Re: Intro & Adelle

[Guest guest]

Welcome, Sonja. I mentioned Adelle in a post this week here. Shari

replied saying Adelle died of bone cancer which I didn't know and asked

my thoughts. A dear friend told me of Adelle's books 10 years ago or so. I

enjoy Adelle 's books because her nutritional explanations are easy

for me

to understand and are extensive. Organ meats are the main meats in her Let's

Cook It Right. Something I was brought up with being a butcher's daughter and

is why recommended. With what I've learned over the years since about diet and

nutrition my theory from my glancing at her cookbook is that Adelle's bone

cancer may have come from the quality of the calcium lactate, calcium

gluconate, magnesium oxide or magnesium chloride in her fortified milk or pep

up recipe she drank daily. A lot of powdered milk in recipes with its

adulterated nutrition from processing. She lived in the beginning stages of

chemical fertilizer when the effects weren't considered (similar to my friend

that recommended who has passed on from brain cancer, they radiated her brain

to cure. Wasn't her choice as she relapsed day before we were to go to

altenative treatment. My theory here in the 50's she worked bringing cancer

patients to their radiation treatments and her head was exposed more than

likely. From 60's on she was a vegetarian.) Raw milk was considered best by

Adelle but hard to come by. Powdered better than pasteurized.

I would disagree with Adelle on powdered milk being superior to

pasteurized. Powdered milk, being spray dried at high

temperatures, contains oxidized cholesterol, just the kind that will

damage arteries and form plaques. Better to use boiled pasteurized

milk if you simply must have milk and can't get raw. Boiling will

further denature the proteins that have been coiled tight by

pasteurizing, making it easier to digest, and without oxidizing the

cholesterol. That said, I wouldn't go near cooked milk myself.
