Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Scientific evidence cannot prove the truth of an hypothesis, but it can disprove it.<br><br>That is why scientific evidence is disparaged by those with a belief or interest or way of life that they wish, understandably, to protect.<br><br>But the cure is worse than the disease. If Raw Foodism has to be defended by dismissing scientific evidence, it has become a religion.<br><br>I call for scientific evidence to test the benefits of eating raw food.<br><br>Victor.<br><br>PS: if you dismiss scientific testing, you are left in the paranoid position of talking about enemies. And we all know you can't reason with enemies, so that removes the need for us to be rational.<br>I think raw food deserves better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Victor;<br> I am very sceptical of scientific evidence.I don't know what its like in Australia, but here in amerika, we just buy scientific evidence.For years the tobacco industry " sponsered " studies that showed smoking did not cause cancer. Other studies showed that it did but they were never publicized. The American Dairy Ass. " sponsered " studies that showed that milk strengthens bones. Other studies have shown that dairy products cause osteoporosis, but you won't see that on the weekly T.V. commercials for the American Dairy Ass.<br> Have you noticed, there is no scientific evidence on the other side? No studies have been done to show that cooked food is healthy.<br> I believe this is a common sense issue. I don't need a scientific study to show me that jumping off a cliff is unhealthy ( and I don't believe, not jumping off a cliff is my religion, or that only paranoid people do not jump off cliffs ). Of the estimated 7,000,000,000 organizims on this planet only 1, Man, cooks its food. Fire diminishes everything it touches, trees become ash even hardened steel can be burned to ash. Food becomes smaller softer and darker in color. and is no longer Whole! <br> If you read the books that have been talked about on this site, you will see, there is mounting evidence for raw foods, I would like to add another; " Living Foods for Optimum Health " by Brian R. Clement.<br> PS. No innocent animals have been slaughtered, in the name of science, for the writing of this post.<br><br>Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2000 Report Share Posted February 8, 2000 Kauguy,<br><br>Very well said. I couldn't agree with you more. <br><br>Sadly, the sheep are lined up at the cliff. So difficult to turn them around but a few actually do.<br><br>If opening one's eyes and acting on common sense rather than on majority rule makes one crazy so be it for me.<br><br>Orion's " crazy " Dad (45 and raising his first 2 year old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 Look Guys,<br><br>I think raw food is delicious and probably saved my health.<br><br>I think it is good to tell people how delicious and healthy raw food is. Most people don't know.<br><br>Like you, I'd rather be free than belong, however most people would rather belong than be free. So the best way to reach them is through the institutions they belong to.<br><br>They may be sheep but even sheep can learn to eat freshly cut, raw grass, if all the other sheep do too.<br><br>We must decide do we wish to make them into free spirits like us or will we accept them as sheep whose diet we want to improve.<br><br>I find it frustrating to move one sheep, but my dog and I can move a flock, no worries. So how do we move this flock of consumers?<br><br>The first people to convince are the nutritionists who then pass the message on to consumers.<br><br>Nutritionists are very influenced by scientific studies made at reputable Universities.<br><br>So the first thing to do is to look up the nutrition literature to find what studies have already been done and to find out are there any theories or competing theories of raw food in nutrition.<br><br>The second thing is to write out a clear hypothesis.<br><br>And the third is to write to a University department and ask them to test the hypothesis.<br><br>Sheep think they are very clever for belonging to a flock; they think they are absolutely brilliant for not standing out as prey for the predator. If you tell a sheep to be an individual, she will look at you as if you are mad.<br><br>But while an individual sheep can't be driven, a flock can.<br><br>At least by a man and his dog.<br><br>Victor.
