Date: September 25, 2007 03:35PM Hi,
I've started reading the Raw Food Detox Diet book and was wondering if anyone could explain to me the importance of separating the food categories?? Does it really make that much of a difference? Also, in the book she says that peanuts are "junk food." Does anyone know why that is??? I thought raw nuts were sopossed to be healthy. Thanks, Shayna Re: Raw Food Detox Diet reader w/ ????

Food combining can make a big difference for some people. I believe part of it is because fruit digests faster and can start fermenting if it gets trapped by slower digesting foods. Re: Raw Food Detox Diet reader w/ ????

Date: September 26, 2007 12:49AM Raw peanuts are somewhat indigestible ( and contain noxious chemicals) ,
once cooked ( to change the chemicals) the oils are hydrogenated, which is bad. Separating foods may refer to food combining, this is simple, once you get the hang of it, but tricky to explain briefly. And easier seen with a chart. A little web searching will clarify both subjects. Re: Raw Food Detox Diet reader w/ ????

I think you'll get more sensitive to certain combinations the longer you're raw. At first, I ate so much onion and garlic, and now the strength is too much. also, I ate tomatoes constantly and with everything. Now I can really only eat them by themselves--same with grapes. Melons are tough for me--but I can't resist! Someone told me it had to do with metabolizing the sugars in seedless varieties. anyway, good luck. and it's been totally fascinating to really feel and understand my body's needs. measure twice, cut once.
