Fantastic! Welp looks like i need to seriously consider raw diet or alternatively paleolithic diet. I could seriously clean up my body toxics with raw though. I wanna clean up. What's 80/10/10 diet, doktor? also, what about porridges made of spelt? or is that still a no-go being a uh grain? i really like spelt, it feels pretty good but i dunno.
I would avoid coconut oil though (bad colestherol) and just stick with avocado.

80/10/10 diet was created by Dr. Douglas Graham. It's an all raw diet in which 80 % of your calories should come from carbs, 10% from fat, and 10% from protein. Apparently from what people say (online so can't know for sure just testimonials) that is it is great. However, it's almost all fruit like 80% of your diet is fruit the rest it like green leafy vegetables so it's probably expensive. It's also a lot of mono meals, eating one food at a time for a meal. For example, a breakfast might consist of like 10 oranges. I know people on this diet who eat like 15+ bananas a day. There is also a website forum for people on/intersted in this diet called 30 bananas a day.
http://www.amazon.com/80-10-Diet/dp/1893831248You can eat grains on the raw diet if you sprout them first. I sometimes make an pudding/oatmeal type thing using chia seeds because when you soak them in water for like 5 minutes they turn into a gel. Recently I've been making this with dried fruit, water, cinnamon, sprouted quinoa, and chia seeds. Also like I said before you don't have to be 100% you can eat like half raw and still get benefits. I'm not raw but I eat a lot of raw meals. My breakfast usually tends to be raw because raw bfasts are usually fast and easy to make like the pudding takes 5 minutes and how hard is it to grab fruit?
As for coconut oil, it's fine. It's high in saturated fats but they are short chain (not long chain found in animal products) and also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_fat#Cardiovascular_disease"Not all research finds the link between saturated fat and cardiovascular disease clear. In 2010, a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies found no statistically significant relationship between cardiovascular disease and dietary saturated fat.[12][13]" and
"Meta-analyses have found a significant relationship between saturated fat and serum cholesterol levels.[15]"
Plus when you use it you usually don't use a lot of it and if you're making say a raw dessert that calls for like half a cup of it chances are you aren't going to be eating the entire dessert in one sitting so you won't be getting the whole 1/2 cup.

This property of VCO may be attributed to the biologically active polyphenol components present in the oil."
