Hi, Sandy!

[Guest guest]

Good morning,

I'll try to answer your questions, though someone else can probably do

it better.

 

1. Most dehydrators are pretty quiet. Mine produces very little noise.

If there is much at all, it's " white " noise. The fans aren't huge and

they turn only fast enough to circulate the air through the trays.

 

2. I use my recipes as " treats " and not part of my usual daily fare.

Winter is when I eat them more than any other time, too, because there

aren't as many yummy fresh fruits and veggies around. I was once on a

80% carb, 10% fat, 10% protein cooked food diet (and felt better than

I did on any other cooked food) so the 811rv was a natural raw food

diet for me. My daughter and her husband went on the high fat raw food

diet and were unable to maintain it for much more than a month. I'm

almost nine months now--long enough to have carried a baby to term! I

started out looking like I could be a pregnant old lady but no more!

There are some low-fat recipe books out there if you look for them. I

have a few low-fat recipes on my blog, though I'll have to admit that

most of the ones I've posted are high-fat. The private forum I belong

to has a recipe section that has a lot of low-fat ones.

 

3. I couldn't find anything scientific to answer your question but I

did find this>> http://www.jonbarron.org/documents/brenzymes.htm. It's

interesting even if it isn't followed by a lot of footnotes.

 

Welcome and I think you'll find your time here thought-provoking.
