• Mami, I bought them and would go with “scam”. I found no difference between putting stuff in the bags and putting carefully wrapped produce in the vegetable crisper of my refrigerator. The bananas I left in the bag on the kitchen counter turned just…

• I know we have spoken about this before, but what about the phytoestrogens in flax and hemp? I do eat those, but am not 100% convinced that they are safe either. I have found no research negating their benefits, but am leary because they are phytoes…

• If you live in NYC, you can take your composting trash to the Union Square Greenmarket. I just keep our organic waste in the freezer, and when the bag is full I bring it over there.

• Alix1962, unfortunately we’re still ahead in that area. What a dubious honor.

• I use a raw, organic powder called “Field of Greens.” You can definitely buy it at Whole Foods or the Vitamin Shoppe. I like it a lot.

• queenfluff, I eat all the things you mentioned except cashews. I definitely have fewer grays since going raw, so I think you are right. I also now only shampoo 1-2x per week with minimal shampoo. I definitely have seen a difference and feel that my …

• Ladies, thank you for all your great input. It’s funny, after all this discussion, I’m actually questioning if I still want to continue with the hair coloring. I don’t have a ton of gray (yet), and my husband keeps insisting it’s sexy (I have a good…

• queenfluff, thanks so much for your input. O.K., forget ecocolors—guess I was taken in by the “packaging.” Based on what everyone has written, I’ll try henna again. There is a Lush store around the corner from me, so I’ll check out the “caca” henna …

• Thanks Raw Chocoholic. Good to know about the gray coverage, as I always heard the opposite.

• greenie, I just used Naturtint today and really liked it (just found out about ecocolors). It felt a lot less “chemically” on my head than Aveda (supposedly “natural”, done at a salon for $100) and Garnier box color (totally unnatural and $7). I do …

• Very interesting about the green smoothies—you actually have objective data that shows how good they are. I would just say pay attention to how you feel more than anything, with the yearly check-ups as a precaution. It sounds like you are doing all …

• Hi Limelady, yes, I have dealt with this too. I am 5’5 1/2” and between 100-102. I actually had a therapist refuse to see me because of my “eating disorder” (just as well, doing fine without her!). Before I went raw, I cut out bread and wheat produc…

• I still encounter a lot of skepticism and incredulity when I tell people I am raw—even people working in holistic health. So, this forum has really provided a sense of community and support. I learn so much from being here and am endlessly intereste…

• kminty, can you use KT’s Kombucha as a starter? Or does the bottling change the tea? You’ve given me courage. I have found some directions on the internet, so once I have the scoby, I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

• kminty, I’ve been wanting to make my own kombucha for a long time but haven’t felt confident about it. I thought about buying the kit for $50, but wanted to know if it’s easy to do without it. It looks a little complicated, but it could just be my “…

• Zoe, I’m curious (and I know there’s has been a recent thread about this, too); what are your doubts about the MC? I have never wanted to do it and intuitively feel there’s something not quite right about it. This is not based on anything but my gut…

• Kombucha tea is also great—very satisfying and quite good as an appetite suppressant.
