Ladies and Gentlemen,
Have been doing some reading, research, and talking lately regarding how the body processes and understands food. We all know kcals are NOT created equally. This logically should make sense, 100 kcals of ice cream should vary from 100 kcals of lean meat, but it is supported my nutritional/scientific backing.
To go a little deeper, how bout Raw vs. Cooked food.
(Somewhat interesting)

Observed behavior of the body while ingesting cooked food is increased white blood cell count, which is the same if something foreign or toxic enters the body.
This was alarming to me. Our immune system is, other than central nervous, our greatest ally. I decided to try a raw food diet for a week. I ate raw fish and meats (of a particular grade), vegs, and some fruits.
The results; I felt good, but nothing that would warrant a 'second coming'.
So I wanted to ask your thoughts on the matter.
