  • yes

  • Dehydration is inferior to sun-dried but superior to baking or cooking in anyother ways.

    Why did people cook ina the first place? To make the food last longer. Storage.

  • I love your pies! It reminds me of when i first started out on raw foods

  • Aris Latham is a FRAUD, a Liar and a thief!

  • Aris Latham oxner of Sunfired Foods in Panama is a fraud, a scam artist. Please dont send him any moeny. WE sent him money for aretreat and then didn't receive one and didn't get a refudn either. BE WARNED>

  • @Adina940

    HAHAHA! I checked to see if you were doing this on all the videos and you are. Really, get a hold of yourself Adina/Empress. We saw you at the retreat and you really should try for Dr. Latham's advice about keeping mentally healthy. You are not behaving as an empress. Think about it!

  • I agree with Aris it is how native americans lived, they migrated, the Cherokee anyway, and they had forests of chestnut trees and other foods. I love coconuts, I used to want to go to Belize, maybe to eat coconuts, but really for the drums.

  • He is right. 'raw food' has such a mass of negative connotations surrounding it.. as soon as I tell someone i eat 'raw food', they always think im completely fucked up.. whereas if I just said 'fresh food' i'm sure things would be very very different... Ima try that from now on.

  • yes, my family and I do enjoy some dehydrated foods.  my boys especially love fruit chips and veggie crisps. but we enjoy plenty of fresh too.

    I loved the show!

  • this guys is a master...love him...i will aspire to eat no dehydrated foods

  • dehydrated food = healthy cooked food; a dehydrated cracker is as healthy as organic wholegrain bread for example. To me there is no such thing as dehydrated *raw* food! That's a paradox!!

  • yeah sometimes, its a great way of preserving the foods but this topic has been on mind for a while now, I would say its always best to get fresh juicy foods with all the water content intact, eatting the foods the way God has given the foods to us! :)

  • I sure DO! Finished up a batch of Apple-Cinnamon-Almond Buckwheat Grawnola earlier today lol

    I don't think it's necessary and can actually cause constipation if I don't drink enough liquids, but I do enjoy dehydrated foods on occasions.

    I try to eat 50-75% raw everyday, and while some foods I've learned to juice (like potatoes) I remember Adam and Eve didn't have a juicer, but they did have fire. My goal is to eliminate processed sweeteners and food. My last month of gluten free cereal :)

  • Thank you!!

  • I live in Toronto, Canada. We have serious health problems like more MS cases and diabetes and all that good stuff. I started buying only fresh bio foods and got a mix of powedered smoothie mix that includes spirulina and all that... What else can we do here? BTW: I was diagnosed with MS 18 years ago and take no medications and feel amazing but I think health foods is only part of the wellbeing equation: Attitude is a big part of health.

    Namasté all!

  • Awesome ;D

  • What do you think of sprouted grain wraps?? i know there cooked at 250 degress!

  • Great topics, Im really enjoying the different perspectives you bring to the raw food movement

  • I don't dehydrate or blend. I juice and eat whole foods. But when I get to go to a raw vegan restaurant I get dehydrated foods sometimes and buy raw crackers at the health food store...as treats.

  • i do eat dehydrated food, but now I am going to eat less and less until I'm not eating it anymore, thank you for sharing this!

  • i'm really loving your series of interviews..thank you

  • agree with topstot. You shouldn't eat dehydrated foods. it is best to eat fruit fresh, as drying and dehydrating concentrat fruit sugars to an unnatural level that the body is not designed to handle. it is also important to eat fruit while, not juiced, as the fiber in fruit slows sugar absorption to its natural speed. in all cases and with all foods, whole, fresh, ripe, raw, and unprocessed is the way to go.

  • not to get picky cos i looooove coconuts too and have to live somewhere with them but i just did some research and apart from having a good source of calories, if you have a few a day 2-300 in a litre...they re predominantly omega 6 protein .48g per 250ml (2g/L) which is over RDA of 1.4...with what we know about ratios we dont want to out wiegh our 6's too much so keep the greens coming to balance them out....most fruit are equal. never dehydrate, but may eat raisins/apricots sometimes and SDT's

  • I eat dehydrated buckwheat everyday, thats all I eat that is dehydrated, all the rest is fresh, fruit and veggies, but i mostly eat fruit. Seriously if people keep saying dehydrated food is bad for you and fruit is bad for you , there wont be anything left to eat on this world, whats left vegetables? whos going to survive on just veggiesO.o Eat dehydrated foods, its raw and healthy, its not like your eating cooked food that all they enzymes are dead

  • @xsliceofheavenx

    fruit bad? cut down on any fats and continue to eat more fruits and you should notice yourself they re perfectly fantastic.

  • This is devoid of informational content. How about addressing the issue and that is how are dehydrated foods less in nutritional value than fresh? Enzymes? vitamins? How important are those enzymes? and so on.

  • @takforalt

    waterless foods are misproportionate and do not steadily reduce nutrients into the system through dilution. according to Doug Graham...its like eating candy, raisins are high sugar, calorie, nutrient but spike blood levels cos of low water.

  • i eat dried fruit but im really not into dehydrating foods. the juices of fresh fruit, greens, and vegetables is where its at!

  • I still do eat some deh. food - but not much. Especially not as much as I used to in the beginning.

    Debbie *Ü*

  • Absolutely I eat dehydrated food. I eat half raw and half cooked... Mostly all green... I am cutting down on things like raw nuts, avacado, high sugar fruits... I think body type applies even if you are on a raw food diet. He might be able to eat a lot of high sugar fruits, but not me. My body doesn't like all that high sugar, regardless of whether it is raw or cooked...

  • I always enjoy talks with Aris Latham. I dont have a dehydrator but I have had a dehydrated snack every now and then. But that is the least of my food issues. But if you are striving for more raw I do feel like too much dehydrated foods make you feel weight down and sometimes sleepy.

  • That was a great interview!!! Thanks for posting.

    Would dates count as dehydrated food??

    If so, then yes. I eat dehydrated food.

  • i dont see a problem with dehydrators. i do dehydrate my foods. i dont like his definition of raw lol. raw food has enzymes. he has interesting views.

  • not yet but i will be getting one

  • Never had dehydrated food. I do like how he says fresh food as opposed to raw. can you imagine if everyone went south. think your city is over crowded now? ;)

  • i eat raisens, but they are good for your teeth.

  • dangit! and I just bought a dehydrator on Friday! Juicer is next.

  • No dehydrator in my house.....only eat fresh greens like kale, spinach, cilantro, parsley, romaine, clover sprouts, avocado, berries, apples, tree ripened fruits or none at all, cucumbers, celery, dulse by the truckload, raw cider vinegar, sea salts, coconuts......seems to be all I need to live....and a few cacao beans to munch on raw. No dehydrated food, nuts or seeds, beans or grains, no animal anything. He doesn't seem arrogant.....he just cool!

  • Loved the point of raw foods are fresh foods. Would be cool to be nomadic and experience fresh foods at their source. Wish I could afford to do that!

  • Well said Dr. Latham!

  • I want to move south. Also after 521 episodes I'm not surprised they are running out of things to talk about

  • @okeeno27 , whats stopping you?Where would you like to go?

  • Money and lots of it. I haven't figured out the best location. Will need to find a job there and a good community .

  • I do live in Alaska (working towards traveling during winter months) and cannot process sugars well...I use a dehydrater to make crackers from my juice fiber and sprouted flax and sunflower seeds...but it is more of a treat than the bulk of my diet: fresh veg, green juice and superfood elixers...occasionally to warm up soup

  • Dehydrators are WAAY too expensive and dont seem worth the effort and length of time it takes, and it strips prescious nutrients!

  • Aris lathan has no wrinkles!! The only thing aging him is his beard, namely the grey hairs. He sounds very knowledgable yet slightly arrogant.

  • I really did not pick up on his arrogant vibe that you feel but let's hope his heart is not of arrogance.  I too struggle with pride. We all sin.

    Proverbs 16:5 (New King James Version)

    Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.

  • @thesetwofeet I didnt pick up any of thise vibes either.

    Lots of good quotes in there too.

  • @whoever thumbed me down,

    I respect all opinions, but have the courage to speak your opinion rather than simply hiding behind a rating.

  • @thesetwofeet someone doesn't like you.

    almost everytime that I see a comment from you there s an instant thymbs down?

    Its a pity.I put thumbs up but it got erased with another down.

    Dont worry about it feet.

    Peace

  • Haha, well thanks for the support. I don't care if I get thumbs down. I just would like for someone to speak their mind. I am not infallible and have often been shown my error.

    I did not say the man was arrogant. I said he didn't sound arrogant in this video to me.  I thought he sounded convicted.

    I also said I struggle with pride. I do.

    I said we all sin. We do.

    The only other thing you can disagree with is God and that would be bold but unfortunately common.

  • Yep I agree afterall who are any of us to judge....
