I am a big believer in being "clean" from the inside out and this book is amazing for nailing that home. Facts like "fruits and veggies only keep 30% of their vitamins and helpful ingredients 24 hours after they are picked" are astonishing. A lot of people are cooking the nutrients out of their old food which makes for basically worthless food. By eating these raw foods to get rid of the toxins and inflammation, you really feel a difference in your mood, your energy level and every other aspect of your life. I especially liked the special raw recipes. The book tries to sell you on the idea based on what some celebrities are doing but I could care less. The medical aspect is good enough for me!
