I believe that raw fruit and vegetables pass through largely undigested, without converting to glucose, due to the cellulose structure of plant cells that prevent digestion.
Fruit and vegetables are made mostly of carbohydrates and fiber.
Fiber is defined as that part of the plant that is not digestible in humans. So, it is true that fiber is not digested. It is turned into a mush in the stomach, then passes through the intestines and when it reaches the colon, the bacteria there will break some of it down, and the rest will be excreted. There is no health benefit to fiber; only harm. It harms us by creating abrasions throughout our digestive tract, all the way down.
Herbavores have bacteria in their stomachs, which can break down the fiber (i.e. "cellulose"), but we have none in our stomachs. Bacteria are the only thing on planet Earth that can break down fiber/cellulose.
In cattle, the grass is broken down by the bacteria in the animal's four chamber stomach, and converted into fatty acids. As the bacteria die off, they become protein, as well as any bugs that were ingested with the grass.
Thus, cattle function metabolically on protein and fat, and not on carbohydrates.
Humans also function on protein and fat, not on carbs -- even if you eat them.
In humans, the fiber is not digested, but the carbohydrates are ingested in the intestines. They are broken down into their component sugars: glucose for vegetables, and a combination of glucose and fructose for fruits.
Fructose is processed in the liver. Too much fruit can cause non-fatty liver disease.
The glucose goes to the liver. Some is sent to various cells of the body for energy. Cancer cells thrive on glucose. Healthy cells can function on glucose, but they function more efficiently on ketones, which come from fatty acids. Cancer cells cannot function at all on ketones.
Some of the glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and muscles for future use, and any excess is converted into triglycerides, a form of fat, which is stored in the bodyfat cells.
People who are obese ate a lot of carbs to get that way.
When cooked, the same vegetables and fruit now become digestible and covert to glucose in the body.
Fruits and vegetables are broken down by the digestive system the same way. Whether raw or cooked, they covert to glucose or glucose/fructose.
This is why raw salads are good for you, not because they are good but because they are less bad,
No, they are bad for you.
Have you ever eaten a raw salad with NO DRESSING? I bet you haven't, or rarely do. Try eating ONLY a plate of leaves and nothing else.
It is absolute garbage, and you will not want to continue eating it.
The only reason people can even eat salads at all is the OTHER STUFF they put on them to make them edible.
ALL PLANTS HAVE CHEMICALS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO KILL ANIMALS.
ALL.
That means: ALL.
True, fruits are less toxic than the leaves and stalks of the plant, because the plant "wants" SOMETHING to eat it -- but not necessarily, YOU.
Plants cannot run or hide or claw or bite to defend themselves from being eaten and going extinct.
So, they create chemicals for defense. These chemicals are ALL toxic to one degree or another.
EVERY vegetable in your local supermarket -- EVERY ONE -- has a MINIMUM of 60 known human carcinogens, and most have over 100.
Every one of them has chemicals that created a toxic environment inside of your body when you eat them.
People cook potatos because they are toxic and can kill you if eaten raw.
Every one of the vegetables, along with the grains and legumes, have anti-nutrients in them that prevent the absorption of minerals from the other foods you eat. They also have protease inhibitors which block the absorption of aminio acids in the proteins you eat.
and regular (i.e., non-vegetarian) people who eat a lot of salads instead of cooked vegetables are skipping the absorption of carbs compared to those who eat fries and the like.
No, they are not skipping the absorption of the carbs. They are still getting them, along with the anti-nutrients. What is happening is they are getting LESS of them if they are ONLY eating vegetables, rather than the much higher calorie-dense combination of potatos (a starch, made of sugars) fried in toxic hydrogenated vegetable oils (a man-made, and not natural food substance).
They are still ingesting something bad, but maybe less of it.
