The issues happen when you eat 100% raw or 100% cooked. Actually cooking frees up many nutrients and destroys some. So what you need is balance. If you go 100% raw you need to eat far more food. It can be done, but that is a HUGE amount of food to be eating. So I would recommend lots of raw fruits and veggies, but unless you want to be eating all day every day 4-5000 calories a day in fruit, then you'll have to eat some cooked too.
