[[raw food & cooked food]]

People normally say that cook food is better than raw food.
The digestive process requires heat to break down and assimilate foods and liquids. If you eat a meal of, say, raw vegetables, even more digestive heat and energy is needed. Also, certain vegetables like carrot are hard and fibrous and require a lot of digestive power to break them down. If you have weak digestion or digestive problems, some raw foods may actually remain incompletely digested.

Enzymes are denatured during the process of cooking.Enzymes are delicate. Delicate because they are destroyed by temperatures over 118 degrees (some by as little as 105 degrees), which means that they may not survive even light steaming.


It is well-known that cooking may result in some vitamin and mineral losses. We try below to give an estimate of these losses. Not all vitamins are lost by heating; other factors (such as exposure to air or light) may result in vitamin loss; and heating by itself doesn't destroy minerals (however, some minerals may be leached in water). In short, we try to determine how much vitamins and minerals can be lost by heating a food.Cooked food passes through the digestive tract more slowly than raw food, tends to ferment, and throws poisons back into the body.

Science proves that cooking not only destroys nutrition and enzymes, but chemically changes foods from the substances needed for health into free-radicals and poisons that destroy our health!

Only raw food has functional "live" enzymes. Therefore the liver, pancreas, stomach and intestines must come to the rescue and furnish the requisite digestive enzymes to the individual nourished solely on a cooked food diet.


Dr. Westin A. Price, DDS, of Cleveland, Ohio, wondered about negative trends in dental cavities in the late 1930s. Dr. Price found that where original native diets were followed there was very little evidence of dental cavities. BUT, when modern white flour, white sugar, and canned foods were introduced, not only did dental cavities increase markedly, but the next generations of these people developed poor bites, restricted nasal breathing, cavities, and often other physical deformities


In nature all animals eat living foods as yielded up by Nature. Only humans cook their foods and only humans suffer widespread sicknesses and ailments. Those humans who eat mostly living foods are more alert, think clearer, sharper and more logically and become more active. Best of all, live food eaters become virtually sickness-free!
Cooking is a process of food destruction from the moment heat is applied to the foodstuff. Long before dry ashes results, food values are totally destroyed.
If you put your hand just for a moment into boiling water or on a hot stove, that should forever persuade you just how destructive heat is. Food is usually subjected to these destructive temperatures for perhaps half an hour or more. What was living substance becomes totally dead very rapidly with exposure to heat!


So therefore, raw food indeed better than cook food~
