Editor’s Comment: Some people like to think that sun dried is the exception to dried food; this is a good example of misinformation. People are too busy watching football to use their minds to critically analyze information such as the concept of dried foods. Could this also be one way to condition the mind to accept this nutrition depleting process in order to do something that may or may not be good for us?
If people made the time to think about sun-dried verses oven-dried, could they come to the conclusion that both drying processes are actually the same when it comes to nutritional value at the end of the process?
Could the sun have already prepared and baked it to perfection? Could further heat destroy the enzymes as we have learned from science? Could dried fruit also be considered a refined food since it is missing its very important water content? Could the nutrients all be destroyed as science has told us? Could a raisin possibly have more nutrients than a grape?
Dried fruit has been known for being a cause of tooth decay and cavities. Do not ask your dentist, he is educated to be a micro-construction worker: he builds bridges, drills and fills-in holes; neither construction or micro-construction worker learn about nutrition.
The highest source of nutrients and the healthiest diet for human consumption comes from a raw, whole, fresh, ripe, organic, low-fat diet of fruits and vegetables.
Dehydrated food is not a whole food; it has had its water taken out. As such, it could never be as good as the whole, fresh food, even if the water is replaced.
Some of the nutrients inevitably get damaged in the process of dehydration and rehydration. This becomes a personal decision, but dried foods should always be considered at least a second choice behind fresh, whole, organic, ripe fruits and vegetables.
Current research shows that B12 changes to an analog and unusable form where it is found in dehydrated foods.
