Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Is there anyone out there that is seeing health problems clear up eating nothing but raw that DOES drink coffee with creamer? This is the only thing I miss, and would like to know if I can drink coffee and still be healthy? Carson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Carson, I miss coffee, too, almost to the point of overlooking the fact that it’s a roasted beverage. Unfortunately, there are just too many health risks associated with coffee and caffeine in general. Some minor potential side effects are: jumpiness, heart palpitations, stomach irritation, diarrhea and disturbed sleep. Also, a number of studies have connected caffeine to some fairly serious health problems, such as fibrocystic breast disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, and some forms of cancer. I tried decaf, but it still contains some caffeine so I gave that up as well. However, my one non-raw vice are herb teas. I know, I know, not 100% raw, but I delude myself by saying that my water gets no hotter than a dehydrator lol Please don’t shoot the messenger, Krisztina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hi Carson, Since I am fruitarian I cannot drink nor coffee nor alcohol, they are too strong for me just when I look at them. So there is nothing to miss for me. However, if you miss coffee so much, do not worry about it so much. You do not need to play the plays of beeing 100%. On the other side, of course you can be 100% if you really want. It is all just upon you. Be just free and decide as you wish. Our body needs some time to leave our addictions and our tastes are constantly changing so after some time you probably will not miss it anymore. I had the same with chocolate, Katarina rawfood , " Carson " <carsonlovessteve> wrote: > Is there anyone out there that is seeing health problems clear up > eating nothing but raw that DOES drink coffee with creamer?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 carson, i started raw - as much as i can at this time - back at the beginning of the year - i've seen changes in skin, mood, overall well being, weight loss, energy level. . . . . i drink coffee everyday (black) and i eat cooked fish - so i would say that i see/feel a difference - i suggest that you try it and see how you do with it? if you really miss it that much then you may feel worse not having it vs. having it ) -birte Is there anyone out there that is seeing health problems clear up eating nothing but raw that DOES drink coffee with creamer? This is the only thing I miss, and would like to know if I can drink coffee and still be healthy? Carson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 If I wasn't raw, one of the first things I would go to would be coffee. Nothing better on the SAD diet than that stuff.
