Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Hi Gail: Welcome to the group! I have nothing against a raw food approach however we just don't know what we might be missing if we adapt ANY one approach to eating. For example, lycopene from tomatoes is best absorbed from the cooked tomato with a bit of fat (such as tomato sauce). This is a fairly recent discovery and there could be other such discoveries coming down the pike; who knows?. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant known to inhibit some cancers. So variety in one's eating is the best policy IMHO, otherwise as with lycopent, it's possible to miss an important nutrient. on 10/21/2002 12:09 AM, GAIL MCDONALD at zorkzoom@... wrote: Also, I am curious what you (and others) think about the > whole raw food approach to eating.
