Not Just Recipes, but "The Why"
Great informational book that I got mostly for recipes, but it has a wealth of why consider eating healthy. You wouldn't be looking at this type book unless you are interested in a healthy body that stays that way. This explains purchased prepared foods vs foods cooked at home vs fresh uncooked foods and their relative nutritional value...astonishing what you get in freshly consumed, uncooked foods. Whether juicing or blending, there is so much more nutrition in fresh foods with the fiber.I highly recommend this, along with "Eat to Live", "Forks over Knives", and "The China Study". After seeing the background and history in our foods, I doubt you will ever go back to good ol' restaurant foods.

Good Juicing Book
The book is very informative about juicing and why it is essential to your health. It goes through many fruits and vegetables individually and gives you the nutritional breakdown which is great. The kindle edition is really nice because if you are reading about juicing for a specific reason and the section offers recipes you can simply select a recipe to go right to it, no need to go searching through the book for the recipe.I took off 1 star for the section on weight loss and general diet. I bought a book on juicing not a book on nutrition so I don't want to hear about how I should be vegan for optimal health. I've done and still do lots of reading about nutrition from other sources and was looking for a book purely on juicing. Plus, I really don't think that a vegan diet is the best diet, at least not for everyone. My other problem with the section on weight loss was the authors restrictive diet and use of the weight loss pill HE INVENTED. Yes, in a juicing book the author tries to sell you his weight loss pill. I was disappointed that the author expected the dieter to become vegan, or mostly vegan, and restrict calories as part of a sustainable lifestyle change for weight loss. Simply adding juicing to your daily routine is probably the best thing you can do as a lifestyle change that is sustainable and will encourage weight loss. The author, in my opinion, dropped the ball here. When you start juicing your body naturally starts increasing energy and metabolism, you stop craving all those things that are bad for you, and the weight starts to come off easily. Some people may need more but diet pills should not be your first go to when you start juicing to loose weight.Overall the book is really good and I would recommend it, I just didn't like the part on diet/dieting.

Concise, inspiring, informative. Juice away!
This book gives tons of information about fruits and vegetables individually so that their components can be immediately looked up. Also, it gets into the how and why of juicing. I have been studying diet and nutrition for more than a decade, and this book is definitely among the short list I'd recommend anyone who cares about drastically improving their lives. If you're curious about juicing, just know it is not about opinion here - getting a wide variety of fruits and vegetables flowing into your body gives you an undeniable vitality. Please give it a go!

Highly informational juicing book
Michael Murray has put together an excellent juicing book. This book is aimed at those of us who want health and nutrional information. Yes, there are some good juicing recipes. I have added this juicing book to the shelf with my health related books. Combine this with Murray's "The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine," and you will have a very complete set of alternative medical information. HIGHLY recommended.

The book contains a lot of useful information but it’s poorly organized
The book contains a lot of useful information but it’s poorly organized. If you try to find what juice is helpful for your particular health issue, you have to scramble through the whole book for bits and pieces.

juice a lot of dif veggies to get many dif nutirents in your body and juice because it absorbs better. specially if you dont have great dental health
I've learn from this book almost done reading it/ its short but jam packed the cover promotes the idea of juicing with all those colorful fruits and vegetables. in short juice if you dont have time to eat so many foods. juice a lot of dif veggies to get many dif nutirents in your body and juice because it absorbs better. specially if you dont have great dental health
