Humans become addicted to substances that contain toxins such as cooked food, heated tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol . Cooking causes the inorganic elements to enter the blood, circulate through the system, settle in the arteries and veins and deaden the nerves. The body loses it's flexibility, arteries lose their pliability, nerves lose the power of conveying impressions, the spinal cord becomes hardened, the tissue through out the body contract, and the human being becomes prematurely old. Matter is deposited in the various joints of the body, causing enlargement of the joints . In other cases, it accumulates in one or more of the internal organs, finally accumulating around the heart valves.
Heating changes the lipids.
Changed fats are incorporated into the cell wall and interfere with the respiration of the cell, causing an increase in cancer and heart disease . After eating cooked foods, the blood immediately shows an enormous increase of leukocytes of white blood cells. This spontaneous multiplication of white corpuscles always take place in normal blood immediately after the introduction of any virulent infection or poison into the body since the white corpuscles are the fighting organisms of the blood. There is no multiplication of white corpuscles when uncooked food is eaten. Drinking plenty of water is important for many reasons , it is what we are largely composed of and it is constantly evaporating through our skin.
