Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 There is some truth to that. Heat makes proteins tough - the same way an egg white gets hard or rubbery when you cook it. I've treated dogs with gastroparesis from pancreatic cancer or renal failure and seen them vomit cooked meats 12 -15 hours eating (it never left their stomach), while raw meats are fully digested by the same patients. The fat contained in meat is also damaged by heat, though to a lesser degree than vegetable fats. There is some indication that ancient peoples might have cut the fat from fresh meat and eaten that raw, while cooking the meat? I cringe at the thought of eating raw meat myself, but I don't doubt its easier to digest ( if you have a clean source!). I suppose you could treat it with lactoferrin. On Friday nights my family likes to watch Iron Chef, where the panel happily eats anything from turkey to horse mane fat completly raw (yuck!) My husband wants to know where they get their meat from.... ----- Original Message ----- From: ms4runr2 Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 1:33 PM Subject: Bieler's book H.Bieler wrote " Food is Your Best Medicine " , antecdotal but interesting nevertheless.

Our digestive systems are definitely carnivorous. It is beginning to make much more sense to eat meat raw (grass-fed only) and vegetables cooked, or fermented. /a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vache " " >The Eskimos eat their meat raw. " " I request that you contribute to us with a tidbit from your vast store of knowledge. Is it an over-simplification to say that the Eskimos eat their meat raw? Is it more like " The Eskimos eat approximately 90% of their animal protein uncooked. " ? 20%?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 And your point is...? I was speaking of " generic " Eskimos BEFORE they were " civilized " by the white man and his foods, AND those mentioned in Weston A. Price's book in the 1930's. Why are you offended. Are you a " modern-day " Inuit? anne > >OH PLEASE!!! Spare us from such broad based generic statements! I for one > >am truly offended.
