• 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 />
