John, I noticed a few people commented they thought your videos were too long. I disagree! I love sitting down in the evenings and listening to your videos by topic, and have you thoroughly explain the subject.

[@armywife2248]

I love the fact that you don't adhere to "labels", yet still stick to your convictions and maintain good health doing it!!! Kudos! Thank you for sharing!!

[@michaelmackey754]

I have been a strict plant eater for 10 years and I just found you today… Awesome

[@journeywithbess]

I watched this at 1.5 speed and got all the information I needed! I didn't know that some store-bought raw food (especially the bins) may not actually be raw. I've also never heard of freeze dried corn! Thank you for providing the product links, I'll be checking them out.

[@robertthornton9790]

This video I could watch over and over. I have never been exposed to some of these things. I like the idea that the main diet is locally grown fruit and veg.

[@chrisklest1238]

But John, if you keep eating your fruits and vegetables you're going to out-live your fans. And then what?

[@crosswind76]

Fans will have baby fans. Then he can teach the next generation :) :)

[@gvas7560]

I really appreciated this video. Also, i appreciate that you are being a little bit more flexible with some of the products you consume becuae that help the rest of us who are not 100% raw, but mostly raw. Thanks for all you help, service and hard work. God bless you.

[@christinenason9477]

Great video as always...so informative and instructive....you do such a wonderful service John. Thank you.

[@Sea_Shell_Cruiser]

I love all your videos and I don't care how long they are I appreciate your dedication and care to share this important information. Thanks John very informative.

[@tziporah97]

One of my favorite videos yet! Thank you again for sharing what you eat!

[@crandaddyslim]

i love watching your videos while im eating, it helps me make sure that im sticking to a natural, pure and healthy lifestyle. Plus the valuable education Im getting as well!

[@Spiritual_Warrior_Princess]

You can watch John's videos at any time (or any year), and the information never gets outdated! Really enjoyed watching this video! :)

[@Vranabestia]

Thanks for this video! You made my life so much easier! You opened my eyes absolutely for free!! You are the best!

[@rozchristopherson648]

Great video !!! Packed with invaluable information. Thank you. 😃👍

[@kathybailey436]

I just found your sight today. It's great that you explain things thoroughly.

[@victoriam3055]

I love your graphic with the rectangular box on the left side, giving the topic of your video!

[@plants4ever48]

Another awesome video John! You.have answered a lot of my questions. Also, the length of the video is no problem if you listen to it while doing other stuff like household chores etc.

[@cirjames2540]

Well said John and I applaud you for thinking for yourself. Your videos are always very well done.

[@flexnetuser2268]

This is so important John! Thank you SO MUCH 😊 💜❤️🌹

[@suzieqshair]

Tremendous resourceful video john....🙏🏾🙌🏿

[@Christine-777]

Love this video, and all the links. Thank you, John! :D

[@JohnMcKillop]

Shorter would be better but the info is priceless... more short vid's is a good idea... BUT... better long than not at all... Thanks John... keep on keepin on... BIG LOVE...

[@cman3746]

Great video, I like the fact you don't allow other to influence you. Please keep up what you do ooooo appreciated. Have a great day John!

[@gomezaddams6470]

I love your videos I'm so glad it popped in right now it's 5:45 p.m. in Washington State. I was feeling down you always have something good to say. you make me want to keep eating right and keep going. I used to eat so perfectly and then I got sick and had no help. Still don't have help but I'm trying much harder even though it's extremely hard just to stand up right now to eat right and you are my motivation and that's tough to motivate me so thank you so much for your videos they mean a lot!💚🌱🌿🍃🍉🍅🍒

[@lubaalviano5370]

Hi friend! I need motivation too. We can.talk.and motivate each other. My husband is not eating right and make me down. I am RN in ICU and see sick people every shift. 519 772 54 31.

[@proverbsmarketers1711]

Thank you sir. I have a terrible disease that id rather not mention. Sir... you may have just helped me stay alive for my family Thank you from the top of my heart 🙏👍

[@KMFlivin]

ProverbsMarketers is the disease stupidity

[@msjennable]

HIV? You tried blood purifiers?

[@thehealthadventurer6919]

Great information as always, John! Love how thorough your videos are. This one is really helpful for me because I have terrible autoimmune reactions to raw vegetables, but green powders seem to work great for me. I might also try some of the mushroom powders you mentioned. It seems like dehydrated foods might be quite different than cooked foods, even if they are dehydrated at hotter than raw temperatures. Cooked food on its own makes me feel depressed, but the powders I use seem to have more of a detoxifying effect. I definitely want to stay as close to raw as possible while still meeting my nutrient needs, and it seems like these are the best you can get. Really awesome!

[@josiewilliams473]

Great video, great info!! Thx for sharing

[@maureenk1635]

Thanks so much for this informative video!

[@valerieknapp6079]

Great video 😀 thank you!! What is a good light box to use and would you do a video about them? 😘

[@katyb3869]

Great video!! I'm going to be referencing it often to get some of these foods in my diet :)

[@TC-by3qc]

Thanks John, appreciate all the insight :)

[@fracritel]

Excellent content and thorough explanations

[@colleenlassie2600]

Such a sweet gift to the planet..

[@Metrorenovationsandmore]

Man, "in my opinion" you are obviously a quadrillionaire & God bless you for that but... You will never EVER die! Can' t wait to be able to afford to eat like you do. It's as close to perfection as i've ever seen in my decades of personal research!!

[@Vranabestia]

I love that you are talking based on research and health studies and not just religiously follow raw diet nothing cooked kinda style!

[@rawchick6790]

Loved this video so informative and useful. I'd use a freeze drier for fruit it's so delicious but pricey as it's so moorish like candy I can eat loads. I've got a dehydrator which I find the fruit texture more filling.

[@KUDOKii]

thank you so much for all your tips and sharing your knowledge!!!!!!!!!

[@maroonrebel]

Jah love John. Thanks for this very informative video about non-raw foods that you eat. I will try some of the Seaweeds and perhaps the mushrooms powders too. I always learn so much from your instructional videos. Thanks again. Blessed love.

[@maroonrebel]

Jah and Jahnes love. For me, as a Nyabinghi Rastafari, Jah is His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I who is Emperor of Ethiopia since November 1, 1930. He led the way to Ethiopia's evolution into a free society for all of her citizenries. There is also the fact that he descended from Emperor Menelik I who was the son of Queen Candace of Sheba and King Solomon of Jerusalem. Blessed love.

[@jahineverybody]

Blessed love Queen. Nice to see your comments. I like these videos, good Ital teachings. Haile!

[@jahineverybody]

I agree with all of Marie's description. I would add in order to help clarify for you.. To me, Jah means God or God spirit. As Rastafari, we believe in the Spiritual Divinity of Haile Selassie to one extent or another. To me, he was completely filled with God Spirit, came to earth to usher in a new age, save the world, and inspire a new faith. Being Rastafari leads me to the highest spiritual version of myself, and motivates me to live a spiritual life. Thank you for inquiring. Peace to you.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

There is a big push to eat raw, sprouted chick peas (as opposed to sprouting and cooking). What are your thoughts about eating raw, sprouted chick peas John? Also, I'm concerned about using any product made from palm due to the decimation of the rain forests . . . what's the story of the SugaVida (couldn't find much info)? Thanks so much for your abundant research, links to products, and knowledge!

[@jodiethuy4122]

Hi John, great info vid. You are one of the few raw foodists who look good. Where did you get all these product? Can you post links of where you buy them? Thanks!

[@msjennable]

I really come to enjoy your videos recently discovering you because if being an advocate raw naturalist is it the healthiest thing for you then you have to add other things to supplement your diet and be intuitive and you seem to listen to your body a lot that's why you look a lot healthier than it most raw eaters... I don't feel that your food source should define who You are you define who You are...so many people introduce themselves by the food that they eat like it's their religion so I respect you being a public figure in the community and addressing some deficiencies that need to be replaced.

[@kennetheugene6402]

John you were talking about omegas why don't you eat hemp seeds they are available with the hull and they have omega 3s 6s and 9s.

[@loraxvitalityb4212]

thanks for the links

[@shalomagape5457]

John, where do you get the pistachios? Please give the link. Tnx

[@JanPLopez]

Good share. Good info.

[@PuganPoo]

you look so healthy

[@blissfulbaboon]

Yes,heat processing for many foods unlocks the nutritive value of the food.Thank you John

[@scrappydogfinance8434]

The videos are long and wordy but you are not saying anything useless, its ALL GOOD DETAILS TO KNOW! I can play at 1.25 or 1.5x of normal speed and get trough it, also YOU TOTALLY PUT KILLER TABLE OF CONTENTS AND SHORTCUT LINKS IN THE DESCRIPTION! THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

[@mgill741]

Hi John is there another brand of unfortifies organic nutritional yeast that you recommend. The one in your link is unavailable. Also is there a link for the algea oil? Thanks

[@nickvavro]

Anyone have the link to the nutritional yeast? Can't find it on amazon

[@victoriam3055]

How long can you store those seeds and nuts in jars and bags? Are you storing them in the refrigerator?

[@whitleymaldonado]

@5:46 where do you buy this totally raw flax seed from that will sprout? I didn't see the list in description below. I bought Spectrum brand organic whole flax seeds from Whole Foods Market and tried to sprout them but nothing happened :-( I figured they're probably not raw.

[@leonpse]

Okay, but a lot of this stuff are extremely expensive and not local and seasonal. Can you do a video focusing on local and seasonal equivalents for different regions of the U.S.?

[@tkarlmann]

John: Please share your experience with your freeze drier! I suspect that the noise level would not be acceptable to me living in an apartment. Is it required to change the compressor oil after each use? Please share your thoughts. Are you considering selling them?

[@georgannecollett8047]

hi...you said you were low on omegas...can i ask how you know?....did you get your dha tested?

[@massimocarcavallo4949]

Does anybody know an online store for miso?

[@BlueSkies360]

great idea, freeze dried plus seaweed or curry powder

[@williamchernenkoff9989]

Amazing sources for these products. I'd been trying to find a better source of Nutritional Yeast (was buying Sari brand at $26/lb) and Macadamia nuts. Thank you so much, I had been searching everywhere.

[@Synchronicitizen]

The Raw Food World store has an unfortified Nutritional Yeast as well.

[@DancingSpiderman]

Will Nicholas 伟林 Don't give yerself a yeast infection

[@charsuter]

Hi John, Great video! Do you know a reputable source for sprouting seeds? Which would offer the most nutrition for your money? Thank you for your time and please keep making the great videos. :)

[@TheVeganVixenBlog]

Char Allen I used high mowing organic seeds (they have great mixes) for about 7 to 8 dollars you get tons and tons and tons of sprouts way more than what you get in the store pre-sprouted for that money in within 3 to 5 days you're flush in sprouts

[@charsuter]

Thank you! We actually use that brand of seed in our garden. I will have to check out their sprouting selection, had no idea they offered them.

[@goofyroofy]

I thought the reason ppl choose raw is for the nutrients, so if the odd food is cooked/processed for safety etc but the nutrient profile is still great, it shouldnt matter. You mentioning frozen bananas gave me and idea, if heating to a certain temp is bad, wouldnt freezing also be bad, breaking cell walls, deactivating enzymes, etc.

[@riopato2009]

John I'm noticing you don't talk about hemp seeds that often. Is there any reason that hemp isn't a better alternative to flax or chia seeds?

[@marydidyouknow5826]

My naturopath has a list of bad guy sweeteners and good guy sweeteners. Agave is on the good guy list because it tests and strengthening the body's bio-electric field. Eating a lot of it is not healthy, but in small amounts, it does actually strengthen the body.

[@greg6509]

Sacha Inchi seeds. Roasted but incredibly high in Omega 3's, fiber , complete protein and other nutrients. Work well instead of cashews for making vegan Parma.

[@peipejzdful]

Where i can buy high vitamin d mushroom powder ?

[@Ib90]

Where can I find the Veggie man's Mushroom powder?, I don't see it anywhere online.

[@amandarossouw493]

Can you do a video on how you store all these foods and what system you use to store them and also the proper way to store them so they don't go rancid.

[@lorplant977]

Definitely plan to add some cooked mushrooms to my diet, they are highly medicinal.

[@christinepeters7110]

HI john i soakand sprout and dehydrate my nuts so if i bought this nuts that you are talking about from the raw food world would i be able to soak and sprout these nuts?

[@lav1daloca]

john do you eat breakfast lunch and dinner or are you also intermittent fasting? and why or why not?

[@yoga.cozinha.floresta]

I live in brazil, and Baru nuts are awsome, but as I know, cracking/extracting baru nuts without roasting it is REALLY hard. Some are more roasted than others, just shell them and look the color inside. As for raw food, I do eat cooked food, which is about 30% of what I eat, some foods I grow can't be eaten raw anyway, Mostly tubers, nuts, mushrooms and such. As a brazilian, I never heard or saw jungle peanuts! Are they a different species ? I can't find seeds around here.

Hi from the Uk I just got a tribest vertical and cut out milk After drinking the stuff for maybe 60 years I must say how nice all the food items seem to taste now everything I eat seems to be somehow tastier Now I am a teach what you know and learn what you don't sort of guy,Itook a coconut outside yesterday and tapped it on the floor turning it as did this and after 7 times the sound it made started to change and then a piece of shell fell off and the rest of the shell pulled off in pieces so I was left with a shelll less ball of coconut meat and if I had left the water in it would have probably not leaked out so my next coconut I am just going to try my method again with the water in plus I don't bother cutting stuff up like a carrot gets cut once in half and a celery the same as long as it's fresh and has not got stringy with time the tribest seems to,handle it well I just let it feed in itself ,the wife went spare after seeing the mess and the extra bags of waste until she tried the juice now she loves it ,I have bought another strainer with a bigger gauge and run an orange through it for me and an orange through it and then through the finer strainer for the wife in fact everything first goes through that course strainer then the finer one ,only two accidents so far I left the rubber bung out the one under the bowl and I somehow left the auger out yesterday' ,finally I bought some almond milk it's about 2% almond then made my own which is far better well it would be comparing to a ratio as low as that ,keep the videos coming regards Paul in the Uk

In what way do you eat soy tempeh? Raw? Or coocked? Recepie please?

Burroo nuts? Aysee nuts? I wish you'd write the name of these foods on the screen as you introduce them, as we haven't all heard of them, and such foods often have weird spellings.

You're the best!

[@victoryleo8310]

what do you think about plant based Vega essentials shake I was thinking of getting some to help on my journey to a healthy lifestyle

[@okraw]

Im not a fan of Vega products. IMO they are too processed. I would encourage you to have more whole food based powders. Check out Vitamineral Green by Healthforce Nutritionals.

[@victoryleo8310]

okraw is that on store shelves well sorry but I already purchased that powder I think I'll just get my money back on it I'll try to do my smoothies without protein powder what do you think about vegan yogurt I just bought one called silk peach mango

[@robinlillian9471]

1. Fortified nutritional yeast has B12 added. You might want to consider getting that if you're a vegan. Non-fortified doesn't have B12. 2. Isoflavones ARE phytoestrogens.

[@KitchenTherapy]

Lovely!

[@BaruchHashem]

Artichoke hearts from Trader Joes contains citric acid which can be irritating to the lining of the stomach. So, if you are sensitive in any way or have digestive issues, you may want to skip nutritional yeast.

[@brigittek4493]

Here are some successful frugovores for several years now: Toni Weel (learned from Dr. Morse), Charlie Freak and Colleen + Justin Carpenter (learned from the bible). All of them made an intense fruit juice detox. Thank you for your infos - I am in transition from vegan to raw vegan.

[@gomezaddams6470]

John how do you eat the tempeh?

[@remadjalita317]

Gomez l Addams Tempeh is one of the best thing you can imagine , thats part of my daily diet very good for vegetarians.

[@Kianquenseda]

What about beans ? can they be juiced ?

[@ladystalker3953]

Thank you John. I'm going to be able to expand my raw vegan diet.

[@KonataC]

Following Dr Sebi's nutritional guide was the best advice. Your stuff doesn't stink, your urine is almost clear, and your saliva is very clear like that of a babies. When I eat foods outside the list and notice a returning signs of symptoms contrary to only the few I've just listed, I know I do not have long term plans with that food. I appreciate your channel a lot John. I just wonder experts ignore a man who has been curing cancer, aids, ailments and disease for real, not in theoy, since the 80's. RIP he was murdered in a Mexican prison last summer. He was a very brave man. Died at 84 years old. And he was still producing children.

[@garrettb69]

[@DancingSpiderman]

Jodie Collins Gimme some Nooch, baybee! You know i like your brand!

[@DarleneDeCicco]

Good for you John! Some things are good to cook :-)

[@nubiasista9709]

The whole point of making sure to eat raw was to ensure you were eating fruits and veggies with enzymesand nutrients intact. But when it comea to things like nuts and beans adding a littlw heat to me is fine. Alternatively you can just soak them till they sprout so those nutrients are made available. But to me, if im eating 85-90% raw, then i dont stress about things that arent here and there. I dont want to be so obsessive and stressed out about food. And roastws nuts have never given me problems.

[@colleenkaralee2280]

John, do you do intermittent fasting too?

[@jay-jay836]

You rock!!!!

[@ExpressionsofAwakening]

Ive read that roasting can help remove some phytic acid....wouldn't that be a good thing so that the nuts can be absorbed easier? although I am sure many other nutrients are destroyed in roasting.

[@live.remedy]

Soaking and dehydrating also reduces phytic acid.

[@bernadettesisson4195]

Once you soaked discard the water..

[@LarryRichelli]

John, I thought you agreed and followed Dr Fuhrman on eating GBOMBS. So lightly cooking mushrooms and also beans.

[@okraw]

I eat a my "raw" version of a nutritarian diet. Including the cooked (and fermented) beans that I talk about in this episode, as well as mushroom powders that are heat processed. Soon I will have a tempeh maker and will make many different types of bean tempehs that are unpasturized.
