• NATURAL PRESERVATION: Natural antioxidants; oxygen- and<br />

light-barrier packaging; fats and oils purged of oxygen by special processing<br />

– not synthetic preservatives and permeable packaging permitting<br />

nutrient degradations by oxygen and light.<br />

• NUTRITION-FIRST PROCESSING: Specialized processing to<br />

protect fragile nutrients – not production only to maximize production<br />

rate and profitability.<br />

• OPTIMAL NUTRITION: Specifically designed to mimic archetypal<br />

diets and hence optimize health – not simply meet minimum regulatory<br />

standards to make a minimum “100% complete” claim.<br />

IDEAL PROCESSING METHODS<br />

• COLD PROCESSING: <strong>The</strong> only processing method that does not<br />

destroy important raw natural food attributes.<br />

• WHOLE INGREDIENT STORAGE: Grains and legumes should<br />

not be ground until ready for processing and therefore do not begin<br />

degradation before processing. For example, wheat can lose up to<br />

40% of some nutrients within 12 hours of milling.<br />

• NATURAL INSECT CONTROL: Stored ingredients enrobed with<br />

a special, natural, nontoxic insecticide, which not only suppresses insect<br />

infestation, but is a nutrient as well.<br />

• MOLD AND MYCOTOXIN TESTED AND NEUTRALIZED:<br />

Mycotoxins are an insidious poison potentially present in all dried<br />

foods. <strong>The</strong>y should be tested, and special nutrients incorporated that<br />

bind and neutralize them if present. 1<br />

• EXTRUSION: Dry, wet, and steam injected extrusion of ingredients<br />

maximizes nutritional value. 2<br />
