Guest guest Posted December 15, 1999 Report Share Posted December 15, 1999 Hi Lion<br><br>I've just joined, so hello everyone!<br>I'm a true fruitarian, and have been for two years, my teeth are fine, but my hair's a lot thinner (less of it, it seems!) and finer (strands) than it was, but it has also become much lighter/fairer.<br>Hope that helps,<br>Bobbiexxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 1999 Report Share Posted December 15, 1999 Thanks Bobbie,<br><br>For the reply... I was starting to wonder....!!<br>I am concerned about the teeth because of the amount of acid in fruits... of course it could be " good " acid and not what we think of as " acid " ... Also Where do you get your protien from on the fruit diet? Do you include nuts in your diet and if so what kind.... Your input is invaluable as your experiencing this first hand... Also could you post a normal days worth of fruits consumed? <br><br>Thanks once again!<br>Lion :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 1999 Report Share Posted December 16, 1999 Perhaps a 'true' raw fooder might eat fruit, vegetables, sprouts, nuts, raw milk, raw fish and raw meat.<br>Is all raw food good for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2000 Report Share Posted January 4, 2000 Hello Lion:<br><br>You have a real valid concern. Fruit acids can damage teeth. But in reality, they will break down unsound portions of your teeth. They will also cause fillings to fall out while your body is still transitioning. If you want to protect your teeth from fruit acids, drink lots of mineral-rich kale juice. Once your body has reached a certain stage in it's adaptation to raw foods, it will undergo a phenomenon that David Wolfe, in his book Sunfood Diet Success System, has aptly named " mineral trade-out " . It is vitally important that during this time you get lots and lots of minerals from greens like kale. If you do this, your teeth will make it through this process intact. Once the " mineral trade-out " is complete, even fruit acids from citrus fruit will not harm your teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
