RAW FOOD DIETS POSE HEALTH RISK -env

Source: Vegetarian Journal

Summary:

Raw food diets are composed mainly or exclusively of unheated foods, mostly fruits and vegetables

A study of over 500 German adults, published in Annals of Nutrition Metabolism, showed this diet led to a large, potentially harmful, decrease in body weight

Almost 1 of 3 women under 45 in the study had partial to complete amenorrhea

Conclusion:
Researchers did not recommend this diet containing more than 90% raw food because of risk of amenorrhea and excessive weight loss

Comment:
No, this is not a good way to get rid of those extra pounds.
