Re: problems with teeth when on raw diet

There is a big difference between being Vegan and Vegetarian. A Vegan eats raw live foods in the form of fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables and herbs. The seeds and nuts should be live enough to sprout and the fruits and vegetables should be uncooked.

On the other hand a vegetarian has variations such as cooked vegetables, fried white rice, processed foods without without animal protein. A lacto vegetarian will eat cheese, yogurt and drink milk which may or may not be good for you. An ovo-lacto vegetarian will eat eggs as well as dairy products.

To answer your question, yes, I utilize dairy by putting heavy cream in my coffee. Cream is a complete protein, milk is not. The cream goes through the digestive system and breaks away from the water as with raw milk. Unless you have a dairy farm nearby your chances of getting raw milk are slim. Milk has been pasteurized but worse yet it has been homoginized and probably has bovine groth hormones (BGH)in it. Homoginized milk has the butterfat, cream, broken down to small enough particles that it can enter the blood stream and most likely clog your arteries. Search: homoginization+health.

I eat cheese also but prefer goat or sheep's cheese. I just limit myself and look to it as a treat. Look, I'll even eat a hot dog on occasion at an outing. Sorry for the animal but someone already ate the best part and I'll settle for the snout, tongue, eyes and testicals in the form of a hot dog.

Vegan, vegetarian are done for health and moral issues. Should you choose this lifestyle eat as much fruit, nuts, seeds and vegetables as you possibly can and then eat more. I'm up to 90+% but I'm not afraid of a hot dog every couple of years and when I dine with others I eat what they eat.

The whole process of cleaning or fouling your body takes time and I've spent the last 35 years flip-floping and prefer raw live food.
