My Research Regarding Raw Garlic/was Good or Bad?

[Guest guest]

I can agree with Shari. Besides, it holds common sense to regard garlic as

mostly a toxin in the body because of the obvious eliminative process - it is

very a very potent herb, again, one that one cannot make a meal out of!

And especially if there is only " one " study about it threatening the myelin

sheath around our brain cells, I would rather be safe than sorry.

I do love garlic, but my consumption has gone from everyday to once in the last

40+ days. And it still tasted great. But it will not be " 2 cloves per day of raw

garlic cut into 1/8 " slices and dropped into soup or meat dishes " after " the

cooking is done. " Not even on raw food.

Oh please. Raw garlic (even more than cooked garlic) has hundreds of

studies backing up its healthful benefits (such as its anti-cancer

benefits... oh, but wait, we don't like " ANTI " anything?) and you

want to talk about one study that has it damaging your myelin

sheaths?

 

TOXIN? Huh? On your planet perhaps.

 

I have to say, if there's anything I dislike about this group, it is

that tendency. No matter how wonderful a food is, someone will speak

up telling you no no, it's BAD, and the newbies will believe it!

What, are we all going to eat nothing but spinach and bananas for

the rest of our lives. Oh, but wait! Spinach has waaaay too much

oxalic acid... Kidney stones galore. Just bananas then?

 

Raw garlic: Extremely good. Eat, eat, eat!

Sheesh, Kristen chill out. Maybe you need to cut back on how much garlic you

eat if it makes you so upset.

Peace,

 

I am new to the group and the raw food lifestyle. I appreciate these words as I

am seeking balance as I integrate the raw food way of eating into my diet. THe

last thing I want is a list of shoulds and shouldn'ts as I try to figure this

out. I seek to be an intuitive eater rather base what I eat on something

outside of myself. Thank you, again.

 

Peace

Hey Kristen, thats a positive part of this group, Both sides of a debate

can be presented and heard, and in the end , you have to go with what

sounds logical, and use your own Intuition, thats all anyone can ever ask

really, and do the best you can as you grow and learn, but its always

advantageous in my opinion to get Both sides, let each side present its best

scenario, and than make up your own mind.

Tyra,

I agree with you as I have taken on a huge journey to be raw. I am one who is

still reading juliano and cornbleet. i like hearing about the monodiet but I am

not there yet

If i was not supposed to be here then I would not be

I ask questions : is oil considered raw i would not think so but many raw

foodists use it in their recipes. same with braggs/ vs nama shoyu / vs salt /vs

nada

i came here to learn , it seems some here want a list where everyone is at the

same point intelectually and spiritually as in raw spiriutality .

i have had a great learning experience and hope it continues but the

snarkiness of some comments seems that maybe newbies should leave
