Overgrowths of candida often make you field “yeasty,” tired, and not like yourself. People blame the sugar, but they’re confusing causes with fuel. Learn how to get rid of Candida permanently here:

32. Re: You probably know a diabetic who might die 15 years too soon.

I don't really feel guilty, but do feel a bit of regret. It wouldn't have taken so much time to spend more time with him and explain some things in a deeper way. Of course some people will change and others do not, doesn't change the fact that everyone can make a difference by at least putting the effort in. And while I respect your idea that some people cannot get off type two, I would ca

33. You probably know a diabetic who might die 15 years too soon.

Statistically speaking, you probably have a friend or family member who is a type two diabetic. Many of them will die up to 15 years before they would if they didn't have the disease. I just lost a great uncle to diabetes who was far too young to die. Oh, I mentioned that he could reverse it with diet a time or two and suggested he read a few books, but I never gave it the concentrated push

34. The Real Cause Of High Blood Sugar, And How You Can Test For Yourself

One of the oddest parts of the raw food movement is that a section of its adherents demonize fruit, perhaps the most natural, human-ideal food we can consume. Many blame the fact that it "floods the body with sugar," raising blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels do indeed lead to all kinds of problems, including the raw foodist's bane, candida, as well as type two diabetes and

35. Enzymes And Nonsense - Are there really digestive enzymes in raw food?

You hear about it constantly from raw foodists – cooking food destroys the digestive enzymes in them, forcing our body to expend energy to create its own. But is there any truth to this idea, or just another raw food myth that makes the diet a laughingstock for those who study the body? Find out here:

44. Kick Butt Low Fat Raw Vegan Dressings

I like a good salad. I'm not really the type to just chomp on a head of lettuce by itself -it's gotta have something savory or sweet on it to dress it up. When I first went raw I missed the oil-and-vinegar-based dressings I'd grown accustomed to, but soon I realized that you can easily make some really amazing low-fat, salt-and-toxin-free dressings using only fresh ingredients.

45. A Different Take On Vitamin D

Vitamin D has come up a few times here before, and it's understandably a big concern for raw vegans, who do not eat food that has been supplemented with D. I certainly respect the opinions and expertise of the other contributors, but I feel that D supplementation is being oversold without regard to what the consequences may be. There's significant reason to believe that D supplements are no

The Paleo Diet has emerged as a kind of bizarre polar opposite of a low fat raw vegan diet.
