FRUIT
JUICES CAN
GIVE
RISE TO OBESITY
AND
COLON CANCER
(© 28
May 2015: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)
A man,
aged 35, and weighing 96 kg came to me last week.
Losing weight was his main
concern.
In the
course of describing his problems, he proudly claimed that he had started
drinking ‘plenty’ of fruit juices daily since a month.
When
verified, he said his body weight has been increasing as usual, and there was
no loss of any kind.
One
‘benefit’ he had noticed was related to his toileting habit. It seems,
defecating has been a lot easier nowadays, and he even evacuates twice or thrice daily.
I told
him to stop drinking the juices with effect from that moment.
He could of
course eat them, rather than making them into juices to drink.
Do you
know why I suggested that to him?
You
should be wondering as what exactly could go wrong if one drinks the juices!
After all, both of them are same.
Let me
explain to you the dangers you could invite by drinking the juices.
The
explanation would come to you as a shock, for you wouldn’t have even dreamt of
such a thing from happening!
Yes:
Drinking fruit juices can increase your BODY WEIGHT.
In
addition, a regular intake for a long time, say, about five years, can give you
COLON CANCER as well.
To get
convinced, please read the following evidences:
I am not
referring to the sucrose or calories contained in the fruit juices at all! (In other words, these do NOT increase the body weight of a person.)
It is
some other important, hitherto not-understood phenomenon.
* * * * * *
I am sure
most of you know that some 70 to 80% of the CALCIUM contained in the
vegetables we eat are NOT absorbed by the intestinal tract, and are sent out of
the body as part of the faces we defecate.
Why do
you think this happens?
Is it
because the intestinal tract has LESSER ability to absorb?
No, it is
not because of that!
The
following is the reality:
* * * * * *
Calcium
is a most wanted substance for the children’s wellbeing.
This is so because
their bones, teeth, nail and nearly all parts of their body require RAPID
growth and development.
They have
to grow rapidly to attain adult’s physique by the time they reach 18, 20, or
so.
Whereas
the already-grown up adults require only about HALF of the children’s
requirement.
Thus, men
and menopausal women require only about 450 to 500 mg of Calcium DAILY, for our
well-being. (This is enough, for the bones are not going to grow any longer,
nor any new teeth is going to form.)
Menstruating
women, since a substantial quantity of calcium gets lost in the menstrual
fluid, do require about 50 mg more than men or the menopausal people.
* * * * * *
There is
almost no food that does not contain calcium.
Normally,
ALL food of SEA origin (e.g., anchovies / Ikan Bilis, crabs, prawns, fish,
shellfish, etc.) contain ABUNDANT Calcium. (The coral reef, shells, etc. are made of just calcium!)
ALL
plants contain calcium – some contain plenty of it, some mediocre, and some
others, little.
All
FRUITS contain ABUNDANT Calcium in them.
So, if we
make a SOUP of ANY vegetable, THAT soup will have ALL the calcium present in
the vegetable we have boiled.
In other
words, SOUPs form RICH SOURCE of Calcium.
That is
why it tastes very delicious (with salt added, of course)
Such calcium-rich soup is very good for those who are very thin, under-nourished,
recovering from illness, etc.
However,
if healthy people drink soups, say about thrice a week or so, and that should
help their body maintain its calcium requirement.
(I have
often found in Malaysian Chinese men drinking about 14 soups a week – twice
daily, developing Prostate Enlargement – which is due to the absorption of far
too much of calcium by the cells that make the Prostate Gland, that are designed to scavenge calcium for the production of semen).
* * * * * *
The same
things goes for FRUIT JUICES as well.
Such
great abundance is what makes them taste sweet, similar to the sugarcanes
(Palaniappan, V.M., Diabetes: Causes, Cure and Prevention: ISBN978-967-9988-15-4. 255pp)
So, if we
are going to eat a portion of a fruit, that would help us maintain the slight
alkalinity that is required for keeping body in a healthy state (at pH 7.3 or 7.4).
If we eat
TOO MUCH of the fruit, that will put into our body also too much of the
calcium.
In
reality, what happens is, if we start eating a fruit, after eating some of it,
our brain creates a sense of SATISFACTION, and we tend to stop eating any
further. If we force-eat more, we tend to develop a sense of ‘hatred’ for the
same, or may even make us vomit, and that makes us stop any further
consumption.
On the
other hand, if we make a concentrated juice of the fruit, and further enhance
it to make it tastier, we may end up drinking too much of it. This way, too much of
calcium would enter into our body.
If and
when calcium enters into our intestinal tract in a water-soluble state, it will
get readily absorbed, and that will end up being too much for the body to
withstand.
* * * * * *
EXCESSIVE
FIBRE CONTENTS or ANY ACIDS (Papaya or any ripe fruit turns acid due to
the fermentation bacteria at the colon) are bound to make the faces SLIMY or
WATERY and SHAPELESS.
When this
happens, ALL the LOCKED-UP Calcium in the faeces that was scheduled to go out
of the body, NOW, GETS ABSORBED by the lining cells (the Adenomatous or
Glandular Cells) in the COLON.
* * * * * *
In the
process of eating food, we CANNOT keep track of the quantity of calcium that
enters into the body.
Until about a century
ago, we never knew the quantity of calcium our body required.
We also
did not know which food had how much of calcium in it.
Yet,
people ate food, just guided by their INTUITION. They ate if they liked a food,
and if that was available to them.
This is
what has been happening when it comes to the feeding habits of ALL animals,
even today.
When they
(=humans and animals) did so, they could have INADVERTENTLY, consumed abundant
CALCIUM.
Too much
of Calcium, similar to too much of any other substance, can harm the well-being
of the body.
So, God,
or Nature, has created a built-in mechanism in the body, in the following
manner:
* * * * * *
The brain
will keep track of what has been going into the body. On finding that ADEQUATE
Calcium has already been absorbed, it rejects all the EXCESSES, by leaving it
unabsorbed, and thus allowing it to be thrown away in the faecal matter.
This is
precisely why some 70 or 80% of the Calcium present in the vegetable matter is
left unabsorbed.
* * * * * *
All
water-insoluble calcium – such as those ‘locked-up’ in the vegetable matter get
removed from the body along with the faeces.
The
faeces, when it contains calcium, will be in an ALKALINE state. Alkaline
faeces will form SOLID matter. So, when we defecate, the faces will be
SHAPELY, and NOT slimy or watery.
In other
words, SOLID and SHAPELY faeces takes with it all the unwanted excessive
calcium away from our body, leaving our body in a healthy state.
* * * * * *
All
vegetable matter contain FIBRE in them.
Some of
them contain lesser quantities of fibre.
Some
contain mediocre, and some others contain plenty.
These
fibres, help in the process of defecation – they help in the gentle ‘escape’ of
the faecal matter from the rectum.
This
gives us comfort and satisfaction of having evacuated the waste.
* * * * * *
Let us do
an experiment:
Take any
fruit, apple, orange or papaya, or any other.
‘Grind’
it in a blender or a juicer.
Leave it
overnight.
It would
froth, ferment, turn acid and taste sour.
This
happens because of some air-borne FERMENTATION bacteria grows profusely in it,
‘eats’ it, and releases ACID ‘urine’ as the end-product.
Thus, the
juice turns ACIDIC.
When the
faeces becomes acidic, it will become slimy or watery and would lose its shape
– that will release the hither-to locked-up calcium.
This will then get absorbed by
the colon – as was described above.
*******
Likewise,
if we consume EXCESSIVE FIBRE, it would make the faeces SLIMY and WATERY, and
turns the faces acidic.
* * * * * *
The above
being the truth, how can dieticians make
you consume EXTRA and EXCESSIVE CALCIUM, by (a) enriching eatables with extra
calcium – as is being done in biscuits, oats, beverages, powdered milk
preparations, etc., (b) tell you take calcium supplements in the form of
tablets and dairy products?
If you
forcibly introduce excessive calcium into your body, and compel the body to
contain it, for sure, things are bound to go wrong!
* * * * * *
NOW, LET
US SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU TOOK TOO MUCH OF CALCIUM.
OR,
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE EXCESSIVE CALCIUM THAT HAD ENTERED INTO THE BODY:
* * * * * *
If we
expose our body to plenty of sunshine (as it happens in the case of a Farmer who
does agriculture), the calcium excesses would get FIXED in his skeletal system.
This will happen because his body would produce Vitamin-D with the help of
sunshine. He would start weighing heavier and develop a well-built and huge
body, and that may NOT giving him any significant disease.
On the
other hand, if the person happens to be living indoors all the time, as most of
the office-going people do, then, the following would happen:
In the
absence of Vitamin-D, the FREE, water-soluble Calcium would enter into the
cells to become part of the cytoplasm.
Continuous
entry would enlarge the cells.
Cells
that make up the SOFT TISSUES (of organs) in the entire body would keep on
receiving and accumulating such free calcium, and this would then MAKE ALL THE
CELLS BIGGER IN SIZE AND HEAVIER IN WEIGHT.
As a
result, the person body would become MUCH BIG SIZED, and OVERWEIGHT.
Continued
process would make the person OBESE.
Naturally, ALL the obesity-related
diseases would subsequently accompany.
* * * * * *
When all
the cells in ONE SPOT (e.g., breast) get enlarged, it will form a lump.
Further
and continued absorption of such free calcium excess would swell up the lump
more and more, until it becomes a hard and rocky ‘stone’, which would then
become a CANCER.
* * * * * *
If such
calcium absorption occurs in the cells of the tissues of the COLON for a
prolonged time, then, it would become COLON CANCER.
Although
I don’t have the exact statistics, I have observed clinically, that some five
years of continued defecation of SLIMY faeces by those who are Diabetic, tends
to give rise to COLON CANCER in them.
(Those
patients were found to be eating ripe Papaya fruit all the time, with the
assumption that Papaya is good for the Diabetic people, for it enhances ‘easy’
defecation).
To sum
up, if a person defecates slimy faeces for most part of the time for ANY
REASON, he appears to be developing COLON CANCER for CERTAIN.
Therefore,
EATING moderate quantities of three-quarter ripe (not over-ripe)
fruits appear to be good for people.
Eating
over-ripe fruits, eating too much of fruits, or drinking fruit juices should be
considered improper lifestyle habits.
I have
observed that Malaysian Indians tend to eat over-ripe fruits all the time, and
Malaysian Chinese consume less ripe fruits. These habits may explain to some
extent the incidence of colon cancer occurrences among these two communities in
particular.
(At this
point, needless to repeat that consuming EXTREMELY HIGH FIRBRE containing
substances, whether natural or synthetic,
should also be avoided as far as possible.)

WELL,
FRIENDS:
Let me
share something personal with you at this moment:
You must
be wondering if I have stopped writing articles for our BLOG, especially
because I have not written any for the past about two months.
I have
good reasons for this:
I am very
good in my mother-tongue – the Tamil language.
I have written
high-class proses. However, I have not learnt any bit about POETRY writing.
There is
an excellent, definite, and rigid grammar for Tamil Poetry Writing.
Tamil
poetries, when recited, sound melodious, rhythmic and enchanting. You would love it, even if you do not understand!
I wanted
to give a try.
So, on my
own, without a proper Guru, started writing poetry.
Can you
guess what could have been the subject?
Well, I
have so far written about 80 pages of it – It is entitled ‘Diabetes: Causes
and Recovery’. It has come out very
well. I was indulging in writing it all the time – day and night, neglecting
everything else! (Except that I have been presenting Talk Shows in Tamil on health-care matters in Astro TV Vizhuthugal for more than a year. Now, the Producer has given me a break).
That is
precisely why I have not written any article for our Blog here.
I am in
the process of handing my manuscript to some learned Literary Giant in Malaysia.
If it gets approved, the Tamil-reading public can expect that to come out in
the form of a book.
This
book, I think, would form something similar to the English poem “The
Deserted Village” by Oliver Goldsmith.
At this,
I would like to thank many of you (like Mr. Chong of Bandar Sri Damansara, PJ)
for having encouraged me to continue writing articles for our Blog, lest our
Followers may start thinking that I have stopped writing altogether…. I hope I
can continue for some more time to come….
Thank
you, dear friends for your kind support.
Bye until I come up with my next article, soon.
Dr. Palani.
