• I cycle A LOT, and I’ve been eating a raw vegan diet for about three months. I haven’t noticed much difference in energy levels since going raw. If anything, I’ve gotten stronger. I feel cleaner, if that makes any sense. I don’t cycle competitively …

• I believe in moderation and variety, too. Except when it comes to tangerines and clementines, then I gorge without apology. Also bananas. Also kale, spinach, collards, so maybe I’m not into moderation after all. I guess I don’t get why one fruit or …

• Thanks, Newbie. Sorry for the bad link; that’s the article. What caught my eye was: “The scoring system will let consumers compare different types of the same food, so they will be able to tell not only that fruit is healthier than candy, but which …

• I have the same question as Bluedolfin. I’m also wondering about capsaicin. Do you like peppers? I read the same report as Deborahann, and I think if I had Type 1 diabetes I’d be eating a lot of red hot chili peppers. Also, the thing about exersize …

• Hey stylistchick, how could you figure out a way to get more greens in your diet? I do a smoothie in the morning, a salad for lunch, then another smoothie at night, and I’ve been doing this for about three months. I’m eating a huge amount of greens,…

• Thanks for all of your hard work getting the site back together again. I missed it here, and had to resort to other raw sites… The others are okay, but there’s something special here. Thanks for existing—I appreciate you very much!

• Hey odalys, I was wondering about chard, dandelion greens, beet greens, carrot greens, bok choy, and all of the diffent species of lettuce? Goitrogenic? Maybe you’ve already seen the article on world’s healthiest foods dot com? http://www.whfoods.co…

• Are you taking MSM? I find that when I take it I have similar and ferocious egg burps.

• I’m reading Graham’s 80/10/10, great stuff, and I’m learning a lot. My diet is WAY too rrrrich in ffffffaaaaat. Thanks, SocaL, for the advice to read Graham’s work! I have questions that maybe he answers later on. If we stick to a diet of mainly fru…

• Great writing and sentiments here. There are wonderful teachers in the Buddhist community. One I love is Pema Chodron. She writes that no matter how perfect our diet is, or how perfect our exersize programs are, and no matter how perfect we make our…

• I’m struggling with this same issue, especially eating a lot of nut butters. But I’m wondering about the advice that’s so often given to ”...listen to your body…” If your body is telling you that you need more fat because of winter’s approach, then …

• I have trouble meeting daily requirements for selenium, zinc, b12, D, and calcium. Unless I eat a lot of nuts and seeds. Even then I’m just making minimums, and never getting any D unless I eat loads of mushrooms or get more sunshine. B12? According…

• My stomach is fine with wheatgrass, either on an empty stomach or full. Sprouts are another story, though. I can eat them fine, but I cannot juice them or blend them in a smoothie without gagging. Just this morning I tried. This morning I made THE m…

• We write: “Life is all about balance” and “Balance is key!” I’m not being flip when I ask—what in the world is “balance” when it comes to eating? SocaL: how do you suppose Graham would answer Katie’s (Weil’s?) interesting claim about environmental t…

• Hey Chella, I’m more or less on a similar path, sans a beautiful wife. For the past two months I’ve eaten mostly green smoothies with a similar emphasis on dark greens, and a wide variety of raw, organic vegetables. I eat a lot of young coconuts, ma…

• I sent Vitamix an email that said: “I have a Vita-Mix 4500 turbo, and I’m concerned about the toxicity of Bisphenol A in the plastic container. Will you be offering a container made of Eastman Tritan copolyester for the 4500?” Thanks” A Vitamix rep …

• Thanks, Shaker, for the informative posts. I, too, am bummed by this news because I’ve been using my vitamix for quite a while and I’ve hope it’s been contributing to my good health. What you’re writing sounds intuitively right to me, but I don’t ha…

• Thanks for the cheerful info, guys. Looks like I’m going to plant some aloe. It turns out there are, of course, many species. Nothing in life is simple. And, one species may be toxic if consumed? hmmm Bluedolfin, have you done any research as to whi…

• Bluedolfin, thanks for the great mannose information. But I’m wondering what you mean by freshly cut. I buy individual aloe leaves from a farmer’s market. They’re just single leaves in a pile, I select one, then bring it home. Then I leave it sittin…
