The requirements that humans should drink 8 glasses of water a day has no scientific basis. What is important is drinking fluid which could just be juices or eating high water content foods.

Animals in the wilds can go for 2 or 3 days without drinking water, they get the water from the foods they eat. They search for water once or twice a week. How often do we humans drink PER DAY?
Most of the water we need should come from the food we eat.

Eating is drinking. I do not eat foods that are not at least 80 percent water content. If you eat dried foods, the body borrows water from the cells, process the food, and then later when you drink, the body has to process the water and redistribute it, that is more work.
I do drink simple water, but not as much, my body has enough organic water already. Animals in the wild feeding on raw foods

powerlifer my dear raw friend, water is not just water.
The reason why beans, dried grains are not good foods is that they have lost there organic water content during the drying process.
Eating them dried and drink water afterward to compensate will never equal the health benefits of eating them in thier original raw state.
We are 80 percent water at a mininum. That is why dried powder superf

dehydrated powders have very poor nutritional values, for one thing they do not have the organic water we have in natural fresh produce, another is that being concentrated is the problem, you are overloading your system with nutrients of one type. Nutrition is not complicated.

RawPracticalist
Most people are so focused on the nutrients, the most important thing is getting the body to assimilate the nutrients, our local ordinary foods have enough nutrients, we are actually overloaded with nutrients, the problem is that they are not getting assimilated, so here less is actually better, simple food, avoid mixing to many food items, eat less, fast regulary, give your system a rest.

How do these heavy metals get into one body and not into another besides being close to a nuclear plant. Is it thru food, direct contact, or some are born with the metals.

You are missing the title of the thread " Crying Onion Tears: do we really need to be worried about onions?"
The medicinal properties of these "foods" are more dominant than their nutritional properties, why do you think people cry eating garlic or onions, they are medicine, you decide to suffer for a while to cure a condition.

Garlics and Onions are only good to move the body from the state of disequilibrium to equilibrium, once you have achieved the natural state, should I say re-establish the natural state, they have no place in the diet.

We have lost our natural senses of harmony. You do not need to be a monkey to know that. Nature has harmony, equilibrium, we need to return to that simplicity and it is not black pepper that can help do that.

When a monkey found some ripe bananas in the wild he is naturally drawn to them and seat and eat until he is full and goes to sleep. He is guided by his natural senses and there is an harmony between his needs and the messages the ripe bananas are broadcasting to be found. He will stop when he is full and does not need to add any other substance or food to the bananas. He does not need some study

Who care what pepper indians were putting in their COOKINGS?
No amount of studies will make me use spices to improve cooked food absorption.
Most cooked foods are not properly combined so you need assitance with absorption.

Did you provide any data that shows that black pepper increase nutrient absorption, you did not.
For one thing black pepper is dried, it will take away from the water in the food I am eating, reduce the water content, it is another substance with its own hour of digestion which may not be the same as that of the orange of pineapple I am eating.
It may be helpful for foods like pizza or pie whic
