Rating: Summary: Helpful Review: I was looking for a juicing book with lots of recipes and a guide to the various nutritional content of different vegetables and fruits. This book delivered both. I like that the author recognizes the various reasons that a person would juice by devoting a section of the book to juicing for health, juicing for weight loss, etc. Though I was a little dissappointed by the shortness of the section on juice fasting, but it was comprehensive enough that I was able to conduct a 5 day fast after reading it. This is a good book to read if you want a lot of information in a quick read.

Rating: Summary: The best!!!!!! Review: I'm a nutritionist and have most of the books out there on juicing. To me, this is by far the best of them all. Buy it -- you'll like it.
Rating: Summary: Unreal Review: My family just started juicing around christmas. We are amazed at how great we feel and look! I have small children and none of us has been sick this year! The juices are great! We have two juicers because we travel some and were ever we go our juicer go's with us. A must read book, as well as all the other books by Jay.
Rating: Summary: I didn't like the book Review: Of course juicing is good, but this book just sounds like a annoying late night paid-program commercial through out. I just can't stand it everybody else giving it 5 stars.Although there is only one chapter on "why juice," but the author keeps talking about how Great juicing is and keeps bringing out what research has been done alone with a lot of stupid terms through out the book. Except the 54 page recipes out of the 351 pages entire book, the rest of book sounds phony like a paid-program. Therefore i don't recommand you buying this book just because it has a high sales rank and high rating.
Rating: Summary: Drink your fruit and veggies Review: Once you've tasted the fruit juice recipes in this book, you'll feel cheated every time you drink bottled, canned or otherwise processed juices from the grocery store. I'll admit I have a sweet tooth so, the fruit juices are what I like most about this book. However, Michael Murray has also packed it with a lot of useful health information. He highlights the link between progressive Westernization of diets and the subsequent rise of modern day plagues like heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The text contains tables of quantitative information and references to reputable scientific publications to support his contentions. In fact, the information convinced me to at least try some of the less palatable-looking vegetable juices; quite a feat, considering that I was never enthusiastic about downing glasses of liquefied parsley, kale or leeks. I was pleasantly surprised. In particular, a concoction called "Cruciferous Surprise" containing cabbage, broccoli, kale, carrots and apples really did turn out to be a shock--a rather tasty one. Despite the fact that I'd consumed a couple of pounds of veggies and fruit in a few gulps, I didn't end up feeling like an overinflated hot air ballon! To be completely honest though, there were a few veggie juice recipes that pickled my palate and left me feeling seasick, but over all, I was quite pleased with the book. Whether you have a medical condition for which you're seeking nutritional support (the chapter on "Juice as Medicine" recommends various fruit and vegetable juices which can be therapeutic for a number of ailments)., looking for ways to improve your diet or simply trying to add something new and exciting to your culinary repertoire, this is a fun and informative book to own.
Rating: Summary: Buy this book, improve your life Review: This book is an outstanding reference. Michael Murray has written a book that will help change your life. I have lost 22 pounds in the past 3 months and improved both my health and well being using the recipes and guidelines in this book. As part of a healthy diet, juicing can change your life. I bought this book after reading the many other reviews and wanted to take the time to come back after I had actually used it to provide some input. This book combines a wide variety of recipies with nutritional information and very helpful advice, of all of the books I have reviewed and/or purchased, this is by far the best - buy this book, you won't be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Superb! Review: This is an excellent book that details the importance of daily juicing. It is packed full of recipes and nutritional information. I would highly recommend this book to anybody wishing to improve the long term quality of his/her life.
Rating: Summary: Review of The Complete Book of Juicing Review: This is an excellent juicing and nutritional resource. I have learned so much about the value of certain foods that I didn't know before. I have been juicing for four weeks now and I feel so much better, have more energy, lost weight,and my appetite is reduced so I wouldn't miss a day of juicing. The book outlines which fruits and vegetables you should juice with for certain ailments as well as giving you detailed measurements of the nutritional value of each food so you can determine what you need to juice with so you can add certain nutrients to your diet. I would highly recommend this book. It's enjoyable reading also.
