I have a few questions!

Hi guys!!!

Some questions have been coming up in my mind after over a month of 100% raw.

1st. I've started recently to prepare uses (in addition of the smoothies) I'm accumulating an insane amount of pulp. I know there is something to do with it, but what??
The pulp is from oranges, spinach, watermelon, peaches, beets, carrots and apples.


2nd. This is regarding nutrition. Are fatty acids the same as cholesterol? In other words, are fatty acids good cholesterol? I know we need cholesterol to live, but I do not know where I'm taking it. I guess I should be taking it because I've been 1 month 100% raw and 1 year vegan, and I did not eat cholesterol since then. I just want to know because this bothers me a lot!!! I get a daily green smoothie with several greens, fruits, wheatgrass, spirulina, cocoa, raw agave nectar, goji berries, sprouted lentils, water, flax seeds. For lunch well.. diferent raw dishes. And for dinner the same. Combining all kind of raw nuts, greens, veggies, fruits, seeds and I always eat a daily avocado.

3rd. Nutrition as well... Everybody is concerned about B12. I'm sure I'm obtaining it but I want to make sure. I'm taking no supplements, just the green powders mentioned above on the smoothie. Do I really need B12? If so, is there B12 powder?



Thanks a lot!

The excess pulp can be dehydrated added to flax or whatever you are using to to make breads.

B-12 is necessary and I discovered today that you can buy a B-12 patch so you get it without having to worry about taking pills or getting enough in your foods.

I don't remember the othe question and am unable to get back to it without losing what I have typed here.

Fatty Acids are not cholesterol! Cholesterol comes from our bodies or from meat! We don't need to incorporate any additional so far as I am aware. If it doesn't breathe it doesn't make cholesterol! Essential Fatty acids are necessary for health!

Some advice from the long-term rawbies. In that post I gave my schpeel about essential fatty acids. Hope it helps you as well.

Thanks!!!


However, how about the B12?

You can also freeze the left over pulp and use it in smoothies.

I've been wondering the same thing about B-12. What raw vegan foods can you get usable B-12 from?? Someone said that sea veggies do not contain "usable B-12," so what food does??!!
