Not considering myself as a skeptic….I have recently begun to be sceptical of most of the raw dogma. Listening to my own body and encouraging clients to listen to their own.

Ruling out the made up stuff, sorting it from the facts and what is real.

Also the commercialism of raw (the extremist level).

how did Jack Lalaine live so well using lower grade juicer and not buying any of the(super high doller)superfoods that seam to be discovered by the day? Did he even B-12 supplement?

I liked your show today. I only juice, no smoothies. I have the Green Kempo/Samson juicer & I love it. I drink my juice 24-48 hrs after juicing, and it tastes great. I’m not sure how much nutrients are still left, but it doesn’t taste acidic, so that’s a good sign. I juice because I have problems digesting just about everything, especially fiber. I get colonics on a regular basis & have been since 2001. They are awesome for someone like me who has to take medication for chronic pain. I do not follow a raw diet right now, just trying to heal my body by juicing every day. I juice carrots from time to time & do not have any adverse reactions with blood sugar. I’m not too sure about which superfoods is best. I use Amazing Grass & it definitely gives me a lot of energy. I don’t put it in my juice, I take it either in capsules, or drink the cacao blend & mix it with Hemp Milk. It’s yummy that way.

Anyway, I have blog posts on most of the subjects discussed in today’s show & comments, like food combining, juicing vs. blending, & the green kempo juicer — just in case anyone wants to read and then share their comments. I’d love to hear what you think. http://juicinghealthy.com

I am skeptical of veganism, I think it is ethically right, but it doesn’t make much sense from an evolutionary standpoint – even the great apes eat meat – and they have a 40% larger digestive system (according to Loren Cordain) than we do, apparently because they consume more fiber than us, meaning we ’should’ probably eat more meat (which does not contain fiber) than them.
Other arguments for eating meat –
eyes in front
canines
B12

I am also curious about whether sea vegetables are toxic. I think they would be INCREDIBLE sources of many vitamins/minerals etc and I love raw nori, dulse etc, but doesn’t common sense suggest that since our oceans are toxic, that vegetables grown in the sea are going to be too?

Kevin and anyone else, I’d love your perspectives…does any company test their sea veggies for toxins?

cheers

I have a champion juicer and I love it. I bought it in 1987. Used it a lot at first, then it sat idle a long time. I dusted it off in December 07. By August 08 I hit a combination I really like and I’ve been using it every day since, often twice and sometimes three times daily. I needed some new parts last month, and I was able to get them.

As for being skeptical, I’m skeptical of any promise that any political candidate makes, and nowadays, I’m skeptical of any nutritional advice that comes from the USDA or the FDA.

I’m skeptical about all of the things mentioned above, especially the bias of the news media and the bombardment of advertising on the general public. Many public school educated people don’t learn to think for themselves, you can’t say “it worked for my grandparents” any more, it is a new world and we are forced to try new things that may or may not work for us.
Besides, new things are fun to learn, no matter how old you get!
