The raw foods diet is exactly what it appears to be
a diet in which you eat only foods that can be consumed raw
or after minimal heating. On the plus side is the fact that
it provides plenty of fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts,
all of which should be part of any healthy diet. You also
get plenty of fiber and no processed food. And, because you
dont eat animal foods meat, fish, or poultry
you avoid the contaminants they may contain. Another
advantage: theres little danger that youll consume
too much protein or fat or the wrong kind of fat.
However, Im not a proponent of the raw foods diet.
First of all, when you eat everything raw, you lose much of
the best flavor, texture and appearance of food. More importantly,
however, is the fact that many of the vitamins and minerals
found in vegetables are less bioavailable when you eat these
foods raw than when theyre cooked. For example, you
can get lycopene, the carotenoid pigment that protects against
prostate cancer, only from cooked tomatoes, not from raw ones.
The carotenoids in carrots are more bioavailable from cooked
carrots than they are from raw ones.
Another disadvantage stems from the fact that many of the
natural toxins in edible roots, seeds, stems and leaves are
destroyed by cooking. Alfalfa sprouts contain canavanine,
a natural toxin that can harm the immune system; button mushrooms
contain natural carcinogens, and celery produces psoralens,
compounds that sensitize the skin to the harmful effects of
ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. All of these are broken
down by simple cooking. Although our bodies have natural defenses
against these toxins, a raw food diet can

add to the toxic load were already dealing with.
The latest word on raw food diets comes from a new study
which shows that vegetarians who eat only raw foods have abnormally
low bone mass, a sign that they may be vulnerable to osteoporosis.
The study, published in the March 28, 2005 issue of the Archives
of Internal Medicine, found that other markers for bone health
among the raw foods group were normal. However, the intake
of calcium and vitamin D was very low (only 579 mg per day
of calcium and 16 units of vitamin D) among those on the raw
foods diet compared to 1,093 mg of calcium and 348 units of
vitamin D among a control group that ate a typical
