To get you started here is a link on humans eating meat...yes its a vegetarian site, but if you dont beleive it keep digging, and not the governments food triangle, its purpose is not to keep you healthy, but to support things such as the meat industry. http://michaelbluejay.com/veg/natural.html I am on a raw food diet and OMG I feel better than ever. I've gone from a tired grumpy sluggish person to feeling alive, mind body and spirit. Yes I had the dry skin during the first few weeks when my body was releasing toxic waste, and had my days that I felt like crap. If you do your research and eat responsibly on a raw food diet then you will have more nutrition than your body ever has had, including protien. I suggest putting all your raw foods in a blender and blend away, that way you are sure to consume the right amount to keep your body balanced and healthy. I am sure this article was done with good intention, but always look deeper when you really want the truth, not just the truth you want to hear!

The points you should be answering are the following Does cooking food significantly reduce its nutrition? You don't answer this. You just give a nonsense wishy-washy half answer. Does a raw food diet give you more energy? This is what I'm actually curious about. Plus your tone is awful. Very angry and sarcastic. I can't believe you got so many positive comments.

Does a raw food diet give you more energy? This is what I’m actually curious about.

Plus your tone is awful. Very angry and sarcastic. I can’t believe you got so many positive comments.

How could this be a good article if it is not based on facts? You did a research? Just can't agree with it... Let's see only one of your points: " White blood cells flood the stomach after eating cooked food" who, ever said that? Actually it is: "Dr. Kouchakoff's discovery concerned leukocytes (the white blood cells). It was found that after a person eats cooked food, his/her blood responds immediately by increasing the number of these cells." from http://www.rawfoodinfo.com/articles/art_leukocytosisandcooked.html So what now? twisting the info just to prove your point? Well done! These are only your thoughts, man. How could this be a good article if it is not based on facts? You did a research? Just can’t agree with it…

In your article, "What is a Raw Food Diet.", you said the body produces it's own enzymes. However, the raw foodists' sites say those enzymes are for the body's own use to break down a nutrient atom into it's elements for use by the body and the raw food enzymes help to break down the food in the stomach. Their point is that when we cook foods, we destroy that food's enzymes which then must be replaced by the body's limited enzymes. So, does this mean that I am harming my body when I cook my vegetables. Hi Melanie

Hi Kath, Yes, I agree with you, everything has a time and a place, both raw and cooked. We don't want to be excessive in anything. But, the fact that iron is more easily absorbed from meat, demonstrates to me that a little in the diet is a good thing. Hey Christy,
