The Anti-Raw Movement: Misinformed or Deliberately Deceitful?
Posted by: John Rose ()
Date: January 24, 2014 07:01PM

The first article that I’ve posted below does Not pertain to humans, but since there is virtually no activity in that Forum, I’m posting it here plus it does seem to serve their Agenda, which is to keep the public IGNORANT about Food & Drugs!

[healthypets.mercola.com]

Story at-a-glance
• The FDA is the latest organization to issue an absurd warning to pet owners to avoid the “dangers” of raw pet food. The basis for the warning is a two-year “study” the agency conducted of 1,000 samples of pet food to check for bacteria that causes foodborne illness.
• According to the FDA’s study results, the only pet foods that tested positive for salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes were commercial raw pet foods. Incredibly, the FDA expects us to believe that during the two-year period between July 2010 and July 2012, only one out of 860 processed pet food samples tested positive for bacteria.
• A quick glance at the FDA’s own website shows dozens of processed pet food recalls during the same two-year period, yet the FDA’s sampling turned up only one incidence of bacterial contamination.
• Like the AVMA, the AAHA and other organizations that have taken a public stand against raw pet food diets, the FDA is sadly misinformed about the types of raw food currently on the market. Many raw pet diets these days have been treated with high-pressure pasteurization (HPP), rendering them sterile. For organizations or pet owners who don’t understand the benefits of raw diets but still want to promote unprocessed food, sterile raw foods provide superior nutritional benefits to entirely processed diets.
• The anti-raw movement also conveniently overlooks the fact that pet owners have been feeding raw diets to their dogs and cats for decades, yet to date, not one documented case of raw pet food causing illness in humans has been reported.

...
[healthypets.mercola.com]

The next article that I’ve posted below definitely applies to us and even though it’s a joke, at least we beat out the Paleo Diet! The obvious reason why the reviews are bad is because the persons who reviewed it don’t know anything about Raw Food or Nutrition. To say that it is unclear whether a Raw Food Diet could have a Positive Effect on Cardiovascular Health and that there is No Evidence that a Raw Food Diet can Prevent and Reverse Diabetes and that a Raw Food Diet is Inconvenient because it takes too long to peel a banana or eat an apple and that a Raw Food Diet traces back to the late 1800s when it actually traces back to the beginning of time just shows how little these Fools know about Raw Food and Nutrition!!! However, to base a Diet on how easy it is to follow, especially when it’s compared to its BENEFITS, is totally absurd. Obviously, it’s a deciding factor, but once people understand the BENEFITS of a Raw Food Diet, it’s NOT that hard to follow. As Nietzsche once said, “He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.”

Anyway, here is the article followed by my Recap…

Best Diets Overall

U.S. News evaluated and ranked the 32 diets below with input from a panel of health experts. To be top-rated, a diet had to be relatively easy to follow, nutritious, safe and effective for weight loss and against diabetes and heart disease. The government-endorsed Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) snagged the top spot.

I think it's a combination of ignorance, popularity, deliberately deceiving the public, and the amount of effort involved. Most people don't like the idea of only eating raw foods because they've been growing up on cooked foods their entire life and are completely close-minded when it comes to changing (yet they'll still complain about their health). They also don't want to put forth the effort it takes to sustain yourself on a raw food diet without developing nutritional deficiencies or imbalances. They're addicted to their meat, cheese, and processed foods, so anything that disregards all of these "foods" is tossed aside because it doesn't feed their addiction. Nevermind the fact that a raw foods diet is the most water/nutrient-dense, has the most antioxidants and enzymes, and has been scientifically proven to cure a wide variety of diseases.. it's not popular and doesn't contain America's biggest addictions: meat and cheese.

I don't see where they would get off saying that a raw-food diet is "all but impossible to follow and its nutritional completeness and safety were concerns" when there are literally thousands of people who have been doing this for decades and are in fantastic health. It's a simple case of ignorance and being uneducated when it comes to the raw food diet. I bet they don't even know that sprouts/grass/green juices, sea vegetables, and algae's are apart of the diet.

Who said anything about an 80/10/10? And besides, you cant talk about a lack of scientific evidence when there haven't been any scientific studies conducted on a raw foods or sproutarian diet.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking your immune because you consume sprouts, grasses, algaes and sea vegetables. These are all great nutrient dense foods, but there are still many other nutrients which can be deficient in your diet or imbalanced such as toxic mentals like copper with all plant based diets.

There is literally hundreds of anecdotal accounts yes, do not believe into everything you read especially when its by raw food promoters or supplement manufacturers. There is literally no research to suggest the type of diet i.e sproutarian/brian clement style you promote is healthy. You laugh at the 80/10/10ers but your diet is no more validated than theres.

Both are completely new age creations, often nutritionally incomplete, imbalanced and hard to follow for the majority. If someone is on the move, how do they grow trays of sprouts daily ? You are confined to your home because of your diet, which is again not proven to be any better than a SAD diet.

I agree with you also, the sproutarian diet is certainly the most nutrtionally balanced of all of the fad raw diets such as 80/10/10 and natural hygiene diets, which are certainly the worst of the bunch in regards to nutritional imbalances and completeness.

However that doesn't mean its good or proven optimal like the Mediterranean Diet, which has much scientific backing to its longevity and cardiovascular disease prevention benefits, the sproutarian diet can be low in calories, low in carbs, lacking in various nutrients just like any other raw vegan diet is.

Out of the raw diets it definitely has the most chance of success however due to the sheer variety of nutrients. Still a completely unproven diet scientifically such as 80/10/10.

ALL diets are susceptible to nutritional deficiencies because each individual diet contains different foods. You could follow a paleo diet and only eat an extremely limited amount of what's available on the diet, suffer deficiencies, and then people could say "Oh look, the paleo diet is extremely unhealthy". Same thing with a raw foods diet, it's not about just eating 100% raw, it's about eating the wide variety of foods you need to sustain yourself.

There is no scientific evidence of the raw foods diet or sproutarian diet because there haven't been any massive studies on either of them, get it? Must be pretty sad living in your world confined by 'scientific evidence' despite the fact that many things haven't even been studied scientifically. Also the world of illusion where anyone thriving on a raw food diet is lying. Perhaps you're jealous cause you couldn't hack it?

Did you know that a low caloric intake is associated with a lower incidence of disease and increased longevity?

Brian Clement is just as responsible for the sproutarian style diet, as Doug Graham is responsible for 80/10/10.

Neither of these diets nutritionally complete without supplements as standard, which not only makes these diets not safe in the short term but very dangerous in the long term.

None of these diets are scientifically verified or proven to be healthy. Clever marketing at best.

Right, and a 100% raw foods diet can be extremely healthy and balanced. Again, there is no science to back a raw foods or sproutarian diet because no large-scale scientific studies have been conducted. What's extreme about a raw food vegan diet? I'd say it's more extreme chopping up an animal, drinking another species' milk and eating another species' eggs.

Studies have shown that almost EVERYONE suffers from B12 deficiency, regardless of diet. Meaning nowadays that all diets would be dangerous in the long-term without B12 supplementation.

Newsflash, we live in a world where our soil has been significantly depleted (the source of B12) but also in a world where we can obtain high-quality B12 supplements. Taking these B12 supplements while following a raw vegan diet is far more healthy than eating animal products (especially when cooked). Why would I care about what some mainstream media article says? I don't need scientific studies to know the nutritional properties of eating raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sea vegetables, wheatgrass, algaes and sprouts. Sorry, my mind isn't confined to 'scientific evidence', especially when a lot of science out there is flawed and misguiding. I'm not dumb enough to throw something under the bus because there's no science behind it even though no scientific studies have been conducted.

Its funny because these studies consistently show that animal food eaters have few problems with b12 deficiency yet vegans are always deficient in B12. Again show me some proof that taking b12 supplements is the healthier alternative because there is none and certainly not via a sproutarian style diet.

Nobody is saying plantfoods are unhealthy, this is where the typical bias comes into play with these type of posts because any healthy diet will always be majority plantfood based in order to be healthy.

Just because some science is flawed by the pharmaceutical industry, doesn't justify, what diet you are promoting having no scientific backing to its health benefits.

Ill ask again, without scientific backing why do you think your diet beats any other diet such as 80/10/10 ? Are you solely believing the word of Brian Clement as to the health benefits of the diet, if so what makes you different to the Doug Graham true believers ?

80/10/10 diets are just another version of the raw food diet and depending on what is consumed, can be very successful or unsuccessful. Why can't someone following an 80/10/10 diet eat sprouts, sea vegetables, algae and wheatgrass?

Again, there haven't been any studies directly addressing B12 supplements. They likely wouldn't even be reliable anyways considering B12 absorption relies on other vitamins and also the current state of the individual. If they have problems with digestion, for example, the effects of the supplement could be negated.

Who says there very successful you ?, Doug Graham ? lol. Brian Clement ?

Show me some scientific proof and long term evidence that these are healthy and safe diets to follow. Not just marketed from people like durianrider.

You'd quickly go over the 10% protein with a high sprout and algae diet which are good amino acid sources.

You're off in the head, dude. Guy keeps asking for 'scientific evidence' on things that have never been subject to scientific studies. Sprouts don't have a lot of calories, by the way, so the protein consumption isn't that high, it's just high-quality and absorbable.

Lol could there be any correlation between your constant aggressiveness in your posts and your sub-optimal diet ?

Nobody said sprouts have alot of calories, what i said was a high sprout or algae diet would quickly go over the 10% protein intake.

You seem to be completely unable to read english, where did i say all raw food is unhealthy ?

Like i said would happen, people can't read these posts coherently, so let me recap for those who can't read - "People seem to take these type of posts the wrong way, no one is saying raw foods are bad, infact raw foods are very healthy, its just that all raw foods are not healthy and scientific research confirms this especially in regards to the nutritonal completeness and balance of a raw food diet. "

Aggressiveness? More like not understanding how one (you) can be so ignorant. An 80/10/10 diet can include sprouts, algaes, and sea vegetables... who said it had to be high amounts? Where is your scientific evidence that a high sprout or algae diet would quickly go over the 10% protein intake? (let's play your game)

Ohh sorry i should have believed everyword Brian Clement says without question lolz.

Again thestorm, quote the first post you are on about or shut up. What i said was B12 is always been proven from studies to be lower in vegans, not that "all raw food was unhealthy" like you are claiming. Infact in the second post i had made a point of saying raw food was very healthy for this very reason as i know how pedantic vegans can besmiling smiley.

You are doing yourself no justice here.

Ahh how convient of you, like i say if this post exists in this very, very small 2 page thread which everyone with a non-vegan brain can read back with ease.

quote it if you can, because you will find if you can actually read i already said that raw food was healthy but not all raw food diets were duh smiling smiley

Dude what are you even on about ?

Are you drunk ?, read back my posts slowly without as much alcohol and sprouts. I didnt at all say "all raw foods are unhealthy" like you claimed. Infact i isolated and praised them for that reason because pedantic individuals like you would come back and say i was against the diet.

You've been smoking too much broccoli haze.

Strawman response, you guys can do and say whatever you want about me but i can't respond in any manner.

You can lie about what ive said, just ignore and completely deny but thats ok

How about you keep on topic instead of making these posts personal like you always do when you can't back up your posts.

Dude like i say if you want to follow and eat sproutaran or 80/10/10 fire on, nobody is stopping you.

But don't try to censor other peoples opinions on the safety of these type of diets, especially when there is no scientific backing to validating there benefits.

That might make you angry because it goes against your beliefs, im sorry but thats the way it goes.

hey THeStorm, Powelifer is not raw or vegan. He eats sardines and meat + the supps zinc, molybdenum, manganese, chromium, selenium. He then he posts here telling people that vegan foods are not healthy because it needs supps (ironic). He mainly posts here to vent and he is against vegan diets from apparently damage made to his pancreas? (seeking revenge?). He is still damaged internally and he acts like an injured animal and so his posts reflect that. He got you all worked and that was his plan.

the 801010 was not invented by D Graham. It had predecessors. The 801010 macro ratio is the healthiest in the world with many scientific studies done (ie see the China Study).

Like ive said i think majority plant food based diets are very healthy.

So your anti-vegan responses are't only predictable but laughable. Like i say if you want to follow unproven fad diets like 80/10/10 or sproutarian go ahead, nobody is stopping you with trying these fad diets.

Just don't rope others into these diets without scientific proof to back up such diet or benefits.

Scientific proof doesn't mean anything when there have been no scientific studies addressing the raw food diet or sproutarian diet in the first place. Thousands of people (who in your delusional world are all liars) are thriving on raw food diets. You failed and then gave up, sucks for you, doesn't mean others don't know how to do it. Your knowledge is vastly inferior to both Douglas Graham and Brian Clement when it comes to health and nutrition, so trying to insult them wouldn't be in your best interest.
