The human body consists of quadrillions of single cells and the space in between those cells (the cell interstices, mostly connective tissue). The cells, the blood and the cell interstices consist of precisely the building molecules that are supplied by the diet. A cell membrane, for example, the outer shell of the cell, consists of fatty acids. Now, if the diet consists only of rancid or toxic trans-fatty acids, then these are included into the cell membranes and significantly disturb the functions of the cells for a long time, often for months or even years. They cannot produce as much “bioenergy” and are no longer flexible. Our cells may also contain the cellular poison acrylamide which is supplied by acrylamide polluted foods or arises due to high blood sugar values as measured as HbA1c. The human body also absorbs a lot of undesirable heavy metals or chemical toxins from food.

These undesirable substances strongly disturb the metabolic processes of the cells and hence those of the organs and the entire body. They are a major cause of diseases. The quantity of these chemicals and heavy metals that are often stored in the body for a very long time, if not for a lifetime, directly depends on the nutrition and lifestyle.

People that mostly eat foods from controlled organic agricultivation or wild harvesting and reduce their consumption of animal products, present with significantly fewer harmful substances in their bodies. (However, this does not apply to products that only bear the organic certification of the European Union.) In contrast the bodies of people whose nutrition mainly consists of conventionally produced food and animal products present with a toxic load that is many times higher. These chemical substances not only deposit themselves in the body but also negatively affect the intestinal flora.
