Wrangham is alone in his field. Few others believe that cooking translated to brain growth and development.

I knew this was going to get a rise out of some people which is why I didn't comment initially. I thought it would however get more than 2 comments after a day though. I was hoping for some comments with some well thought out comments though.

There IS some good info in that article too though:
"We're very bad at calorie-counting at the moment," Wrangham said. "Counting calories does not take into account the processibility of food."

Most people (I'm not talking raw foodists particularly) just count calories and not take into consideration what they are putting into their mouths. Also the additional energy needed to process raw foods and then the lower calorie content is probably one of several reasons so many people on a raw diet lose so much weight.

There was little supporting evidence for parts of the article however. Like where did they get this info:
"Half of all women eating exclusively raw foods become so thin that they stop menstruating, he said."

Are the numbers seriously that high? I know some people prefer to stop menstruating but is it really that healthy? If it is really half then how many is it on purpose (I think I saw someone say in a post that that was their goal) and how many is this just simple an unexpected result.

Just some thoughts...

I guess if an article is all roses and nice, the magazine wouldn't publish it. I really don't care for meat so that is a non issue.

And other studies show opposite of what this author was stating . ANd few details on those studies were given in the article.

I guess raw food is gaining popularity, the sensationalism which is mainstream media is catching up.

Angus, It may seem like a piddling point, but I think it's important that we don't call theories "laws". And thanks for the clarification on this one. ----tele
