I was actually considering this as an option." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"The fiber content of the diet also slows the absorption of sugar into the blood. Even though fruit is a simple sugar, in its whole form it contains fiber that helps to slow the absorption of sugar into the blood. Fruit juice, which has been stripped of fiber, is similar to a sweetened soft drink in terms of the amount of sugar it contains and how fast it enters the system. Although fruit juice does contain nutrients of value, the effect of this much sugar on metabolism can be stressful. It also matters if sugar is consumed on an empty stomach or as part of a meal." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"THE EVOLUTION OF APPETITE The secret behind the Flavor-Full diet is this simple fact: Our appetites are stimulated by flavor variety and lulled by flavor consistency. Why do we eat more when flavors are diverse? The answer to that question lies deep in human history and dates back to our hunting and gathering days. The sweetness of chocolate, the saltiness of a pickle, the sourness of a lemon, and the bitterness of broccoli all affect the brain differently. Exactly how the human brain responds to these flavors is a product of millions of years of evolution." - David L. Katz, Catherine S.

Joe Alexander, author of Blatant Raw Foodist Propaganda!" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "The belief that early paleolithic man routinely cooked his food is incorrect. Anthropologist Dr. Vaughn Bryant studied the fossilized excrement of early paleolithic people and concluded that they were primarily raw food eaters and, from studying the skeletons, that they were in excellent health. Thus it appears that cooking became customary only after the Stone Ages. Why did man start to cook? There are many theories. Some anthropologists suggest that as man migrated to colder climates, the only way he could eat the frozen food he found was to thaw it out with fire." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Yet most people arrogantly cling to erroneous theories. Imagine having dedicated the focus of your entire life to a theory and then having to watch some radical upstart come along and pull the rug out from under it!

This is true especially when a lot of money has been invested in them, as is the case with today's global trillion-dollar-a-year medical system. Dr." - Susan E.
