Episode 20 is up! A Raw Diet, Or A Raw Deal?

Though the raw vegan diet isn’t new, it has been regaining popularity recently. A Raw diet merges the principles of veganism with those of raw foodism. While some people may prefer to follow it for ethical or environmental, and spiritual reasons, most do it for its incredible health benefits. These include weight loss, improved heart health, and a lower risk of diabetes. However, a fully raw vegan diet may also pose some health risks — especially when it’s not well planned, and it is followed with commercially produced agriculture.

So are these plants pure or purely dangerous?
