Raw Food

Raw food is just another form of extremism. It takes a very good idea: increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, and can take it too far. The reasons to follow an all-raw diet are just bad logic, and can cause great harm.

If you are being honest with yourself and us, you will admit that what the American people eat is NOT what their doctors recommend. There's been a consistent message over the last few decades that we eat too many calories, too little fruit and vegetable, and our sedentary lifestyle is harming us.

After scrolling through AcronymFinder's websites I did find this in their sister site which AcronymAttic which, of course, is a site that archives now defunct or obsolete acronyms:

hM.D. -- Homeopathic Medical Doctor

Her red flags are now big enough to be seen from space.

@floppies You will have to try everything you think is the most healthy, be open minded and you will find what is wright for you. For me is 80-99% raw, varied fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. And people who eat like that or similar, are the most healthy people on earth, and there is plenty of evidence for that. Good luck :)

Raw food isn't just another form of extremism, of course there are people who are, but mostly they aren't, and who are you or some doctor who eat the same things their entire life, to tell people what is "nutritionally" correctly to eat. You really think that you or anyone in the world know exactly what is nutritionally correct for human to eat?? But eating raw has false logic?? Try to learn something before you spend your time and energy on something that you don't know.

Not an expert on that topic, but I believe the nitrosamines form at VERY high temperatures which is part of how a marinade can prevent them, by reducing the cooking temp. Exposure to direct flame would be required to generate that heat.

You made a statement in the video that I agree with. "I don't care what you do, I just care why you are doing it"

If someone tries a raw vegan diet, then that's fine. If they start to get sick, and figure out the problem that is learning process.

Peer reviewed dietary advice in OK and can make a good starting point. But if it isn't working, one should not be too dogmatic to change.

Science is there to guide and inform, not to dictate.

Calories are not relevant in human nutrition. Biochemistry determines when we stop eating and how much we store. Calories are measured by total combustion of food, a different process to digestion.

Exercise is not needed for weight control. Obese infants don't take any less exercise than normal weight ones. The fact is a healthy body properly nourished regulates its food intake. Empty calories in low fiber junk food are designed to trick our bodies to over eat.

@C0nc0rdance

The food pyramid, guides the dietary policy of schools and many people, leads to a diet too high in carbohydrates, and too low in good fats.

The processed and fast food industry are able to latch onto the resulting food and nutrient cravings. Food scientists in this industry are highly skilled at exploiting natural cravings, like adding salt to coke, or High fructose corn syrup to everything.

@C0nc0rdance I have a question regarding grilling in this video. Is it just outdoor grilling that is mostly carcinogenic? What about the use of an indoor George Foreman style grill? Would that be better because there's no smoke and the juices run off the grill?

@wjestick Statins are medications or drugs - this video is about diet.

Peer review does not mean that ''some guys agree''. We have not eaten food on the advice of dieticians or doctors as they have never recommended MacDonalds as representing good nutrition.

Judging from your asinine definition of peer review I think it's pretty clear that there is no point debating you. Please read a book and at least _try_ to understand science and the scientific method.
