Before I ever got into living foods I was making observations on people. I
was teaching at an international school in South America in Chile. I
noticed that the generation of Japanese/Korean junior high students who had
grown up on the more western diet replete with more meat, chemicals,
additives, preservatives, sugars, etc. grew much taller than their parent's
generation. I felt later this was due to the effect of chemicals on the
endocrine system that stimulated growth. Any thoughts,
