Yes I think grains are a lot more damaging than most people think. Also if they were using torches for light that gave off smoke they could have been suseptible to lung cancer without smoking. Heart disease can be caused by low niacin levels and o...
hi guys,
I believe "the culprit" was a combination of factors. Not just heart disease, but obesity, diabetes, arthritis, and many other conditions existed -- but only among the upper classes. The diseases that we suffer from today were once calle...

Raw since July 2007. I have lost 50 pounds improved my eyesight, cured my chronic fatigue, improved my circulation, lowered my cholesterol, cured acute backache, don't snore anymore, don't get BO. My body is much more flexible, my skin is much softer, my memory has improved, my mind is sharper, from being extremely unfit I recently ran a half marathon and cycled 52 miles 1 week later. Why don't I eat cooked food? See above!

Aw bless you Chris you can come anyway seeing as you're a vip and a source of entertainment for us all! Kate Magic put her in touch with me via the wonders of facebook. I'm glad it didn't have a mental slant :)
OOoh thanks! Can't wait to make both recipes! I think I've accidentally come up with a fabby yoghurt recipe so will maybe bring that to next potluck along with the Haggis possibly ;) if I can get it right! Def onto Em or Paddy about the water! Nice tip ;)

Gosh- I don't know when I'm coming to your neck of the woods. We just bought a house and I started a new job recently, so I don't think we'll be traveling much for awhile- unless we can score some work across the pond or if my friend in London decided to get married! Can you help me get a grant to search for Nessie? ;-)

The smoke points are important for those people who are cooking with oils, but not those that are 100% raw foodists. Because I get many questions from those that are transtioning, I feel that it's important to answer some ot those questions also. ...

After I tried (three days in a row), the Raw Spaghettis at GRO, (my favorite local place in Portland ME), I ran home and ordered the tool that would allow me to make raw pasta and so many other dishes! The blades are very sharp, so be careful if y...
