Either we don't like them or just don't go to the trouble to prepare them. Predicting or measuring the long range impact of a diet low in green vegetables is difficult. So in the broadest sense this is a book about health, disease, and the modern diet. We provide basic, balanced information about nutrition and how it may affect our long term health. Contrary to the old saying, what you don't know can hurt you.
Nutrition is really a very complex subject.
A vast amount of money is spent each year to investigate hypotheses concerning the effect of diet on how we feel and function. There are plenty of disagreements among people who are considered nutrition experts. Most of the information contained in this book is supported by research conducted and verified over the last sixty years in the United States, and more recently in Europe and Japan. We have also included material which is based on our own experiences with the cereal grasses. To minimize any ambiguity, we have clearly distinguished research information from anecdotal information as it is presented.
