• I was a desset chef at a raw restaurant, and we always used baby spinach juice for green coloring, and beet juice for vibrant fuschia. Neither gave it any particular flavor. We also used baby spinach juice for mint chocolate chip ice cream, and beet…

• You can go to Whole Foods, usually they have single serving samples of their drink mixes; I know for a fact I've seen them sell single serving sized packets of Alive at my local Whole Foods. They also have single servings of Juvo and others, and eve…

• it's not really food based unless it's....well, food! We can say anything is food based, so long as it is food we extracted it from. The beta carotene from the study I cited was food derrived. Truth is, if it was really capsulated dehydrated and pow…

• vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, flavanoids, etc were all designed to work together, in tandem. When you separate them, magnify them, process them and isolate them, you create something completely different from the original form…

• Are you sure you calculated the brownie's calories correctly? Even if she were to eat a bowl of nuts, it would be difficult to get 1700 calories...unless she ate half the pan, perhaps you miscalculated? Most fast food meals don't even add up to that…

• I've followed this thread from the beginning, and I can say that both the vegans and the 811-ers seem to be the ones who get touchy on these forums. From reading what just went on, it seems the vegans were the ones hurling insults first. I can under…

• Rawskeptic I agree with you about the detoxing. I think it's really easy to explain away all kinds of symptoms by chalking it all up to 'detox'; we don't really have much evidence for that. Sometimes, I feel like the raw diet weakens the body, and p…

• Protein is the least of your worries! Seriously, you could go nut-free and get enough protein! I 'd worry more about trace minerals and B12 and whatnot; where minerals are concerned, look into sea vegetables. I don't know how you feel about them; ma…

• rawskeptic i don't think carnap was in anyway insinuating that because of your age, you live off of mcdonalds and joints...I think carnap meant that younger bodies can take more abuse, so it will take longer and more abuse for the abuse to be appare…

• yeah seriously lol, carnap I agree with you 100%! It will be hard to determine if you 'feel better' on raw at 15; lord knows I felt GREAT at 15 living off of Tofutti Cuties and frozen meals!

• Rawskeptic, where do you live? If you live by a vegetarian restaurant that serves raw food, or by a raw food restaurant, please go try the food! You don't need to eat raw gourmet every day, but it definitely helps to keep cravings at bay. It's also …

• Agreed, rawcanadian! I used to work in a raw restaurant, and I guess I got really peeved by a lot of the raw community because of it; it was as if raw was their religion. I love raw and it has done great things for me, but I have found that people g…

• obviously you need fat to metabolize fat soluble vitamins, and other nutrients like lycopene. That was not my point. In fact, that's my main problem with the 80-10-10 people; they eat very low levels of dietary fat and thus are missing out on a weal…

• The more you try, the more they'll rebel, in my experience. Best to just eat how you choose to eat, and let them come to their own conclusion. Always offer the food if they want it, but don't force it and don't be judgemental about what they choose …
