Food Matters Movie

Bonnie - most of this movie is "right on", except the part about plant food proteins being more bioavailable than animal proteins. There is no research to prove this assumption. In fact, humans are omnivores (with the ability to digest both plant and animal foods). Genetically some individuals, especially blood type O's, have powerful enzymes and a large amount of bile to break down animal proteins efficiently, but cannot break down plant proteins. Spirulina is both plant and animal, so efficiently absorbed, but you would have to drink s gallon of spirulina liquid to get the protein availability of 4 ounces of chicken breast!

This movie promotes a primarily raw foods vegan diet. Yes, raw food is beneficial. If you can't get at least half of your diet from raw foods, you can compensate by taking digestive enzymes. My sickest clients are vegans because they can't possibly get enough protein to repair cell damage. But I think the movie has tremendous value in that it helps the public think about what they're putting into their bodies and that real food is the best medicine!
