[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The theory is that heating food above 180 degrees kills all of the nutrients. Most people who eat a raw diet are vegan. A big treat is cashew butter, cocoa nibs, tangerines, kimchee, etc. Juicing can be a big component. [/quote] I have a friend who's a raw foodist. His big thing is about how you kill the [b]enzymes[/b] by heating things over whatever temperature. Slightly different than nutrients, as pp mentions above. He isn't 100% raw (and I think most proponents aren't either) and eats things like bread. And dairy is fine as long as it has been cultured (as in yogurt) or aged (as in many cheeses), as those things have living enzymes. Soaked nuts, soured veggies (like saurkraut), avocados, cheese, soaked flax seeds, unpasturized beer, wine, etc. All good, but personally, I think cooking is pretty cool too. [/quote]
