Ouch! I don't like that word " Horrible " ha ha. That's alright, I was doing free writing because I was in a hurry to leave, so I had like a minute to write and think a little bit. Thanks for everything! I am going to fix my grammar and send it to my teacher.

You seem to know a lot. Perhaps you can help me. I got a 65 because I didn't include a paragraph how my topic (raw food vs cooked food) relates or differentiate to science,pseudoscience, and non-science. IF I do it right, I can get an 90! This is what I wrote so far.. Oh, and you're welcome to edit and fix my grammar. That would nr nice of you. I would do the same if you needed help. I want to send the paragraph to her today or tomorrow morning. So please help me. I am so stressed because I am falling back behind for my other classes. I want to get this done. I am still writing , but I want to know how if this is what she's looking for. Science is able to use method to test a specific food and find the cause-and-effect, whereas pseudoscience is not able to do that. They are usually false. For instance, they reported that all fiber is lost when cooked, but they have no proof. Also, they reported that you won't live long if you eat cooked foods. Science does a controlled study with a group and a control group differing by just one variable, is the hallmark for a scientific study, although not all studies can be done like that. They could take years to study a specific food to find the facts. According to scientist, it is true that raw foods, such as vegetables/fruits, nuts/seeds, and sprouts are better for you than cooked food. They do protect us against cancer heart diseases, have more energy, and lose weights. Enzyme is destroyed when heated above 116 degree F, but that's wrong. Enzyme actually don't get destroyed when food is been heated.

So I should write that" pseudoscience reports that enzyme are destroyed when cooked. In reality, they are actually denatured when cooked.' Because I search on Google and it says that enzyme are destroyed when cooked over 116 degrees F. I guess that's wrong.

Oh, OK thanks. I got a good score for my essay even if I lied that it was about science. I need to write this paragraph tonight. Who's going to be here later? Because I need to send it tonight. ANd I want you guys to look at it before I send it to her. I really want that 90... Because my goal is to get an A for that course. So I need more examples to write. I know this is my own work, but I am asking for help. YOU guys were helpful, so now I know what to write about. So I shouldn't write " Science studies shows that..." etc.. For instance, I should write: It is a fact that enzyme are lost if cooked above 116 degrees F" etc

Thanks! I am going to write that. Non-science would be nutritional beliefes that do not rely on scientific terminology such as "enzyme," "Vitamins," "Exact temperatures in degrees," etc. I will give at least 2-3 sentence explaining.. Such as drinking green smoothies is vital to get all the nutrients such as vitamins, etc. Also, it makes your skin feel very smooth. I know this because I drink green smoothie everyday and my skin never felt like this.. I had oily skin, acne, etc.. now all clear... you think I should write this for non-science? I know what to do write for science and pseudoscience, so I should be all set. I am going to write it tomorrow. I hope this is what she's looking for. I want that 90. ha ha.

I am going to contact my teacher and see what she say about non-science So I shouldn't write "studies" For instance, I should write " I believe scientists think that cooked carrot is better than raw carrots" I need examples for pseudoscience.. so when writing, I should say " Pseudoscience thinks that cooking the foods loses all the fiber" etc She said I need to write a paragraph about science/pseudoscience/non-science. I am suppose to write how many topic relates to any or how it difference.

I agreed with this people. Jasmine rice is healthier than other rice such as goya, etc. Rice is not very healthy because once you cook it, it doesn't have that many nutrients. Chart I eliminated rice from my diet.. I actually replaced that with quinoa for amino acids .Brown rice vs Quinoa Hope I helped!

I need to write a paragraph about science, non-science,and pseudoscience on how it relates to my topic (Raw food vs Cooked food) I forgot to include a paragraph so she gave me a chance.... here's my raw food vs cooked food paragraph: After that, I am going to post a paragraph and tell if it's correct. Eduardo Lugo Biology 11/16/2010 Raw food vs Cooked food My topic is related to science because there have been a lot of studies by scientists about foods. What happens to raw food when it is cooked? Scientist studies show that most of the nutrients are lost due to the heat and enzyme are destroyed if heated above 116 degrees F. What kind of nutrients raw foods contain? Scientist found all the nutrients that our body needs in raw foods except for vitamin B12, they are only found on meats. What are the benefits in raw foods? Scientist found a lot of essential benefits in raw food. I will answer more of these questions in paragraphs. According to Dr. Fuhrman, there are plenty of benefits in raw fruits and vegetables. Those foods supply us with high nutrients and are low in calories which it's essential for the body. Scientist research proves that raw food protects us against cancer and heart disease. Not only that it contains high nutrients and protect us against diseases, it's been proven that there are many other benefits to eating raw foods, including weight lost, more energy, clear skins, and they are rich in enzymes which help us digest our foods properly. In addition, sprouting the nuts or seeds will activate the enzyme, increases the vitamin content, protein quality, and essential fatty acid. Once you cook raw foods, this structure can change, thus, study has shown that you lose at least 50 percent of nutrients. As for vitamins, you may lose up to 80-90 percent of vitamin content once is heated or cooked. Also, you can lose half of protein, might lose some minerals, lose antioxidant, destroy omega 3, and fatty acids. Also, enzymes will be destroyed. That is a lot if you think about it. You can get all the nutrients from raw foods. If you compare raw apple pie versus cooked apple pie, the raw pie has almost all of the nutrients available, but once you cook this pie, it loses all of the amino acids, half of the vitamins, and may destroy a few minerals. Scientists compared many similar food and the results were always almost the same. It is logical if you think about it because they must compare them in order to find the cause and effect which it's their job. In conclusion, prior to doing a little bit of research, I already knew about raw food because I am on a 60-70 percent raw diet. However, I didn't know that half of nutrients are lost when it's cooked, and vitamins lose about 80-90 percent of vitamins content. Also, I didn't know about enzyme being in raw food. Enzyme is destroyed when cooked above 116 degrees F. Now I know the different between raw food and cooked food in nutrients and benefits. Raw food wins when it comes to nutrients. (I wrote the word "I" so she took 5 points off.. , I thought wrong!) She said I needed to write a paragraph how my topic relates to one of these ( science,non-science, and pseudoscience) and I needed to differentiate between them. If I do it correctly, I will get an 90 instead of 65. SO please help me.. here's the paragraph: Authentic scientific studies show that raw food cures diseases and protects against cancer. Another study shows that you will feel more energetic, lose weight, feel younger, and have clear skin by eating raw food, because it has all the nutrients that our body needs. Some pseudoscientific reports, however, have suggested that we won't live longer by eating cooked foods. Another false report shows that fiber is lost while cooking. In fact, studies have shown that boiling increases fiber, lowers cholesterol, and regulates blood sugars. Some doctors are convincing their patients to eat at least 60-80 percent raw foods to eat healthily. Also, they may tell a patient to stop eating a specific food because it's bad for them. People who learn about these may not be scientific, but they start explaining to people that eating healthy prevents diseases, makes them younger, have clear skin, etc. So theirs is speculative thought, rather than factual, until they search on the internet for facts.
