A clinical study conducted at the University of Kentucky found that an extract from grape seeds causes cancer cells to "commit suicide." Within 24 hours of application, the majority leukemia cells exposed were "killed off," while healthy cells were unharmed. According to a report on the BBC, "scientists said it was too early to recommend that people eat grapes to ward off cancer." We disagree. We strongly recommend that people eat grapes, and lots of them. Western scientists who do such research are looking for drugs that can treat cancer. Our view is that the human body evolved to simply assume and expect a diet that includes grapes and fruits like grapes, and that insufficient quantities of grapes in the diet is one of the major causes of cancer. Grapes formed a major part of the ancient Spartan diet, and the modern Spartan Diet. Eat plenty of dark-skinned organic grapes for maximum health. It's the perfect Spartan dessert.

Researchers at Seoul National University in South Korea have identified a link between an additive commonly used in processed foods and lung cancer . The use of inorganic phosphates has increased dramatically in the past few years in processed meat products, as well as cheese, beverages and other industrial foods. The BBC quoted Professor Stephen Spiro , the deputy chairman of the British Lung Foundation, as saying: "Whilst this may be a relevant observation it has never been assessed in man, and any recent increase in high phosphate ingestion due to excessive phosphates in processed foodstuffs would be likely to take many years before they could affect tumour development in humans." In other words, don't do anything rash -- like eating healthy food. The Spartan Diet, of course, is 100% free of inorganic phosphates because zero processed food products are on the diet, as well as zero cheese, zero domesticated animal meat and zero canned or bottled beverages.

The Spartan Diet bans all concentrated sweeteners (like sugar and sugar substitutes) and sticks exclusively to honey (to be used sparingly). And like all foods, the Spartan Diet emphasizes the qualitative. So we insist on local, raw, wild, unfiltered honey -- preferably from the local farmer's market. When you buy from the Farmer's Market, the seller can tell you what plants the bees are frequenting. Which is important, because you don't want honey from bees that are pollinating conventional agriculture, as they'll pick up pesticides and other nasty stuff. You should never, ever buy "conventional" honey from the supermarket. Besides the quality being degraded by pasteurization, filtering and other processing, you really don't know what it is you're buying. A brilliant investigative piece published today in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer uncovers a common practice in the international honey trade called " honey laundering " -- low quality, fak...

In addition to being far healthier than cow's or soy milk, Spartan cashew milk tastes a lot better, too. Spartan Cashew Milk is ideal on Spartan Muesli , both because the taste pairing is perfect, but also because the protein in the nuts and oats combine to make complete protein. Spartan Cashew Milk is great on any kind of hot cereal, too, or used in preparing dishes where you would use milk or soy milk. Spartan Cashew Milk Recipe INGREDIENTS 1 cup raw cashews 5 ½ cups water (filtered) 8 dates (or 3 tablespoons, raw honey) 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon cinnamon INSTRUCTIONS 1. Combine all ingredients except for 4 cups of the water in a high speed blender and blend thoroughly until very smooth. 2. Add the rest of the water (use ice water if you want it cold) and quickly blend. 3. Adjust sweetness if desired. NOTES It's best to blend this fresh just before serving. If you have some left over, store it in a jar and use it within three days. Use ab...

The idea of taking lessons from ancient Greece is one of the oldest and most profitable in Western Civilization. During the European Middle Ages, theological philosophers actively studied and emulated the techniques of Plato, Aristotle and other Greek philosophers, and tried to reconcile those ideas with Christianity. The European Renaissance was based in part on the rediscovery of classical Greek aesthetic, political and philosophical ideas. In fact, the whole of Western Civilization is based in large measure upon lessons learned by studying ancient Greece. Modern ideas in politics, academics, philosophy, science, law, architecture, theater, literature and medicine are all based on ancient Greek culture. The American government does its most important business in buildings based on the architecture of Classical Greece. Doctors still take the Hippocratic oath. Once you accept the truth that our own culture has failed to produce a physically healthy population, it makes enormous sense t...

Princeton University researchers have found that sugar alters how the brain works and triggers cravings in a way that duplicates how highly addictive drugs, including heroine and cocaine do. They found also that withdraw symptoms are similar as well.
