RE: Fat/fruit/cancer questions [s]

[Guest guest]

Here is a very brief and oversimplified response, I will provide much more

in the next couple of days.

 

High-water --> low fat

Low-water --> high fat OR high starch (as grains), neither of which is good

for us.

 

Omega 3 is not a problem, it is only a marketing program. These studies are

company-sponsored or instigated. In any event, single-nutrient thinking

will not lead to health.

 

Oil is fractional food, eat whole foods. Eat olives, not olive oil, for

example. Seeds are largely indigestible in our systems, they are Nature's

food for birds. Their gullets offer a natural sprouting chamber in which the

seeds may germinate before proceeding on to the gizzard. We, however, have a

gullet deficiency.

 

I am not aware of a single study that suggests fruit as a cause of cancer.

However, this is not sufficient information upon which to proceed with any

course of action.

 

More later,

[Raw Food] Fat/fruit/cancer questions

 

 

 

E~

So raw vegans are eating too much fat . . . (that would be me!)

can you explain where/what/when you have fat in your diet?

I am wondering esp. about recent news that we are lacking in omega 3, and I

have been using flax oil/hemp oil on my salad to compensate.

Can you elaborate on how you use fat in your diet?

Also:

I have a relative who is on the Hallelujah Acres diet while fighting

cancer--

this diet is primarily raw, however, those with cancer are discouraged from

using much (if any?) fruit in the beginning.

What are your thoughts on cancer & fruit?

thanks so much--

Leslie
