More Information on Raw, Juicing, Low-Carbohydrate Diets

We get asked often about particular aspects of diet such as Raw, or Low-Carbohydrate. Some fall into the "Fad-Diet" realm often due to lack of information, resulting in not taking a more in-depth look at, and even more important, a personal inquiry into our own unique body systems & food history before embarking on such a dietary change.

The links to articles and audio interviews below are here for you to continue to explore for yourself and to help you to understand more about the world of Raw, Juicing and carbohydrates and how they are functioning in your body. Read and listen-on and enjoy the journey:)

Many people talk about low carbohydrate diets and yet seem to skirt the real issue of glycemic aspect of diet and the reality of sugars in our systems. The following are two excellent articles on sugars in the diet. The Dr. Rosedale article titled Insulin and it's Metabolic Effects (actually an excerpt from a speech he gave back in 1999) is one of the most critical pieces of information for anyone to read that has a sincere interest in obtaining optimal health. The Dr. Rosedale article is a long read so we posted a short version of a similar idea that is also worth talking a look at. Ultimately the Dr. Rosedale excerpt is more in-depth at 32-pages long and significantly more revealing.
