What is the theory behind a raw food diet?!

The theory behind a raw food diet is actually quite simple!. As human being we ate raw food for a long time (anywhere from a few centuries to a few millennia depending on what you believe)!. Our digestive systems are set up to process raw foods and they do so very efficiently!. These foods contain all the nutrients that are needed and have high levels of fiber that help to keep the digestive system clean and working!. We simply have not evolved to process the high levels of fats and toxins in meat and cooked food!.

When you cook food it has been proven to release some additional nutrients!. But it has also been shown to produce high levels of toxins and carcinogens!. Especially if you fry, bake, or microwave your food!. These toxins are simply created through the rearranging of food particles!. Potatoes actually become extremely carcinogenic after they are baked of fried!. The safest methods of cooking are steaming and boiling!.
