At the core of Ohsawa's
writings was the concept of
yin and yang – in Chinese
philosophy, the opposing
forces that govern all of
life. Adherents believe
that yin and yang must
be kept in balance to
achieve life-harmony.

/ In macrobiotics, foods
considered either ex-
tremely yin or yang are
avoided. Grains and vegeta-
bles, considered to be the least yin
and yang, are favored. A macro-
biotic diet may consist of 50-60%
whole grains, 25-30% vegetables,
5-10% beans/lentils and sea veg-
etables, 5-10% soups/broths, and
limited servings of nuts, seeds and
fresh fish. Animal-based foods
(e.g., meat and dairy) and refined/
processed foods are avoided.

A macrobiotic diet may require
nutrient supplementation. Cura-
tive claims (e.g., cancer) are not
supported by credible scientific
evidence. I hope this helps.

New book takes historic look
at Detroit's main drag.

nswer: Dear Beryl, a
macrobiotic diet is as much
philosophy as a way of
eating. Modern macrobiotics was
started in the 1920s by George Oh-
sawa, a Japanese educator/philoso- ,,
pher. In the U.S., the macrobiotic
diet was popularized by Michio
and Aveline Kushi, who founded
the supportive Kushi Institute.
