Comments on: 10 Health Myths Debunked http://houseofverona.com/10-health-myths-debunked/ Natural Health Retreat / Raw Food Retreat, Blue Mountain, Ontario, Canada Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:24:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Sophie http://houseofverona.com/10-health-myths-debunked/comment-page-1/#comment-8327 Sophie Sun, 13 Mar 2011 16:22:47 +0000 http://houseofverona.com/?p=1456#comment-8327 You may want to have a look at http://rawfoodsos.com/2010/07/07/the-china-study-fact-or-fallac/. Denise Minger has done an excellent job of looking at the original data and claims of this (inherently flawed) study. The conclusions are in many cases not supported by the data and to use this study to back up a raw food diet places this belief system in a precarious position for sure. While I'm at it, I have a 'beef' with David Wolfe. He claims that the Inuit were plagued with dental problems and chronic disease on their traditional diet of meat and fat. This is simply not the case. The Inuit currently has high rates of these diseases due to the adoption of the SAD (Standard American Diet-junk) in their communities and the disintegration of their traditional communities. This kind of sloppy research leaves people open to criticism. If 100% raw was a 'natural' diet, then why do you need B12 supplementation? How did our ancestors manage to get those injections I wonder. Although I certainly incorporate raw food in my diet and enjoy many raw food cookbooks, I also think that extremism based on dogma is not helpful to anyone. One of my favourite and well researched books on diet and nutrition is Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions. BTW, Your retreat centre looks beautiful!
