stress--it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran headlines like\said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many -- like the death of a loved one -- are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we're all vulnerable and passive in the face of adversity. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.

Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of foods that are considered much healthful than the types of foods widely sold in supermarkets. For example, whole grains, dried beans and corn oil are health foods. A narrower classification of health food is natural food. This term is used to distinguish between types of the same food. Raw honey is a natural sweetener, whereas refined sugar is not. Fresh fruit is a natural food, but canned fruit, with sugars and other additives, is not. The most precise term of all and the narrowest classification within health foods is organic food, used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm. Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens that are treated only with organic fertilizers, that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides, and that are not refined after harvest, are organic foods. Meats, fish, dairy and poultry products from animals that are fed only organically grown feed and that are not
injected
with
hormones
are
organic
foods.
。
In choosing the type of food you eat, then, you have basically two choices: inorganic, processed foods, or organic, unprocessed foods. A wise decision should include investigation of the allegations that processed foods contain chemicals, some of which are
proven to be toxic, and that vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed foods. Bread is typically used by health food advocated as an example of a processed food. First, the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with bichloride of mercury, an extremely toxic poison. Later, the grain is sprayed with a number of very toxic insecticides and pesticides. After the grain has been made into flour, it is bleached with nitrogen trichloride or chlorine dioxide, both toxic. Next, a dough conditioner, usually ammonium chloride, is added along with a softener, polyoxyethylene. The conditioner and softener are poisons, and in fact, the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals. A very toxic antioxidant is now added along with coal tar, a butter-like yellow dye. Finally calcium propionate, an anti-fungal compound, is added to keep the bread from getting moldy.
Other foods from the supermarket would show a similar pattern of processing and preserving. You see, we buy our food on the basis of smell, color, and texture, instead of vitamin content, and manufacturers give us what we want-even if it is poisonous. The alternative? Eat health foods, preferably the organic variety.
