"A raw vegan diet is to average dietary patterns what t
he
summit of Mount Everest is to an average hill-an ascent to potentially
exhilarating and life-changing heights, fraught with hazard. The health
benefits of a judicious raw diet are apt to be considerable, while a
reckless approach could be equally harmful. In typical Davis and Melina
fashion, 'Becoming Raw' is thorough, thoughtful, practical, and balanced.
It is, in fact, the gold standard on the topic. If the rarefied terrain of a
raw vegan diet calls out to you, Davis and Melina are the best Sherpas in
the business; don't make the trek without them!"

“Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina do an outstanding job of

“'Becoming Raw' is an excellent resource for anyone
interested in understanding the relationship between food and health. It is
one of few books that covers raw, plant-based nutrition from a peer-reviewed
