Hi all, the following I have send today to newstarget.com.
Following up some threads, it would be nice if this interview could be arranged

Hi Healthranger and others,
- First, thanks for your great information, it really makes a difference!
- Further: Lately I am quite active on the net searching for info about raw food. There is a big contradiction in this world between Dr Young(from the book : "the ph miracle") and Dr. Graham
(www.doctorgraham.cc).
The first believes in a low sugardiet (avoiding high sugar fruits, taking much vegetables) and quite some high quality fat-intake. Alkalizing the body is leading
The latter is famous for the 80/10/10 diet:
80% of the calories have to come from carbohydrates (the most from fruits, also the sweet ones), max 10% from proteines, and max. 10% from fats.
Now these 2 can't be right simultanously (see
the quote below, pharaphrasing Dr. Graham, when he says humans have a certain design and individuals can't eat foods from completely different categories)
*** My questions: Is it an idea to have an intervieuw on your site between these two people, just like you did with Andrew Weil and Gabriel Cousins?
- It would please a lot of people, we could refer to your website and to this interview from many rawfoodforums and it would help the rawfoodmovement and the healtmovement in general a lot.
Kind Regards, Marcel Ikelaar, the Netherlands

People ask me how the 80/10/10 diet can apply equally well to people of all ages, sizes, activity levels, etc. “Aren’t we all individuals, with different nutritional requirements and different bodily makeups?” they ask.
Despite all the hype about metabolic typing, I do not believe this ratio varies to any appreciable degree on the basis of our individual needs. (See the sidebar entitled “What about individual differences?” on page 242.)
Like high-performance race cars, the human body is designed to get its best results from a very specific fuel mixture. Think about it: can you find any example in nature of a mammalian species
whose individual members eat foods from completely different categories, based upon their blood type, their geographical location, their metabolic type, or any other factor? Can you imagine a “kapha” bear eating more fat than a “pitta” bear? Or a “fast-oxidizing”monkey avoiding bananas because they are too high in sugar? This is nonsense.
