 Thumbs way up: Raw almond milk
Another current favorite at my house is raw almond milk. It's made from raw, soaked almonds, water, vanilla and a pinch of sea salt. I've posted a video on how to make this yourself using a Vita-Mix. (Click here to see the video.)
Raw almond milk is both delicious and nutritious. While it doesn't have the protein content of animal milk, it's rich in plant-based fats and various anti-cancer phytonutrients. |

 With this recent decision, the almond Board of California has unwittingly joined the conglomeration of uncaring, ignorant agricultural corporate interests who have no real concern for consumers, although they disguise their actions as such. Before long, it seems, all the food sold in the United States will be genetically modified, irradiated, pasteurized, homogenized, hydrolyzed and packaged for a two-year shelf life. And it will all be labeled as "All natural! |

 According to Andrew Kimbrell, the Director of the Center for Food Safety, "The decision to foist fumigants on unsuspecting almond consumers is just another example of an agency out of control." Adds Kimbrell, "USDA is being run lock, stock, and barrel by agribusiness and has abandoned its duty to protect the public and the farming community. |

| Shall we have a dinner of wilted lettuce, dead almond slices and pasteurized salad dressing made with rape seed oil, MSG and high-fructose corn syrup? That's the food the government will put its stamp of approval on, it seems: Dead, deficient and dirt cheap.
Here's where all this is going...
The bigger picture: Dead foods lead to dead people
I have heard a theory that says the governments of the world, concerned with the population carrying capacity of planet Earth, have unleashed a plan to greatly reduce the population by destroying the nutritional value of foods and supplements. |

 The almond Board of California has also joined the effort to suspend the English language. They are starting with the word, "raw," which the almond Board insists should now mean heating almonds to a high temperature for a duration sufficient to kill virtually all microorganisms that might be hitching a ride on the almonds. This concept was formally known to rational people as "pasteurization," but will now be called "raw" according to USDA regulations. |

| Now, with the USDA backing this fraudulent labeling decision by the almond Board of California, we have two dominant government agencies (the FDA and USDA) who are both in favor of the blatant mislabeling of food products in order to keep consumers ignorant of how their foods are really being processed and degraded. |
| Once these elements are exposed to high temperatures (through pasteurization or other methods), these nutritional qualities are irreversibly degraded, rendering the almond deficient in the nutrients it had when it was first harvested. This degradation of health-enhancing nutrients has the result of contributing to nutritional deficiencies and imbalances in North American consumers -- people who are already in a state of chronic nutritional deficiency due to the consumption of other processed foods. |

 A total of six studies showed the resounding results of the almond's ability to lower total and LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease by 10 percent. All it takes is to eat one small handful of almonds (1 ounce) a day. It is best to remove the skin by putting the almonds into boiled water for a few minutes. Soaking the almonds overnight makes them more digestible.
Nuts generally are high in antioxidant vitamin E, shown to protect against chest pain and artery damage. Brazil nuts are extremely rich in selenium, an antioxidant also linked to lower rates of heart disease and cancer. |

 Many commercial tahinis and almond butters involve exposure to intense heat in the grinding process. Thus, their labels, which identify them as "raw," are very misleading. High-quality, commercially prepared almond butter and sesame tahini that have not been exposed to extreme heat are available from the Tree of Life Health Store (see the Resources section).
Both almond butter and sesame tahini are versatile ingredients for many types of recipes, particularly soups and salad dressings. Tahini is especially enhancing with its creamy, dairy-like texture and rich flavor. |

| The same is true in the almond industry, where the almond Board of California is now trying to irradiate all almonds grown in the state, yet have them labeled as "raw" even when they're dead.)
This attack on raw milk is dressed up to look like a public safety concern. Raw milk is dangerous, regulators claim, because the live cultures might get contaminated with unfriendly bacteria and harm someone. The preferred alternative, it seems, is to kill all the food so that it harms everyone equally.
In terms of choosing raw milk, the typical choices are raw cow's milk and raw goat's milk. |

If you connect the dots on all this, you come to the startling realization that irradiated, chemically treated nuts grown with pesticides will soon be labeled raw, organic nuts.

 They can then be used to make almond milk: a combination of one cup of almond sprouts (or merely almonds soaked overnight) blended with four times as much water or apple juice. Almonds, which have an exceptionally high mineral content, are delicious raw or roasted with tamari. The raw nut can be sliced, slivered, or chopped, and even can be ground into almond butter. brazil nuts
Brazil nuts, like other seeds and nuts, have a high fat content. But because they are also high in protein, they are actually not much higher in calories per gram of usable protein than are whole grains. |

 The first two ingredients are organic almond butter and organic date paste. Let's get the date paste out of the way first. The date paste is obviously the provider of the sweetener and texture of the food bar - but notice that they're using whole dates here, and dates offer some great nutrition that's much better for you than just eating refined sugars. The almond butter, simultaneously, provides the fat texture and healthy oils for your body. In fact, almonds are a great way to get heart-healthy oils into your system. |
