MH There was no written message on your posting restrep throat.

I dont understand why fruit is better than vegetable. Can anyone help answer this one for me? I read all over curezone to reduce fruit and increase vegetable consumption.
Thanks

My apologies if I misread. Statements like this: "engineered by man" usually imply unnatural or something negative.

I would think that perhaps juicing vegetables might be better for mineral extraction and assimilation than slightly cooking them?

You stated: "organic minerals in the vegetables are too large for the body to process". Hence, I was not interested in the studies on human mineral absorbtion, but more in why/how the minerals are too large from a short growth cycle. What exactly is going on there I wonder.

Thanks,

I could see where there would be confusion with the term engineering, genetic engineering being a far different science from creating a hybrid through cross pollination though.

Provided the heat does not go above 110 degrees and the vegetable is not cooked too long, the chemical make up of the vegetable would not change that much, only be partially broken down so that you can get whatever the value the item has to offer. You could argue that cooking kills the enzymes but that the mineral content remains, it is debated. However, if you have not eaten the vegetable in 7 minutes after picking, there are little enzymes in it anyway.

I am not sure what juicing does to organic minerals, I would assume they would remain intact as you need a chemical reaction to begin the breakdown.

Vegetable growth is hasty by natures standards. Take up food and water fast, grow fast, no time to perfect the internal structure, just grow. The longer a vegetable stays on the vine, the sweeter it is, the more ripe it is, the more color it has, etc. For fruit, is is different, the growth is slow, a year for most fruit to fully ripen. I would liken the large organic mineral growth in vegetables to baking a cake. If you stir the cake batter for a long time, it bakes fine and evenly with very tiny air holes. If you just whip it together fast, it bakes with large airholes and unevenly. That's my best regurgitation of information without finding it and re-reading the data for a more specific answer. I read it and applied it as fact and discarded the data behind the fact.


Cheers!

Thanks for the explanations. They were very good.

BTW, 1970 was a good year for me too. I also like the character "Rabbit" the best. ;-)

hmmmm, they're all good- I would also say OREGANO OIL!! since it kills just about any bad bug.

Then raw Garlic too- but that's probably not an herb. :-D

Will the real strep throat cure herb please stand up?
