Is Raw Food Good For You?

I periodically see claims that there is no nutritional difference between raw organic produce and regular commercially grown produce. This erroneous information usually comes from Agricultural Extension offices and Professors of Agriculture at “reputable” State Universities. Of course, most of theirr funding comes from chemical and agribusiness companies! Several studies have clearly demonstrated the nutritional superiority of organic produce. One well known study is Organic Foods vs Supermarket Foods: Element levels, By Bob L. Smith, Doctor's Data Inc., Published in the JOURNAL OF APPLIED NUTRITION, VOL 45-1, 1993, © International Academy of Nutrition & Preventive Medicine

Not only is organic more nutritious, but if you don't cook the life out it can stay that way! Cooking not only destroys nutrients and denatures proteins, but many compounds break down and recombine forming the toxins associated with many diseases.

FInally, by eating raw live food, your body can rehabilitate its digestive system, and begin absorbing nutrition more effectively. Once you can actually utilisze the added nutrition in organic live food, you actually get more by eating less - so in the end the increased cost of the produce actually results in a lower total food bill!
