问题 Advocates of the Raw Food Diet claim that raw food is the optimal fuel for the human body, since the digestive system evolved before humans started cooking with fire. Nutrition experts are in disagreement about the benefits and the pitfalls of a raw diet. Proponents of the Raw Food Diet believe that raw food contains enzymes that aid its own digestion, and that they help populate the digestive tract with beneficial flora that stimulates the human immune system. Opponents of the Raw Food Diet point out that raw food may contain harmful bacteria and parasites, and that certain products, such as kidney beans and buckwheat, are unsafe to consume in their raw form and that ignorance in such matters could result in poisoning. Additionally, critics are concerned that the structure of some foods, like tomatoes and carrots, makes it virtually impossible to access the available nutrients without cooking. Opponents also criticize raw food advocates as promoting data that is anecdotal, rather than scientific, in nature.
