If you can eat 70 percent raw or introduce raw into your diet, it will help your health.

The remark reflects a common claim within raw-food and “living foods” dietary advocacy: that increasing the proportion of uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts, and similar foods can improve overall health. The specific “70 percent raw” figure functions less like a medically established threshold and more like a practical target meant to be achievable for people who are not fully raw. It implies a spectrum—introducing more raw foods rather than adopting an all-or-nothing regimen—and frames the benefit in general terms (“help your health”) rather than as a treatment for a specific condition.
