Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 The learned Doctor surprises me when he says it is fine to mix raw fruit and vegetables. He is the first writer on raw food that I have read who says such. I think he should try it!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Fruit is the product of a flower and therefore includes tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers etc. Seeds and nuts are a product of a fruit but require different digestive enzymes. Different digestive enzymes also are called upon for fruit than that for vegetables, but one exception is celery which can be combined with fruit. I still have no problem with digestion using tomato, lettuce, sprouts, peppers, carrots, celery, broccoli, califlower, galic and cukes in the same salad, but it would be optimum to separate and eat the fruits first, allowing 15 minutes before eating the veggies. Where most problems begin is combining STARCHES with either fruits, vegetables or proteins. That's when the fermentation and pH conflicts begin.. As a less that 100% raw foodist, I also use cold pressed organic flax oil to provide the essential fatty acid Omega 3 to my diet. 100%ers can find Omega 3 other ways but it requires some intent and research to find a way to get enough. The Omega 3 balance can be upset by too much of another Essential fatty acid, Omega 6. Raw foodist should be aware that when eating Omega 6 rich foods, while good for you in their own right, will upstet this balance unless Omega3 is injested at a higher ratio at the same time. For for better skin radiance, clear brain function and a healthy cardio vascular system, it is imoprtant to injest enough Omega 3. Best vegetarian source is flax seed with sprouts, almonds and other fatty nuts as the most common in a diet. These nuts should never become rancid because that is destructive rather than constructive. rusty - " Peter Gardiner " <petergardiner <rawfood > Tuesday, May 06, 2003 8:18 AM RE: [Raw Food] Re: Food Combining/Marcelo > The learned Doctor surprises me when he says it is fine to mix raw fruit > and vegetables. > > He is the first writer on raw food that I have read who says such.
