Raw Food Episode 16-Optimal Digestion with Brian Clement

[kristmist]

My guess behind the reason why people like to drink something with their meals is because they don't bother to chew their food properly and have it mixed with saliva. So the drink acts like saliva - lubricant. eh?

[TheRogueMonk]

its difficult to eat if your stomach is full of water I KNOW.

but i agree that one should drink water after the mal to be able to eat without stomach bloating.

[NOweWONT]

This is just plain ass-backwards wrong. Rinsing your mouth out during eating prevents cavities. If you let the acid and sugar stay on your teeth, your teeth will rot out of your freaking skull.

[NOweWONT]

Google the book:

Good Teeth, Birth to Death, by Dr. Gerald F. Judd, Ph.D.

[Biankoneri]

You arent meant to eat sugar and acids, but a healthy diet.

[888chris403]

Sorry!

You need water to and green food juice.

[RogerHaeske]

A healthy diet should be 90% carbohydrate. I agree with that but you're never going to get that % by eating greens & no fruit.

Big error of facts in this video. If you eat five massive salads a day you could hope for about 500 calories from carbohydrates. Most people could never eat that much greens in a day.

Add in 5 avocados for 1,635 total calories and about 62% of calories are coming from fat and only 18% coming from carbs. His statement simply isn't possible if getting enough calories.

[zenjirou]

His recommended consists primarily of sprouts. And thats what he means by greens. He actually mixes sprouts with greens. Sprouts of lentils(mung,garbonzo,etc) are nearly 40-50% Carbohydrates.

Problem with fruits is its sugar content is much higher than carbohydrate content. It breaks down to the same thing, but Carbs do not cause insulin spikes and strain on the pancreas as sugar does.

Pardon me, but... not only not enough 'healthy' calories, but no offense intended here, has anyone noticed how overweight he is? What's going on there?

With all due respect, he doesn't look fit at all. Do I see dark circles under his eyes too? if you're not fit, you're not healthy.

Eat Raw (low fat raw) and Prosper

[VedicIntelligentsia]

I totally agree, this guy looks unhealthy. I believe he is a con man.

[metaman99]

You don't know him, I do. He has dedicated his life to educating and saving others. Do a little research before you judge.

[theAKtor]

he has a lot of muscle, i've seen other vids of him in a tshirt, he has huge arms for a vegan who comsumes pure food, no sun warrior protein, just sprouts

[MusicVideosOnly]

@beautyaroundmebeauty  You may not think he looks healthy... but show me any other man in his -60's- that looks this good. Yes, 60! That is how old he is. I've seen a lot of men on raw in their 60's and none of them look as healthy as Brian Clement. Not to mention the thousands of lives he has saved. How many lives have other ways of raw saved?

[MusicVideosOnly]

@beautyaroundmebeauty .. continued:

I personally suffer from liver disease and I can tell you... a high fruit diet has caused me nothing but harm.

How many ill people have you -personally- known that have gotten well that way? I'm curious...

[metaman99]

Dr. Clement does not advocate eating more than 10% of your total diet from fruit, and the fruit that you do eat is not the high sugar hybrid stuff in the supermarkets

[kristmist]

@metaman99 How much people don't know. I thought I was on a healthy diet, I was proud of it, I ate 90% fruits for many months. No wonder my vision got worse and probably some other things too.

Nobody presents us with more information that the media, which lies to us. So how are we supposed to know? We start researching only if we're interested in nutrition or we get really sick. And even then we're taught to turn to the pills.

[metaman99]

Youre a flippin idiot. I've seen Dr. Clement in person many times, he is totally fit. And he is 65 years old! Look at other videos of him and you will see how fit he is.

[tonyg0123]

@metaman99 I thought clement just turned 60?...anyways, he looks great and will probably live past 100...easily

[SpaceWalkTraveller]

@metaman99 Dr. Clements was born in 1951. In 2011 he turned 60. He still has another 5 year until he reaches 65. Either way he still look great for someone who is 60.

[leasha251]

Yes but if you add green smoothies & green juices it is easy to consume much higher amounts of greens each day.

[theenchantedkitty]

exactly!

[fr3d420]

its so annoying to watch people eat and drink at the same time... like... DUH. would you eat a sandwich blended with water?
