raw foods: I just seen this show and they talked a little about how raw foods can actually cure humans and they are healthier in ways than cooked food. Is this really true, and if it is please provide evidence, proof of why it is.|||Cooking causes foods like fruits and vegetables to lose some of their nutritional value (vitamins, etc. ) The heat destroys many of the valuable nutrients, so yes, it is better for you to eat raw vegetables and fruits. Obviously meats are not a good idea (poultry, pork, beef), but some fish can be very lightly cooked or not at all if you like that. Anything processed (canned, in a box, etc) had a lot of additives to preserve the foods.|||Some raw vegetables are better for you than cooked because your not cooking away all the nutrients. Organic food is way better for you because they are grown and raised without chemicals and pesticides or other natural stuff. A good book to read is Natural Cures they don't want you to know about. by Kevin Trudueu. That probably can answer a lot of you questions.|||Look at Japanese, they like their sushi and they're like supreme beings. I love sushi and raw foods my immune system is a lot stronger then most people I know who dont touch the stuff. I haven't been sick since I was 5. I'm 23 now. Raw foods I believe keep natural vitamines and minerals in them oppose to cooking them out they may lose the majority of the nutrition they may provide. That's a thought. I have no 100% facts to prove it though.|||as long as the preperation of the raw foods is done correctly, it was shipped in a proper way as to reduce bacteria, and make sure you know exactly where it came from. just think about it, we used to eat raw foods all the time|||depends on what type of food, like raw broccoli is good because it prevents cancer ( vegetables 2) but meat is very very very bad when RAW! you can get sick and die from it ........|¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨…‡ ........|..........2 points ........|||"|""\__ ........|__________________|||_|___|)< ........!(@)'(@)""""**!(@)(@)****!(@)|||lyz_269, you have to be more specific when you say raw foods. Vegetables are a raw food, what category of raw are you talking about? Okay you have defined it a little further. As you know things like carrots, broccoli, cabbage, tomato etc etc you can eat raw, cooked processed. When you come to your Swiss chard, and other deep greens, best steamed to retain the nutrients, same with potato, parsnips and alike. So what I am saying to you they are okay both ways in essence. People have been eating raw and cooked for centuries, I'm still alive and I'm basically in the culinary industry. Now you have made your question more interesting. Chris|||no because they can give you food poison. and it could even kill you, if you eat alot of it though.|||Yes, it is like sushi and carpaccio and raw vegetables|||Would depend on what the raw/uncooked foods were, some can kill you rather than help you.|||no raw foods have tons of bacteria.|||NO raw food has bacteria in it|||OYSTERS ARE GOOD FOR SEX DRIVE!
