Hello. I just joined the raw mailing list. I just started my journey into raw foods about 2 months ago. I know there are so many "facets" or types of raw-foodists, some use dehydrators, some dont, some only eat fruits and vegs, others grains, yet other are fruitarians, some take "natural" supplements such as algae, bee pollen, and others don't I find it facinating. Currently I have just one question. I have a thermostat on my dehydrator. I currently have it set to 110 degrees. I was wondering if any of you out there use dehydrators, what do you have your temp set at and why? I have heard all kinds of temperatures that enzymes start suffering at. The most wild was while I was visiting San Diego at a health food store, an employee told me they 160 degrees! Well I am under the assumption that the magice number is 117 degrees, but lately have heard of even 102 degrees. Can anybody give me some insight on this subject. I am also really interested in alkaline and the acid balance, and if anyone could offer insight or references I can look at on the web, or otherwise, I would apprecite it. Thanks!
