Be forewarned that many people are difficult to persuade. They will not believe you against all the dead weight of habituation and wrong practices. But our natural dietary is not a matter of belief. It is a matter of knowledge—of being armed with the truth about our dietary character. This lesson and the next will yield many nuggets with which you can arm yourself.

=== Understanding The Role Of Foods In Nutrition ===

In understanding the role foods play in the nutritive processes we must establish criteria for the efficiency with which we can handle different types of foods and the needs they meet. To simplify your understanding of the value different foods have, we have signed numerical ratings to the various food properties, mastering an understanding of the prop- erties of foods that make them proper raw materials for our bodies we so easily gain the knowledge we need for nutritional expertise.

There are other factors that we could consider in determining suitability of foods in hu- man alimentation. One significant factor is the role of foods in maintaining body pH. Some foods are alkaline-forming (acid-binding) and others are acid-forming in metabo- lism. Acid-forming foods place a heavy burden on the body. Humans require a diet pre- ponderately of foods that are alkaline-forming in their metabolic reaction.  Let’s review the criteria for rating the value of foods. This time we’ll append the rat- ing values for foods based on their usefulness in the human dietary.  Water content of foods, while important, does not enter into rating value. We are not natural water drinkers. Water has a neutral value. Nevertheless, most proper foods pos- sess water sufficient to meet our needs. Nuts, seeds and dried fruits are exceptions to this rule. All meals eaten should consist of such foods as will render them water sufficient. Our water needs are ideally supplied by our diet.

=== Summary Of Criteria Relative To Goodness ===

== Summary Of Criteria Relative To Goodness ==

We have not given any weight to these considerations because the value of a food in the human nutritive processes is not determined by this factor. Because other factors consid- ered herein are congruous to their goodness (alkalinity) or badness (acidity) we have let these other considerations stand.  There are many valuable nutrients in acid-forming foods, particularly in nuts. Con- versely, there are many alkaline-forming foods that are of little use in the human diet. Therefore this criterion is ignored in our deliberations and ratings.  Let’s review the criteria for rating the value of foods. This time we’ll append the rat- ing values for foods based on their usefulness in the human dietary.
