pborst You are missing the message, this is a raw food forum, did you forget? 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. Why would I need a little pepper on sliced of ripe mangoes or on green leaves or carrot jui

2643. Re: Black Pepper

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

2644. Re: Black Pepper

The external help for nutrition absorption is only required when the food is not digestible by itself in the first place. What this does is to keep us with the old habits of consuming food not digestible, I will have that pizza or pie with black pepper to help me push it down. There was a scientific paper to back me up on that. Foods that are digestible do not need external help, they are

If you add black pepper to a banana like you do it will make the banana less digestible, blocking nutrient absorption, how is that adding nutritional values? You are taking away from the banana.

There is so much wisdom in simplicity. The body is not confused with too many food items. The problem with smoothies is that it promotes drinking too many food items at once. I had carrot juice and papaya for lunch today.

2649. Re: Black Pepper

It is not an opinion, it is the truth. Spices do not add a new value to a food in its natural state. You cannot improve on a ripe mango or banana. What spices do is help us eat foods that the body would not want to eat in its raw state in the first place. We are fooled into thinking it is good for us.

Good points your raise but we are not talking about mono meals, the question is: should we inject foreign substances, pepers and spices to food that is already, naturally complete in itself. Should we?

I have been raw since 1987. Fruits, wheatgrass, indoor greens. Do not need salt, celery has plenty of it. Do not need pepper. Do not need spices. Yes the pepper and other herbs can help us heal but when the natural state is re-established and harmony is back WHY altered it again with salt and pepper. Dis-ease is a state of dis-harmony, in that state special conditions or ingredients can be

2652. Re: Black Pepper

Natural hygiene is the way to go. You should pray the cooking one does come your way. Nobody can improve on a ripe mango, no amount of pepper or spices will improve it. Just surprised that coco cannot get full on carrots, what else is there and better to eat? Carrot is king. The problem is that when sense of taste has been altered thru cooking and spices, it is difficult to go back to the natu

2653. Re: Black Pepper

The QUESTION you are all avoiding is this: Why do you stop eating black pepper or any pepper when you are not full yet? Because the body does not want it, it is not a food. You can continue to eat mangoes or tomotoes until you are full as long as there are more of them. If you are on raw foods and like spicy foods then you have miles to go still but that is your choice but do not call

Why is Black Pepper buring in the month. The body is telling you it is not WELCOME. Why can't you eat more of it, because you cannot, the body does not want it, your educated, cultural mind may, but the natural body does not want it.

Guys, Gals, let's promote natural simple health in eating foods that nature provides in natural form. Save yourself time in doctoring up foods, do not waste your precious time in the kitchen, black pepper cannot add any more value to food from nature. Black pepper makes you eat more, denature your natural taste, your threshold for eating, and stop eating. Your body will be full of energie to en

2656. Re: Black Pepper

The definition of a food is very simple, common sense. You can hear somedoby says I had mangoes for lunch, I had grape for breakfast, I had carrots for dinner, but NEVER will hear someone says I had black pepper for dinner. It has nutrutional values, so does soil, dirt, but dirt is not a food.

powerlifer it is very simple, simple as abc 1. All foods are medicine 2. Not all medicines are necessarily foods 3. If some produce cannot be eaten as a mono meal until you are full, it is not a food. It could be a medicine 4. From the previous black pepper is not a food.

It is difficult to imagine adding MORE FLAVOR to a meal of ripe mangoes, papayas, and durians, even grated carrots. You cannot outsmart nature. There is a HUGE difference between a food and a medicine. You cannot eat a medicine as food until your are full. You cannot eat black pepper by itself until you are full, it is not a food

Is it healthy in the long run to work-out hard, to exaustion? That may put the body under constant stress, animals do not do that for sure, they eat raw and enjoy simple life. Some moderate exercises should be enough.

Another way to treat the addiction is to create a healthier addiction onto something very healthy that you really like to eat and have that around when the bad addiction comes. Light against Darkness and the Light will win. Ripe mangoes with young coconut smoothie will win for me.
