DrBarbaraHoldeman One of the reasons I don???t eat much cooked food is because whole food starches really have no or little flavor on their own and so you end up dowsing them in salt or slathering them in some sort of fat??? I eat mostly fruits and veggies and a minimal amount of nuts and seeds.. no added sodium needed =) Toxins A great way to overcome this is to add lots of herbs and spices.
