Yet another study supporting the health benefits of raw foods.

http://abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s1333575.htm

Exerpts from the press release:

* "The findings CONTRADICT warnings from nutritionists and the food industry that a diet without dairy foods can lead to the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis."

* "Vitamin D levels better than average"

* "Australian nutritionist, Dr Peter Clifton of CSIRO Health Sciences and Nutrition, says the study shows the diet makes people thinner but does not have any adverse effects.
He says the vegans' thin bones are appropriate for their low weight.  "They're really very light and their bone mass is compatible with their lightness.""
