This isn't very scientific but it is right at the top of my personal reasons and you said you are interested in hearing about those reasons too.
When I eat LFRV I feel like everything is in tune like an orchestra that is playing beautiful music with each note being played in perfect time and rhythm. Its feels just right. I feel inner calm and joy in the moment. But when I deviate from this healthy lifestyle its like someone starts clanging a very loud and crappy sounding symbol that is out of time and rudely disrupts the music. After that I can't wait get back on my LFRV path and enjoy feeling the bliss of health & wellness again.

This is a beautiful description RawKeyBalboa! I understand that very well. Hope you can add it to the topic "Why Raw" yourself.

Hi Jaakko, it is one of the most most convincing logical paths for me too. Thank you!

You've remind me that I watched a good documentary a while ago on color vision in primates developed on recognizing ripeness of fruit - I'll add this point to the text, as well as copy one citation from another topic on fossil teeth.

I see non-fruit food as an emergency food too - unnecessary most of the times. And I certainly agree on other health factors. I need to concentrate on raw/not raw though :)

I wonder why so little research have been done in this direction. Yes, probably nobody is interested to sponsoring it, or the living matter is difficult to study because it is not replicable with all needed conditions to "behave" as inside a living organism.

Most studies on fruits and vegetables are using raw. Any of the thousands of fruit and vegetable studies would be a raw food study.
