"Also our digestive fire can be limited due to having eaten cooked food for a long time."

The thing is there is not really any real world evidence to back that claim up though..this is the thing with the raw vegan movement..alot of it is based on what other raw people say etc and little seems to actaully be supported by real data. Like the enzyme claims people make..tons of those enzymes are destroyed the hcl acid in the gut instantly..its the saliva in the mouth that you really need the most for enzymes..chew your food.

I dont really want to get into a debate here about raw food..just saying..after a couple years being a strict raw vegan I bega to realize how much crap leaders of that movement just make up at times..and it all sounds really great at first..

The one thing raw food really does have going for it is high bio-photon levels. In the end though I regret ever subscribing to that diet. I feel like it caused some harm after a few years. An organic whole foods diet feels infinatly healthier for both me and my gf, who was raw vegan for 7 years and really went downhill at the end of her time on that diet. If you do not have years of experience with this diet please be careful about what you say abotu it and who you say it to. I feel bad for supporting this diet like it was the best thing ever and trying to get other people to get into it for so long becasue of how many people end up sick after years of doing it.

If it works for you though, then it works for you.
