User talk:Dia^

Welcome to my talk page! Please, if you are thinking to write me about one of my edits in an article you don't agree about, do please write you opinion on the article's talk page and just leave a short notice here. I normally explain the reasons of my edits in the edit summary (for small edits) but sometime I'm not half as clear as I'd like to be. So sorry in advance if I created any misunderstanding.
As a matter of principle I don't do vandalism. So if you don't like any of my edits, please try to bear in mind that I try to do my best but, as any other person on this planet, I'm not perfect and I do mistakes.

Raw Veganism

I have an objection to your reinserting some dodgy claims made by someone else in the raw veganism section which I deleted. First of all, the fact that the original statements came from a Scientific American article does not validate the statement per se - after all, there are plenty of journals which make mistakes or even publish false data etc. In the case of the relevant statements, the claim that cooking makes (by implication ALL) foods more digestible is easily disproven when one actually reads the literature on heat-created toxins in cooked foods plus studies showing that many foods, such as raw meats etc., are made LESS digestible after being cooked:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_foodism#Potential_harmful_effects_of_cooked_foods_and_cooking

The only thing that is likely correct is the claim that cooking makes vegetables more digestible, but then it is irresponsible, indeed fraudulent, for Scientific American to suggest that all foods are made more digestible. Then there is this claim:- "the evidence for health benefits of a raw vegan diet is purely anecdotal". I mean, the raw foodism page cites a few studies showing benefits for those on a raw vegan diet, so that claim is an outright falsehood, plus further studies further down the raw veganism page also show some health benefits for a raw vegan diet. Then the above link I gave with its multiple scientific data showing that cooked food is, usually,more harmful than raw food, also shows that the following claim("There is also no body of scientific evidence to support the claims that raw food is healthier than cooked food") is also dead wrong, to put it very mildly. I will add some more stuff re this, altering the statements to show the exact opposite, but will add numerous refs to counter the nonsense peddled by Scientific American. But the point is that no source is above reproach; just because it comes from Scientific American or the New York Times etc. does not make it valid. Loki0115 (talk) 08:44, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

I've actually asked to comment my edits on the talkpage of the article, so I'll copy this discussion there. I don't have an agenda and if you can bring reliable sources that support your POV, you are welcome to insert it alongside the results of the study/studies published on Scientific America. As I wrote in the edit summary, you can't remove sourced information just because in your opinion is not correct. I'd advise you to read here, WP:INDEPENDENT, and here.--Dia^ (talk) 10:25, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm stuck! I have been trying to inform others via Wikipedia of the research I have done for almost a decade. I have written a book and I am wondering why any comments I insert keep getting deleted?

Thanks for your help...
