• Hi pianissima..I used to make a face mask from the leaf jelly. It seemed to tighten the pores and my skin was really soft after rinsing.

• I don’t think carob tastes much like chocolate..but it has its own rich pleasant taste. I agree with germin8 that certain recipes using carob can be deelish! Try and and give us your feedback.

• I agree with Sky Princess and rawmama…fluoride that is added to toothpaste may not be good for you. It is a waste by-product that is used in toothpastes as a gimmick. I use Weleda salt toothpaste with baking soda..very refreshing!! Whole Foods sells…

• Thank you Japan Love for this rational response. I agree totally. As for the fluoride content..this should never be a concern with green tea. The fluoride in tea is organically bound and chemically different from the fluoride you find in commercial …

• “Caffeine is a toxin and doesn’t belong in our body in any amounts from any source.”...Tell this to the many centarians who have consumed green tea for the majority of their lives. This is your opinion and I respect it but indeed it is not a fact. Y…

• Point well taken and an interesting analogy Greenie, although I wouldn’t compare green tea to a Big Mac. :-) The difference is that eventually, those people who consume Big Macs daily will wind up with multiple health problems (whether they feel fin…

• Greenie…that reaction is unusual. There are millions of people who consume green and white teas and feel fine. Green and white teas contain some of the most potent antioxidants known. If consumed in large quantities, green and white teas can indeed …

• I am surprised to hear these results with green and white tea. I used to drink a lot of green and white tea and I still drink it sometimes, but not often. I admit I still drink tea but switched to red (Rooibos) tea. It is caffeine free and low in ta…

• If your not 100% raw and can live with a natural but not raw deodorant…I suggest Aubrey Men’s stock herbal pine deodorant ..it is a spray deodorant and its great for men and women alike…very refreshing! scent and it feels cool and light on the skin.

• Durian is not for everybody. Andrew Zimmerm, a chef, food critic and host of the show “Bizarre Foods” has traveled the world and tried thousands of strange and exotic foods (including many bugs, worms and other bizarre foods). He couldn’t take the t…

• Hi Justbeautiful. Well, it wouldn’t be the end the of world if you ate Durian as part of a dessert, but they are are already high in sugars and really do taste better alone…I found that Durian added to cakes or candies are too rich and not particula…

• I love Durian..I used to get the fresh pulp in a cup at an organic market by the beach in Florida…it is delicious! Kind of a combination of vanilla custard and onions..sounds gross but it’s savory, lushes and yummy!!! Sometimes I put the pulp in a b…

• Agreed. It should be remembered that “supplements> was the original post topic, not just vitamins so I am glad you shared your experience with others. But I call for peace. :-) Let’s all remember that we still can share in the joy of eating whole…

• 123..I’m not sure about this study and it is quite old. There have been thousands of studies since then on B vitamins and other isolated nutrients showing safety and benefits. You can get B12 from plant sources yes, but the intrinsic factor is requi…

• 123..I’d be interested in seeing all of this science you are referring to. Alternatively, you can go to www.pubmed.gov and see thousands of studies on the potential benefits of supplemental nutrients. I do agree that when the diet is optimal, a heal…

• Hi Friskygimp..I wanted to offer my perspective on this issue. I disagree that vitamin supplements are “poisonous” or “drugs” . Such statements have no basis in science. Simply put, there is absolutely NO proof anywhere that multi-vitamins are dange…

• Many men have low testosterone and DHEA levels on their 60’s. Consider supplementing with zinc (an aromatase inhibitor) or adding zinc rich foods into your diet (raw pumpkin seeds are a great source). You may also want to consider supplemental DHEA …

  in Embarrassing question for the men Comment by forrestlyone
• That is a good question..perhaps your body may be craving Omega 3 fatty acids. Flax Oil contains ALA (an Omega 3 precursor) which most people can convert into EPA and DHA, but sometimes this does not happen as efficiently in some people. Walnuts may…

• Sabriya I respectfully disagree with Weazelchef regarding floating stools. Healthy stools sink too. Floating stools often mean there is more air in them and thus they float. In fact, floating stools in some cases indicate malabsorption. Usually, hea…

• I think there are toxic substances in the pit, besides the beneficial oils. The toxin is known as persin, which actually is being studied to kill breast cancer cells. I would still stay clear of eating them.

• I use the salt toothpaste by Weleda. I am quite sure it’s not raw, but it is very pure and refreshing. ...I guess my point is that I am trying raw foodism, but not raw oral care.

• I wasn’t comparing it to black tea. Even black tea has a relatively low caffiene compared with Coffee. Alas, you have a point regarding the actual caffeine content, but as the body absorbs less caffeine from green tea it really equates to green tea …

  in HIGH RAW??????????? Comment by forrestlyone
• I wouldn’t worry about the caffeine content in green tea too much, as their is very little per cup. Rooibos tea, also known as red tea, has no caffeine and is loaded with antioxidants including SOD. (it’s also delicious and naturally sweet)

• These are great suggestions..I will try them all..the lemon with warm water sounds like it could help..I also love avocados so I will go easy on the nuts and definatly soak them first. Thanks both of you!!!
