Should we be eating buckwheat greens, sprouted legumes, raw mushrooms, and seaweeds? What do we learn from science about raw and high-raw diets in relation to chronic disease? Can raw food diets help us with weight management, or prevent diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia?
