I have been hearing a lot about the "raw diet," a diet
in which you only eat raw vegetables, fruit and sprouts, and
drink only purified water. The people who eat this way claim that
they have more energy, feel better, and look better. I would like
to try this diet... but I don't know if it is completely safe and
healthy. What do you think?
Thanks,
Considering
Dear Considering,
Humans are the only animals to cook their food before eating it.
Some say that the superior nutrition afforded by cooking our food
is what has allowed our brains and bodies to develop the amazing
complexities that they have. Others think that the humans who
cooked their first meal 40,000 years ago took a step towards a
long fall from grace that eventually led to fast food, heart
disease, and related health concerns.
