CHEMICALS IN FOOD HAVE SPECIFIC JOBS If we accept that chemical elements are necessary for health, we must accept that a lack of proper quantity of chemicals can lead to health problems. In the human body, science has determined that chemical deficiencies affect not only the physical structure of tissue, but also its functional activities. In other words, without proper potassium supply the heart tissue (our bodys largest muscle) will not be healthy, and this will impair the hearts ability to function. Some organs and bodily structures are more seriously affected by deficiencies in one chemical element then others, because some organs act as special repositories of storehouses for those elements. For example, the thyroid gland stores iodine and the fingernails, hair, and skin store silicon. Therefore we assume if iodine of silicon are lacking in the respective organs in which they are stored, the same elements are almost certainly deficient in the rest of the body. The rest of the body has used up the reserves at this point. When one vitamin is depleted, the others cant be far behind. For example, vitamin B cannot be held in the body unless there is enough silicon to hold it until it is used. Other vitamins are similarly linked to the chemical foundations established to hold them until needed. When we are using a balanced food regimen, these chemical elements are being replaced as rapidly as they are being utilized. When we lack any chemical elements, disease may develop and symptoms appear. Each of these chemical elements comes to us from the earth, is assimilated in foods, and must be eaten in proper amounts by humans in order to function properly. In Health-John (: EASTMANS FINTESS
