The opposite of Food is dead empty stuff. Dead empty stuff is pretend food that does nothing for us except take up space when we eat it and lead to internal deficiencies. Things like candy, soda, energy drinks, processed foods and manmade things, anything that doesn’t have a DNA code. Dead empty stuff is not found on land, sea or air. Now that doesn’t mean that you can’t eat it. What it means is the main thing that should be going in your mouth is Food - not dead empty stuff. Dead empty stuff is what makes people gain weight. People who make dead empty food a way of life tend to be unhealthy. They develop problems like obesity, diabetes and other health complications. In our country, eating dead empty food is normal.
Usually these pretend foods are filled with processed white sugar. Does anyone realize that in nature there are only a few sources that yield white sugar? The two most familiar are sugar cane and sugar beets. What does that tell us? It says that the human body was not made to consume excessive amounts of this type of sugar. You can eat it all you want but remember that white processed sugar is the greatest beauty thief out of all the dead empty foods.
A doughnut or a brownie or anything sweet tastes so unbelievably good when the body lacks food. I wrote in the list of health changes Chinese medicine gives the best explanation to why the body craves sweet in a deficient state. When the body is deficient it starts to want sweet tasting things to correct those deficiencies sweet foods (which are used to strengthen the body) are naturally desired as a body’s response. The body wants sweet to re-strengthen itself. Yet, it doesn’t get any strength from doughnuts, brownies or any other dead empty sweet stuff. What it needs are Foods like potatoes, wheat, polished rice, yams, peas, chestnuts, honey, sweet potatoes, milk, pork, fat meat, papaya, figs, squash, black sesame, coconut and peanuts. These are examples of sweet natured foods and when a person is in a deficient state these foods may taste overwhelming good to them, but remember the that when a body is deficient it needs Food – all kinds of Food. What kind doesn’t really matter, as long as it is classified as Food with a capitol F (with a DNA code). Sweet foods may just be more of a craving when the body is deficient. As a body’s internal deficiencies start to be corrected the less and less it will crave sweet foods. Remember if you are craving sweet food, white processed sugar does not correct your deficiencies.
As far as what kind of food groups to eat— protein, carbohydrates, good fats, all of them are critical to a body’s life processes and healthy living. You cannot remove one and stay healthy, unless it is for a medical condition like diabetes, kidney problems, gluten intolerance or any medical condition that requires a strict diet. In that case whatever the doctor orders is what should always be followed. But, for the young girls and women who are counting calories and avoiding eating to stay skinny and beautiful, and have no health complications, all different kinds of Foods are necessary to keep beauty, body and health.
I always hear about how bad some foods are like white rice and white bread, and how good others are like raw vegetables. I just wonder if all the wise dieticians who make those claims have ever visited China. Because in China every grain is refined, rice is white, noodles are stripped, and bread is made from white flour. Rarely is any vegetable eaten uncooked. Yet, in China the majority of the country doesn’t have weight problems and most people don’t suffer from the health problems that we do in the U.S. How is this happening if white rice and refined grains, a daily part of the Chinese diet, are so bad for us? The answer is that white rice and white flour aren’t bad for us.
Not only are foods like white rice and white flour good for us but it is a myth that they make us gain weight. The heavy starch nature is not what is responsible for weight gain. China is where we can look to prove the myth is wrong. In China, I used to buy peaches in the summer time from an older man near gate #1 at Nanjing University of Science and Technology. Every time, after class at noon, I went to buy those peaches there he was sitting on his chair eating his choice of vegetables and meats with a huge bowl of rice. Why was he so lean? How could it be with that much white rice? Why was he full of energy and youth even in his old age? You see, even though white rice is stripped of its natural outer shell and in the process loses some nutrition, the DNA of the rice doesn’t change. So the health attributes it gives our body doesn’t change either. White rice is easy to digest. It clears acid from the stomach. It stabilizes the digestive system. It is full of glucose to fight against depression. It gives the brain the fuel it needs to work efficiently and the muscles the cellular energy to do their job. White or brown? It doesn’t matter. Brown rice has more trace vitamins and nutrients, but the consumption of food shouldn’t be based on how many B-vitamins or any other trace contents it has. If it has a DNA code then the only question is which do you like? In China, everything is refined. White rice and white flour are staple foods. Which means they are eaten every day and almost with every meal. A grain of this type should be eaten every day. Yes, it should. What people fear most (carbs) should be eaten daily and could be eaten with every meal. Because when we look at the longevity and health of the Chinese people we see that the wise dieticians making these claims about refined foods and raw vegetable diets really aren’t so wise. And that the people of China are right on, by eating DNA Foods of their preference and rarely eating any dead empty stuff.
If you haven’t noticed by now I haven’t given any recommendations or advice or rules about what kind of food should be eaten. That is because eating should be free. Food if it is considered Food should be freely eaten according to a person’s personal choice. Eating beef or fish, sushi or curry, it is up to the individual and preference, as long as the food has a DNA code. So, the type of food you eat is a free choice. Don’t count calories and don’t eat just protein, just raw foods or just vegetables. A quick note for teenagers or young adults who have chosen to be vegans or vegetarians...a vegan or a vegetarian diet in the young is something that can be harmful to the maturity and life process of the body in every way.
Here is something to think about. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient for brain and nervous system health. It is involved in metabolism of every cell in the body. It is so extremely important and vital for survival and a healthy life. Yet, the only viable source is found in animals. There are supplements of Vitamin B12. But for thousands of years people didn’t have supplements. So my question is where did people before supplementation get Vitamin B12? Vegans and vegetarians can develop severe internal deficiencies if they aren’t very careful. Still, it’s your choice. Just be fully informed and educated before you make any decision.

So, what to remember about eating?

Remember to eat all different groups of Foods.
Eat everything that suits your personal choice.
Try to eat things with a DNA code.
Don’t think too much about what to eat.
You can eat dead empty stuff, but the more you eat
Food the less you will want to dead empty stuff.

Every person (especially the young) has to get enough food in their bodies. This is critical when a young person is growing and developing. Eating Food will only strengthen and solidify internal organs, blood, and complex body tissues, and that means it will keep and nourish external beauty. If you forget everything in this book remember that your internal health is what is seen on your face and on the outside body. Keeping your internal body from deficiencies keep you from losing your beauty and youth as you get older. You can buy as many anti-aging creams and lotions as you want but staying young is in Food and getting enough of it as you age.
Getting enough Food is different for everyone. Some are athletes and need more to replenish. Some are students who think and use their brain power more. They also need extra Food to fight against building internal deficiencies. So, there is no right answer to how much Food is enough. Everybody is different and everybody’s energy output throughout the day is different. When you are hungry don’t stop yourself from eating and always eat till you are full. I know it sounds crazy but your hunger regulating mechanism in the brain is very sophisticated and knows what you need. When you get enough it will stop you from eating anymore. Unless, your hunger is coming from episodes of depression, emotional hurt or some other deep issue provoking eating for comfort, then usually the hunger is balanced. Remember getting enough Food and eating Food with a capitol F is what makes physical beauty and body or what breaks it.
Eating enough Food and eating till you are full will not make you gain weight. I know many girls and women are afraid to eat because they think they will get fat. There are only two ways a person gains weight. One is through excess fat cell deposits and the other is through fluid retention. Fat cells are deposited by taking in too much dead empty stuff (or by over eating to fill some kind of void) and not putting out enough energy to burn what is consumed. When this happens there is only one way to get rid of the excess weight and that is to burn it through exercise. That’s the only way. There is no magic pill for weight loss. The simple truth is to put out more energy than what is consumed. That is the answer to losing weight if the weight is from fat cells.
The other way a person gains weight is through fluid. Fluid retention can be from a medical condition like diabetes or hypothyroidism. Medical conditions that cause the fluid metabolism in the body to be disrupted are a big challenge to correct. If the internal problem is corrected the fluid retention will also be corrected. There are other problems like hormone deficiencies later in age that can lead to fluid retention. Different medication also can cause fluid weight gain. Medications like steroids, birth control and anti-depressant SSRI’s (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Again, fixing the internal problem will redistribute the fluid in the right places.


The special case of fluid weight gain that can only be corrected through Food is the kind of fluid weight gain that teens, Hollywood stars, college girls and women get when they eat less or don’t eat to keep the beauty and get that body. This fluid weight
