Product Description:
For years nutritionists and health practitioners have urged North Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables. Why? Because these foods are low in fat, and are important sources of essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Yet many of us — even the most health conscious — still don t consume the recommended 5 to 10 servings a day.
So what s the solution? For some people, the answer lies in vitamin and herbal supplements, both of which have enjoyed explosive sales growth over the past decade. But recent research suggests that whole, natural foods are still the best source of nutrients. And there s no easier or more effective way to add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet than by juicing them.
Now, with The Juicing Bible, there s a new and comprehensive source of information for anyone who wants to explore the health benefits of juicing. Here you ll find a fully illustrated reference documenting the nutritive values and healing properties of over 100 fruits, vegetables and herbs. There s also a special section that addresses 60 common health conditions — with prescriptive advice for using specific juices, as well as beneficial dietary and lifestyle changes. And, of course, there are the juicing recipes themselves — over 150 of them, including flavourful juices (sample a Crimson Cleanser or Beta Blast), smoothies (try the Pump It Up or Cool Down), tonics, bitters, coffee substitutes and healing teas.
With helpful sidebars, health tips and preparation techniques throughout, The Juicing Bible is jam-packed with information. It s a BIG book and it s an essential guide for anyone who wants to explore all the nutritional benefits that natural foods can provide.

A General Overview of the Health Benefits of Juicing by Mr. Knowlton
A good book on juicing. This books gives a very general overview of the health benefits derived from juicing raw fruits and vegtables, and has many tasty recipes.

Not bad, not so good, either. by So Cal Gal
I read the reviews and thought I’d give this book a try and I have to say I’m somewhat disappointed. It’s a very thorough book, but I don’t need most of the information it gives. And the cross-sections are daunting. I really wanted a straight ‘here’s how to make yummy juices’ book and this is not that kind of book. Too much information and too confusing for a novice juicer. Maybe when I’m more advanced I’ll appreciate it, but for now I’m still looking for the perfect *simple* juicing book.

This book has EVERYTHING! by EMA
This is a great book. It is much more in-depth than your average juicing book. It’s separated into quite a few sections, ranging from simple juices to recipes for using the leftover pulp.

It starts off with a mini-encyclopedia listing herbs, fruits and veggies which can be used in your juicing. Offered is a quick summary of each item, how to use it in juicing, and health benefits of each (good for digestion, cooling, antispasmodic, etc.). Then, there’s a section on common health illnesses which lists juices (and other juice-type items, all of which have recipes in the book) that may help the ailments, as well as dietary tips, foods and herbs that may help the disorder, and some lifestyle changes to try.

The rest of the book has the following sections:

1. Fruit Juices

2. Vegetable Juices

3. Cocktails — these are juices with a little something extra, like yogurt, milks, spices, etc.

4. Frozen treats — most of these recipes utilize leftover pulp from juices

5. Roughies — these are actual food recipes, using the juicing pulp from other recipes

6. Smoothies — uses juices and frozen fruit

7. Digestive Aids and Cleansers — the title section speaks for itself

8. Milk substitutes — recipes for nut milks, apricot milk, fig milk, etc.

9. Coffee substitutes

10. Teas and Tonics — these recipes are mostly for medicinal teas which are geared towards alleviating body ailments and/or aiding and encouraging natural bodily functions and processes.

For those of you looking for a straight forward book that just offers simple, basic juicing recipes, this is not for you; all of the extras will definitely turn you off. But for those of you looking for something that goes beyond your standard carrot-apple combination, this is sure to please. This book really goes above and beyond your typical juicing guide, with options for those that want to add a little more to their juices and really utilize every part of produce used.
