Is a raw food vegan diet healthy? Or will it make me sick? What’s the truth? The truth is everybody is different. Some bodies are happier and healthier with cooked foods. But not everyone. Vegan raw foodists eat only nuts, sprouts, seeds, beans, legumes, grains, fruits, and vegetables. Almost all choose organic produce. Foods aren’t cooked or even heated above 115-118 degrees.
