This cultivated Cherimoya is much smaller than its wild cousin, the junglesop, and no more sugary.Is modern fruit too sugary and over bred?
After our discussion of genetically modified foods a few episodes back, a lot of people have been asking about something we hear all the time in the raw food world – that today’s fruits are too hybridized, too sugary, too big, and man-bred seedless monstrosities to boot. 
Is there any valid criticism in this critique, or yet another example of the raw food community blathering on like fools in pseudo science speak?
In episode 22 of the Raw Food Health Podcast, we find out, and also discuss using okra in raw food recipes.

Farm Of Life And Raw Food Retreats – The Raw Food Health Podcast

It’s Paw Paw Season!
There’s a delicious fruit coming into season that might be growing in your back yard, but virtually no one knows about it – Allow me to introduce you to the Paw Paw. 
The Paw Paw kept Lewis and Clark’s expedition from starving, and fed the early settlers of the United States.
It was a favorite desert of George Washington, distracted entire regiments (who preferred chowing down in orchards to to fighting) during the Civil War, and was incorporated into the managed food forests of the Native Americans.
Since the industrial agriculture and transportation system took over, though, food has strayed from its local roots, and outside of its native range, the paw paw has been mostly forgotten.
In episode 27 of the Raw Food Health Podcast, we’ll talk to Chris Chmiel, a paw paw farmer who founded the Ohio Paw Paw Festival, and now seeks to get this fruit a bit of well-deserved attention.
We talk about the paw paw, foraging for it in the wild for fun and profit, the Ohio Paw Paw Festival, and how you can get your hands on some paw paws if you live outside of its usual haunts.
Correction:
In the show I say Chris’ Farm is in Athens County Georgia. It is actually in Athens County Ohio
Show Notes:



Andrew’s Overfeeding Experiment
Chris’s Farm, Integration Acres

Is sweaty bikram yoga good for you?
You’ve probably heard your yoga instructor, some celebrity, or your next door neighbor wax poetic about the detoxifying and slimming benefits of doing yoga or other exercises in extremely hot, humid, and unventilated environments.



All that sweat carries toxins out of the body and leads to quicker fat loss, the story goes.
This belief has become so popular that something I refer to as “bikram creep,” has taken hold in the yoga and general fitness world, and now completely unrelated activities are being done at 90 to 110 °F.
But is there any truth to this?
In episode 26 of the Raw Food Health Podcast I talk about Bikram Yoga Creep and the physiological side of doing exercise in hot environments.

Bikram Yoga Creep: Does High-Heat Exercise Detox And Slim You?

Mike Vlasaty
We know raw foodists excel at endurance sports, but what about about strength training?
When Mike Vlasaty went raw, he decided to concentrate on weight lifting and bodyweight exercises to see if he could really get strong and gain a lot of muscle while eating a raw vegan diet.
In the Raw Food Health Podcast Episode 25 we talk to Mike about how that experiment worked out, what he eats, if he’s concerned about protein, and many other topics.
I also talk about whether or not a healthy low fat raw vegan diet is appropriate for everyone.

How Mike Vlasaty Got Jacked On Fruits And Veggies.

Think cinnamon, turmeric, peppers, and the dozens of flavor-enhancing foods, spices, and herbs raw foodists sometimes employ are healthy because they’re raw?
In episode 23 of the Raw Food Health Podcast we talk about why many “healthy” foods have a downside that creates the drug-like effect doctors, ayurvedic and Chinese medicine practitioners, and naturopaths like to praise. 
I also interview Phillip Cuccerre, the Business Development Manager for the Carmelita banana brand. I ask him why his company’s bananas seem to taste better than the average cavendish you get in the United States.
