• There are various studies out about calcium that contradict what the Milk Industry is trying to push on you. (Imagine that!!!) I was actually researching this a couple of days ago, I don't have any links at the moment. I didn't book mark them but I …

• ya, next time i will blend less, there has to be 1000's of raw combos for icecream. Maybe a raw icecream diet would be cool, just eat icecream all day. Anybody make anykind of veggie/nut icecream, is that possible??? lol

• The problem here is we have articles saying it is not raw, which is fine. I think there are studies online that say THIS FOOD is good, and then studies that say THIS FOOD is bad, and if you look for it, you will find it. But I have a real issue with…

• I think it depends on the produce you are eating, and it would also depend on the cooked food you are eating as well, as far as chemicals go. check out this link: http://www.organicconsumers.org/organic/pesticide-residues.cfm If it's non-organic, th…

• "One way" to determine if muscle is being lost, would involve strength training. If you become weaker, you know you are losing muscle, but at the same time it could be caused by overworking the muscles.

• Why not figure out how many calories you eat per day?? Then figure out what you are eating. Then figure out how much is fat. Then reduce the fat if it is high, but either way reduce your calories. If you consume 2500 cals / day, reduce it down to 23…

• So here is another question ;-) I made almond milk with 1/2 cup soaked almonds, and 1 1/2 cups water. To filter the milk, i had to use small coffee filters placed in a small funnel, not very fun. The end result was 1 1/4 cups of milk. Is that about …

• There is a book “Raw Diet for Idots” and I only bought it because the reviews on amazon gave it 5 stars. It has a lot of good info in it, including how to fast. I lent the book out to a friend, but I don’t think it recommends a 3 day water fast, i t…

• “Again, not trying to pick nits, nor argue, but just not ‘clear’ on some of the concepts, here. I mean, certainly using a blender and/or a food processor ? By the latters NAME alone, are we PROCESSING the food ? Is it therefore no longer ‘raw’ ??? S…

  in Raw is healing my eyesight! Comment by rawcanadian
• I guess there are two ways to look at it: 1) Does raw food heal? or 2) Does not eating the bad stuff heal? I go with #2, since raw food doesn't heal. THE BODY HEALS!!! Bad stuff makes us sick, and by not eating it, we get better.
