Date: October 12, 2006 04:39PM What are the pros & cons of adding mineral oil to the daily raw diet, as a source of fats? Nuts bother my intestines and avacados just don't taste that good. Would appreciate any and all responses. Elizabeth
P.S. I have been raw for about 2 years Re: Pros & Cons of Mineral Oil

Date: October 12, 2006 05:26PM What is the source of the mineral oil? As far as I understand mineral oil is a very refined petro-oil and personally I wouldn't put any in my body, nor would I imagine it having a place in a raw vegan diet.
How do you do with hemp oil and coconut oil? Cheers, Ian. Re: Pros & Cons of Mineral Oil

Date: October 12, 2006 05:51PM Hi Woodfe,
hemp oil is the oil from hemp seeds and should be avaliable in health stores. I've found in both the UK and US without having to look very hard. Flax seed (Linseed) oil is another alternative as well. Cheers, Ian. Re: Pros & Cons of Mineral Oil

Date: October 12, 2006 08:44PM NO MINERAL OIL!!!
it is not absorbable into the body and only lines the intestines restricting nutrient uptake. hemp, flax, unfiltered cold-pressed olive, coconut (YUM)oil (the solid white stuff that smells delish is the only one!)- when i run walnuts through my juicer, the oil frequently separates, and i used that on salads as well. very nice. peace Re: Pros & Cons of Mineral Oil

Date: October 13, 2006 02:50PM oh my goodness! PLEASE do not eat mineral oil! It's used for oil in lamps! Yikes! Can you imagine what that would do to your body? Re: Pros & Cons of Mineral Oil

Date: October 18, 2006 02:40PM Thanks to all for the info. I only used the mineral oil for a few days (6 - Yikes!) & have stopped using. I have ordered Hemp & Coconut oil. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
