• i react very badly to braggs (mad stomach pain and headaches), and have no reaction to small amounts of ume plum vinegar (i use eden brand, their red wine vinegar is also good). so i would say braggs is worse.

• 1- eating cooked foods creates an enzyme deficit. the enzymes in our body were never meant to be used for digesting foods. since enzymes catalyze virtually every biological reaction in existence, and since we only started eating cooked food about 35…

• to be honest i’ve never had sunburn, but i would still say 5 hours in the sun is a little excessive. the truth is, we have depleted the ozone layer. so while the sun is still our friend, i try to keep in mind that its still not as safe as it was whe…

• if you’re okay with it, you might want to invest in some cheap staples such as lentils, buckwheat, sunflower seeds, etc…generally low glycemic works great for budget raw diets. sprouted grains are great. sprouts in general are fantastic.

• definitely not raw…everything, and i mean EVERYTHING in a can or glass bottle in a grocery store (exception: raw apple cider vinegar, high ph) has been pasteurized to kill clostridium botulinum spores.

• i like sprouted buckwheat and lentils…i don’t really eat any other grains or legumes. (technically buckwheat is a fruit, not a grain). they make great staples for low-glycemic and cheap meals.

• don’t take my word for it but from what i know coffee is a diuretic, so the bloating could just be a result of your body getting used to getting rid of water at a normal rate not accelerated by coffee? just a thought, good luck!
