Hi all,
I am at 50% raw which I drink mixed friuts and green vegetables juice for less than a year. Recently, checked with a dentist and found out two teeth have cavities.
I flossed my teeth twice a day and brush teeth three times a day. I've never have any cavity for past 40 years.

Hi Prism,
Sorry about confusion caused. I am on the way to approach 100% raw(ultimate goal) after reading the book "How I Conquered Cancer Naturally" by Eydie Mae Hunsberger. Recently I am just bothered by my skin change (yellow or sallow indicated in my posts). It could be due to lack of b-complex (as one post/reply mentioned)
Thank you for all your help, support and sharing.

my family members told me that I do not get enough protein I need since I limit meat intake. I added these animal foods back.
So, with raw/vegan diet, how would you get enough protein?

Hi Marsh,
Thanks for your sharing.
I lost some weight and I look thin.
I am adding some cooked foods back as I do not want to look thin.
I guess that I have to change my thinking and do not focus on the comment '
what happened? you look too thin..?" too much.

Hi all,
Today, I went to local farms to buy produces. Most of them do not "organic" label. So, these produces are not organic, right?
From farmers' saying, these produces are the same as organic produces and just do not have certified organic label.
So, are these local produces the same as organic produces? (I know most organic produces I buy are not local)
Are these local

Hi all,
Please forgive my question.
Years ago, I met my friend's friends who are on vegan diet. They look much older than my friend and so skinny and also they look pale. It just scared me away with this vegan diet.
Now, I am trying raw food diet and see some people which on raw food diet look so healthy (from youtube).
So, what's difference between these two diet?
