Issue
Identification

In the last decades all the world has become overflowed by a wave of terrible illnesses:
diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, oncology, obesity, heavy gastro-intestinal diseases,
and others.
Today, unfortunately, we can observe a tendency to increase of the level of such
diseases. The reasons seem quite obvious: deteriorating global ecological conditions
and imperfect food.
The analysis of the world nutrition, especially in developed countries, has shown that
the majority of foodstuffs offered to its consumers by modern food industry are refined
products, which as a result of industrial processing lack most valuable nutritious
components: vitamins, microelements, food fibres.
For example, the grinding stage of the manufacture process of first and high grade flour
requires removal of all most valuable parts of grain: seed embrio, aleuronic layer,
covers. The remaining endosperm (central part of grain) does not have any biological
value. Therefore the bread and the majority of bakery, macaroni and confectioneries
which compose the basic food allowance of the population are made of such flour.
Sugar, salt, cereals, vegetable oils and a lot of other products undergo similar
processing. Various harmful substances entering human body with air, food, water,
medicines daily affect a human body. They inflict irreparable harm to an organism,
breaking all major functions of its systems. To get rid of these damaging matters people
need agents that will neutralise the negative effect. Refined food causes deficit of such
substances necessary for normal functioning of a human body.

Possible
Innovative
Problem
Solution

To prevent dangerous illnesses, and also to preserve and maintain human health, it is
necessary, to have a product which would combine the following properties:
1. It should be ecologically clean
2. It should provide people with a range of necessary nutritious and biologically
valuable substances balanced and assimilated by the organism
3. It should allow continuous decontamination of human organism from toxic wastes,
carcinogens and other harmful substances.
A possible solution was found 1987 when whole-grain non-flour bread TONUS was
created and patented in Russia. The bread is made from whole sprouted grain.
According to the "know-how" of this bread, grain is first subject to superficial clearing,
then dunking, leading up grain to a germination stage, then crushing which turns
sprouted grain into dough, and finally baking according to the traditional scheme.
Manufacturing bread "TONUS" in this unusual way has caused a revolution in the
world of bread-making industry. Bread created according to the new technology
possesses magnificent medical and prophylactic properties. It looks like any usual bread
but its taste leaves all flour-type breads far behind

Bread
Advantages

The main value of bread "TONUS" is that it offers maximum biological activity of all
those substances which whole grain contains (vitamins, microelements, amino acids,
food fibres) and which many times grow in quantity during the process of grain
germination.
"TONUS" contains a full set of vitamins of group B: B1 (), B2
(),
3 (), B6 (), B5 ( acid), B8 (), B9 (folic
acid).
"TONUS" is rich with vitamin E, has vitamin C.
"TONUS" contains a full set of microelements necessary for an organism:
magnesium,
zinc, selenium, iron, manganese, copper, silicon, phosphorus, calcium, iodine etc.
Protein of "TONUS" corresponds to the quality of ideal protein as it unlike
protein of the flour breads, balances amino acid composition including irreplaceable
amino acids of a germ and aleurone layer.
The research of the biological value of bread "TONUS" carried out at the
Institute of Biophysics, Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, has proved
extraordinary high ability of "TONUS" to increase the level of haemoglobin and
erythrocites in blood.
Another benefit of bread "TONUS" is that it contains a considerable quantity
of food fibres which at the expense of absorbing properties carefully clear all internal
organs of the organism.
At the daily use of 250-300 grams of bread "TONUS", the organism receives
the daily norm of food fibres (40-60g). According to numerous research, food fibres of
wheat have the highest absorbing effect in comparison with food fibres of other

products, including vegetables and fruit, which require a daily consumption of a few
kilograms.
The structure and the sizes of food fibres of "TONUS" are such that they allow
to clear carefully of wastes all the surface of the gastro enteric tract.
"TONUS" bread accompanying other food which always contains a certain
quantity of harmful or not assimilated substances, helps the food fibres of "TONUS" to
absorb these substances, without allowing them to be absorbed in blood.
Simultaneously the food fibres of "TONUS" stimulate and strengthen peristalsis
intestines and reduce the time needed for the intestines to empty themselves after food
intake to 7-8 o'clock while refined food needs 26-27 hours and even more (about 3
days), causing various serious illnesses of the gastro enteric tract, including cancer.
Soluble food fibres of "TONUS", arriving through capillaries in our blood
system due to the absorbing properties clear blood of wastes, toxins, carcinogens,
surplus of cholesterol, simultaneously restoring and supporting the elasticity of the
vessels.
Thus, bread "TONUS" is truly an invaluable product which provides accurate
harmonious work of an organism supplying the cells of the organism with full
value pollution-free food, and disposing of wastes from the vital functioning cells
completely and in good time.
Effect on
Human
Organism

Numerous researches carried out in many countries of the world aimed at studying the
influence of whole grain products on human organism, confirm the extraordinary
medical and prophylactic properties of these products (the review of research works on
380 p. Whole - grain foods in health and disease, 2002, St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A.).
At the top of these products is bread "TONUS".
As a result of use of 100 % sprouted grains, a considerable quantity of food
fibres, thin structures, bread "TONUS" has the highest effect of medical and
prophylactic influence on an organism, possessing at the same time wonderful taste
qualities and magnificent soft porous structure of a crumb. No other bread in the world
can claim such properties and qualities.
On the basis of numerous foreign researches including research conducted in
the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in the Krasnoyarsk children's
hospital, in the Tver regional clinical hospital, in the diabetic centre of Bulgaria,
impressive results of the influence of bread "TONUS" on human organism have been
received. They are as follows:
Bread "TONUS" at the regular use of 250-300 grams a day
stimulates the peristaltic of intestines and strengthens the motor function of bileconcluding ways, removing constipation, preventing diarrhoea, stomach ulcer,
bilious-stone illness

 relieves the organism of wastes, carcinogens, salts of heavy metals,

radioactive and other harmful substances, providing continuous maintenance of
healthy gastro-intestinal tract, liver, kidneys, and other internal organs of the
organism
stimulates blood formation, increasing formation of haemoglobin and
erythrocytes, cleans blood and vessels, preventing formation of blood clots,
exceeding of level of sugar and cholesterol, normalizes blood composition
prevents oncological diseases (first of all cancer of stomach and
intestines, also breast cancer and prostate gland cancer)
prevents and treats diabetes, having low glycemic index
prevents and stops cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, ischemic
illness, atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke)
prevents obesity and reduces excess weight
"TONUS" is recommended by Health Ministry of Russian Federation, Food
Institute of Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and the Diabetic Centre of Bulgaria
as a healthy product for all people, including school and preschool children, and
those in need of diabetic and other diets.

Conclusion

In conclusion it is necessary to emphasise that bread "TONUS" represents an ideal

product, which
* provides people with a complete range of all substances necessary, balanced
and assimilated by the organism due to the use of whole sprouted grain
* carries out constant careful cleaning of the gastro-intestinal tract, blood,
vessels and other internal organs of organism at the expense of the big quantities
of the food fibres deducing wastes, carcinogens and other harmful substances
*TONUS" prevents and relieves people from terrible illnesses of civilization
(obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular and oncological diseases, heavy gastro-intestinal
illnesses) and provides high level of health of the population.
It is also necessary to mention another important advantage of bread "TONUS", which
is the 25-30 % economy of grain in comparison with flour bread.
Therefore, it is necessary to make only one step replace flour bread with wholegrain sprouted bread "TONUS".
