long term strict Raw Food Diet is associated with favourable plasma β carotene and low plasma lycopene concentrations in germans
British Journal of Nutrition, 2008Co-Authors: Ada L Garcia, Corinna Koebnick, Peter C Dagnelie, Carola Strassner, Ibrahim Elmadfa, Norbert Katz, Claus Leitzmann, Ingrid HoffmannAbstract:Dietary carotenoids are associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases. Raw Food Diets are predominantly plant-based Diets that are practised with the intention of preventing chronic diseases by virtue of their high content of beneficial nutritive substances such as carotenoids. However, the benefit of a long-term adherence to these Diets is controversial since little is known about their adequacy. Therefore, we investigated vitamin A and carotenoid status and related Food sources in Raw Food Diet adherents in Germany. Dietary vitamin A, carotenoid intake, plasma retinol and plasma carotenoids were determined in 198 (ninety-two male and 106 female) strict Raw Food Diet adherents in a cross-sectional study. Raw Food Diet adherents consumed on average 95 weight% of their total Food intake as Raw Food (approximately 1800 g/d), mainly fruits. Raw Food Diet adherents had an intake of 1301 retinol activity equivalents/d and 16·7 mg/d carotenoids. Plasma vitamin A status was normal in 82 % of the subjects ( ≥ 1·05 μmol/l) and 63 % had β-carotene concentrations associated with chronic disease prevention ( ≥ 0·88 μmol/l). In 77 % of subjects the lycopene status was below the reference values for average healthy populations ( r 0·284; P r 0·168; P = 0·024). Long-term Raw Food Diet adherents showed normal vitamin A status and achieve favourable plasma β-carotene concentrations as recommended for chronic disease prevention, but showed low plasma lycopene levels. Plasma carotenoids in Raw Food adherents are predicted mainly by fat intake.

long term consumption of a Raw Food Diet is associated with favorable serum ldl cholesterol and triglycerides but also with elevated plasma homocysteine and low serum hdl cholesterol in humans
Journal of Nutrition, 2005Co-Authors: Corinna Koebnick, Ada L Garcia, Carola Strassner, Norbert Katz, Claus Leitzmann, Pieter C Dagnelie, Jan Lindemans, Ingrid HoffmannAbstract:High consumption of vegetables and fruits is associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular disease. However, little information is available about Diets based predominantly on consumption of fruits and their health consequences. We investigated the effects of an extremely high Dietary intake of Raw vegetables and fruits (70-100% Raw Food) on serum lipids and plasma vitamin B-12, folate, and total homocysteine (tHcy). In a cross-sectional study, the lipid, folate, vitamin B-12, and tHcy status of 201 adherents to a Raw Food Diet (94 men and 107 women) were examined. The participants consumed approximately 1500-1800 g Raw Food of plant origin/d mainly as vegetables or fruits. Of the participants, 14% had high serum LDL cholesterol concentrations, 46% had low serum HDL cholesterol, and none had high triglycerides. Of Raw Food consumers, 38% were vitamin B-12 deficient, whereas 12% had an increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Plasma tHcy concentrations were correlated with plasma vitamin B-12 concentrations (r = -0.450, P < 0.001), but not with plasma folate. Plasma tHcy and MCV concentrations were higher in those in the lowest quintile of consumption of Food of animal origin (P(trend) < 0.001). This study indicates that consumption of a strict Raw Food Diet lowers plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, but also lowers serum HDL cholesterol and increases tHcy concentrations due to vitamin B-12 deficiency.
