Not only does it teach you to make juice. Most important to me it tells me how to select, buy and store the vegtables and fruits.Book Review: Great book for great juices

The bible of juicing! Easy to read and learn.Book Review: The Juicemans Power of Juice
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had the book for a little over 30 days. I have been on a juice feast for 28 days so far. I used it in addition to other books to assist me in recipes. It is a great addition to add to your juice recipe library. It's cheap. It has some great recipes that may be used time and time again. He has a small section on some of the benefits of the fruits and vegetables, as well as the benefits of the vitamins. The recipes are fairly simple usually about 4 ingredients or less, and has many easy to find ingredients. Some are under our noses in the grocery store but we may never pay attention to them. There are more tasty drinks than not. (this is a plus, because I have had some awful drinks before). For individuals who follow food combining charts, this books does not try to combine fruits and veggies that have no right being paired together. He does not add a bunch of additional things to the majority of his recipes (for example soy milk, nut milk, mineral water, spices, seasoning and herbs.) I believe I saw about three recipes that had something extra such as mineral water and dry non fat milk.
Some recipes are common and no brainers that you may have thought of your self like juicing pineapple by itself or grapefruit by itself. There are a few recipes that are extremely similar for example he has one drink which is -two apples and one pear- and then another recipe which is -two apples, one pear, and 1 knob ginger-. He could have put that on the same page and said optional or something of the sorts. He list the tomato under vegetable but states most people regard it as a vegetable even though it's a fruit (which is fine) but he fails to realize that cucumbers are a fruit and doesn't cite the same information. It is not easy to find certain juice recipes you may have liked soley by the ingredients, it is best to put a post-it note to save the page.
I suggest that everyone reads some of the information in the back about certain veggies and fruits to ensure you do not drink certain things in excess or solo. I use to be a raw vegan (now just a vegan) and I was aware that beets by itself will paralyze the vocal chord, it is in the book but in the back. I am sure some may not be aware of certain information or even know what a daikon or fennel is, so read and research to ensure you are not suprised.
If you do a juice feast or a juice fast do not rely on just this book. If you just need some recipes to juice but maybe not so serious about juicing as much, then this will do. After juicing some time, you will be able to add or reduce certain fruits or vegetables to satisfy your taste buds.
Book Review: Health! - first priority.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the juiceman machine and this book came with it. I think it is great and even though he makes some claims that may be wishful thinking for certain cures, it still is a very healthy way to live and loose weight. An the juice recipes are delicious, way better than anything you can buy in a store. He's an inspiration to us all.
