Raw Vegan Diet Loved by Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore May Pose Health Risk: Expert

Vegetarianism and veganism have been gaining popularity, but the latest fad has people eating only raw plant foods that can be consumed without cooking. Some even won’t eat foods that have been processed or changed from their natural state, such as oat or almond milk.

Raw vegan diet enthusiasts claim that cooking vegetables causes a loss of nutrients and enzymes and believe that the diet will prevent or reverse disease, boost energy levels and improve overall health — but one expert warns this diet trend might actually cause more harm than good if followed for a long period of time.

“While following a plant-based diet can have many benefits for health, the raw vegan diet may potentially be taking things a bit too far and may come with even greater risks if not followed carefully,” Dr. Laura Brown, a registered nutritionist and senior lecturer in nutrition, food and health sciences at Teesside University, said.

What is with these nut jobs?! Even cavemen cooked and used their foods.

I don’t need to eat raw plants. The cow already ate them for me.

I love animals, but I know that we are OMNIVORES and need high quality protein from meat and dairy. Paltrow et al are friggin’ idiots.

Cooking causes the lose of bacteria, protozoa, viruses and other pathogens.

On a different note:
Why are there no cave drawings of vegetables?

BTW, vegan diet is actually quite bad too.
Human needs so called essential proteins, which are only in meats or milk.
Otherwise they will wither and get sick. Most of them know it so they consume some artificial protein supplements, probably made from some rendered meat!?

Enzymes are proteins. They are broken into amino acids in the digestive tract. That’s been known for at least a century.

So what “science” are they following?

There’s a place at the table for all of God’s creatures, somewhere between the biscuits and the mashed potatoes.
