SBO's
In the Human Diet
Most
Americans don't realize it, but many forms of SBO's, as
well as their enzyme, hormone and nutrient by-products,
are unknowingly ingested into the human system --- with
very beneficial effects --- when all fresh raw fruits and
vegetables are eaten. This was especially true in the 19th
century, when America was basically one large rural farming
community, and the ingestion of fresh raw fruits and vegetables
--- often straight from the fields, or directly from family
gardens --- was commonplace.
Today
however, human ingestion of SBO's and their beneficial by-products
is far less common. This is because modern agricultural
techniques (including the over application of powerful pesticides,
fungicides and germicidal agents) and heatbased food processing
techniques, tend to kill off SBO's on fruits and vegetables,
as well as destroy the beneficial enzyme, hormone and nutrient
by-products normally released by the SBO's and absorbed
by the food plants as part of the normal growth cycle. Nonetheless,
SBO's and their beneficial by-products still manage to find
their way into the human system today, though in this country
with far less frequency than times past.

It is because of this that a number of nutritionists working
on the cutting edge of orthomolecular medicine now speculate that the declining
digestive intake of SBO's and their enzyme, hormone and nutrient by-products
is one of the chief reasons Americans tend to experience far more bowel and
digestive system problems than do the people of other countries where modern
high-tech farming and food processing techniques have yet to replace family
farms and gardens. In other countries, SBO intake is markedly higher via the
intake of fresh raw plant life, and digestive tract problems are correspondingly
lower!
