Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Pertinent to our discussion about high fat raw diets, here are a couple of quotes from an excellent interview with Dr. Graham which are available as a free download. You can listen to the audio and/or read the printed transcript. “Studying the various research that was out there, looking at the textbooks that were out there, looking at the private books that people had written -- responsible nutritionists and doctors from the vegan world and from outside the vegan world have written a huge number of books, and it turned out that all of them agreed on one point and one point only. In every other area they seem to have their own little perspective, you know, of this and that. But at one point they agreed, and that was that when your fat intake in terms of total calories exceed ten percent of calories consumed, predictable health decline ensues.” “And plant is different than animal, but it turned out that study after study kept confirming that it really didn’t matter whether it was cooked or raw, animal or plant. The kicker was when I started getting raw food clients coming to me who had heart attacks while they were on the raw food diet.” “. . . after interviewing about 5000 raw fooders, I feel pretty confortable in giving averages, and the average raw fooder consumes 65 to 70 percent of their calories from fat.” To download the interview, go to HYPERLINK " http://www.rawsummit.com/access/free " http://www.rawsummit.com/access/free and go to the Special Bonus interview with Dr. Graham on the right side of the page.
