I actually thought this was common knowledge. Fruits ripen.Some do on the plant and some continue after they are picked. When they are green they contain a lot of digestive enzymes and they are not sweet. As they ripen,the enzymes break the starch into simpler sugars,the protein into amino acids,and the fat into fatty acids. This is why ripe fruits are so digestable. If you find any evidence to d

I believe that most,if not all the protein in leaves and all vegetables are stuctured. Only ripe fruits contain free form amino acids. However,the proteins in leafy greens are disassembled and reassembled very easy. Much easier than the denser proteins found in seeds and animal tissue....Sorry,I don't have the percentages that you seek.

C. Dove
Yes, you are correct. They do contain a high amount of amino acids,thus having a high caloric percentage.But greens are so low in total calories,that the body won't get toxic amounts of protein...in other words,leafy greens provide a small amount of high quality protein. Plus the fact that leafy greens are almost always eaten raw keeps them in an unaltered natural state.

Go easy on the phosphorus and Protein,they are very acidic. There should be a higher Ca to P ratio for better absorption...leafy greens are the best sources of calcium...Actually potassium,magnesium,boron and sunshine are as important as calcium for bone health.

CleanJan, The fatty acids in fish are not essential for humans. Bryan's approach is the most sensible approach to this issue. More greens and the elimination of vegetable oils. Balance is the key. However,if you feel like you want to consume more EPA & DHA there are vegan sources.

All the pioneers responsible for reversing serious chronic diseases,Barnard,McDougall,Pritikin,Ornish,etc. recommend 10% or less caloric fat.

Yes,this happens as well. Dr. Neal Barnard explains this in his book on reversing diabetes. He also says excess fat is in the muscle cells as well, preventing insulin function.

Oil or excess fat in general will coat everything circulating in the blood,causing a negative effect on everything,including immune function. This "coating" is well known in the scientific community.

Loose skin issues are really a sign that the body still has a coniderable amount of fat that needs to be lost. there are fat deposits laying within the folds of the sagging or hanging skin,and when that goes,the skin will retain it's normal tone. Of course resistance exercise will help build muscle....Most obese or morbidly obese folks lose alot of weight,but truly need to lose a lot more,but are

Arachidonic Acid,the long chain Omega 6 fatty acid will turn on the inflammatory process. Animal products provide a plentiful supply of this fatty acid. It is also made in our bodies from the shorter chain omega 6 fatty acid,Linoleic Acid. Thus it is not essential.The omega 3 fats,EPA in particular keep inflammation in check. By avoiding animal products and vegetable oils,inflammation will stay a

I feel that dietary manipulation should always be tried before iron supplementation. Blood loss is usually a common cause of iron deficiency. However,a raw diet is not deficient in iron. High banana,high green leaf intake,and NO dairy leaves a nice balance.

Congratulations! What an opportunity to experience and compare the advanages of a high raw plant-based diet. I would suggest that you add some "vegan DHA" throughout your pregnancy and lactation. And some B-12 too,for assurance only. Other than that,relax and enjoy. Lots of leafy greens. A must!

Here are John McDougall's Comments on H.Pylori:
H. Pylori
In 1982 two physicians isolated bacteria in the stomach tissues of patients with gastritis (chronic inflammation of the stomach linings). Subsequently, these bacteria, known as Helicobacter pylori or H. pylori, has been found to be involved in most patients with stomach and duodenal ulcer disease. H. pylori can be found in the stoma
