Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 I agree that raw foods is in a way the next step, but not everyone needs to take it. A fruitarian way of eating is the least cruel- you don't even have to kill the plant to eat. I've always felt much better and healthier when I eat like that, though I am not hard on myself when I don't do it to a tee. I think a fruitarian/raw way of eating can also be helpful for people fighting diseases. So if your not up for it when your healthy, it's something to consider if you don't feel well or are fighting something bigger.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 I am very interested in moving closer to fruitarianism, but I'm cautious in terms of nutrition. I have read in several credibly-authored books that adequate nutrition is possible and tend to belive that it can be based on those authors opinions/knowledge. Are there any books of fruit nutrition out there? JonJ btw, my site I reaesrched on how to make diets more peaceful http://home.talkcity.com/DharmaDr/peacefreed/morepeacefuldiet.html (gotta add some descriptive pictures to break up the monotomy of the text!) - Emma Tuesday, June 11, 2002 10:36 AM Re: raw foods I agree that raw foods is in a way the next step, but not everyone needs to take it.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hi Ian, B12 is definitely something to watch for. You can get it from a raw diet that includes things like dulse and seaweeds. If you're healthy, the body will recycle it's b12 for about 20 years. It's produced in small amounts in your intestines. If you take anitbiotics, it will wipe out those bacteria that make it and you'll loose out on some of that for awhile, so you have to be careful. Some people do have problems with retention though and sometimes absorption. But a raw food diet can be done healthily, you just have to be aware of how you feel and what you're doing.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Hi Jon, I tried to take a look at your website but it said unfortunately it's not available for about a week. I look forward to reading it! With regards to fruit nutrition, there's a small primer on fruitarianism and health in general that you might want to check out. It's only $5 and you can order it at www.TanglewoodWellnessCenter.com. It's good information and the author will be working on a more detailed piece about fruitarianism. He's been raw for 10 years and runs a fasting and education center. I fasted there a year and a half ago and wanted to learn more so I worked there for awhile. It's hard to find good info on fruitarianism, but this primer "The Essentials" is good.
