More from the Dr. Graham talk

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

 

Tooth Decay:

 

Dr. D said that dried fruit, nuts and seeds are bad for your teeth. The

dried fruit can leave a residue on your teeth that attracts bacteria.

The bacteria eats this residue and actually poops on your teeth. This

creates an acid medium and this somehow attacks your teeth.

 

Eating too many nuts and seeds will make the PH of your mouth too acidic

and this will promote tooth decay as well.

 

Citrus fruit could be a problem as well. If you over do it on the citrus

it can wear away your tooth enamel. In moderation, it is fine.

 

Personally I recommend that you all remember to brush your teeth. Just

because you go raw does not mean you should stop your oral hygiene

habits. I was reminded of this by a friend after our raw food meeting

last night and totally agree.

 

Hybridization:

 

Anything that anyone has ever eaten has been hybridized. This is a

natural process in nature. I suppose it happens with all the

cross-pollination. Doug did address the fact that fruit nowadays has a

higher sugar and lower mineral content than before. He said that the

change was not a dramatic increase in sugar.

 

To deal with this lower mineral content he recommends we eat many

mineral rich veggies. He recommends that between 2 and 3% of your daily

caloric intake come from vegetables, to make up for the lack of minerals

in fruit. He mentioned that it is very hard for anyone to get more than

5% of their calories from green leafy vegetables. Most vegetables are

simply too low in calories to be relied upon to provide your needs for

carbohydrates.

 

Personally I’ve found that people who don’t eat a lot of fruit, tend to

eat a lot of fat. Also some eat lots of fruit and lots of fat. I’ve been

checking with the raw foodists I know to get a feeling of what they eat

in a typical day. Dr. D is right that most of them consume around 60% of

their calories from fat.
