Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Greetings! I was in Barnes n Noble today and happened onto a new (to me) raw food book. It's titled LIVING CUISINE The Art and Spirit of Raw Foods, by Renee Loux Underkoffler. So far, it looks pretty good, with lots of tasty recipes in it. I've got almonds soaking to make Almond Biscotti tomorrow. Cheers! Christina May my journey benefit ALL beings! Blessed Be the Peacemakers! May Blesswings of Peace n Love surround you! May your Mind be filled with Wisdom. May your Eyes be filled with Beauty. May your Soul be filled with Peace. May your Heart be filled with Love. May we ALL live in a State of Grace. Peace Be With You Always. ~~Christina Moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Christina, That is a great book LIVING CUISINE The Art and Spirit of Raw Foods, by Renee Loux Underkoffler). I have found a couple good salad dressing recipes, as well as some others. I'm glad you found it. Tell us how the Almond Biscotti turns out. I was also looking at that recipe.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Viveca, Speaking of salad dressings, I am looking for a couple of good ones because I eat my greens without dressing and they can be bitter at times. Do you mind sharing one or two? thanks Carson Get better spam protection with Mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 You have trimmed off your dressing. If you send it I will Peter Peter- Can you please explain why...... -Linda > Nicolas, > > If you read Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat to Live, you may want to consider a total > revision of your dressing. > > Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Linda, I found your ingredients. Raw honey Extra virgin olive oil Cinnamon sea salt I will leave raw honey aside as I cannot recall anything about that On page 41 he explains about olive oil and it goes straight into fat. Cinnamon is a herb and an irritant. Salt stings when you put it on a cut because it kills. It makes you thirsty and want to wash it out. The good doctor says that dressings are a complete deception. They do far more harm that the salad does good. Peter- Can you please explain why...... -Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Peter, I don't have the book. What's the scoop with olive oil?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Jesse Essentially olive oil goes into fat with just a 3% loss. He says, " Olive oil and other salad and cooking oils are healthy foods. " There is more to it but that is the bottom line. Peter, I don't have the book. What's the scoop with olive oil?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 > Salt stings when you put it on a cut because it kills. It makes you thirsty > and want to wash it out. - Salt is also a preservative so the bugs won't eat the food. But if the bugs won't eat it....hmmm.....connect the dots. You get your minerals from foods not salts. - > On page 41 he explains about olive oil and it goes straight into fat. - Only if eaten in excess of the body's requiremenrt for fuel at the moment. So, One tablespoonsfull on a salad should be ok, providing there is no more food intake for an hour or two. Hoever, I'm not recommending OliveOil as a Raw food Diet, just putting the fat thing into contex. The body burns fat a like a fireplace burns a log and burns carbs like a fireplace burns paper and kindling. [refined (bad) carbs are paper and raw organic carbs are kindling.] We require a long slow burn and keep the underfire fed as needed with the kindling. However, when too much fuel is dumped into the fireplace at one time the problems begin. I drop the fireplace metaphor now to go into the body's mechanism. The body need some glucose for brain function and quick respose fuel reqirements. The body also requires a slow constant of some fat. But when either is overloaded the response is: With the fats such as olive oil, as Peter points out, goes directly to fat storage but the glucose takes a longer, and more destructive route to the conversion to fat. The excess glucose in the bloodstream stimulates the pancreas to sectete insulin which the liver uses to convert the gulcose to glycogen which then leaves the bloodstream and is stored in the liver and muscles to be used FIRST when the digestive track is sending no more fuel to the fire. These stores can last up to 72 hours. Only then does the body turn to the fat store for fuel. After the glycogen resevoirs are filled, the excess glycogen is converted to fat by the liver and then stored in the fat cells. So Therefore excess carbs finally become fat but strain the pancreas and the liver and set one up for insulin resisatnce and all the other things excess inulin does as well as type 2 diabetes. So the carbs shlould be limited to what the body's reqirements of the moment are because excess QUICKLY calls on insulin . The more refined the carb the faster it calls on insulin and the high fiber carbs like celery require more time in digestion and deliver their sugars slowly and steadily. The most refined you can get is sugar and Honey is sugar in disguise. All of this is not 100%.. While the body is burning glucose or glycogen if there is no fat supplied by the digestive track, a little bit of stored fat willl be burned but not only slight amounts. Proteins are not designed as fuels so that's another story not involved in this process. However, lack of fats or carbs, proteins can be burned but that does terrible things to your body ie. the late Dr. Atkin. rusty P.S. My favourite salad oil is: 3 parts EV Organic cold pressed olive oil [i cannnot claim this is raw]. 2 parts Udo's choice, blended flax oil, for the omega 3 etc. 2 part fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice. 1 Raw organic free range egg. ~~optional~~ 1 clove crushed fresh garlic. If you're budddist or wary of the garlic you can drop it. Use 2 Tablessoonful max per seving. rty - " Peter Gardiner " <petergardiner <rawfood > Wednesday, March 03, 2004 6:32 AM RE: [Raw Food] new book........... > Linda, > > I found your ingredients. > > Raw honey > Extra virgin olive oil > Cinnamon > sea salt > > I will leave raw honey aside as I cannot recall anything about that > > On page 41 he explains about olive oil and it goes straight into fat. > > Cinnamon is a herb and an irritant. > > Salt stings when you put it on a cut because it kills.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 ir·ri·ta·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-tshn) n. Pathology. A condition of inflammation, soreness, or irritability of a bodily organ or part. And if you let your taste buds be your guide and you're astutely honest about it, things like olive oil (other oils), cinnamon (and other herbs and condiments), and salt really don't taste good. They have a slightly stinging or irritating taste to them. It's easy to override this taste mentally and even think they taste good, but it's a deception. God made the things that are not suppose to taste good to the human animal, not taste good to the human animal. Could be part of why other animals don't eat everything under the sun.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Peter, I read dr fuhrman web site and he doesn't say if the salt was sea salt or table salt from the grocery store. I use the sea salt because of the information I found at this web site on sea salt. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/salt.htm I havn't had time to check on cinniam yet and will have to do some more research on that one. As for the honey i am convinced that honey does a body good. But after reading this article on bee pollen i might add bee pollen to the salad dressing http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/bee.htm Anyway any one out there use sea salt and have any negative effects on there health????????

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Nicolas, There is a body of medical opinion out there that says salt is bad news. Whether it comes from the sea or otherwise. There is enough salt in fruit and vegetables for our needs. When it comes to healing or cleaning an ulcer it is easy to see that it kills off infection. In the digestion it kills good and bad bacteria... etc. as do spices such as cinnamon. On honey, I suspect that it will cause a surge of insulin production...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thanks Margie.. Yep, really good. I know some folks are against using raw vinegar, and I went out and bought a bunch of lemons, but I just dont care for the lemons in salad, so I am going to go get some of the raw vinegar and see if it is okay for me. I also add Noma Shoyu (or something like that) cuz Juliano uses it in his RAW dressing, and I just cant resist Juliano, he is soooo cute, LOL.
