This is so timely for me as well. I received a call from a friend yesterday asking me to locate some local honey for one of her children who is suffering from allergies. She said she is starting to look more towards God's health care solutions rather than man's. I think she will benefit from seeing this video. I really appreciate you. Thanks. Excellent Patrick!

I would say there's not a lot of hard science behind your assertion that reducing salt and sugar intake is related to health, at least as it relates to fresh and unprocessed foods, and I simply disagree with you. What you say about oils also describes the difference between processed and unprocessed foods. The oils people normally use in their kitchens to prepare food don't contain trans-fats, and I disagree with you again that anyone who eats relatively unprocessed fats produced in a natural way needs to concern themselves with the composition of what they eat.

Fats/Oils is a far more complex issue as they can have very different effects depending on their chain length, configuration and level of hydrogenation, therefore is is dangerous to make simplistic statements about them, one what or the other except to say that all trans-fats are, without doubt, dangerous.

If you've seen any of his cookery programmes, you'll know just how much salt he splashes around in his recipes! However, I think he is working with communities where industrially processed foods have become the unhealthy norm. BTW, your information about sugar alternatives was very interesting.
