		<description>@Sam

I do know from personal experience, witnessing people&#039;s eating habits that 1) we are what we eat, and 2) we will pay the price, depending what we eat.

I knew someone while working at a bank, who suddenly started eating a steak sandwich every single day for breakfast.  He&#039;d buy this steak sandwich daily from this local deli near work.  Nine months later, he died of a heart attack at the age of 38.

So, we definitely are what we eat. And what we don&#039;t eat.

Now, I can only speak from personal experience that, as a drummer at the age of 51, I am quite active and feeling healthier and more energetic while on a raw foods diet.

I don&#039;t know how one will feel if they try a raw foods diet.  But, I am able to help control my blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyeride levels when I am eating at least a &quot;high-raw&quot; diet.

Now also, when I was a heavy meat eater in the distance past.  I always had heartburn after eating meat, hamburgers, hotdogs.  Heartburn is non-existent in my raw vegan diet.

But as far as energy. I&#039;m totally sold on the fact that a raw vegan diet can boost energy levels.  To me that is a fact.  There just isn&#039;t enough research out there because our current collective social mindset doesn&#039;t allow that.  But using myself as a guinea pig and from personal experience.  My health has definitely improved whenever I went raw.  And quickly started feeling unhealthy during the once or twice that I went back to eating meat, and other cooked foods.

But we can only believe once we&#039;ve tried things out from personal experience.  Seeing and experiencing is believing.</description>

		<description>I hate to poo-poo, but can you provide ANY hard evidence (not anecdotal) to support the health based claims made above?

Such as:
Gain More Energy, Clarity and Focus
Look Younger Than Your Age
Clean and Detoxify The Body Naturally

Furhter, can you explain what the &#039;toxins&#039; are that are cleansed through this diet?

I am not trolling but honestly curious. It seems quite possible that a raw foods diet has great health benefits, but I haven&#039;t yet seen any proof of this outside of what would normally be expected of someone who stopped eating meat and started eating a lot more veggies.  Why &#039;Raw&#039;?</description>

		<description>I finally carved out some time where I could sit (undisturbed) and explore your new site. I LOVE IT, Carlos! Fabulous articles and beautiful design. I subscribed to your RSS feed so I don&#039;t miss a post.

I really enjoyed reading about your own journey into Raw Food Land over the course of several years. Very inspirational. Congratulations on reaching Day 60 of your 100% Raw 100 Day Challenge!</description>
