Raw Food Nutrients
Many
people are eating diets that are based on vegetables,
fruits, and grains, and include modest amounts
of meat, seafood, fowl, eggs and perhaps some
raw dairy. Such natural foods diets seem reasonable
enough, and fit well with the concept, promoted
by many popular politically correct articles
and books, that our ancestors ate a diet that
was low in fat and moderate in animal protein,
and had lots of fiber. Such a dietary approach
certainly beats scotch, pasta and cheesecake,
and many people feel considerably better when
adopting it.
But it is
not a diet that is built to last, because the
centerpiece of a truly healthy diet must be
animal foods. That means a substantial portion
of meat, seafood, fowl, eggs or raw dairy at
just about every meal. That is how one recovers
from vegetarianism and builds lasting health
and strength.
It is not necessary to eat a lot of meat in
such a regime, or any at all for that matter,
if grassfed raw dairy is used liberally. In
fact, because things go best when a large part
of the animal fat and protein is consumed raw,
grassfed raw dairy is especially important for
those who do not eat raw or undercooked meat.
Dr. Price’s
work makes it abundantly clear that indigenous
people everywhere emphasized the consumption
of raw or undercooked animal foods. Such food
is nearly or completely lacking in most diets
today. Along with the fat-soluble activators,
raw fat and protein are in my opinion essential
for robust health. Native diets were full of
guts, grease and enzymes, the latter found only
in raw foods, as well as the fat-soluble activators.
Grassfed raw milk provides all of these nutrients
in abundance, as do our high vitamin cod liver
oil, x-factor butter oil, and organs and gland
supplements in capsule form.
