• Wow, I had friends who changed their dog’s diet (big dog) to vegan… but their dog had problems later and the vet told them he needs protein. So, they converted their dog back to omnivore. It’s neat to hear you were successful! Ani Phyo has a dog… me…

• Maybe the Organic Garden Cafe could have more info… or classes. Or try one of Alissa Cohen’s teacher”:http://www.rawteacher.com/usa.php#Massachusetts There are 7 in MA.

• Thanks deborahann. I have that book and read it. Irradiation destroys between 20-80% of the vitamins… and studies show it has caused increased incidence of tumors in animals… and there’s even more bad news.

  in Nuking our Greens Comment by germin8
• You are right. It doesn’t say anything abour irradiation/pasteurization. Just that there would be a program to reduce the risk of “pathogenic contamination during the production and handling of leafy greens”. They don’t say HOW they will reduce the …

• I thought food was required to be labeled as irradiated… if it were irradiated. But, I searched for one website that says that pasteurization c/would include irradiation… and found: http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/fs/irr… Disturbing. Remind…

• ecvraw: Where can I find about the studies? I would like to read something like that. btw, the burger pictured on your website looks yummy! The lines make it look like a grilled patty.

  in 25% Cooked! Comment by germin8
• I agree… I think the cooked food would be the more “difficult to digest foods”. Maybe cabbage… carrot… depending. Or grains.

  in 25% Cooked! Comment by germin8
• I’ve always wondered about those. Raw pineapple and raw papaya have enzymes to digest protein. If taken as a supplement or not-raw, does your body provide the protein enzyme (bromelain) to digest it and other proteins we’ve eaten at the same time? I…

• Interesting article! Some of the substances commonly referred to as anti-nutrients are actually powerful cancer-protecting phyto-chemicals. These include protease inhibitors and tannins. So, we don’t need to germinate? Well, maybe, germinating is no…

  in Sprout Toxicity Comment by germin8
• I checked Boutenko’s book and it says that about the 3rd to 6th day of sprouting, “sprouts contain higher levels of alkaloids” (pg 103), “as a means of protection from animals nipping them off and killing them.” ...and it “doesn’t mean that sprouts …

  in Sprout Toxicity Comment by germin8
• Victoria Boutenko mentions toxicity of sprouts (very briefly) in her book. They only eat about a handful or two a week. I don’t remember the name of the toxin… but, I will find out and post it. Also, even greens have toxins (according to the lecture…

• Seems like orange juice is too acidic for a fast/flush. Same for tomato juice. A friend of mine recommends a concord grape juice fast. I have only tried it for one day… but I plan to try it sometime for several days.

• Speaking of knives… a ceramic knife (although expensive) is supposed to be best. They do not “oxidize” food or, say, cause your lettuce to “rust”. It is sharp… but does require “special” sharpening and breaks easily. Anyone have a ceramic knife? How…

  in Grrr...Is nothing raw? Comment by germin8
• Someone posted that Cascadian Farms brand flash freezes (no blanching)... so those frozen peas would more enzyme-active. Though, I’m sure the enzymes are affected by freezing. Should probably call them to find out about the flash freezing.

• Oh yeah… I forgot about the chocolate… the Jocalat bars (a Larabar product). The Jocalat bars use all organic ingredients. But again, no germinated nuts, I assume… so, almost-perfect raw product.

  in Are Larabars completely raw? Comment by germin8
• I called Larabar months ago to ask about the nuts being germinated. They could not answer my question nor anyone else there (at that time). So, I assumed they are not germianted… and an almost-perfect raw product. The fruit is raw, living… since the…
