It is not. I am an obsessive skeptic, and after a while I went back to
eating cooked and processed pseudo foods, I soon started to feel more
lethargic and congested. Obviously I hastily reversed course. Similarly when
going from vegetarian to vegan I noticed the number of "colds" decreased
from 4+ per year to onlt 1-2. Of course there may have been other changes in
environment that helped, but I could not see anything other than diet that
coudl be so dramatic. When I read other books and testimonies confirming the
finding, then the hypothesis is sufficient strong to be acceptable as a
fact.

I don't need to wait for it, I do my own research!

It consists of elemental substances which occur naturally the same way in
nature.

Then why are there so many biological mechanisms to protect creatures from
some of the chemicals and pathogens in it?
