Some people drink raw cow's milk. The soy milk being better then normal milk is actually a huge myth. Soy is basically a waste product from the industrial argiculture system, they need to grow soy for nitrogen fixation after growing corn which is used in just about everything. So the benefits of soy have been hyped up while the negative aspects have been down played, the benefits of normal milk a

My daughter is 2 and a half now and still nurses. The first thing I would say is not to think about the future too much. I know at first breastfeeding seems like a daunting task at 2 months I just did not know how I would make it to the first year and beyond. Well at about three months breastfeeding becomes much easier. I stopped having issues with leaking and my daughter did not need to nurse as

Too late! I think I already contracted the Swine Flu about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure because of course I never go to the doctor, but there were reports of Swine Flu in my area and I came down with the first flu I have had in YEARS. It actually wasn't that horrible.

This became an issue for my daughter as well, she also had really bad gas. We started doing the massage very early on, I would even massage my daughters belly in the middle of feedings so that she wouldn't get bad gas or constipation.

Can anyone recommend a good blender with a glass container? I see that the Vitamix and Blendtec have plastic containers. I'm trying to avoid plastic as much as possible, but it seems like only department store type blenders have glass containers and I worry about their motors dying out from frequent use.

Yes, yes and yes! Just about any product marketed as vegan even organic ones contain MSG and most processed foods contain MSG as well, although I find that it is surprisingly less often with products made with real milk. eggs etc. Also most processed soy products are made from GMO soy, many of the soymilk companies (like Silk) have switched to being "natural" instead of "organic&qu

Almonds are no longer sold raw anyways. Since 2007 they must be sold steam pasteurized which kills the living enzymes. I found a local food co-op that can still get really raw almonds, but they are not sold on the grocery store shelves.

38. Re: Omega 3
Fish oils unfortunately are not a good product for people on a raw food diet. They contain absolutely no omega 6 fatty acids. Both are needed for optimum health. Considering that many raw food eaters are not on the SAD which is high in omega 6 acids (the argument used by the fish oil companies), it is best to consume foods or take supplements with both. Hemp seeds have a really good ratio and are
