• Vitamins, especially water-soluble, are affected by cooking. Fats and proteins are affected by cooking.

  in Conventionally Raw vs. Cooked Organic Comment by TomsMom
• No, cooking will not lessen the harm of the pesticides, unfortunately. well, some might be broken down somewhat with heat. It depends on the chemical involved and the heat.

• Conventional raw! Eating the cooked foods would put me right back to where I was, no question.

• I’ve never heard that organic foods have twice the nutrition. How is that?

• Before I forget: they say that most of the info on their lists take into consideration washing and/or peeling. Taht means that the apples(for example) were washed, so you see the pesticide inside the fruit itself, not the outside.

• I don’t know who these guys are, but tell me what you think of the list they give on fruits in the order of pesticide load. I’d like to know too. http://www.foodnews.org/ I never know which one can absorb into the fruit itself, you know? And yeah, i…

• There’s no recommended daily, I don’t think, but I sure wish I could eat the amount you do and look as good as you! Some people do great on lots of healthy fats and oils and some don’t.

• I read that the fresh fruits are routinely pasteurized before drying, but I don’t know how, if by heat or chemical. Also, which kind are dried in ovens or on the tree. I wish I knew; I love using them as a sweetner and texturizer.

• I have troubles, too, if I eat much more than an ounce of some kinds of nuts, like walnuts. Very sluggish and don’t feel well. But flax seeds have given me no problems so far. You really need the omega-3 in it. I take about 2 to 3 tablesspoons of gr…

• I’ve been a chronic insomniac(sp?) since I was 11 years old and trying to sleep every night is agony. However, since I’ve been on the raw diet, the few hours I sleep have been much, much deeper and satisfying, with good dreams. I do read often that …

• You’re feeding your dog an appropriate diet for a dog, good for you! A real animal lover respects her baby’s health and his diet should have nothing to do with yours. Of course you’re still a vegan:-)

  in Need a little medical advice please Comment by TomsMom
• FleshMechanic, there is nothing bad or harmful about eating a fresh healthy diet while pregnant. You will NOT sicken or harm or pollute you baby by NOT eating junk. I’ve heard this sort of nonsense pop up before. It’s bunk. HOWEVER, flushing is not …

  in Is this site Vegan? Comment by TomsMom
• It’s a vegan site. The people who run it have stated this several times. We don’t tell them what to do. I know there are other types of raw food forums out on the Net, including those that deal with folks who eat raw meat/fish/eggs/dairy. I think th…

• I’m sorry about the tooth; I hope you’re not in a lot of pain, Jeebs! Maybe today might be a good day to use the blender or processor and make yourself some raw apple sauce or other fruit puree! I went almost 100 percent raw at once, so I would not …
