• hmmm… i am new to raw too, yay! Maybe it means that you can use whatever kind of sticky sweetner you like, like honey, agave nectar, brown rice syrup, maple syrup etc. Good question!

• Hi, the last time I tried white soy beans and chickpeas. The soy beans doubled in size quickly, and had tiny sprout-lings pretty quickly (like overnight). I probably rinsed them 2 times during the day and again in the morning. I dont have cheeseclot…

  in rebounding? anyone do it? Comment by Annabelle77
• Hi! I have an Urban Rebounder brand rebounder. It’s great. I jumped on some cheaper versions at various sports stores, and they sucked in comparison! So, I would completely recommend the Urban Rebounder. It’s a fantastic form of exercise that actual…

• I’d have to look that one up. Melatonin, I think, is a precursor to seratonin… and both of those regulate sleep. I was having insomnia a few months ago, and was taking Melatonin for it. AT the same time I was taking 5HTP for help with a bout of depr…

• I actually just threw out a batch of soaked chickpeas, and logged-in to raw to ask people the same question! I soaked them overnight, and rinsed them for two days. No sprouts… and they smelled bad. How do you prohibit growth of bacteria while sprout…

• My understanding is this: Nuts and seeds have an enzyme-inhibiting coating on them. This is obvioulsy to protect them from decay until they are burrowed in damp earth so they can propagate the species. If you soak them, thus removing the enzyme inhi…

• ha ha! Yes, well we HOPE that the mom was the Rott. We got him from the pound and got a DNA test to see if they were right about the breeds. Loopy is about 20 lbs. He is constantly mistaken for an overweight dog, but it’s just that his rib cage and …

  in Coconut milk/water - what's the difference? Comment by Annabelle77
• From what I know, the longer the coconut is left on the tree, the fattier and denser the liquid becomes… meaning that the milk isnt dehydrated water… the fruit has changed/matured and gotten fattier from the tree’s systems. While the milk and meat a…

• Hi Nicole! The THRIVE book is very very cool. I encountered a problem on my long runs, which I linked to an overconsumption of caffine from the Gels I was using. Coincidently I picked up the Thrive Diet, not really knowing much about it except that …

• True, chlorophyll is pretty amazing stuff… and I would imagine that juicing takes care of the breakdown of fiber… since you barely get any fiber when you drink the juice.

  in Humans can't digest wheatgrass Comment by Annabelle77

• hmmm… well, i’d still be careful. I am a distance runner, and over consumption of water can deplete your body of salt pretty quickly… but this is obvioulsy amplified by large amounts of sweating, so maybe it is diffrerent. When runners die, hyponatr…
