I personally don’t believe in a 100% raw diet. I had been tracking my nutrients on nutritiondata.com. You wouldn’t believe what great vitamins and minerals I was getting. It’s the most complete I’ve been eating in my entire life…but you have to really struggle to get all your B vitamins - which mostly comes from meat, fish, etc.
So I’m “mostly” raw, meaning I try to eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables, but I do eat other stuff. The raw diet CAN be dangerous if people don’t pay attention to what they eat, plan, and track it if they decide to be 100%.
Also, especially with diabetes, food can be as powerful as drugs, so you have to pay attention to complication and drug interactions. That’s why I’m starting a site just for people with diabetes who want to add more raw - because on the other sites they get the message that all raw food is good and heals everything - and it doesn’t. You do have to be cautious. So, believe me I’m still realistic, but I really do see tremendous benefits adding lots of raw fruits and vegetables. I’ve seen thing from improved teeth and health to my blood pressure going back to normal.
