115. Nutrition 101
""Heaven forbid we use such things as pasteurization and fluoride.""

there's no tinfoil here, this is long established basic nutrition

Americans are so ignorant of basic nutrition, it's probably why our cancer rates are so high.

things like heating over 108F and pasteurization kills raw food, ruining up to 90% of it's nutrients

that's why meat is "bad" for you, it's not the meat, our digestion is designed to be omnivorous, it's the cooking of the meat which transforms it into stuff that's bad for you.

Pasteurization was necessary when sanitary conditions weren't as well understood. And what it does is trade a small minority of short term consequences for widespread longterm consequences. IOW a very few, low percentage poisonings, for a widespread general health decline.

and fluoride has long been known to be a sedative and neurotoxin, it's banned in a lot of the rest of the world, only in America with it's rampant corrupt corporations and for profit health care is fluoride still so widely used.
