This is one reason why we must chew raw food very thoroughly. I think 30 chews was recommended by Fletcher. Pottinger did extensive experiments with cats. In one study he feed one group 100% cooked meat and milk, another 75% cooked meat and milk, and the third group 50% raw meat and milk. By the second generation the first cats were almost sterile, the second group had unhealthy kittens and by the third generation was sterile. The 1/2 raw food group was reproducing successfully into the 8th generation when the experiment was ended. They had been kept in raised cages with screening on the bottom so waste fell to the ground. The cages were removed, but a year later the ground under the first group was sterile, the 2nd batch grew a few puny weeds, but the third ground area had a rich growth of greenery.

Consequently, I try to eat about half of my food raw, and chew it thoroughly. Pasturized milk is cooked milk, but yogurt with live cultures is raw. When doing nutrition teaching, I recommend eating about 1/2 raw food. I have recently started drinking Kefir in addition to eating yogurt to improve my gut flora. I also believe we should test GMO foods in a manner similar to the cat study I described. Otherwise we have no valid answer to whether GMO food is or is not safe for large, long term consumption.

We are not cats and the study was garbage.

You can chew your food all you like you are still not breaking down the cell walls needed to get the nutrition you would if you cooked your food.

Lucky for you the era you live in is able to provide you with copious amounts of calories, nutrients and supplements so you amuse yourself by spending your time moving your jaw around.

I will not convince you otherwise and have no inclination to try.
