ARTHRITIS AND GOUT – DIET 2
Vegetable oils, such as cold-pressed olive, sunflower, poppy, or linseed oils, should be used in their unrefined state. Anyone suffering from rheumatoid arthritis should never have denatured white sugar on his table. For sweetening, honey and natural sweetness from grapes, sultanas, currants and raisins must take the place of refined white sugar. These dried fruits can be put through a mincer so that they can easily be added to foods for sweetening. Raw rose hip puree made without white sugar is an excellent substitute for the usual jams. Not only white sugar but also white flour and white flour products must be scrupulously avoided. On the other hand, wheat germ taken in limited quantities is an excellent addition to the diet. If vegetables are not eaten raw, care should be taken in their cooking. Never boil vegetables but simply steam them in a little water to preserve their minerals and vitamins. Raw salads are very good seasoned with whey concentrate (Molkosan) or with lemon juice and oil; never add salt and sugar. If at all possible do not use table salt or sharp spices, but replace these by fresh culinary herbs and yeast extract, or use Herbaforce.
