I am almost 77 and have gotten SO lazy about cooking that I spend whole weeks eating nothing but candy, cookies, and ice cream when I feel hungry!! NO JOKE!! I take a lot of vitamins, but eat nothin but sugar!! Sometimes I will drive myself to Dairy Queen for an ice cream supper!! This has to stop!! I take better care of my dog than i do myself. SOOO, I am deciding to make an effort. (Yeah!) I bought a lot of raw vegetables and chew on them while watching TV. After reading your posting about raw food, I realize I have to hall out the pots and pans and start Cooking!! I am ready to FOCUS on food!
Somehow I have been “blessed” with great health! But it is not going to last if I keep up with this diet!! I have a great chiropractor who takes time to talk about diet. But I don’t seem to want to actually listen!! Do you have any ideas for me to get moving on this ?

Thank you SO much for this information!!! These things (iron, calcium, iodine, folate etc.) are things we are supplementing but it looks like we don’t need to buy supplements – just cook these vegetables and enjoy! I am so grateful to know this now.
Thank you again!

I have heard before that the BODY ABSORBS more ‘Sulfur’ from Broccoli when it is cooked or Steamed for 5 minutes, can you confirm this. I viewed a number of ‘sprouting seeds videos’ that promoted this idea and the people were steaming for a few minutes, even their baby sprouts. INTERESTING. I have gotten into cooking it a little because I ain’t as young as I used to be and I cannot ‘digest RAW Broccoli anymore. MY THEORY is to,… in REFERENCE to MY ABILITY to DIGEST foods …. i SOAK what NEEDS to be SOAKED (for DIGESTION); COOK, ONLY that which NEEDS to be COOKED; ADD that which NEEDS to be STEAMED briefly at the END; turn OFF the HEAT and ADD the REST RAW, which can be DIGESTED RAW easily.. with GARLIC, chop and DRY it for a minute and ADD it in for FLAVOR.and I usually begin the MEAL with RAW FOODS. and NUTS and or UNLEAVENED CARROT BREAD. …This ARTICLE here was INTERESTING to THINK ABOUT. ME THINKS. THANKS.

interesting article, of course you would not be able to cover all vegetables. But what are the dangers of eating raw potato, I know most people do cook their potatoes, as it is really unpalatable eating them raw. Would you comment on what nutrients are better absorbed when we cook the potato, or what harmful enzymes are deactivated by cooking them. Fruits are usually eaten raw, or are their some fruits that we should cook?
