• Maybe don’t start by trying to eliminate their favorite stuff. Instead, start offering more raw food in addition to what they’re eating then eventually work on increasing the ratio of raw to cooked. Most kids like fruit, so make sure there’s always …

• Check out this article on “sprout toxicity”. *http://www.annieappleseedproject.org/sprouts.html#. It’s based on actual scientific research. I’m sure that people really mean well when they post, but a lot of the information is based on something they…

• You could check out Mothering Magazine’s website for links. They have also put out a book. Another book which I found particularly useful is What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children’s Vaccinations by Stephanie Cave, M.D. and Deborah Mitchell…

• Here’s a great beginner smoothie by Claudia from the Eat to Live site. It’s not all raw since the object is to get the greens in. The only drawback is that you get chilly drinking it from all the frozen fruit. Chocolate Cherry Smoothie 1 banana 1 …

• Drinking one right now to kick start the day. Usually start with a base of ripe banana, ripe sweet fruit (like pear or mango), juice of half a large lemon and a tsp of cinnamon – then add about 4oz. collards, romaine, baby spin, kale or bok choy the…

• I should say that I’m not against all raw food add ons. I’m addicted to Artisana’s raw organic coconut butter (their really raw tahini’s also very good). I have to stop myself eating it out of the jar and it’s essential in my winter warmer – evil ra…

• Yes, elizabethh, I bought this very expensive product when I first went raw a couple of months ago. I still haven’t finished it. I had just come off a fast and thought it would really enhance my new lifestyle (see all the claims and testimonials). T…

• I’ve seen that clip from the Raw Spirit Festival. This dude is so over the top – it’s fantastic! Pyrotechnics, dancing babes…I had to show my husband, hilarious. But I agree with Zoe, he’s really putting himself out there. I guess he’s feeling the r…

• Wow, thank you so much for that link, justagirl. I have been going back and forth on this topic and was so relieved to read that informative and (for a change) well researched article. I have some safe to eat mung beans soaking right now!

  in Sprout Toxicity Comment by rawfaerie
• I am afraid of eating sprouts now. I never liked them anyway and like stylistchick says – maybe my body is saying avoid them. I don’t know – do we need them? Am I missing out on essential nutrients not eating them? Who do I believe? I’m more muddled…

• Wow, Zoe, I’m so sorry I gave you the wrong idea about your dead food list. When I first read it I thought it was great that there are people out there doing the research and letting the rest of us know the truth. What was depressing about it was th…

• Thanks, everyone. You’re right elizabethh, there really is no need – especially since I’m still eating agave, cashews, nama shoyu, etc. My intention is to get rid of these eventually and see how I feel. I’m trying to build really raw favorites and c…

• Thanks, Ron. I did a brief search on google, but didn’t find anything. I’ll check out the link. I’ve always heard that sprouts are super whole foods, you could live on them, yadayada, but I really don’t like the taste of them either. Maybe this is a…

• ron4540, you’ve mentioned in a couple of posts that sprouts are mildly toxic. Could you site your source? I’m interested in reading up on this topic. I read one article about the natural pesticides contained in sprouts possibly being cumulatively to…

• I’m with shane – I use my vitamix turbo blend 4500 at least twice a day. It makes green smoothies fine enough so my son can drink them in his sippy cup. That’s why I bought it. Next would be my processor and hand blender. The dehydrator I only use a…

• I’ve made the onion bread twice, following the recipe exactly. There do seem to be a lot of onions in the batter, but it all dehydrates down really nicely and looks just like the picture in the book. My SAD husband loves them. Maybe I’m using smalle…

• To avoid the eating disorder label, emphasize to skeptics that you want more food (in the form of raw veg, fruit, sprouts, seeds and nuts) not less. The volume you need to eat to get all your calories and nutrients is much greater than in the SAD. C…
