Here is another list of books...mostly concerning juicing and fasting. This list is from the following web page: http://www.newveg.av.org/raw_juice_fast.htm Comments would be welcome on these books as well. At the end of the list I have written a short book review of a few of the books. Steve RAW FOODS--JUICING--FASTING "Nature's First Law: The Raw-Food Diet". In a ruthlessly logical manner, the authors describe how a raw-food, fruit based diet is not just another nutritional fad, but is the key insight into uncovering humanity's orgins and destiny. It is, in fact, the secret of life and lasting genetic health. By boldly declaring that "cooking food is poison" and demonstrating that " cooking is an unnatural activity," Nature's First Law has overturned civilization's most basic assumption.

This is a great juice recipe book, with many vegetable and fruit juice recipes. I got a lot of use out of it....especially when I first started juicing. I highly recommend it....especially for beginners. "Juice Fasting and Detoxification". I just recently purchased this book....and used it as a guide for my first fast (3 days). To me, it seemed like a good book....but since it is the only book on fasting that I have read, I have nothing to compare it too. "Sprout it" I have also just recently purchased this book. Along with the book, I also purchased the authors "Sprout Bag". So far I have grew three different batches of sprouts utilizing the sprout bag (peas, lentils and wheat berries). The peas came out ok ( I ate them all, so I guess that means they were good!), the lentils were so-so, and the wheat berries were not that good. I still have many more different kinds of sprouts to test. The sprout bag is extremely easy to use...basically, you just rinse and hang. I haven't read the entire book yet. Nature's First Law: The Raw-Food Diet". This book I have not read. If I happen to somehow end up with a copy in my possession then I will take a look at it out of curiosity, -but I will not buy it-. I have heard too many negative things about it. On the old veg-raw (now raw-food) list, from what I saw, the authors appeared to be very arrogant and dislikable. This is putting it lightly.
