As regards Hunza diet bread, I'm certain that the key is the "Glacier Milk" used in the recipe. I recently stumbled across this information doing research on coral calcium. It seems that the water consumed on the island of Okinawa, Japan, like the "Glacier Milk" drunk by the Hunza, gets it's milky appearance from coral deposits. (Okinawa is an island formed out of a huge coral reef built up over millions of years) The chemical analysis of this milky liquid reveals that it consists not only of calcium, but of 72 other minerals in similar proportions to the minerals found in a healthy human body. Many claims as to the benefits derived from consuming this "Glacier Milk" are made by the Okinawans and the Hunza. It seems to make them happy, thin, free of disease, and long-lived. I found the equivalent to this "milk" in this finely ground coral powder from a company in Nevada (they buy it from Okinawa). I mix it with water (it is milky looking) and drink it twice a day. This is my fourth day. I feel great! My appetite has shrunk and myenergy level is steadily rising. I sleep like a log and can concentrate much better. I can imagine that the bread would be quite effective in many ways and intend to try some. The coral calcium came from Health Nutrients Inc. I highly reccommend it. I have the ordering info on a reciept which I can't find right now, but I'll find it and post it soon. Auracee

I believe that many people are being misled when it comes to the true nature of the diet of the Hunza people. Let me tell all of you some facts I have extracted from a book I've had for years. This excerpt comes from the book "No Oil, No Fat Vegetarian Cook book by Trudy Hoffman" Copyright 1970 The Low Fat Diet of the Hunza People By Jay M Hoffman, PhD: One reason the people of Hunza land live well into their hundreds and die of old age, and not disease is their low-fat diet. Oil, Fat, and grease cannot be purchased in Hunza land. The only oil the native people ever use is from the apricot kernel; and they make very little of it, and it is used only medicinally. When a person is cut, it is washed with wine (which is antiseptic), and then saturated with raw apricot kernel oil. The people in Hunza land are doing something right. Americans could easily live for over a hundred years and die of old ageif they would live like the people in Hunza land. America is the wealthiest and most highly educated nation in the world, yet it is also the sickest, as over 55% of citizens die of blood-vascular and heart disease. 20% die from cancer, and that is rising! All cooking oils and fats go through a refining process. Even though a label may read "Cold Pressed", that does not mean "Cold Processed". Cold processed oil is virtually impossible to find, except maybe in Italy! Truly cold processed oil will even become rancid in the refrigerator after a short time. Most oils are cold pressed initially, then cooked and refined so they will not spoil. So, while the label may say "cold pressed", they do not tell you that they cook the oil afterwards! Here is what you need to know: A statement from Scott Grundy, FDA: "It is most likely that unsaturated fats cause plasma cholesterol to be redistributed into the tissues. We have obtained no evidence whatsoever that they cause a depletion of body pools of cholesterol other than plasma. These "healthy oils" are anything but! Cholesterol is simply being redistributed into the tissues and the ARTERIES! Where is the cholesterol being redistributed? Into the ARTERIES and TISSUES, in the form of CHOLESTEROL PLAQUES! The simple fact is this: Do not believe that polyunsaturated fats are ok. They are not. The redistribution of cholsterol into the arteries and tissues will cause arteriosclerosis! It does not matter if it is Canola, Sunflower, Safflower, Peanut, or Corn...it will harm you. Butter is even worse, as the fat is saturated. Avoid oils completely. True, raw olive oil is ok if used sparingly. The best way to stay healthy is to only eat fats in their natural state- from nuts that are raw, or from whole grains. The Hunzas eat this way: 10% natural fat, 10% protein, 80% complex carbohydrates. The recipes that I have seen on the internet for "Hunza Bread" are not really ok...they all call for canola, safflower, or sunflower oil. I have eaten a true, raw bread I purchased at a health food store and it was a type of Hunza bread. It was made from all raw ingredients, such as dates, raisins, raw whole seeds, and it was delicious. Above all, avoid anything that is HYDROGENATED or PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED...they cause cancer. Read labels- avoid the hydrogenated oils like the plague! Eat as much raw food as possible! Raw juices are the finest foods imaginable!

This is the Logan Bread recipe my neighbors use. OK, it is not EXACTLY the same, but since it is several years old, I think the Hunza Bread people tweaked it some, and claimed it for their own. I typed in the introduction just as is on the recipe from my neighbors. Logan Bread: Logan Bread is a delicious, DENSE, chewy Bread that's VERY NUTRITIOUS and is ALMOST IMPERVIOUS to SPOILAGE! This makes a huge batch of sixty 2-inch squares, HIGH in Protein, Vitamins, and Minerals. Keeps weeks at Room Temperature, EVEN LONGER in the Fridge and INDEFINITELY in the Freezer. The Recipe for this WONDERFUL Bread is as follows - *4 lbs. (14 1/2 cups) Whole Wheat/Kamut or Spelt Flour *1 1/2 cups Sucanat (dehydrated Cane Juice) *1/2 cup Instant Dry (or Soy) Milk *1 tsp. Sea Salt *2 tsp. Rumford's (Non-Aluminum) Baking Powder *1 tsp. Cinnamon *1 tsp. ground Nutmeg *1 cup chopped Nuts (see below) *4 cups PURE Water *1 1/4 cups Honey *1 1/2 cups Blackstrap Molasses *1 1/4 cup Sunflower Oil (or other HEALTHY Oil) *2 cups Dried Fruit (see below). Preheat oven to 300oF.. To blended dry ingredients, add Water, then Honey, Molasses, Oil and Fruit. Pour batter about an inch thick into oiled Pans and bake 1 hr.

If NEED be in an EMERGENCY, you could substitute other comparable and/or various other NUTRITIOUS Ingredients, if the ANY of above are NOT AVAILABLE!
