Raw Love

General facts:

A raw vegan diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115-118 degrees.  Foods cooked above these temperatures lose most of their nutritional value along with the potential increase of forming harmful carcinogens.

Carcinogens: A chemical or physical agent that encourages cells to develop cancer.

A raw diet would consist of approximately 75% or more of raw food on a daily basis.
