Raw fruits and …
Raw fruits and veggies are amazing for us. Basing your diet on them brings you to another level of health, and can reverse disease. But, there are ways of cooking your food as to not completely destroy it and create toxins in the body. People lumping together all cooked food as poison are extremists. Lightly steamed veggies would be healthier than that pie he made which is like 80% fat and mixing fruit and fat together. Any cooking that produces a browning like frying is bad news for sure.
We also have the …
We also have the necessary digestive chemistry to digest raw meat. He overlooks this in light of his philosophy (beliefs). Any and all primitive and traditional cultures that experienced any level of authentic health and longevity consumed animal foods in some form. Some of the healthiest groups consumed large amounts of meat, primarily raw meat and observed incredible levels of health. Traditional Northern Inuit are a perfect example of this. I too eat 100% raw, without limiting animal foods.
the brother looks …
the brother looks like a walking advert for his philosophy. I think the point abt fire is debatable but the tropical point clings the argument. North Europeans have lived for good 50,000 years in a cold Neanderthal ambience and can not dominate this debate. “We are tropical people”, says the dread and our DNA and food knows this.
I love raw foods …
I love raw foods and I feel better whenever I eat them…I like to mix it up and have raw and cooked foods…It makes perfect sense that raw foods have far more nutrition that cooked foods have and it’s a fact that the body breaks down raw foods much faster than cooked foods…I say eat cooked foods, but balance it with a healthy dose of fresh raw food…Dr. Latham is a living testament to the wonders of raw foods…It’s not rocket science.
Oooh……. …
Oooh…….Subliminal message at 9:59,Jamaican Tourism,seriously? why should we eat food raw while he’s 61 and look like a walking carcas, smoke weed dude ?
If it was such a …
If it was such a mistake, why did we pretty much never look back, except for some small groups in the 70′s?
My point was that …
My point was that if he’s trying to push the point that eating raw food is so beneficial, he should give examples and scientific proof that it’s that much better for you than cooking food, instead of all this empty rhetoric.
your sure about …
your sure about that?
I can see why you removed your other comment. lol duh!!

the jam is just blended fruit not actual cooked sugar jam.

hilarious. i love it. move to Jamaica right on man! we should all be living it up troppo style.
well its a good …
well its a good thing nobody cares about your opinion. there’s about a million reasons why cooked food harms people. nutrient destruction, water loss, creates carcinogens, coagulates protein, creates ash that you can’t see which is carcinogenic, destroys amino acids, destroys fibre, loss of enzymes, loss of flavour. if you put raw food in the ground you’ll get a tree if you put cooked food in the ground you get mould.
but for millions of …
but for millions of years before we hadn’t. cooking food is a mistake in human history.
This guy is a …
This guy is a looney. Fossils show that we have used fire fore at LEAST 400,000 years.

I was a raw foodist for a year and a half – tons of benefits, porcelain skin, boundless energy, thin as a dime, but yeah, it was very expensive.
i feel like jian …
i feel like jian was a little easy on this guy..

cool man
He doesn’t explain …
He doesn’t explain how cooking harms people, nor gives examples of how “certain foods are anti-life.”
IMO raw foodism is just the latest yuppie fad.
The guy definitely …
The guy definitely knows his stuff!
Raw food i found …
Raw food i found was very expensive but in the end of the day it was the wisest thing i ever did
Edible art is by …
Edible art is by far my favourite type of art.
I’m pleasantly surprised this aired on CBC. Thanks for posting this video, I like to keep tabs on what’s being said about the raw diet and it was especially interesting to read everyone’s comments.
