DAIRY PRODUCTS
All dairy products should be unpasteurized (raw) whenever possible. Al
though there are medical concerns pertaining to raw vs. unpasteurized
dairy products, the controversy may be more commercial than scientific
in nature. Notwithstanding the unresolved debate that currently exists,
numerous individuals find their health and well-being immeasurably en
hanced through the avoidance of unnecessarily pasteurized products.
(Alta Dena Dairies, City of Industry, CA 91747, has a full line of deli
cious, high-quality raw dairy products.)

Since saturated fats are always to be avoided, pork is the least desirable
meat, beef is the second least desirable, and duck is third. Any cured or

fish). Buy naturally grazed meat and poultry when it is available. Shelton
Farms Poultry, Pomona, CA 91767, is naturally corn-fed and available

possible.
