Yes this is very true. Whenever you introduce a chemical or any other 
strange spurious element into your body, you are forcing it to create 
mechanisms (short-circuits, so to say) in order to digest the “intruders”. 
This leads to cellular fatigue and wear-out, DNA mutations and finally to 
cancer. Apart from cancers induced by tobacco, alcohol or electromagnetic 
devices, all the other cancers have a digestive component. Flatulence, 
perhaps the first and foremost sign of digestive trouble, is another 
example of a short-circuit: the body trying to get rid of the poisons. 
Flatulence is caused by many factors, but above all by a high consumption 
of grains. This is to show again how inadequate grains can be to the human 
diet, especially when they are a staple.
