182. Re: Food Dehydrators
But say you have to dehydrate sweet potato for 24 hours, and the potato gets steamed for 5-10 minutes immediately after it is peeled. Even though it's not raw, surely it's fresher than the dehydrated potato?

How does dehydrated food measure up (in the health stakes) against steamed food?
i.e. what's healthier- dehydrated sweet potato or steamed sweet potato?

Wow. Those are very powerful stories, thank you for sharing. As upsetting as the stories are, it's inspiring to read that you have gained strength from them.

I never had any issues with my weight until a turning point in my early twenties where I developed a 'taste' for SAD-style (veggie) food and became slightly overweight. At the time, I was isolated in an awful, one-sided relationship and I had brainwashed myself into thinking everything was okay and normal. I've always disliked thinking about this time as it brings up feelings of resentment and bi

I agree. I don't see how anyone can live a fairly inactive lifestyle and assume that just eating raw food will keep them slim/toned.
Also if you're already overweight, trying to get rid of those last few pounds is always extremely difficult no matter how miraculous your diet. It's easy to fall into a 'comfort' zone where you definitely aren't overeating, but aren't exercising enough either. Th

If you feel uncomfortable, just tell the others you're vegan for allergy-reasons and to be on the safe side, a salad with some seaweed will be fine.
That will keep them quiet.

kris- where's the science in nightshades interfering with b12 consumption?
Are any edible nightshades worse than others for this? i.e. tomatoes worse than eggplant?
I occasionally take a liquid b12 supp. I feel 'better' for having it, more for peace of mind than anything.

Organic, dried peppermint tea used to be part of my morning routine, until I ran out and forgot to buy more.
It was then I realised how dehydrated it was making me feel. It would get my digestion working quickly, but I would also feel thirsty and a little lethargic.
I've stopped drinking it now, but am using the odd green tea here and there to wean me off of my caffeine addiction. In the c

dhsredhead- I'm UK based. The supermarkets only carry usually carry 1 or 2 rice milk brands, but since I tend to frequent health food shops more, their non raw alternatives to cow's milk tend to have very basic ingredients, that includes nut milks too. As for the salt, many 'raw' food recipes are loaded with it! Obviously, two wrongs don't make a right, but I guess it depends on the individual an

Even though store-bought rice milk isn't just rice and water it is a far healthier alternative to cow's milk (http://www.milkmyths.org.uk/health/index.php).

I thought they were the same thing, but I thought that people tend to use the word goji when referring to the dried berry and used the word wolfberry when referring to the fresh berry/plant.
I got two goji/wolf berry plants for my birthday. Yay!!
I just looked on Wikipedia- I didn't know they were in the nightshade family!

pakd4fun- I never knew figs were high in calcium (I am a sucker for a fig- fresh, dried, whatever, they're beautiful!). I have eaten them like that before too, and given my yoyo attitude to food (one day healthy, next day unhealthy and so on), I wouldn't be surprised if I was deficient and it was my body spurring me on!
Thanks for the answers and experiences. I guess I feel like of all the yea

For a long time I've been a bit confused by deficiencies and their longterm effect. Lets say someone was fairly deficient in protein and several vitamins (i.e iron, zinc etc) for ten years, what does it take to repair that damage? What exactly IS the damage?
Can the body even recuperate at all- even by going raw and ensuring they get adequate protein, zinc, iron, B12 etc? Surely even eating r

When my dad buys cellophane-wrapped bananas (instead of loose), opening the wrapping gives off a smelly-feet smell!
Sometimes it's off putting and I'll use the banana in a smoothie instead of by itself. I haven't had any ill effects, but you're right, it is a bit strange.
