This avoidance turns into a game that requires the player to carry rather long lists of foods and food ingredients to stores, where elaborate list-reading and screening procedures are carried out. Alpha Nutrition policy is less entertaining but more practical. You are advised to mostly avoid manufactured, boxed, bottled, packaged, preserved, and processed foods. If this rule is followed, most additives are gone, and the sugar, fat, and salt load is dramatically reduced. We enthusiastically support organic farming and wish that everyone could eat high quality foods, free of pesticides, grown in rich, regenerating soils.
Organic produce is usually higher in nutrients, especially minerals.
We, as consumers, are required to change our priorities and support organic farmers. This is a long-term goal. In the short term, when organic produce is in short supply, we are prepared to enjoy produce as it is found in supermarkets with a few stipulations. Section 3 of the Alpha Nutrition Program Manual provides detailed descriptions of foods, meal planning and preparation, cooking techniques and nutritional information. These discussions of the Alpha Nutrition Program are continued in the Program Manual .
