bake easily without using any of this stupid sugar.

Detox Talks (VIDEO)

The intention for detox talks is to give you the technology to live extremely intelligently. Detox is designed to give you a chance to uplift your vibration to give you a chance to vibrate in the higher frequency, see higher truth. But ultimately the real value of this is in the rest of your life and not a short period of time.

Generally speaking, most of your energy in your life is being used in what is being called "digestion." Most of the energy in your life is being used for trying to break down the stuff that you eat, and let's not even call it food, We will just call it stuff, because most of what we eat is not food. So since, in our regular life, 80% of our energy is dedicated to just trying to sort out this offensive stuff that we are putting into our body.

Generally, our bodies on have 20% of its energy to actually open its eyes and think and function, and heal itself. What happens is, when you limit the amount of calories that your body is taking, you limit the amount of energy that your body has to expend on digesting stuff that is not food, you limit the amount of energy that you have to waste every day. When you do that for a few 5 days, you free up a large reservoir of energy that was formally being wasted on trying to "digest the food." Once you create an environment where you are getting everything you need, vitamins, minerals, sugar, all that stuff, you get it all, but you are not getting anything extra and you are not getting anything that is difficult for your body to deal with, and so in doing that, you are creating an environment where your body now has a lot of extra energy.

All kinds of stuff accumulate in your cells, all kinds of stuff are in different pockets of your body and your body just doesn't really have the energy to deal with it because you are distracting it by doing everything else. So without having the energy to deal with it, it just stays there and it keeps your vibration low, and keeps you kind of feeling a little weird and not connected to God and not stable minded, anxious, all the little symptoms that happen from having toxicity in your body.

Let us free our bodies from toxicity so we can experience our full potential.

Our Species

The key theme of food talks is that eating more intelligently is not difficult, and that one doesn’t have to eat 100% different or change in any kind of major way. In fact, if you just change a little bit at a time, it is called a positive feedback cycle, and it is a snowball. So if only one time, you were going to grab a candy bar but instead you grab an apple or a banana and that only happened once in the next 55 years, don't think that is insignificant. The fact is, if we just do very small things, it makes a huge difference, not a small difference; you do one smart thing, it makes you stronger mentally and physically, giving you the potential to do another smart thing later on, and it builds up like a snowball. Eventually it just becomes very easy to act more intelligently.

We are primates and there are two kinds of primates that exist; monkeys and apes. The difference between monkeys and apes is that monkeys have tails, and apes do not have tails.

There is something called digestive anatomy, which means that if you analyze a species’ intestinal design, if you analyze the design of the actual digestive track, you actually can figure out what they eat. Biologist know, without even seeing what the animal is, they just open up the animal, look at the design of the intestinal track and determine whether it is a carnivore, or herbivore, or a fruit eating animal just because of the design. Now, if you were to take one of the apes and lay them on the floor dead, split them all open including one human, you are going to see exactly the same intestinal track. We have the same design, same digestive anatomy as they do. What you see is that, you have intestines that are 12 times the length of the torso.

The thing about comparative anatomy like this is that there is no exception. If the design of the anatomy is X, then they eat X. The will never eat Y because there are no exceptions to this. We have the same digestive system as all these other primates, all these other great apes, and so that means that we are meant to be eating the same thing that they are eating. And so, we are what are called fruibivores.

There are carnivores out there, there are herbivores out there and there are omnivores and there are fruibivores. So every type of food is going to have a different digestive system, for example, herbivores you know have multiple stomachs. It is so hard to extract nutrition out of just grass that it takes more than one stomach to do it. The carnivorous system is very short and very stout and very smooth because carnivores are eating dead animals and nature knows you don't want to keep a dead animal inside your body for too long, so the carnivorous system is very quick and very short and extracts the nutrients and out with the fur and the other stuff, the teeth, stuff it doesn't want.

The question is what is our digestive system and how does it relate. Remember, our intestines are 12 times the length of our torso, which means our intestines are extremely long, they are convoluted which means there's a lot of bends and turns, and there's a lot of nooks and crannies, a lot of hiding places because they are not smooth.

I want to address this omnivore-carnivore thing, because we are all told that we are omnivores? You eat anything! Have you ever seen, a big old home and the fire place has family portraits? Let’s make 2 family portraits and I am going to stick you inside either family portrait and you are going to tell me where you fit best. Portrait number one: monkey, Chimpanzee, mountain gorilla, bonabo, gibbon and orangutan, that is family number one, and you are welcome to put yourself into that family. Or if you want you could go into the omnivorous families and you can join the pigs, the rats and the dogs. Those are omnivores on this planet. Where do you think you fit? With the pig and the rat, because they will eat anything. Then you have the other choice which is these great apes that have very big brains that are extremely intelligent, extremely gentle and fruit eaters. I am guessing that you have already figured out where you probably fit a little bit more neatly, into the group of the great apes, fore so, that is what you are, and second of all, you probably realize that there is not a lot of resemblance between you and a rat, or you and a pig in general

We are NOT omnivores, because if we were, we would be in the family of pigs and rats. But we are not, we are in this family of apes because we are fruibivores, and the proof is so simple; you open us up, and you see what our digestive system looks like, and it looks like all their digestive systems, if you open up a rats digestive system, it wouldn't look anything like that.

Background and Intention of food talks with Fred

I grew up very regularly, very conventionally and ate nothing but absolute garbage for the first 22 years of my life. I never ate one piece of fruit; I didn't eat anything that had any semblance of vitality or health for 22 straight years. I didn't start learning about this stuff until the age of 23 or 24, and at that point I started very intensely. I probably read over 100,000 pages on this subject, I went 7 years straight eating only raw vegan food.

By giving these food talks, my intention is not really to change the way that you eat or to change your life. Rule number one about us as human beings is that we are going to do whatever we want, and we are not going to do it because someone else told us to, we are going to do it because it is something that we found to be a logical thing in our life. 

In the mean time, just enjoy my real intention, which is to uplift your level of information. You have heard before that knowledge is power; but why is knowledge power? What does it afford you, what does it give you? Choice and options! If you don't know any better, because you don't know anything different from whatever you learnt and however you learnt it, then you are essentially what I call “chained or imprisoned to your own ignorance.”

My intention is empowerment, not to try to change your whole life or hope that you do this or that, it's to simply uplift information. I am not here for you to believe me or to take my word for it, don't believe me because I am saying it, research it on your own. I am not interested in your faith; I am interested in speaking to you about how I understand this stuff, and if it makes sense, because I am only going to talk logic and basic fundamental biology here.

I’ll keep you posted on the right foods to eat and the best way to keep in shape and live in accordance with nature.
