Tom:
What I meant was that if you plan to refrigerate wheatgrass juice for day(s),
you can add a little bit of lemon or lime juice to it, and it will function
as a natural anti-oxidant/preservative. There is no need to add lemon or lime
juice if you are going to drink the wheatgrass juice immediately. By the way,
one can add lemon/lime juice to any other juice (esp. green juices, but a
friend of mine adds it to his carrot juice), and it will increase storage
life of the juice in the refrigerator.

Tom:
Some brief comments. There are two books with "Body Ecology" in the title.
One is by Roe Gallo, who lives in San Francisco; she advocates fruitarianism.
It appears you are talking about the other "Body Ecology" book - just wanted
to clarify that.

Re: culturing vegetables. SF-LiFE is planning a day-long Expo (June 1, 1997,
at Ft. Mason in SF), and there will be at least one workshop that will
include instructions on fermenting raw vegetables. There will also be speakers,
discussion groups, and other activities. I will announce details when planning
is more advanced - in a month or two.
