I have a raw food dessert recipe for you today from Susan Schenck, the author of the 2-time award-winning book, The Live Food Factor, The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet. The recipe is for frozen fruit ice cream.

The best part is it only takes a few minutes to make if you keep a …read more

Did you know that today is “Reversing Diabetes Day?” Did you know that you could reverse diabetes? Well, here’s the thing, you really can’t.

I was so intrigued by our interview with Susan Schenck that I did some research and discovered that Carol Alt has been on a raw food diet for about 15 years. And if you’ve seen Carol Alt lately, she looks great! No way does she look close to 50 years old.
In reading an interview with Carol, I was surprised to …read more

What’s the number one thing people are surprised about when they learn more about a raw food diet?
People find it incomprehensible that cooked food is toxic. Not just processed food. (Most people know that is bad.) But even your standard baked potato has been found to have 400 toxic byproducts that result from cooking.
Research by Dr. Paul Kouchakoff (and later Dr. Howard Loomis) has proven that when you eat cooked …read more

This month’s issue of Domino (March 2008) has some fabulous raw food recipes that I am dying to try. But before I attempt to mix up some blueprint pudding or chocolate mousse made with only unprocessed and uncooked plant foods, I wondered what effect, if any, a raw food diet would have on my womb.
