...or that there is a bodily difference, a weakness, or a mistake in how the diet is being done by the person who gets prediabetic?
I'd just call it a "bodily difference". This is also known as "heredity". It may be a throwback to grandparents or something went wrong during gestation. It doesn't matter; let us just eat in a way that is suited to our present condition, th

Your #2 is correct, for sure.
Some people - okay, most of us - have medical issues we aren't even aware of that need to be dealt with by methods other than diet. Then we will probably see that raw is easier to follow. For example, what the nature doctors/TCM doctors call "liver stagnation". That's just for starters.

"LOOK what it does to spouted almonds

That's a nice little pate in that photo.
I looked up Green Star and what a beauty it is. Nothing it can't do, apparently! This is some kind of improved version. Wish I had the bucks...

Cooked food = warming, building
Raw food = cooling, detoxifying
But this of course is just a generalization. There is some overlap.
This has been known for ages in the "natural" health field.

Re Tom Billings. I must say, though, that he has some very good articles on sprouting here on rawfoods.com. I consider them (almost) the final word.

You want your vegetables to be as fine as baby food? LOL!

Depends what you mean by "grind", i.e., how fine do you want your vegetables chopped?
I can't chew really hard raw vegetables such as beets and carrots, so I put them through my Omega 8001 juicer/food processor fitted with the non-juicing insert. They end up very finely ground, with some of the veg converted into juice. Perfect for me, anyway.

JR stated,
There is a BIG difference and healthy women do NOT menstruate, so to speak, but they still ovulate!
The very old, far Eastern understanding (that I read about some time ago) of menstruation is that it is a good thing, its purpose being to remove any excess mineral (iron, probably) that would over time cause women to become too masculine in their character and behavior (and thus

Sounds like a complicated case. If it was me, I'd head for a licensed practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. About naturopaths, over the past generation or so they've gotten more and more like orthodox MDs and the ones I know (or know of) take a hodge podge, all-over-the-lot kind of approach. You need someone who can cure YOU, not your illness. It is not the same thing.

There is some discussion here about foods that raise blood sugar and other foods that lower it. The propaganda coming from the meat-centered paleo diet promoters is that it is some sort of calamity to consume anything that might raise your blood sugar. LOL! We need both kinds of food and drink: if we are hungry and working hard or have just completed a marathon of running (or productive labor

I've never had such a strong immune system as I do now; I rarely get sick, and yet I eat quite a bit of fruit. Not lots, compared to an 8/1/1er - but it does make up a fair proportion of my daily diet.
I feel good when I have a bit of fruit or sugar. It's all in the dosage. Too much or too little of a basic substance is going to weaken you down the line, I think.

The info (above) on degradation of oxalates is most welcome.
As far as I can glean, the root of the beet contains relatively little oxalates. Not saying this as absolute fact, though.
If all these common foods drain, or prevent absorption of, minerals, why were they consumed? Traditional, pre-science, pre-technology peoples were nobody's fools. They had their own understanding of foo

Some scientists (I think it's scientists; maybe a doctor) say that sprouts should absolutely never be eaten raw. Something to do with anti-nutrients needing to be removed by heating. Sad, but true. I blanch mine (lentils) for a few seconds to be on the safe side. That way, they retain their crunchiness and good qualities but become easier to digest. And tastier. Apparently some sprouts are al

I believe it's the protein component of sprouts that make them a better-balanced food than bananas. (Tai alluded to this in his own way.) Sugar or starch (carbs of all kinds) need to be balanced by protein, and vice versa. If I eat a banana on an empty stomach I'm still hungering a bit later. With sprouts, they keep me going for some time. But both in the same meal is best.

I have done a few of these flushes over the years (different versions).
What you discharge into the toilet is not just one thing. There's all kinds of flotsam and jetsam in there (you place a strainer or colander into the toilet, catch your stuff, rinse it, and then have a look at it).
I suspect that some of the stuff is the result of the oil mixing with other elements, forming soft green

Isn't viktorus blind? if so, why?
Oh, you got me going!
When it comes to writers/promoters of certain diets and lifestyles who develop serious health challenges, they usually won't discuss them. They never repent for having treated a good healing diet as a forever diet. We have to make changes over the span of our lifetime according to changing needs. It is not a crime to do so.

They say we need both iodine and iodide. I take Iosol and sometimes Iodoral. I'm not pathologically deficient, so I take only once a week, but only because I don't consume regular, iodized salt. There's been much written on the topic of Iodine supplementation, so much to wade through.

Compassion has a point of diminishing returns. What does the word even mean? It means "to suffer with". Well, this can turn into moral preening, a desire to be regarded as good and holy by the public. I don't know about anyone else here, but I don't want to spend my life "suffering with" others.
