"There have been many different raw food movements across the world during the twentieth century, most notably Anne Wigmore and the Hippocrates Health Institute, who promoted a living foods diet with an emphasis on green juices. They have an amazing track record of healing people with life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, and heart disease."
Proponents of a raw food diet believe it dates to prehistoric eras, before humans discovered fire. Those who believe that prehistoric humans were largely non-carnivorous vegetarians believe that the human digestive system is largely configured to eat a mainly raw, mainly vegetarian diet.
Invididuals such as Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Gillian McKeith and Professor Colin Campbell advocate diets high in raw, unprocessed foods. They claim that social trends over the past several centuries that have diverged from this diet, together with increasingly less active lifestyles, have contributed in large measure to the development and continued increase of noncommunicable diseases and obesity-related illnesses which are prevalent in developed countries. These include cardiovascular illnesses, cancers, diabetes and some auto-immune diseases.
