Cholera is preventable. So is salmonella and E coli. All three with great
frequency infect those who eat raw produce.

But they are *not* science.

Ehret was not a scientist. If I were you, I'd be more concerned about the fact
that Ehret's works touched on metaphysics rather than science. His racism,
though, did permeate his metaphysical views which you've adopted as "science."

That isn't the issue. I just want everyone who reads our little exchanges to
understand whom Arnold Ehret was and what he taught. Answer my question.

Serum cholesterol is overwhelmingly a factor of endogenous factors, not diet.
Some dietary cholesterol, such as that from cold water fish, is healthful and
helps reduce LDL.

Not all meat is high in saturated fats. What is wrong with getting B12 from lean
meats?

Not found in meat or dairy, dumb ass. Transfats are found in hydrogenated
VEGETABLE oils. You ****ing DOPE.

> heme iron,

More easily absorbed than non-heme.
Dietary factors that can reduce non-heme iron absorption
include phytates (found in grains, legumes, and rice); soy
protein and soy fiber; oxalates (found in spinach); and tannic
acid (found in teas and coffee). Calcium (found in dairy
products) can reduce the absorption of both non-heme and heme
iron (1).

And before you make claims about vitamin C and non-heme absorption:

Effect of ascorbic acid intake on nonheme-iron absorption from a
complete diet....

CONCLUSIONS: The facilitating effect of vitamin C on iron
absorption from a complete diet is far less pronounced than that
from single meals. These findings may explain why several prior
studies did not show a significant effect on iron status of
prolonged supplementation with vitamin C.

What benefits absorption of non-heme? Try meat. In one study, non-heme iron was
absorbed more easily in the presence of heme iron from meat. The study showed
that just eating 50 or 75 grams (about an eighth of a pound) of pork increased
nonheme absorption by 44% to 57% (respectively on 50g and 75g trials).

Very rare, and even more rare when one doesn't eat mince or other ground products.

Heterocyclic, you moron. And you still have no clue about HCAs. You throw the

Oh, perhaps you should consider the epidemiological data about raw,
unpasteurized produce and juices. Those make more people sick each year than
meat and dairy do.

Fresh meat does not stink.
