I have seen some negative things. The most important thing to always

remember is that you have to eat the way that feels best for your

body and your psyche. No one else can tell you what feels good for

your body, what is " too much trouble " for you, what is " too extreme "

for you, etc.

 

I provide the data below only to answer your question, not to put

forth any view. Disclaimer <the contents of this website, blah,

blah, blah.... do not reflect the views of blah, blah blah <grin>

 

 

Here are a few example I found in search:

It takes too much time, effort and special equipment (planning,

dehydrator, sprouting, juicer, Vita-mix, etc).

OR

FROM /www.delawareonline.com

" But health experts like registered dietitian Marianne Carter view

the raw-food movement " as another contribution to the plethora of

fad diets " and say it " epitomizes the pendulum swinging too far to

the other side. "

 

OR THIS

FROM http://www.enchantedkitchens.com/cbs2_chicagomedicalnews

But, consider the tomato. Cancer and heart disease fighting

lycopenes are optimized when tomatoes are cooked. And there are

other issues that worry nutritionists.

 

Cooking is also a good way to kill germs. For example, raw sprouts

have been linked to several outbreaks of foodborne illness. Yet,

Dr. Linda van Horne says there's a place for raw food. " If it helps

people cut down on fat, salt and sugar...then it's an innovative

approach, " she said.

 

Chef Charlie Trotter agrees. " It's possible to have the raw food

approach as part of your diet...and not exclusively what you eat, "

said Trotter.

 

Charlie Trotter and others are convinced that raw food will become a

ever bigger part of our diet. Many of the recipes are delicious.

But, to go 100 percent raw food takes education about nutrition.

There are concerns about vitamin B, protein, and folic acid

deficiencies. Without cooking, some foods such as corn and potatoes

can't be digested, and you miss out on nutrients.
