Brian and Anna Maria Clement on fruits, sprouts and weeds

http://www.RawFoodSuccess.com/
Annet van Dorsser & Esmé Stevens from Raw Food Europe interviewed Brian and Anna Maria Clement in Amsterdam, March 26, 2008.We asked: "What is the best food to eat, if you don't want to eat 100% raw. Brian's answer from a scientific background is remarkable. Don't eat too much fruit. Many people eat massive amounts of fruit and fruit sugars in their raw food diet. There are different reasons, why it is better to avoid this. Sprouts, greens and weeds are much healthier. If you do want to add other foods, it is better to add some cooked vegetables or grains like millet, quinoa, buckwheat and amaranth.

High Fruit and High Fat diets are troublesome for sure. Best thing is obvious, have the foundation of your diet be GREENS !

My partner resists any sorts of change to this kind of living, she is too hooked on meats and 'normal diet' It is difficult as I get sucked back into eating like that.. peer pressure, It can be a lonely path when others think your a nut case.. But to me it makes perfect sense and Im annoyed that in the west of Scotland, no one caters for healthy food like this.. its unheard of.. we fry haggis with chips and our national drink is IRN BRU which is an utter disaster for health..

@Summerrdaize Dates are... ONE example? And they're not exactly used as a caloric staple in Israel. Certainly not to the level that people eating 811 consume them.

[Summerrdaize]

@Lakkhesis1976 Oh? I've seen wild sweet fruit all the time in nature. Dates are a great example, they grow all over the place in tropical areas. Israeli's have eaten dates for thousands of years as a staple... and they originally found them in the wild as sweet as they are today.

@Summerrdaize Sweet fruit, as we know it today in the Western world, does not exist in 'nature'. It's fact, not a matter of opinion or debate.

@HrapovikPlush Durian Rider is claiming that Clement originally agreed to debate him about this issue, but then pulled out. It wasn't exactly this simple... Harley made it next to impossible for Clement administratively, and insisted that Steve Prussack moderate the debate for two reasons: a) Prussak doesn't broadcast debates freely but charges for transcripts/MP3s/live streaming so Harley could make money, b) Prussack is completely biased on this issue, in Harley's favour.

@FletcherHabit I agree. Durianriders is an asshole. He is so sugared out that he has to pee 3-4 times a night cause high sugar fruit is so dehydrating to the body that the body must pee out excess sugars with the urine.

[Summerrdaize]

@dowhatuwill I wish they were breeding bananas to have the highest sugar content possible! Then they would taste super amazing. But they're breeding them for portability, not taste. If fruit today has 20-24 items more sugar than before then monkeys would stave to death from lack of calories, and the fruit would taste like a vegetable.
