Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Vince, how do you keep bugs off your organic vegetables (I've always wanted to do this).

There's no doubt in my mind that there are some benefits from raw vegetables that are eliminated during cooking. Obviously there are still benefits after cooking, but not as many. If someone is marketing a product, and the shelf life is important for their profits, they are suspect when they try to disparage the home-made fresh advantage. This reminds me of the whole pasteurized vs raw milk controversy. Raw is far superior to pasteurized, but long shelf life requires pasteurization. I'll have my KT fresh and uncooked, thank you That said, I understand that when people are traveling or too busy to make their own they can enjoy benefits from cooked KT or Kombucha drops, just like I enjoy benefits from cooked vegetables when I don't have any raw.

Kellie, my reaction is usually quite the same :-)) Hubbie and I saw a Kombucha product in the health shop last week, VERY expensive, too. When we read 'pasteurised' on the bottle we remarked out of one mouth, 'Oh no, that's dead!!', saying, how much we appreciated having the real live stuff to drink at home for far less money!! Yes, live Kombucha for me any day! kombuchaly, Margret:-0 -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ Minstrel@... <)))<>< http://www.therpc.f9.co.uk <)))<>< http://www.AnswersInGenesis.com http://www.elijahlist.com +---------------------------------------------------------------+ True peace only comes from the Prince of Peace.
