in Short ;
Wheat- and dairy products contain opioid peptides influencing endorphin receptors in the brain. These peptides are physically addictive, causing dependence, asthma, obesity, apathy, ignorance and numbness. The same goes for beta-carbolines from prepared food.
To be sharp and investigative, you ought to consume neither dairy- nor wheat-products. You don't need those ‘foods’ at all. (see site4 and 13/plants)
To obtain all required nutrients and to remain sharp and investigative; consume as much fruits (there are about 6000 different fruits), and some fresh raw animal food regularly (like sashimi or egg yolk). And for munch-food; only consume what you really, really love to eat (and not because they say it’s healthy), containing little protein, but much fat and / or sugar, satisfying your cravings for munch-food.
Zombies
Look around you; don't you see many zombies ?
Why do so many people act like zombies nowadays ?
It's not natural, for every specie has to react swiftly upon changes, and needs to explore new opportunities. You might say that humans are mainly 'followers', like it would be true for cattle. But by nature, humans do not live together in large numbers; we're not like cattle. Millions of years ago, humans at the most lived together by the dozens, and not thousands, or even millions. Therefore, lots of us humans should be curious, investigative and explorative.
What makes so many people so apathetic, slow and ignorant ?
Opioid Peptides
Everybody knows that if one uses morphine, one is slow and apathetic. Simply because morphine is an opioid substance.
The only reason why we, and other animals, are sensitive to such substances, is because our body and brain contain receptors for opioid peptides. Why ?
When we have to flee from danger but are wounded, we have to be able to run away anyway. Therefore the body produces opioid peptides to ease the pain, when necessary. These opioid peptides are called endorphins. Marathon-runners know the action of these endorphins as 'runner’s high' ; it enables them to go on even when exhausted. Without the proper receptors, these endorphins (and anesthetics !!) don’t work.
Besides drugs and endorphins, opioid-receptors in the brain are susceptible to some other opioid substances: those that are absorbed through consuming food. This happens because far from all peptides are entirely decomposed into single amino acids in the digestive tract. (1) Also, most opioid peptides are hard to decompose. (2)
But why do some foods contain opioid peptides ?
And what foods ?
Milk
Milk is always, always mother's milk, meant for the suckling. We decided to consider mothers' milk from cows, goats, sheep, camels, or from whatever other animal as food for human beings, but by nature this, of course, it isn't true. Human-like beings have existed for 2 to 3 million years, and man did not start to drink mothers' milk from other animals until at the most 0.01 million years ago. For over 99% of our existence, we did not regard cow's milk as food for human beings.
Why do we so now ?
Economics
When humans migrated to areas where less fruits could be found, it was necessary to find other foods. Economically, it appeared to be more efficient to repeatedly take milk from the cattle than to slaughter them for meat. Where the least fruits could be found (Northern Europe), humans best adapted to consuming cow’s milk; colored people are far more allergic to cow’s milk-proteins and/or –lactose than white people.
But why does milk contain opioid peptides ?
From womb to breast milk
The human head is relatively big, and that's why human infants come out to the world too early ; in comparison to other primates gestation length should be 21 months instead of 9. But by then the baby's head would be far too big to pass the pelvis. That's why human infants actually aren't ready for the outside world; they can't even walk !!
Suckling is a compensation for being born too early. Through mother’s milk the baby receives all kind of messenger-substances. These messenger-substances stimulate development and functioning of different organs, including the brain.(see this site) Therefore, children that have been nursed are generally smarter than those that haven't. (see this site) And because mother’s milk is that important, it contains substances that have to make sure the baby wants to drink lots of milk all the time ;
Opioid peptides in Milk
Besides a non-opioid peptide stimulating appetite (3), milk by nature contains different opioid peptides, hidden in milk-proteins such as caseïn, lactalbumin, beta-lactaglobulin and lactoferrin.
Milk-opioid peptides are : beta-casomorphins (4) , alpha-caseïn exorphins, casoxins, beta-casorphins, alpha-lactorphins, beta-lactorphins and lactaferroxins. (5)
Absorption
After having consumed a milk-product, it is digested in the digestive tract. Milk-proteins are decomposed by enzymes into normal peptides, opioid peptides and amino acids. To make sure the baby absorbs as much complete opioid peptides and growth factors, milk also contains substances (lactose, substance P) enhancing permeability of the intestinal mucus. (6) And to prevent the decomposition of the peptides, these peptides are relatively indigestible. (7)
These opioid peptides cause physical dependence in the young, to make sure it wants to drink lots of mother’s milk. Also, it makes the young sleep enough. (8)Of course, these opioids can also cause constipation. (9)
Unfortunately, adult milk-consumers also absorb those opioid peptides.
Because food-manufacturers want us to be physically dependent to the food they sell, you can find milk- and wheat-proteins in lots of different food-products. Even some meat-products contain milk- and / or wheat-proteins.
Wheat
Plants use different tactics to scare off attackers. Some plants contain poison, others just anaesthetize their attackers, like wheat does with opioid peptides.
Because wheat contains opioid peptides, priests in ancient Egypt used wheat to hallucinate, and in bandages, to ease the pain of a wound. All wheat-products, like bread, pasta, pizza, cookies, cake and pastries contain opioid peptides. The roman rulers already new that the people wouldn't rise against them as long as they were entertained and fed bread.
Opioid peptides in wheat-products
One single wheat-gluten protein-molecule contains 15 samples of one particular opioid peptide. (10) Wheat-gluten also contains a number of extremely powerful opioid peptides (11). Some of these molecules are even 100 times more powerful than a morphine-molecule. (12)
Opioid peptides in wheat-gluten are ;
Glycine-Tyrosine-Tyrosine-Proline (11)
Tyrosine-Glycine-Glycine-Tryptophane (11)
Tyrosine-Proline-Isoleucine-Serine-Leucine (11)
Tyrosine-Glycine-Glycine-Tryptophane-Leucine (13) ,which is the most powerful one.
Tyrosine-Glycine-Glycine- is also the sequence of the first three amino acids in endorphins ; opioid peptides produced by the body, influencing the same receptors in the brain.
Therefore, wheat-opioid peptides can 'sedate' the bowels so much that constipation is caused. (13) Because some wheat-opioids are extremely powerful, some schizophrenics can even be cured by not eating any wheat-products anymore. (14)
To compensate the analgesic effect of the opioid peptides, wheat-products very often contain rosemarin-extract, which is a powerful 'upper'.
Brainfood
If you want to be sharp, fast, and able to focus up to 24 hours a day, you've got to stop consuming milk- and wheat-products. Eat foods that stimulate your brain ; see brainfood
In Short;
The brain functions through transmitting signals by so-called 'neurotransmitters'. Specific substances in prepared food, wheat- and dairy products impair neurotransmitter metabolism, causing brain-diseases,aggression, ADHD, apathy, obesity, sleeplessness etc.
Brainfood is clean, pure food that contains all the nutrients the brain (and the body) needs, but does not contain any substance interfering with the normal action of neurotransmitters in the brain.
Brainfood is raw- and easy-to digest food ; fruits , sashimi (and other fresh raw animal food) and raw nuts (like unshelled brazil-, -hazel- or -walnuts, not -peanuts), because these foods contain no opioid peptides nor heterocyclic amines that can cause concentration lapses, apathy, aggression, stress, brain-damage etcetera.
Brainfood is brain-food because fruits and fresh raw animal food combined contain all the sugars, protein, fat, cholesterol, vitamins and minerals that the brain (and the body) needs.
If you want to keep your brains healthy, eat as much brainfood as possible. And if you want to munch ; just eat what you really love, containing the least protein.
When you are 'on the road', and you can't carry kilo's of fruit with you, always be sure to carry Brazil nuts and raisins with you. Of course you have shelled the nuts before you left. Brazil nuts and raisins together contain all the energy (fats and sugars) you need, not giving you the excuse to eat munch-food solely because you need the energy. See diet suggestions
In Detail;
Why did humans become this powerful ?
The dinosaurs ruled the world for millions of years, because they were bigger and stronger than any other animal. Humans aren't strong, nor fast. Our specialty is intelligence.
How did we become the smartest ?
Eating vegetable foods only, approximately 5 million years ago, we were not smarter than other primates. Only when we started combining fruits with animal foods, between 3 and 2 million years ago, the size of our brains rapidly increased.
What made the capacity of our brain increase ?
The combination of sugars and cholesterol. Simply because sugars are the main source of energy for the brain, and cholesterol is most essential to the brain for construction purposes.
Fruits contain easy-to-digest sugars, raw animal food contains 'clean' cholesterol, and they both contain the required fat and protein. Together these foods contain all nutrients you need, and are ideal to increase brain capacity.
Doesn't cholesterol cause cardiovascular diseases ?
10 to 20% of the brain is composed of cholesterol, containing 40 times more cholesterol than muscles, and 7 to 10 times more than the liver, where cholesterol is produced. If cholesterol is not that essential, or even unhealthy, of course the human body would never produce cholesterol.
Children who received mother’s milk, are generally smarter than those who were fed with formula milk (1), partly because mother’s milk contains twice as much cholesterol.
However......
When food is heated (or frozen) in whatever way, some of the cholesterol is oxidized. And oxidized cholesterol causes cardiovascular diseases. Of course nobody tells you ; drugs that decrease our cholesterol level and performing ‘preventive’ actions generate billions of dollars.
'Clean' cholesterol is extremely essential and healthy. That's why your body warns you when cholesterol-level decreases ; low cholesterol-level impairs resistance against diseases (2), causes depressions, mood-swings (3) and increases cravings for food. A number of scientific investigations have proven that in people trying to commit suicide, cholesterol-level is / was lower. (4)
Excellent brainfood is raw egg-yolk, containing lots of clean cholesterol, and more vitamins and minerals than any other food in the world
You can mix the yolk with avocado. Or blend some fruits (or orange juice only, or tomatoes only), pour in the egg-yolk, and stir gently with a fork (stirred, not shaken). You can also add 3 raw egg yolks to cooked potato or ice.
Make sure that the eggs are fresh. Also make sure that the hens are fed raw grains, and not recycled feedings containing wastes and animal residues.
Doesn't sugar cause diabetes ?
No.
Glucose is extremely essential. The brain alone needs 125 to 150 grams of pure glucose a day. Too little glucose makes you lose consciousness, slide into a coma and eventually causes death. Because glucose is that important, the body warns you when glucose level is low ; glucose is needed to transform serum tryptophan into serotonine in the brain. When blood-glucose level is low, serotonine level decreases too, causing depressions (5).
Many assert that complex sugars (like starch and fibers) are better than simple (like fruit-) sugars, but that's also complete and utter nonsense ; fibers are partly bacterially decomposed into glucose, originating gasses, but that doesn't make them healthy of course. All other sugars that we consume, including starch, fructose, honey and white sugar, are enzymatically decomposed, mainly, into glucose. They all influence the blood sugar level. Not all sugars are absorbed into the blood at once, but accordingly to the speed that the food is digested, and accordingly to the number of steps required to convert that sugar into glucose.
Starch most directly increases the blood sugar level, since starch is a long chain of glucose molecules only. Thus, starchy foods like especially pasta, pizza, bread and beans are most dangerous. They are especially dangerous because these starchy foods are always cooked foods, and cooked foods always contain appetite enhancers that make you overeat. Overeating is what impairs the insulin system, (that is why there is strong correlation between overweight and diabetes) because insulin is secreted to regulate the blood glucose level in accordance with your need for glucose. Acting oppositely to 'the goals of the insulin system', by ingesting more energy while there is no longer need for that energy, is what can can cause diabetes.
Consuming lots of fruits is protective, since fruits mainly consist of sucrose, fructose and glucose (sucrose = glucose + fructose), and all that fructose is only gradually converted into glucose (or direct available energy). Compared to other 'normal' fruits, bananas contain most starch, but only 3% in total. (pasta: 65%). Fruits do not contain any appetite enhancers, and you will therefore never overeat on fruits.
Why does the brain need fat ?
Some neurotransmitters in the brain are composed of fatty acids, like oleamide(6), erucamide (7), cis-9,10-Octadecenamide (8) and arachidonic acid (9). Arachidonic acid for example, supports acetylcholine secretion (10), enhancing cognitive abilities. Oleamide helps you fall asleep at night, influencing serotonine-receptors. (11)
Also, fat is the main source of energy for the colon and the heart. That's why prepared food can cause heart-diseases ; heat partially changes the molecular composition of some of the fatty acids.
In nature, fat is a luxury-item. And because (clean-) fat is that important, again, the body warns you when too little fat is consumed, by causing depressions.(12)
Partly because so many people think fat is bad, and causes obesity, so many people are on anti-depressives.
Why does the brain need protein ?
Many neurotransmitters, like serotonine, dopamine and norepinephrine are composed of amines, from amino acids in protein.
However, if 'common' or natural foods are consumed, you will not consume too little protein. Even consuming fruits only, which contain the least protein (1% average), you will absorb all the required amino acids. Before you can absorb too little protein, you will absorb too little sugars, fats, cholesterol, vitamins and / or minerals. (see site13/prot.)
Why do the WHO, FAO and national institutions recommend required amounts of protein ?
Because so many people in poorer countries consume lots of unnatural foods like grains and tubers, containing low-quality proteins. Nutrient recommendations are based on consuming unnatural foods.
Why aren't we advised to consume natural foods only ?
The entire economy is based on consuming prepared foods. It is very hard to feed entire armies or cities with natural foods only.
If humans were still consuming natural foods only, the world would be verydifferent today.
The Advantages of Opioid Peptides
Of course there are also advantages of opioid peptides; when your bowels move too much, you can consume wheat-products to slow them down. And when your stomach contains too much acids, milk products help. Having a toothache, chewing bread can relieve the pain for about 10 minutes.
Wheat- and dairy-products are not foods but drugs.
