Making fruits the mainstay of your diet is a huge mistake. The SAD diet is a poor baseline. If you want excellence, vegetables, particularly cruciferous vegetables, not fruits should be the mainstay. Your call.

Could someone succintly restate the issue? What is the advantage to running barefoot over a pair of good running shoes, vegan or otherwise? Looking at a cheetah's paw (dog's paw, whatever) and a human foot, it seems obvious to me that animals have protection that we don't in terms of padding.

1628. Re: Fruit juice anyone?
I juice a lot for different reasons. Sometimes for a recipe, or to offset a bitter or sour flavor of a vegetable or starch. Often, I will juice citrus, lemon or lime to flavor water or make salad dressing. Usually most fruit I eat whole. Juicing is a wonderful adjunct, esp for juicing vegetables and adding fruit juice to compliment strong vegetable flavors, e.g. adding apple juice for col

Superinfinity,
Given our interaction, I'm no fan. But putting our past aside. Aflatoxins have to be a consideration here. Basic human decency requires me to state the obvious. Peanuts, raw peanuts aren't necessarily toxic because they are raw but if they are in spite or. If you choose to eat that many peanuts, please make sure you wash them ahead of time. Aflatoxins are among the mos

1630. Re: sea vegetables
Thanks everyone. I'm going to be bold and ask the Chef. Will report back. Sea lettuce looks like a likely candidate. Don't recall seeing it in my local health food or ethnic market either. Utopian, thanks for the tip, will see if there is someone on the East Coast who delivers it fresh. Best.

The local vegetarian restaurant makes a great salad with a bright green sea vegetable. Does anyone know what it might be? My wakame is dark green. This is more of an emerald green.

Hi Kitty,
I guess the first question is which beans? Mung beans, lentils? if those then yes the problem pretty much encompasses all of those. If the problem was with other legumes, lentils might be worth a try. Best to you.

I juice and blend getting the best of both worlds. Juicing definitely breaks down the cell walls better than blending does in terms of getting nutrients. I use the pulp though.

Sounds like a Jimmy Buffet song, I need to get my bearings. But yeah, colder environments bring scarcity, scarcity produces aggression, tension. It's not as though tropical climates are immune, but times of plenty have much less stress, risk than shorter growing seasons.. Think musical chairs.

Molli,
Yes. Absolutely. I don't force it. It just comes up. Vegan some people understand. Raw vegan virtually noone in my social circle understands. Yet, interest is high. Maybe because of George Clooney and the perception of trendiness. On the other hand, for anyone who has truely looked at raw food practioners and compared them even to other vegans or plant-based diet practioners,

I think for myself, I'm not as concerned about "absolute proof" for science since such a standard is very rare and hard to meet. I like thinking about a "weight of evidence" approach, through looking at study design, the study outputs, strength of correlation, statistical significance or lack thereof and compare all of the above with personal experience. I agree completely

1647. Re: Soaking nuts..
I soak all of the nuts I use in recipies and confine unsoaked nuts to trail mix... that sort of thing. I generally don't eat loose nuts (i.e. those not in a recipe) as I prefer the nutrional value of seeds over nuts (I don't generally eat both as it's too much fat). Soaking indicates planning, thinking about your diet which in general is a good thing. Nuts in general are a great and limited p

Molli,
I agree with Coco. Freshly ground flax seed in a coffee grinder is much better for you than pre-ground flax which oxidizes easily. Buy the whole flax seed (which should be cheaper) and grind it as you go. I do 1 tablespoon in my morning smoothie.
