I use easy sprouters to sprout and have had wonderful results with a variety of seeds and nuts. Question, for those of you who do broccoli sprouting, do you have a preferred vendor? I've been using Vendor X from Amazon for my organic broccoli sprouts. And the germination rate is lower than other vendors I have used in the past. The problem is that most of the prior vendors are out of busin

1592. Re: raw on the cheap
Add a citrus juicer or press (less than $20). Check Craigslist.org in your city for used juicer or consider a manual hand powered auger juicer. $40. new. If you want to skip the dehydrator (I would save an get one), is there a warm part of your house, apartment with direct sun exposure? That's the way the Essenes did it. Obviously if the humidity of the room is over 50 percent, that's

To answer your question, I should think more sprouted legumes, specifically lentils and mung beans are excellent for this purpose. According to Cherie Soria in her book Raw Revolution, a cup of lentil sprouts has 7 grams of protein and only 81 calories. The ratio of protein to fat is 7 to 1 in this delicious and very versatile raw food. Unlike other beans, lentils are relatively gentle. I h

Let's stop with the red herrings following a strawman argument. I didn't defend or attack David Wolfe. I objected to you imputing something to the original poster didn't say. Or show me where he asked for perfection. I may or may not agree with his point. But let's let the arg

I never said you did. I think we can agree to disagree on the issue and move on. We obviously have very different views of the CDC, FDA, etc. FWIW, I can't get vaccinated because I don't fit the high risk group

Tamukha,
I guess I don't agree with your unsubstantiated characterization for the motives (i.e. it's all about money) of providers of vaccines for a very serious virus. You frankly aren't in a position to know what information I have reviewed in reaching my statements in earlier posts. So, let's leave it at that. Likewise, your supposition of my faith in data is also misplaced and inaccurat

I guess I'm not that cynical. I have heard a lot of the claims about the mercury present and it's possible impacts on autism. But most of the clinicians and health authorities I respect say there are little data to back the claims. I guess I don't understand your point about compromising the immune system. At least the preliminary data seemed to indicate that 96 percent of those vaccinated de

There are salt receptors on the tongue for our sense of taste. The human body's need for salt or sodium is pretty low, only about 200 to 300 milligrams per day. And sodium is so ubiquitous (everywhere) that it's pretty hard not satisfy the body's need for it. And here's the thing. Salt cravings aren't that unusual but due to eating raw? It seems unlikely.

Bryan,
I don't know if the 25 percent is volume or weight. It's an upper bound in any case. I don't think Mr. Clement in arguing only 75 percent. My point was that the raw part of his diet wasn't simply a component.

What is the relevance of a six year age difference between vegetarians and omnivores? I guess I don't follow. No, there are no controls. It's not a randomized controlled trial and I agree it's a relatively small study. Still, the omnivores had a higher protein intake and the vegetarians had a much higher fruit and honey intake demonstrating a higher fructose loading which is correlated with

Debbie,
Agree to disagree, there is a zero sum nature to what we eat. Our stomachs can only eat so much. There is an opportunity cost to eating large quantities of fruit that displace green vegetable throughput. It's that simple. Fruits are fine, esp if low sugar. But we all have to manage our glycemic load. The stakes to our health are much too serious to do otherwise. So, I do not ag
