“The grains, with fruits, nuts, and vegetables, contain all the nutritive properties necessary to make good blood.” (MH 316) God has instructed His children in dietary matters and medical science is beginning to understand that God’s ways are best. Take for instance nuts. The Real Age Newsletter of December 12, 2007, states that nuts have excellent anti-cancer properties. “Walnuts, almonds, and pistachios contain a potent substance that may thwart cancerous tumors. Legumes are similarly loaded with the mighty compound, so there’s no reason to leave those peanuts at the bottom of the can of mixed nuts.” Inositol pentakisphosphate, the substance found in nut, legumes and other whole grain foods, “is good for you and found in abundance in nuts, wheat bran, and most legumes. “Apparently, the compound is so powerful it could hold promise for future cancer treatments.” (ibid) So in 2008 make sure you get a serving of nuts and several servings of whole grains and legumes (beans) every day. It just might save your life!
