By Lionel R Murray

Paperback: 164 pages

Lionel reviews evidence from a wide range of sciences & argues that cooking both destroys health-giving constituents and produces new toxic substances.  Then he reveals the many benefits of a raw food diet.  The book gives advice on moving to a raw food diet & provides information about useful books, equipment, organisations and websites.

The authour is a retired organic chemist who has published in a wide range of academic journals.  He believes that mainstream science could make a significant contribution to the fight against western diseases firstly by recognising existing scientific knowledge about cooking and raw food, and secondly, by extending that knowledge with modern research methods.
