The concept of it something being raw in the sense of the word is that it maintains enzymatic activity, among other things. But that seems to be the main focus on food products to be considered "raw". According to the raw food page, the range of heat applied to food to remain raw is within the range of 110-120 degrees fahrenheit. According to Dr. Gabriel Cousens, enzymes are able to withstand internal temperatures of up to 118 degrees fahrenheit with initial brief periods of exposure up to 145 degrees fahrenheit.

[1] is used as Citation 1 in the Yacon Syrup article.

For citation 1 to be used to describe Yacon Syrup as raw seems odd considering it contradicts the raw food article. The citation provided describes the yacon going through heat processing of up to 98 degrees Celcius, which converts to 208 degrees Fahrenheit. This neither correlates with the raw food article, nor what Dr. Gabriel Cousens has indicated.

What are the wikipedia guidelines for a statement that uses a citation which directly contradicts the statement being made?

I hadn't checked all facts in that sentence as I should have... I just put the reference and thought I would check it later. I'm sorry for my error. I removed the misplaced citation. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 17:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
