Has anyone else heard this?

Let me be clear by saying that I do not believe being 100% raw is bad for you. I love it!! and advocate it!!! That being said I was wondering if anyone else has heard that eating too much raw is not good for you? I am asking because we were in the car listening to the radio and surfng the stations so I am not sure what station it was on. But I heard a women say that eating to much raw was not good for you. That was all I heard. Then my husband changed the station and now I am just curious as to what she was referring to. Anyone else hear this before? As I have already mentioned I can't see how it can be bad for you after all of the reading I have done. Just curious as to what they might have been talking about. Any ideas?

Breathing too much air is bad for you.

So is too much water :)
Just try to stick to the raw things that are easier to digest so as to not tax your system so much
ie a pound of nuts is takes way more energy than veggies or GS to digest

Yes, the doctor told my children not to eat ANY raw food,-"it's not good for you". We just laughed at him and went home to our beloved mangoes&pineapples :D

[jules88]

Did he give a reason as to why it wasn't good for them?

[freshlight]

Well, I would never take anything doctors(or most peeps) say about food seriously...sounds like you are not sure about the benefits of raw. He said it's indigestible

He said it's indigestible

Therefore a chunk of people on this forum should be dead.

[chessxcore]

do you think the person on the radio has actually been raw and found that the raw foods were indigestible? Or maybe he just heard it from someone else that heard it from someone else that got dumped by their raw foodist girlfriend lol

Heck yeah! It's true. IF YOU BELIEVE IT. That's the key. I guess for the author of this information it's better to eat Mickey D's everyday and deep fried twinkies, flame broil your greens, maybe throw in plenty of every kind of manufactured, genetically engineered, packaged food for good measure. :p

Too much of ANYthing is bad for you. Just hear the words "too much". Uh duh!

[jules88]

I'm NOT unsure of raw food!! I totally believe in it. I just couldn't figure out what someone would say was so unhealthy about it and was wondering if anyone else had heard others saying why it was unhealthy.

Yep. I've heard some silly stuff. My husband had suffered from stomach ulcers for years. His doctor told him that raw fruits and vegetables would worsen his condition. He was given a prescription that totally inhibited the creation of stomach acids...uhm...not good.

Anyway, he ended up changing to a natural "doctor" who advised him TO eat raw fruits and vegetables...guess what? His stomach started creating acids again and his reflux and ulcers are all gone!!

Holy God I didn't know where else to put this, but this thread. It seemed appropriate. :o Humans will eat just about anything -- I'm very grateful for my newfound awareness despite the naysayers, misunderstandings and nutritional/medical confusion.

Hi Revvell....are you meaning that the emphasis of what is bad would be on eating too much food?
