Can you please give me a list of foods that are high in soluble fiber?

As a group, beans and legumes are some of the most concentrated soluble fiber food sources. This would include dried peas, lentils, pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and others. Other notable sources of soluble fiber (that provide at least 1.5 grams per serving) include vegetables such as artichoke, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and jicama. Fresh fruits equally high in soluble fiber include blackberries, cherries, grapefruit, mango, orange, and pear. Among the grain foods, oats are also worthy of special mention here since they contain about 2 grams of soluble fiber per every half cup.

Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 08:22 PM PDT

Great Addition to Most Vegetables and Salads

Wash, stem and slice each tomato into even slices about 1/4″ thick slices.

To pack strictly in oil: 

• The Drying

  • Organize tomatoes, making certain not to overlap on dehydrator shelves or on a cookie sheet.

  • Sprinkle each slice with a mixture containing equal parts of dried basil-oregano-parsley. Sprinkle with Salt (to facilitate drying).

  • Avoid fresh herbs. Herbs that are previously dried help keep the tomatoes bacteria free.

  • Avoid canning with garlic.

  • If using the cookie sheet and oven, the temperature should remain at 150 degrees F (65 degrees C or gas mark 1).

  • Both dehydrator and oven method will take at least 5 hours (often longer).

  • Dry tomatoes until they are firm and leather like with no moisture pockets, but NOT brittle. (If you get them too dry, soak them in lemon juice for a few minutes.)

• After Dried

  • Dip each dried tomato into a small dish of white wine vinegar (used as a preservative).

  • Shake off the excess vinegar and pack them in olive oil.

  • Fill the jar with olive oil (leaving at least 1” of room above the liquid, below the lid).

  • Do not overstuff with tomatoes. The fruit must remain soaking in the oil.

  • Screw the cap over the lid of each Mason jar.

  • Soak in boiling water for 20 minutes to seal.

  • Wait 30 days before using, so that the oil permeates the tomatoes AND the vinegar flavor dissipates.

• Remember 

  • Refrigerate jar after opening.

  • As tomatoes are removed from the jar, add more olive oil as necessary to keep the remaining tomatoes covered.

 

Olive Oil/Wine mixture

Cover all of the fruit in dry red wine. Soak Tomatoes in wine overnight. Drain fruit well. 

• The Drying

  • Organize tomatoes (making certain not to overlap on dehydrator shelves or on a cookie sheet).

  • Sprinkle each slice with a mixture containing equal parts of dried basil-oregano-parsley. Sprinkle with Salt (to facilitate drying).

  • Avoid fresh herbs. Herbs that are previously dried help keep the tomatoes bacteria free.

  • Avoid canning with garlic.

  • If using the cookie sheet and oven, the temperature should remain at 150 degrees F (65 degrees C or gas mark 1).

  • Both dehydrator and oven method will take at least 5 hours (often longer).

  • Dry tomatoes until they are firm and leather like with no moisture pockets, but NOT brittle. (If you get them too dry, soak them in lemon juice for a few minutes.) 

• After Dried 

  • Dip tomatoes in white wine vinegar (used as a preservative).

  • Stuff jars with tomatoes, leaving at least 1 ½” of air at the top of the jar. Do not overfill.

  • Fill ¼ of jar with dry red wine and ¾ of jar with olive oil (leaving at least 1” of room above the liquid, below the lid).

  • Screw the cap over the lid of each Mason jar.

  • Soak in boiling water for 20 minutes to seal.

  • Wait 30 days before using, so that the oil permeates the tomatoes AND the vinegar flavor dissipates.

• Remember 

  • Refrigerate jar after opening

  • As tomatoes are removed from the jar, add more olive oil as necessary to keep the remaining tomatoes covered.

Can you help me to better understand the labeling on organic foods?

While the Organic Foods Production Act is a very strong piece of legislation that helps protect both consumers and the environment, understanding its labeling provisions is a key to making decisions about organically certified foods. Some organizations have been very critical of the labeling rules set forth in the organics program and have described this labeling process as a "loophole" in the organics law. While it is true that some companies have tried to take advantage of the labeling regulations, it is also true that many companies have followed through with the spirit of the organics law and gone beyond labeling requirements in their organic food production. Here are the basics that you need to know when reading organic labels:
The USDA's green organic logo can be placed on the front of a pre-packaged, organically produced food as long as the food contents of the package are 95% organic by net weight. For example, in a boxed breakfast cereal containing 12 ounces of cereal and displaying the green organic logo on the front of the box, 95% of the cereal ingredients, or 11.4 ounces, would have to be organic. The other half an ounce (or more precisely, 0.6 ounces) could be composed of non-organic ingredients. This non-organic 5% of the cereal could include genetically engineered foods, irradiated foods, or foods sprayed with synthetic pesticides—even though none of those components are allowed within the organics law. Even though we dislike this provision in the organics law that allows 5% of a pre-packaged product to be non-organic and still display the USDA green organic symbol, we believe it is much better for our health and the health of our planet to have a product that is 95% organic than have no legislation at all.
It's important to remember that whole, fresh, natural foods—like the kind we emphasize on our World's Healthiest Foods website—do not usually fall victim to any complicated labeling regulations. When you buy fresh organic produce—like apples, or kale, or broccoli—and when you buy organic almonds, or lentils, or brown rice, you can be confident that you are buying a 100% organic food. When there is no packaging involved and when there is only one "ingredient," the organic labeling regulations don't really come into play. Under these circumstances, what you are purchasing—a single food in its natural, unpackaged state—is 100% organic.
In the case of foods like frozen blueberries, or canned garbanzo beans, the producer of the food will often state "100% organic" on the front of the package or can. In the case of 100% organic, all aspects of certified organic production apply to all ingredients. Certified organic production and handling prohibit the use of most conventional pesticides, petroleum or sewage-sludge based fertilizers, bioengineering (e.g., genetically modified seeds), or ionizing radiation. Organic meats, chicken, and turkey come from animals that are fed organic feed, have access to the outdoors, and are given no antibiotics or growth hormones.
Sometimes a manufacturer wants to display the name of one key ingredient on the front of a food package. For example, the manufacturer of a tomato sauce may want to write, "Contains organic tomatoes"on the front of the can. In this case, the organics labeling rules state that the product must be 70% organic by weight in order for an organic ingredient to be promoted on the front of the package. (In this case, of course, 30% of the weight of the product could be composed of non-organic ingredients.) If a pre-packaged product does not contain at least 70% organic ingredients by weight, the manufacturer is not allowed to write anything on the front of the package about its organic content. Only the side and back of the packaging can be used to describe organic content when a pre-packaged food is less than 70% organic by weight.
Listed below is a brief summary of these organic labeling regulations:

• Food that is 100% organic may carry the "USDA organic" logo and say "100% organic"
• Food that is at least 95% organic may carry the organic logo
• Food that is at least 70% organic can list the organic ingredients on the front of the package
• If a product is less than 70% organic, the organic ingredients may be listed on the side or back of the package but cannot be listed on the front.

Can you help me better understand your nutrient rating system so that I can make the best food choices? For example, I have heard that almonds are rich in calcium, yet this fact is not highlighted in the almonds or calcium write-ups.

Almonds do have a lot of calcium. According to the nutritional profile featured in the book, one-quarter cup of almonds contains 92 milligrams of calcium. Yet, the rating system for nutrient richness that we created for the World's Healthiest Foods website (www.whfoods.org) as well as my book is based not only on the amount of a nutrient that it contains but also the calories that it contains; this allows readers to know whether it would "cost" them a little or a lot of calories to attain the nutrients that are offered by the food.
To qualify to be noted as an excellent source of a specific nutrient, the food needed to feature 7.6 times the amount of nutrients for the calories it contained, to be a very good source it needed to provide 3.4 times the nutrients per calorie, and to be a good source it needed to provide 1.5 times the nutrients per calorie. Therefore, for example, foods with 7.6 mg or more of calcium per calorie are considered excellent sources; those with 3.4-7.6 mg of calcium per calorie are considered very good sources; and those with 1.5-3.4 mg of calcium per calorie are considered good sources.
As one-quarter cup of almonds contains 92 mg of calcium for 206 calories, they only provide 0.45 mg per calorie. Therefore according to our system, they don't qualify as even a good source of calcium, which is why they are not included in the nutrient richness chart or the best sources of calcium chart.
Now, that's not to say that calcium is not a wonderful feature provided by almonds; it's just that compared to other calcium-rich sources such as spinach that provides 10.6 mg of calcium per calorie, mustard greens that provides 8.9 mg/calorie, and yogurt that provides 5.2 mg/calorie, almonds do not provide nearly as much calcium for your caloric investment.
We hope that this helps to explain why almonds aren't singled out as a concentrated source of calcium. Using this almond-calcium example can also help you better understand the presentation of nutrient richness in the book so that you can make food choices based upon this important criterion.

Are you a victim? - Article by Dr Robert Anthony

• "Ever notice as soon as you get in the Express Line at the grocery store the
  line slows down?"
  
• "When I was growing up my mother was very distant and since then I have
  had a hard time relating to women."
  
• "I'd love to lose weight , but it's a losing battle, being heavy runs in my family."
  
• "My first husband cheated on me, so now I am unable to be intimate with a
  man without thinking about wondering how long I can trust him."
  
• "I'd like to have more money, but I have so many financial problems I will
  never get out of debt."
  
• "I enjoy personal growth, but my husband thinks all that stuff is nonsense and
  doesn't like me to participate in it."
  
• "I'd like to open a business of my own, but my wife thinks it is too risky, so I
  guess I had better stay at this secure and boring job I dislike going to every day."

What all these statements have in common is the nature of the
person making the statement. As diverse as all of these statements
are and as diverse as the people who make them appear to be, each
statement reflects the same type of individual - a person with low
self-worth and a predisposition toward negative expectations.

The biggest common denominator all these people share is that they
are desperately holding onto being a victim. They live at the
Victim Level of Awareness. They almost celebrate the fact that they
are victimized. Their "stories" are always about their past and
the latest problems and tragedies that have befallen them. Of
course they are not really victims, but volunteers. They have made a
choice - usually unconscious- to remain a victim.

You can't be a victim and be a success in life. You can be one or
the other, but not both at the same time. If you want to feel like
a victim and that's what you affirm to the people around
you, you will continue to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. You
will repel love, defer happiness, attract illness or injuries and
sabotage any financial or business success. The problem is you tell
your story so well to everyone around you that you end up following
your own script.

The good news is REMAINING a victim is a choice.  If the above
describes you then ask yourself this question. "Is remaining a
victim moving me TOWARDS or AWAY from what I want?" If it is moving
you away, then you are paying a very high price to hold onto your
victimhood.  Now is the time to release it and move up to a higher
Level of Awareness.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

The Latest News About Raspberries

Raspberries belong to the rose (Rosaceae) family of plants, which houses some of the world's most beloved fruits including apples, apricots, blackberries, cherries, loquats, peaches, pears, plums, and strawberries. Almonds also belong to this diverse family of plants. Among U.S. consumers, raspberries are the third most popular berry and follow right after strawberries and blueberries. There are over 200 species of raspberries, all belonging to the scientific genus called Rubus. Fortunately, however, many of the raspberry species that are grown commercially can be placed into one of three basic groups: red raspberries, black raspberries, and purple raspberries.

What's New and Beneficial About Raspberries

• One of the most fascinating new areas of raspberry research involves the potential for raspberries to improve management of obesity. Although this research is in its early stages, scientists now know that metabolism in our fat cells can be increased by phytonutrients found in raspberries, especially rheosmin (also called raspberry ketone). By increasing enzyme activity, oxygen consumption, and heat production in certain types of fat cells, raspberry phytonutrients like rheosmin may be able to decrease risk of obesity as well as risk of fatty liver. In addition to these benefits, rheosmin can decrease activity of a fat-digesting enzyme released by our pancreas called pancreatic lipase. This decrease in enzyme activity may result in less digestion and absorption of fat.
• Recent research on organic raspberries has now shown organic raspberries to be significantly higher in total antioxidant capacity than non-organic raspberries. Raspberries in the study were grown on farms in Maryland that had been previously certified as organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A series of tests involving free radical scavenging all provided the same results: organic raspberries outperformed their non-organic counterparts in terms of their antioxidant activity. This greater antioxidant capacity was associated with the greater levels of total phenols and total anthocyanins found in organic versus non-organic raspberries. While there are many good reasons to purchase organic versus organic foods of all kinds, this study makes it clear that these reasons specifically hold true for raspberries in a big-time way.
• You'll get significantly more antioxidant support by purchasing raspberries that are fully ripe. Recent studies have measured the total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and anthocyanin content of raspberries harvested at varying stages of ripeness (from 50% to 100% maturity) and greatest overall antioxidant benefits were associated with full ripeness of the berries. Although it's possible for raspberries to ripen after harvest, this fruit can be highly perishable and can mold quite easily at room temperature. So your most risk-free approach for getting optimal antioxidant benefits from raspberries is to purchase them at full maturity, keep them refrigerated at all times at temperatures between 35-39F (2-4C), and consume them very quickly (within 1-2 days after purchase).
• Anti-cancer benefits of raspberries have long been attributed to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients. In animal studies involving breast, cervical, colon, esophageal and prostate cancers, raspberry phytonutrients have been shown to play an important role in lowering oxidative stress, reducing inflammation, and thereby altering the development or reproduction of cancer cells. But new research in this area has shown that the anti-cancer benefits of raspberries may extend beyond their basic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory aspects. Phytonutrients in raspberries may also be able to change the signals that are sent to potential or existing cancer cells. In the case of existing cancer cells, phytonutrients like ellagitannins in raspberries may be able to decrease cancer cell numbers by sending signals that encourage the cancer cells to being a cycle of programmed cell death (apoptosis). In the case of potentially but not yet cancerous cells, phytonutrients i n raspberries may be able to trigger signals that encourage the non-cancerous cells to remain non-cancerous.

Health Benefits

Raspberries provide numerous health benefits including:

• Antioxidant support
• Anti-inflammatory benefits
• Obesity and Blood Sugar Benefits
• Anti-cancer benefits

For more details on blueberries' health benefits, see this section of our raspberries write-up.

Nutritional Profile

Raspberries are an outstanding source of phytonutrients, and provide us with dozens of anthocyanins, flavonoids, stilbenoids, phenolic acids, tannins and lignans. They are an unusually concentrated source of ellagitannins (like ellagic acid), cyanidins, and pelargonidins. Raspberries are an excellent source of digestive health-promoting fiber as well as antioxidant-promoting manganese and vitamin C. They are a very good source of bone-building vitamin K and a good source of heart-healthy magnesium, folate, omega-3 fatty acids, copper, vitamin E, and potassium.
