Why Vegans Have Weak Bones

April 10th, 2013 by Andrew Perlot

The dominant narrative in nutrition is that osteoporosis is mostly created by too much consumption of acidic meat, dairy, and eggs. There’s data to support this idea, such as the excretion of calcium in the urine following animal-protein-rich meals, and the fact that the countries with the highest dairy consumption have the highest risk of hip fractures.

But if eating animal foods weakens your bones, why do vegans often experience more bone fractures than omnivores?

In episode 22 of the Raw Food Health Podcast we talk about why studies are finding higher fracture rates in vegans, the cause, and what you can do to ensure your bones stay healthy for life.

Also in this episode

1) Update on Andrew’s strength training and fasting recovery.
2) The need for physical exercise
3) Do Carmelita bananas really taste better?

Show Notes:

1) The three causes of raw food diet insomnia.

The Truth About Over-Hybridized Fruit

March 27th, 2013 by Andrew Perlot

This cultivated cherimoya is much smaller than its wild cousin, the junglesop, and no more sugary.

This cultivated Cherimoya is much smaller than its wild cousin, the junglesop, and no more sugary.

Is modern fruit too sugary and over bred?

After our discussion of genetically modified foods a few episodes back, a lot of people have been asking about something we hear all the time in the raw food world – that today’s fruits are too hybridized, too sugary, too big, and man-bred seedless monstrosities to boot.

Is there any valid criticism in this critique, or yet another example of the raw food community blathering on like fools in pseudo science speak?

In episode 22 of the Raw Food Health Podcast, we find out, and also discuss using okra in raw food recipes.

Why Our Children Are Getting Dumber And Weaker

March 18th, 2013 by Andrew Perlot

ADD, learning disorders, and dozens of other neurological problems have become rampant in children over the last few decades as their bodies have grown fat and failed to develop strength and balance.

Why? A perfect storm of brain-altering electronics, lack of outdoor play and exercise, fewer decision-making opportunities, worsening diets, and other lifestyle changes have played a huge role.

I episode 21 of the Raw Food Health Podcast we explore some of the interesting data on learning and physical activity.

Other topics:
