Sugar-Protein Combinations

Quoted from the book FOOD COMBINING MADE EASY, Dr. Shelton states the following on page 22:

“All sugars – commercial sugars, syrups, sweet fruits, honey, etc., – have an inhibiting effect upon the secretion of gastric juice and upon the motility of the stomach. This fact adds significance to the remark made to children by mothers that the eating of cookies before meals “spoils the appetite.” Sugars taken with protein hinder protein digestion. Sugars undergo no digestion in the mouth and stomach. They are digested in the intestine. If taken alone they are not held in the stomach long, but are quickly sent into the intestine. When eaten with other foods, either proteins or starches, they are held up in the stomach for a prolonged period, awaiting the digestion of the other foods. While thus awaiting the completion of protein or starch digestion they undergo fermentation.”

Sugar-starch combinations

“Starch digestion normally begins in the mouth and continues, under proper conditions, for some time in the stomach. Sugars do not undergo any digestion in either the mouth or stomach, but in the small intestine only. When consumed alone sugars are quickly sent out of the stomach into the intestine. When consumed with other foods, they are held up in the stomach for some time awaiting the digestion of the other foods. As they tend to ferment very quickly under the conditions of warmth and moisture existing in the stomach, this type of eating almost guarantees acid fermentation.” “Jellies, jams, fruit butters, commercial sugar (white or brown, beet, cane, or lactic), honey, molasses, syrups, etc., added to cakes, bread, pastries, cereals, potatoes, etc., produce fermentation… Sweet fruits with starch also result in fermentation…In many quarters it is thought that if honey is used instead of sugar this may be avoided, but such is not the case. Honey with hot cakes, syrup with hot cakes, etc., are almost sure to ferment.”

On page 45 Shelton states, “Do not add sugar to the fruits.”

In another chapter of the book, Shelton defines fermentation to be the conversion of starches into alcohol and acetic acid which are two very damaging products to the human organism.

A water blister is nothing to be alarmed about. This can occur from a number of reasons including friction. The first thing people probably think about is to pop it; however, maybe this is not such a good thing to do. Your body created the blister as a reaction to adapt to a problem. If the blister needed to be popped, it would do it for itself – it is there for a reason. The body builds the blister and needs to take this form for itself until the reason for its existence of it is gone and it is ready to go away. Eventually the liquid will get absorbed into the body and the skin will fall off on its own. The best thing to do is to protect it, wait for it to go away and in time it will be gone.
