While there is certainly value in many raw foods, I would say that in the modern
world, it is not beneficial to eat an exclusively "raw food diet", meaning that
"raw" is the principle being followed.

There are many details to the reasons, and if you have a lot of spare time, you
can read some of the voluminous documentation and discussion at:

which, by the way, is also the best place to send people who try to telll you
that various forms of vegetarianism are healthier or more natural than a
meat-based Paleo diet
