Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 The comparison group eating the American Diet was matched to raw food group " according to age, sex and socioeconomic status " according to this article. They should have also matched by " weight " . I saw another report recently on this same finding which pointed out that the raw food group weighed less than the SAD group. Less weight equates to less bone mass. The body adjusts the bone mass according to the weight it must support. When the astronauts return from a long trip in the weightlessness of space they lose bone mass. When body builders lift weights they increase their bone mass. The bone mass is relative to the stress placed on the bones. I think this article missed that relationship and is struggling to find another answer.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Good point! This quote from the article suggests to my mind that many " health professionals " do not actually know what health or healthiness is. Ergo, their premises and biases contaminate their present specious conclusions. " I think over the long term, a strict raw food vegan diet could pose some health problems, " he says. " But it's not my role to tell them to eat differently. I'm simply interested in learning about the positive and/or detrimental health effects of this diet.
