" The phenomenon termed "digestive leukocytosis" was discovered by
Kouchakoff in the 1920s. However, since it has never been confirmed by
subsequent scientists, it is not unreasonable to believe that it may have
been due to an experimental error. That Kouchakoff's single series of
experiments upon which the raw-foodist claims about leukocytosis are based
hark back to the 1920s/30s would be enough to raise doubts for any rigorous
researcher about the potential oversights early work like this might have
had. Without these experiments having been replicated with the benefit of
considerably more sophisticated modern techniques and knowledge about the
immune system, it is difficult to take these experiments without a large
grain of salt today."
