What a great book! I look inside too many juicing and smoothie books and just see the recipes. However Julia Cussler has really educated me! I knew about good and bad cholesterol, but not enough to be able to talk about it. Now I know enough to hold an intelligent conversation. But that's not the real bonus of the book. After explaining all about cholesterol and statins (drugs to reduce it), Julia then educates us on the benefits of certain fruits and vegetables in the fight against cholesterol. Only then does she give you recipes for lots of juices and smoothies that will help you. She talks about the benefits of each juice/smoothie and the possible problems with over doing certain ingredients. I've noticed coconut water in the supermarket, but now I'll go and buy some. A real education! Awesome book.
