Ezekiel bread: Is it God's recipe for wellness?

Is it at all possible that the God-given recipe for Ezekiel bread could be the only food you’d ever need?  Carol Levergood, the author of “God’s recipe”, discovered the Ezekiel Bread recipe she wrote about in her book that revealed scientifically some amazing facts.  Used in the right combination, Ezekiel bread closely mirrors the amount of protein found in milk and eggs.  In addition, when you combine the six grains and legumes (beans) together the overall outcome produces a high quality of protein that is 84.3% as efficient, containing 18 essential amino acids from all natural vegetable sources.  Now, if that isn’t a God-thing, nothing else is.
