Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 thumbs down, i have no problem eating my food right out of the refrigerator. i think my body can handle the breaking down of it cold. it's not so cold that my amazing machine the body can't handle it. i think any heating of food destroys some element of health of the food. i don't dehydrate, it looks like a form of cooking to me. it's the principal of the thing along with eating raw. i'm not going to do anything that simulates cooking or heating to me. now i'm not a scientist so i really have no idea what's best from that standpoint, i'm just going from my intuition of what's right and wrong. if it makes me happy, with no remorse afterwards, then it's right. if it (whatever it is, including eating raw) gives me a temporary high but then there's remorse or guilt afterwards, then it's wrong. and the only way to learn this lesson is to actually have failed at least once, lol. www.rawfoodeaters rich rawfood , " John L.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thank you John, What would a person do when preparing a salad? I normally prepare all ingredients fresh from the refrigerator and eat promptly. I was always taught that salads should not sit outside the fridge for more than 30 minutes in order to preserve freshness. In your estimation, is 30 minutes long enough to " warm " the salad to body temperature? Denise On 2/12/06, John L.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 what about if it takes me 30 min just to get it all ready, is that enough time? And does it really matter THAT much. I mean am I totally blowing it if I eat something cold? Is it not considered raw? All this talk about tempature is confusing me! LOL!!! HeLp! " John L.

But I would think in most instances that 30 min would be enough. What are the most popular cars? Find out at Autos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi Denise & Lunar, One very important factor that is commonly overlooked by raw-fooders is the fact that food should never be eaten cold. That is, that it should not be eaten directly from the refrigerator. For to do so is a good way to break down our digestion as when we eat food which is cold, we eat it when the enzymes have been de-activated, as well as de-activating our own enzymes. Food is always best eaten at or just above normal body temperature. In this way we gain the greatest benefit. John John L.
