Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 All About a year ago, I posited the notion in this forum that mixing sugar and fat is not a good thing. It was a conclusion I had reached having rear Dr Robert Atkins. The response I had was of doubt and mystification and at the time I knew that David Wolfe even thought there are benefits to such a mix. The upshot is, having just returned from my holiday, I find an article on just that subject in the 5 August number of Newsweek on page 51 by Ellen Ruppel Shell. Such a mixture is supposed to induce terrible addictions and I notice that those on the SAD are constantly stopping little breaks for coffee, ice-cream etc. and at meal times pile one course on top of another to keep the addiction flowing. The 22 - 29 July number also caught my eye with Roxanne Klien talking about her " living gourmet " restaurant in Larkspur, California. Interestingly only 10% of her clientele live on raw foods but I guess those in transit should especially find it a delight. Its rather far from Brussels where I am.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 There was a short blurb in this month's Yoga Journal on her restaurant.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Hi Peter, I don't know if someone mentioned it, but Dr. Graham also thinks it is very bad to combine fats with sugars. He has found that by doing that our blood sugar levels remain very high for hours while the body tries to digest the sugar which is now harder to digest while combined with the fat. According to Dr. Graham even if we eat sweet fruit our blood sugar will be high for only a very short time and then it quickly goes down. But the poor combinations cause extensive elevated blood sugar levels. This may be quite true. I haven't done any blood sugar readings on myself. But supposedly there is equipment that diabetics use to determine their blood sugar levels. This is something anyone could buy and use. Some day I will buy one of those and do some of my own experiments. Roger P.S.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Have you looked at the ingredients she uses? I would maybe eat there once, but it really wouldn't be totally raw nor as healthy as it could be. The problem with these restaurants is that they have to make it taste good for people who have insensitive taste buds. Once you go totally raw for a while, these restaurants are more like junk food for the raw foodist. They should have a separate menu for the advanced raw foodist. Anyway Roxanne is doing a great job of letting more people know about the Raw Food Diet. There was an article about her restaurant with a few recipes in the New York times a few weeks back or so. Actually it was August 7.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Roger, Of course there is only one animal on the planet that cooks and even deliberately mixes contrasting ingredients. Nevertheless I agree Roxanne is a highly positive force for raw foodism.
