As ive told you and others like Utopian who have asked this question before 100 times. I came to this site years ago when i thought a raw vegan diet was a healthy thing to do. I also have a passion for phyto-nutrition, just not dogmatic strict raw diets like you promote and gallons of jucing.
Im still here years later and my opinion on nutrition has evolved since i have learned more.

Contradict your views on diet maybe but i never attack anyone unlike the behavior i often put up with on here, if you take my contrary view as a direct attack on your person then that is your issue not mine im afraid.
I always discuss my points in a polite and respectful manner, even when often pushed to the limit by some like above.
I eat both cooked and raw foods as you fine well know. Ag

Im not a guru of anything.
I simply eat to live, rather than live to eat as in your case Panchito. I do not support my diet as if it were a football team or put labels on myself when it comes to diet, its just tacky. Its just food to me these days, fuel.

Lol John, no what i am interested in doing is teaching people the ability to critically think for themselves, so that they can see both sides of the coin. Many people here are not educated on the basics of diet and often take the word of these so called gurus and authors, without researching for themselves. This is why many get hurt following a raw diet.

What makes me laugh the most about this theory that we were designed to eat raw, is that there wouldn't be anywhere near enough plant foods to sustain a raw vegan population by a long shot, this especially if before the introduction of agriculture. That completely squashes this theory for me, if we didn't have enough food to survive, we wouldn't be here today.
The raw vegan diet is a new age e

Whilst we may share some similar aspects in our anatomy to herbivores, vegans tend to overplay these similarities, the human body has several physiological features which clearly indicate a design for animal food consumption also. The fact we can't get nutrients such as Vitamin B12 reliably from non-animal food sources is another big giveaway.
While humans may have longer intestines than anima

Our past ancestors might have started vegetarian(maybe), but the introduction of cooking is likely what made us human and there is research to back up this theory also. Cooking and eating animal foods allows far more nutrient density to volume of food, which is likely concurrent with the increased brain size and development.

Low carb diets in my opinion tend to be only helpful for those suffering from the metabolic consequences of too much carbs/sugar, those with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome x etc.
Carbohydrate intake should be kept in relation to ones current metabolic health and activity levels. If you are very active you will need more carbohydrates than someone who is sedentary, and someone who is se

Raw foodists and Natural Hygienists seem to view the body in two states, toxified and detoxed. This isn't how the immune system or the body works though. Even individuals with healthy immune systems can pick up the odd cold or flu, as long as its not happening regularly its generally not something to worry about.

Thats my point entirely Panchito, if the raw diet makes such little difference to health that you still end up with chronic diseases then isn't all this effort and extremism rather pointless.
However i do believe a healthy diet is very important in not only the prevention of disease, but maintaining health. Other than that though i wouldn't get too obsessed and stressed about eating some "

John im more than happy to have an open discussion on nutrition with you(be aware im no expert like yourself), you however are more content with belittling my maturity or intelligence, this to me suggests that you are afraid, coupled with the fact that you never answer my queries.

Yes but cobalt still relies on the individual consuming a dietary B12 source, there is no credible evidence that cobalt alone can substitute your need for consuming vitamin B12.
Forum: Living and Raw Foods Discussion (Vegan) 2 months ago
powerlifer
The cobalt connection is insignificant if you are still not consuming a dietary source of Vitamin B12.
In my opinion for the metabolically, average healthy individual a small amount of unrefined salts such as himalayan salt and/or dried seaweeds are a good source of cobalt and other hard to come by trace/ultra-trace elements.
Again cobalt is insignificant if you are not consuming a dietary

People who include animal foods in there diet and suffer from B12 deficiency will almost always have a problem with absorption such as a lack of intrinsic factor. Where as with vegans in most cases B12 deficiency occurs simply from lack of dietary intake, stores of Vitamin B12 in the liver can last for months/years so its not always obvious in the beginning.
Those with absorption issues could

Ive actually never tried coffee before, ive obviously had caffeine from other sources such as energy drinks or herbs such as guarana but have never tried a coffee. Maybe one day, with my past history of adrenal exhaustion i think it would be a bad idea lol.

Again synthetic supplements should not be deemed standard in order to achieve a healthy or nutritionally complete diet. If you have some physiological or metabolic need for supplementation then that is a different story and John i have acknowledged this enough times.
The fact is that your need to supplement with Vitamin B12, D and Omega-3's is because your diet lacks or is void of these nutri

Unless you grow your own food then you really don't know what you are really eating.
I wouldn't worry about it too much though, eat a balanced diet then you won't be eating large amounts of any one food.

Hair analysis isn't 100% accurate or anywhere near it, although it is a cheap method of testing and can be helpful, hair analysis can be subject to outside contamination such as shampoo's or hair dye's etc.

I don't put much stock or belief into what any health promoter or guru says they eat, to live to 99 is impressive none the less, i look towards the trends of the majority however. There are breatharian Indian men who claim to live on sunlight until 130, i don't believe a word of that either. My friends gran lived to 98 on cigarettes, daily whiskey and a diet of baked beans and cheese toasties.

It depends where you are located Mindy in the UK and US, it would be doubtful that you'd get these tests. No harm in asking your doctor though, better if you can get it through your primary healthcare provider and under insurance if possible, also you will have someone qualified to interpret the results. Most average doctors aren't clued up on these type of bio-chemical imbalances unfortunately.
