Natural Diet = Health; Fads & Drugs mostly = Sickness

In my opinion, the most "scientific" diet is a traditional diet because they are based on vastly more empirical data and study than any other. This is a lengthy topic and impossible to cover fully in 10 minutes but here is an incomplete overview.

What is your opinion on a Raw Food Diet? Fresh organic fruits and veggies with little unroasted nuts and seeds along with only water to drink. No dairy, meat, grains, beans, sugar and very little pink salt.

[lorax2013]

@earthe1 I tried the raw vegan diet at length a couple times in the past. I personally feel it is sort of a mild form of fasting - great benefits to mental clarity and detox, but many/most people may not be taking in enough nutrition to sustain it IMO. Some people do sustain it and claim great benefits while others clearly have deficiencies and drop it. My main feeling is to follow your intuition and be honest with yourself on any diet (or anything) rather than follow dogma.

When you say 'raw' honey. I am assuming that that does not include the cheap honey that one can buy from supermarkets? What is' manuka' honey? That's expensive stuff, very!

[lorax2013]

@CelticReject Most honey sold in stores is heated during the extraction process. This destroys the enzymes. In Ayurvedic medicine there is supposedly a statement to the effect, "uncooked honey is a cure-all & cooked honey is a poison." Unfortunately the terms "raw" & "natural" don't mean anything legally in the US, so with honey you need to actually contact the provider and determine if it was heated during extraction - or buy honey still in the comb.

There is one very good piece evidence which supports a healthy 'modern' diet: it's called life expectancy.

[lorax2013]

@yarco8000 When you look at the reasons for low life expectancy in native cultures it is generally: high infant mortality (infant mortality of 50% gives a life expectancy of 40 years even if everyone else lives to 80 years) also a lot of infectious disease and physical trauma. Once they reach old age, however, native people generally have better health and don't die of heart disease, cancer, & dementia as often as we do.

Exactly why nobody seen DietOramy natural diet? I was randomly shooting Google and stumbled upon it - I must say it is actually the first diet regimen that I have sampled that doesn't make me feel relentlessly famished, and I'm nevertheless losing extra pounds.

@lorax2013 good advice

[aStrayforMyTime]

I've been researching a lot on diet, I found that cultures in the past that eat raw meat and fat from cattle that eat there natural diet grass most likely, tend to be smarter, stronger. for ex. when the easterners arrived they saw some Native Americans had perfect teeth and strong enough to chase and kill buffalo, while other had bad teeth and less healthy. The diff was the unhealthy portion eat more corn. grass fed meats and fats help your body use vitamins.

Awesome... simply awesome

[PaoloDS01]

So true. People think it's normal to have frequently headaches, colds... but in many cases they are just caused from diet. Since I switched to a natural diet very rarely I get sick.

lifespan details show that longest lived people were mostly vegetarians and milk drinkers but not cow milk drinkers ,rather goat ,sheep or donkey. goat is the oldest domesticated animal and goat's milk is known as non allergic and alkalinity promoting. there are other signs that the human body can't deal with meat well ,like low acidity in stomach ,hem-nonhem iron controversy and hemochromatosis. in the past eating animals were not sustainable too. what do you think?

[pklifter]

@teachme2fish - You can ALWAYS trust 'Penn and Teller' to stick to the Corporate party-line on any given issue ;) Without fail.

Penn and Teller are paid-up Corporate shills.

This right here is GOLD

I sincerely hope the page views for this at least double but hopefully triple if we are ever going to stamp out the ignorance of nutrition with modern mankind. Unfortunately we've become so lazy and dumb, but I still have belief in us all !
