RE: Chilling food, normal body temperature [s]

March 19, 2005

Our bodies never " crave cold, " that is a misreading of something else.

Chilling food kills the taste of a food. If our taste buds are damaged, or

if the food/water simply doesn't taste good, then chilling can make the

problem " go away. " This is why people drink white wine chilled: at room

temperature, the stuff usually tastes terrible.

We do not drink to regulate our temperature directly, though we do use water

to regulate our temperature. But ANYTHING we eat or drink MUST be brought to

" body temperature " in order to be used. So the farther the food is from body

temperature, the more work the body must do to " normalize " the temperature

of the food.

Also, 98.6 degrees F (in the US, 98.4 in the UK!!!), which is considered

" normal " human body temperature, is only normal in a sick society that has

been eating cooked for centuries. These numbers are merely statistical

" norms " based upon testing the existing population.

Though available data is very limited, there are clear indications that our

species' actual biological normal temperature is actually somewhere in the

range 93-96 degrees F (roughly 34-35 degrees C).

Best to all,

Re: [Raw Food] slipping...slipping...

Hi Gypsi,

have you tired putting a bottle of water in the fridge and drinking

that? Sometimes our bodies crave cold and out of the tap just isn't

cold enough. I might be the cold of the soft drink your body is

craving as we also drink to regulate our temprature (says the woman

that would be leagelly dead from her temprature.) When all else fails

try the silly things?

Love and kisses,

Lu
