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

Quote:


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.

I like the last quote at the bottom. It makes SO much sense! Kind of like when SAD people say "i could never do that! It isn't for everyone..." well technically it is haha, but I can see how mentally they're not ready yet.

Yes, luck should be for everyone, but due to ourselves sometimes it grows
somewhere else. :eek:

Well, now I am busy anyway I am also gonna ask Dr Graham to get into
discussion with Dr Young, like to finish this . Due to their positions they have a kind of obligation,just like the main politicians to make clear their objections
to eachother. :D

The following I have send to the eventsmanager of Dr Graham,
I hope this is normal to do, and that I am not using the famous Dutch big mouth. :D
I don't know the us habits, and I don't know if these people can be approached

Lightlover, this was a direct quote from the book by Dr Draham, not me paraphrasing anything. ;) Just thought I would clarify this.

From what I've read, bears do vary in their diets, some eating more meat than others. Geographical location certainly makes a difference in what foods people eat; Inuit do not eat tropical fruit, nor Brazilians reindeer livers. And my diet is different in summer than in winter.

Yes, but you do not get some bears eating meat and others being vegan.

I agree. You can't compare humans with animals.
It is not possible for the Inuit to eat the 80/10/10 diet, isn't it?
