6151. Re: purple potatoes
Good source of phytonutrients but also of starch. I am told by a Peruvian friend that they were one of the first naturally hybridized potato crops. We in the Northern Hemisphere just didn't get them until the last few decades. I wonder if they're the same thing the Okinawans are eating? I though these were a variety of yam or taro? I'll look it up.

Great job, Ryan--good use of citations and sticking to a strict thesis. Consider sending this for publication. Look forward to reading future posts!

Solanine is neutralized by cooking the potato. The toxins in the leaves of nightshades are a more potent poison from which digitalis used to be derived. You ought not to eat a solanine-laced raw potato tuber, but it's up to you, so that's my word on it.

fresh: The study IS interesting. I remember having a conversation about just that with an oncologist several years ago. There was also something about haem iron being carcinogenic and non-haeme iron being prophylactic that I found interesting; it ballasts the "greens protect you from cancer" argument. But it was one of those conversations that really wander, so you don't have enough

6155. Re: purple potatoes
Unpeeled raw potatoes are high in usable Vitamin C, potassium, sodium, and depending on where grown, chromium(which is necessary in proper insulin utilization). I would advise, as raw potatoes taste like the Devil's spit, that they be juiced with greens and lemon for the most palatable consumption. I tell you this out of personal experience and concern for your sanity. : )

Nope, solanine is found in all parts of the nightshade plant. You know, like that green tinge on a potato tuber, which grows underground. What I'm appalled by is that goji berries are considered a nightshade. WHAT?! Hopefully, this is just botanical semantics . . .

Yes, one has a porphyrin ring with iron and the other with magnesium, and one has a bit more oxygen than the other. But as a cursory internet search shows, the amount of anecdotal evidence suggesting the tonifying attributes of chlorophyll outnumbers the obscure number of double blind in vitro and in vivo studies on the tonifying attributes of chlorophyll(and I'm not holding my breath

6158. Re: Calcified glands...
What is the cause of the calcification? And what are the glands implicated? Is this a matter of detoxification? Of limiting/boosting nutrients to relieve a condition? Lots of variables, huh?

6159. Re: new and need help
mtrddog,
Remember to get plenty of leafy greens, juiced or whole, tart berries, kelp, and spirulina into your diet. Watch your B vitamin levels; diabetics do not need an excess of these, as they can interfere with insulin production. Victoria Boutenko got into raw foods because her son was diagnosed with Type II diabetes and she was afraid to put him on insulin(very hard on the kidneys). He

Nightshades have a class of chemicals called solanine(you know this as the toxic greenish growth under the peels of old potatoes). It is just like a little nanobot that invades your muscle and joint tissues, and impairs various enzymes, sulfur distribution, iron and copper intake, and in general causes lots of inflammation. Well, not "just" like a little nanobot, but almost as nasty.

Agh! That's the query I'm implying! "Do body builders consume their protein raw?" was not meant rhetorically--I'm REALLY asking, because I don't know that much about pro body building. The mathematical odds are that there must be at least one. It would be interesting for someone to try this as an experiment: how huge can I get on just high calorie/high protein/high fat

debbietook,
In the States, we have yams and sweet potatoes. The former is from Africa, the latter is from South America, and both are edible, though unpleasantly starchy, in their raw state. Interestingly, what you are referring to as a "grey-colored" yam sounds like the south Asian taro root, which is HIGHLY toxic in its raw state. The leaves of it, also. In the States, these ar

6164. Re: protein..
paulieGB: But do body builders consume their protein RAW? That's part of my point; supposedly, your body constructs protein more efficiently from raw proteins or individual amino acids than from, say, powdered cooked whey supplement and hard-boiled eggs. If this is true, no wonder body builders mainline Tiger Bars or Russian Bear or whatever--they're metabolisms can't keep up with their energy

fresh,
How can you not find anything about the tonifying attributes of wheatgrass?! Isn't it common knowledge that chlorophyll is almost identical to human hemoglobin? I learned this in science class; must I cite the primary source of every fact I have accumulated over several decades? I am so tired from just thinking about it . . .

Reverse osmosis filtered--trace minerals added back in. Fluoride and chlorine undermine your thyroid, so I don't drink tap water. It would be nice to have a spring nearby . . .

This is my two cents: we don't have the mandible, dentition, or gastrointestinal tract of a carnivore. We do have primate physiology, and that entails consumption of a plant based diet. The term omnivore is overused; possibly invalid for being inapplicable consistently. You maybe CAN eat everything, but OUGHT you to? There are reams of clinical data, besides the China study, that show the SA

Hey! Anybody who eats more sprouted beans, seeds, or nuts than is typical for a fruitarian, please respond to iLIVE's query! I myself eat lots of sprouts and soaked nuts. I have tried eating sprouted beans, but I just don't find them palatable. Indeed, I got somewhat queasy when eating the last batch of fresh sprouted garbanzo hummus.

6173. Re: protein..
Remember: it's not protein you need but aminos. Your body will use aminos to synthesize protein in the absence of pre-synthesized protein. That's why raw foodists manage to maintain musculature even on a high fruit diet. There are a lot of interesting threads here from raw bodybuilders--check them out, if you haven't already. Ta!

Very interesting photos! I see now how you were prompted to ask about intravenous chlorophyll on that other thread--the people in these photos are really doing a "topical" application of chlorophyll to oxygentate the immediate area of the sinuses or the cornea of the eye. I know of people who apply fresh wheatgrass juice to burns and cuts, as the oxygen in it instantly kill

There is a quite frenetic thread on this elsewhere, with many links to studies. Please take some time to read through it; lots of valuable stuff. I take seaweed and dried mushrooms, but apparently, am a ticking timebomb for Bell's Palsy. . .

Always take oregano oil judiciously and with an edible carrier oil. It's highly caustic! Also, it kills all pathogens effectively, which, if it happens too fast, can concievably result in sepsis--your spleen, liver, and kidneys can take only so much.

No. Blood and chlorophyll are not chemically completely identical. You can't just put whatever into your bloodstream as into you mouth. Well, you can't just put whatever into your mouth, either; )

Dried fruit, community builder. You'd be so bored with your vittles you'd want to die, but you wouldn't die from your vittles : ) My problem with Doc Mercola, to whose anti-fructose tirades I have always responded contrarily on his message boards, is that he seems to use fructose as a stealthy and subtle means of pushing a "meatist" agenda. Like, don't eat fruit; it will make you fat
