DR. POTTENGER'S RESEARCH OF RAW VERSUS COOKED

One of the best-known studies of raw versus cooked foods involves a 10-year research project conducted by Dr. Francis M. Pottenger, using hundreds of cats.

His study was published in 1945 in the "American Journal of Orthodontics and Oral Surgery." Dr. Pottenger fed all the cats the same food, with the only variation that one group received their food raw, while the other received the same food, cooked.

The results dramatically revealed the advantages of raw (LIVING) foods over a cooked diet. Cats that were fed raw, living food produced healthy kittens year after year with no ill health or premature death. But cats fed the same food, only cooked, developed heart disease, cancer, kidney and thyroid disease, pneumonia, paralysis, loss of teeth, arthritis, birthing difficulties, diminished sexual interest, diarrhea, irritability, liver problems, osteoporosis, and more (the same diseases common in our human cooked-food culture).

The first generations of kittens, from cats fed cooked food, were sick and abnormal, the second generation was often born diseased or dead, and by the third generation, the mothers were sterile.

DR. POTTENGER'S FINDINGS EXPERIENCED IN HUMANS

Sadly, many of the results Dr. Pottenger obtained in his cat experiments are being repeated in our human population today. For instance, with each succeeding generation of cats fed exclusively cooked food, fewer and fewer were able to produce offspring. I just heard a figure the other day that greatly alarmed me: They said that 42% of the young adults in our country are unable to conceive. Do you think that the almost 100% cooked food diet being consumed today might have a part in the decrease in the number of young adults being able to produce offspring today?

When I was a child, the only people I remember having arthritis were the elderly who often needed a cane to assist them in walking. Today, arthritis is not just an affliction of the elderly, as an ever-increasing number of our youth are being diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. Diabetes used to be a disease of the elderly! But today, diabetes is afflicting more and more of our young people. Cancer used to be something experienced primarily by the elderly. But today, after accidents, cancer is the number one cause of death among our youth. Could the almost exclusively cooked Standard American Diet being fed our young people today have something to do with the ever-earlier development of these physical problems?

What is going on? Why are our young people experiencing serious degenerative diseases at an ever-earlier age? And why are an ever-increasing number of young adults not able to reproduce? My dear friends, if you will go back to Dr. Pottenger's experiment with the cats, you will find that the longer the cats were fed a 100% cooked food diet, the sooner they experienced physical breakdown within their bodies. The SAD diet (Standard American Diet) being consumed today is predominantly a cooked (dead) food diet, lacking the necessary LIFE force and living building materials necessary to produce and maintain a healthy physical body.

I contend that the physical breakdowns being experienced in our human physical bodies today have the same causes as the physical breakdowns the cats experienced in Dr. Pottenger’s experiment. We are consuming a basically dead, cooked food diet, loaded with all kinds of chemical additives that fail to provide our physical bodies with the building materials necessary to sustain a vibrantly ALIVE and healthy physical body.
