1.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to read, stuffy, February 13, 2007

By	Iman C. Leslie "Imanelle" (NYC metro area) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book hoping that I would get more insight into the raw foods diet. Dr, Jensen re-affirms that whole foods and certain other foods are best for you, but I didn't find his rationale very memorable or convincing. He gets scientific in this book, but I found that none of it was approachable, and after a few times trying to get info out of the book, I gave up. It isn't that there isn't good information in the book, it's just that it's style isn't compatible with my own.
