Dr. Abram Hoffer states: "The classical deficiency diseases ... have been replaced by a more subtle pervasive group of diseases of malnutrition due to deficiencies of vitamins and minerals combined with a surplus of calories from the sugars and a deficiency of food fiber. Hunger is no longer a problem; chronic diseases from 'affluent malnutrition' is… There is another form of malnutrition cellular hunger. The body is unable to metabolize food properly because of a deficiency of nutrients even though caloric intake is adequate and often more than adequate. Medical schools have ignored nutrition and the role of modern nutrition (or affluent malnutrition) in the causation of a large number of chronic degenerative diseases."
