Re: Raw versus Cooked Vegetables

[Guest guest]

I use that study in one of my presentations

My question remains though..

How does that lead to a conclusion that a 100% raw diet is best.

There are many studies showing powerful relationships associations but none of

them support a diet based soley on that association.

That's how some misrepresent the china study... Showing the less animal protein

the better doesn't mean a vegan diet is best.

Thanks

[ ] Raw versus Cooked Vegetables

" the majority of the studies included in this review show an inverse

association between both raw and cooked vegetables and cancer. For

each of the comparisons in Table 1, 88% showed a decreased risk of

cancer with raw vegetables and 85% with cooked vegetables (OR or RR <

1). More of the studies showed a statistically significant inverse

relationship with raw vegetables than with cooked. Of the analyses in

Table 2, 91% showed an inverse relationship between raw vegetable

intake and cancer, and almost two-thirds reached statistical

significance. Of the analyses of total vegetable intake, 92% showed an

inverse association, of which nearly half reached statistical

significance. These results are consistent with those of Steinmetz and

Potter (4), in which 85% of the studies they reviewed that examined

raw vegetables and cancer reported an inverse association. "

The study doesn't show 100% raw is better, I think it shows that

[lightly] cooked or raw they are pretty evenly matched. The general

conclusion i get is eat LOTS of veggies, RAW and COOKED, and eat them

often.
