It seems pretty simple. The problem is since most people have been eating a certain way their whole life, they may not have considered this idea.
Could it be cooked food is not a natural and ideal diet for people? Do animals out in the wild cook their food? Do they experience the diseases that people get? Yet for some reason our pets experience some of the same diseases as people. Is it because people feed them cooked and processed food too?
Does cooking and processing food damage vitamins and minerals and destroys enzymes? Does it turn the food into a poison?
When people cook are they creating hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of new molecules that could be considered toxic to the body?
There might be strong evidence that the body considers cooked food toxic. "Leukocytosis is an excessive rise in the white blood cell count, if foods are heated between 120 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit. That was Dr. Paul Kouchakoff findings of this phenomenon in 1930. He did over 300 experiments at the Institute of Clinical Chemistry in Lausanne, Switzerland.
What he discovered was, after a person eats cooked food, their blood reacts immediately increasing the white blood cell count. This is called "digestive leukocytosis."
Eating raw food did not cause this reaction. Also, when a food had been processed (refined, added chemicals, etc.), that always caused a increase in the number of white cells in the blood." (Scource: http://naturalhealthway.com/articles/leukotocytosis.html)
Cooking food also helps us to eat foods that are not part of the natural diet for people.
People would have a hard time eating grains without cooking them. People eat meat by cooking it. Could this be signs that nature did not intend people to eat these foods?
