Fresh,
#1 and 2 are correct.
1. If all the centenarians in the world nowadays eat cooked food and some '' junk processed food '', what does that prove? The fact that a few people succeed on any type of diet is not proof that the same diet will work for everyone when most of the people are not doing well on that diet. If you are going to proffer your specific diet as the universal diet the

Animals have no constant source of readily available food supply like humans do - they can't go shopping and bring bags full of food home and leave it in the fridge. They don't sit down to 2 or 3 big meals a day and eat 15 bananas after a tiring day. They graze and eat what they can get. They don't have jobs to go to. They don't use public transport or cars so let's stop this idiotic comparison t

In nature there are no orchards with manicured lawns and endless rows of mangoes trees, fig trees or durians. Those were developed afterwards. The only realistic option would have been tropical Africa, Asia or South America. In those instances you would have to be climbing up trees and on branches and competing with the apes for the high level fruit - as well as the birds, the worms and other ins

How is it that John hasn't done a video on dental health? He is always having these experts on and saying so and so is a 20 year raw foodist and asks them questions. Whenever I see him asking them questions and I look at their '' beautiful '' teeth I wonder why he doesn't ask them about their teeth and if they are real or implants? How is their dental health and what advice would they give and w

Iandthou, are you assuming that at one point humans as we know it ate an all raw diet. If so, what was their diet and where did they live? Or do you believe God created man and put them in the tropics only?
What about people living in temperate zones where there is snow? Did they hibernate all winter in caves and not eat?
A far more plausible answer is that an alien far more advanced socie

So a raw foodist now is someone who doesn't eat cooked foods, but can drink as much cooked stuff as he likes!
As for the gallon of sugar cane juice, I've had fresh sugar cane juice on numerous occasions and I always ask for lots of ice to dilute it when they make it - too too sweet.
I'm no expert on sugar cane juice ( is there one here? ), but have had enough experience to know it's basical

157. Re: john robbins
Those studies have been around for years, but you can't take things in isolation.
Those people lived in a different world from what most of us live in.They grew most of their own food, or it was all locally grown in rich soil. They didn't buy old nutrient poor food picked early, or have to buy wilted vegies.
They also had good genetics passed down the line as they didn't sit in front of tv'

La Veronique, there is a thread about this video about 3 pages back and I will boost it to the top. I tried watching the video but it was too boring for me so I didn't get to that part, but the issue of hybridized fruit has been discussed before.
Aside from a few diehards like Fresh and JR, more and more people are going easy on overdoing on the fruit for a number of reasons, even actively min

Before all the fruit '' junkies '' start attacking me, it's the title of a new John Kohler video on OK Raw - and a very good video at that. Highly recommended and very interesting, and I'm going to give his suggestions a go.
John talks with Viktoras about raw diets and gives his views as he approaches 80.It's also a plug for a new book coming out, but they don't bring it up till the 20 minute

I've had black / chocolate sapote. It's a bit like a combination of thick sweet chocolate mousse and melted dark chocolate. Very rich when ripe and very yummy, but as all fruit it needs to be soft and ripe. It's not something you can eat more than one or two of at a time.

Hi John,
Thanks for remembering me.

I saw where NASA was going to make a special announcement this morning. I wonder if this was it? At $20 if it works as well in real life as in the ads then you've done well - considering they are also offering 2 for $20. I am grating carrots on a hand grater and have to BE careful not to lose half my fingers.

It's great as a short term cleansing diet, but has a 99+% failure rate long term, so beware. It all sound so great in theory, but how many people are able to sustain themselves on it after the initial euphoria wears off.

Fresh, I agree. Usually John Kohler's videos are very very good, but this one was egregiously bad - so bad that I only managed to get to 18 minutes after my fourth attempt. Also, 1 hour 10 minutes is a long time, especially if it's a slow boring video from a non credible person.
This person would have been better served to see his analyst to pour his heart out, as opposed to going on with his

Tai, where do you live, and where are the Jackfurit from?
Years ago I lived in tropical North Queensland on a small organic farm and I had jackfruit straight off the tree, as well as some that fell on the ground overnight - a truly memorable experience. A bit like eating fruit salad, realLy really nice, with no latex.
I think it's just one of those things with fruit being picked too early.

What would the bees want you to do? That is the question, not what humans want. If it's in the best interest of the bees, then you can always remove the honey / wax / honeycomb and give it away, or sell it and donate the $$$'s to charity.
Not everyone is at your level of dietary enlightenment, and for many people to have natural unprocessed honey would be serving them well.

I admire him and have respect for him as well, especially for being honest post the fact. Pity others weren't / aren't as honest as he is. That was one good thing about Harley, but just pointing out the fact that sometimes the reality doesn't quite match up with what we think is the ideal in this non perfect world we live in.

At the moment I've dropped off the perch as far as politics is concerned - invested too much time and energy for zero return when I should have been focusing on getting my life right. If you're not in the loop in politics it's very hard to have any input. If your life is fine then it's ok to invest time and energy in politics.

John, your explanation of why believing in Reincarnation '' takes away our responsibility so that we can be the best we can be '' is exactly why your solution to the worlds problems does exactly the same and won't work.

It's not ethical, and definitely cruel. If I was a horse I wouldn't want nails and metal fittings on my feet, and having to live with them day and night - imagine having to wear shoes 24/7 and never being able to take them off. I also wouldn't want to be carrying people around all day. And who wants to be neutered!

What's the difference between using a dehydrator or baking things at low heat in an oven? Nothing if you eat cooked food, but for people who still want to eat lightly cooked foods and claim that they are raw it soothes their conscience.
