Raw food diets gain popularity
Poughkeepsie Journal
Having experienced a popularity surge in recent years, raw food diets have gleaned praise from practitioners, though many caution a completely raw diet could be detrimental.
Also referred to as “living diets,” a raw food diet consists of eating what the Earth has provided in its natural state: uncooked fruits and vegetables.
Janet Draves, a certified nutritionist based in northern Dutchess County, said while fruits and vegetables are undoubtedly healthy, some raw foods, such as fiber-rich broccoli and cauliflower, should be cooked to aid digestion.
“The best thing to do is ditch all the chemicals in your food.
“A lot of people say soda just has high-fructose corn syrup.
In order for milk to be considered pasteurized, it’s heated until beneficial enzymes, which aid digestion, are gone, Draves said.
She also said a vegetarian diet is unhealthy, not only because a heavy reliance on soy wreaks havoc on the endocrine system, but because vegetarians lack certain amino acids present in beef and nowhere else.
Rick Panson, a microbiologist specializing in nutritional microscopy, says he’s all for a healthy balance of a heavily raw diet with some cooked foods thrown in, though he is concerned with Americans’ tendencies to overacidify our systems with a few simple ingredients.
Where starches encourage acid production in our systems, Panson said plants rich in alkaline chlorophyll have the ability to reverse the acidity and detoxify the system.
that most animals are grazing on grass, because grass is the most prolific producer of chlorophyll in its simplest form,” he said.
While the seeds are basically nutritionless, they carry loads of nutritional potential to eventually provide us with chlorophyll — the cleanest fuel available, Panson said.
The amount of nutrition in a mouthful of broccoli sprouts is 30 times that of a handful of broccoli raw,” he said.
“When you look out the window and see all those beautiful green leaves on the trees, the tree will drop all its moisture back into the root system.
He blames advertisers for keeping up the consumer interest, as well as the medical community for using medications to treat diseases Panson said wouldn’t be so prevalent if doctors cautioned more patients to stop eating from the box.
