The Jeffrey Food List
Goal: eat close to nature, with the goal of nourishing the body’s blood.
That means eliminating the 4 whites:
 sugar
 white flour
 dairy/cow milk products/fat
 salt
Logic: sugar and white flour are refined and not close to nature; they are completely
unnatural substances. Humans are the only mammals that still consume milk long
pasts infancy (an unnatural act). Salt is natural but the amounts put in our food is
unnatural.
