• The good news is that you don’t need to combine foods or create a “complete” protein. That myth has been debunked for a while now, and you can help spread the word (all the biggest, strongest, longest living animals on the planet eat only plants and…

• If you check it out, you will see that there are at least three brands that now produce raw agave nectar. All three of those companies are VERY clear that they do NOT heat the stuff, while another Madhava, makes no such claims, so I would be wary of…

• The agave thing’s come up before: http://goneraw.com/forums/being-raw/topics/our-... on August 30. I checked out some companies and even emailed one and got an answer. Look for Mr. Mickmaster’s post (that’s me) on that thread. They’re ALL lying? I’m…

• One would think that all nuts should sprout, because they are the seeds of the plant that they come from. Maybe not. Click What a Raw Fooder Should Know About Nuts

• Hemp cannot be grown in the U.S., although it used to be required that every farmer set aside a portion of their farm to grow it for the WWI war effort (to make rope and stuff). Interesting that it’s now illegal due to the U.S. drug hysteria. STupid…

  in The worst raw-food confrontation I've ever had Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Springleaf, at least we’re both on the raw food side. However, just to be clear, you are lumping all proteins together as if they are dietary proteins. This is not the case. Whether enzymes are proteins or protein carriers, we are not talking about …

• Argh indeed. Please, let’s be careful to keep our facts straight and not promote some unfounded theories. The readers will get confused and throw their arms up in despair… First, some clarification: Enzymes are both chemical and biological entities …

• Dr. Howell is the man. He was (is he still alive?) the world’s leading authority on enzymes. The stuff he learned is still not really taught in nutritional science. They are still taught the conventional wisdom and look at foods and nutrition from a…

• I think cacao is one of the foods that bring joy to our lives, and we should enjoy it. Theobromine has a mood-enhancing effect. Yes, MOTH, you hit the jackpot. You experienced the joy that food and its nutritive properties give.

  in cafeine cacao Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Caffeine is a naturally occurring substance found in the leaves, seeds or fruits of more than 60 plants. I am perplexed that there would even be a discussion whether raw cacao has a place in a raw food diet. If the food is raw, of course! The amount…

• Folks, it ain’t gonna work. There is no mechanism to release the oils, which is where all the flavor is. It would be like trying to brew pistachios into a beverage. In the name of all that’s raw, someone’s gotta dehydrate them completely, then coars…

  in It is finally here - Raw Coffee! Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Uh, Maybe not. Although I am an original, I would like to think. Sorry your crappy, er, coffee didn’t turn out. I think if you dehydrate the briefly soaked beans, you will get the closest approximation to roasting. They should be crunchy dry, comple…

• I don’t know if I would soak them very long, and I wouldn’t sprout them. I would try to dehydrate them until they are nice and dry and crunchy, then grind them coarse and soak them for 24 hours, then filter and enjoy. That’s how we used to make a co…

• Hi Winona- Like Superfood implied, you might not be eating enough. Most of your list are snacks to me. I would guess you have about 2500 calories there and need to get to 3000 or more with your activity level. If I don’t have a big salad for lunch w…

• BK and melaverde—I’ll buy what you’re saying to a certain extent. You’re right that there was a limited selection of foods in a geographical area due to soil conditions, etc. As for beans, that’s not a good example because we can’t completely digest…

  in Food combining no no? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• I think food combining is crap and that you shouldn’t worry about it. Think about millions of years of evolution, when we wandered around as hominid proto-human primates. When we encountered food, we probably ate as much as we could and either staye…

• I wonder if filtered olive oil is warmed up to thin it and facilitate the filtration process. If so, that’s disappointing, but maybe it’s not above 118 – maybe it’s just enough to warm it. I will investigate.
