Questions and Answers with Thor
In this new column, Thor Bazler (author of Raw Power!: The Raw-Food Diet, Superfoods, and Building Strength and Muscle Naturally) answers your monthly questions.
-------------------------
Question #1, from Donna: "Thor, can you suggest a supplement or powder to take during my transition back to raw foods? I find myself eating far too many nuts and having uncontrollable cravings (for either nuts or some form of protein). Help!"
.
Thor: "The #1 trick is to drink enough water. Often when you think you are hungry, you are actually thirsty. Most people do not drink enough water. Vitamineral Green is a great product, try that. Also, chlorella and spirulina are natural appetite suppressants. Try Thor's Hammer (pure chlorella and pure spirulina), which has numerous health benefits as well."
-------------------------
Question #2, from Marion: "Hi Thor, what if I soak nuts for a few hours or a day before eating them? Can I then digest them more easily?"
.
Thor: "Yes, soaking will help. Also, making pates from soaked nuts and seeds with a food processor will help. A Champion juicer (using the blank plate) also makes great pates from soaked nuts/seeds. That's what I use."
-------------------------
Question #3, from Ethan: "Thor, what's your take on the cacao powder/cacao butter raw/not raw controversy?"
.
Thor: "A little while back, it was discovered that the cacao powder and cacao butter coming out of Ecuador, for years, were in fact being processed at high temperatures (400 degrees), but were being sold as 'raw, low temperature products' by several raw food companies. This is potentially dangerous because when cacao is heated above 240 degrees, acrylamide develops and, in the scientific community, acrylamide is considered to be a mutagen and a probable human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance). Luckily for cacao lovers, a farm in Bali, Indonesia designed a way to not only make truly raw cacao powder and cacao butter, but they had their process filmed and verified temperatures below 120 at every step of the way, to ensure to customers that they were indeed getting a truly raw, low temperature product. A couple raw food companies switched over to the new truly raw products (even though the cost is almost double), but others did not. Rawpower.com carries these truly raw, certified organic products."
