Most of the books on Bryan's list are full of natural hygiene nonsense. The only ones on his list that might be worth looking at, for historical reasons, are those of Tilden.

I don't have a list for you. All, yes all the pro-raw books are unscientific and dubious. The various pro-raw "science" websites are even worse: ecologos.org (the barely coherent rantings and ravings of one Laurie Forti), the writings of John Coleman, Lotus/Pearl, etc -- are all pseudoscience, and are predominantly garbage.

Many rawists openly reject science, claiming they follow it only as a feel-good diet. Along those lines, similar logic could justify "supplementation' with the "superfood" called LSD. Yes, I'm being sarcastic here, but to make a point.

Some of the skeptic websites are pretty good. Better yet is to use PubMed and a good university library, and read the literature for yourself. Then you will quickly see how pseudoscience dominates in raw, and how wacko people like Forti, Coleman, et al, really are.

>Some of the skeptic websites are pretty good. Better yet is to use PubMed and a good university library, and read the literature for yourself. Then you will quickly see how pseudoscience dominates in raw,

Seconding this. I will continue to encourage people to read the real lit instead of "poetry." Some people *are* interested but they get intimidated.

If anyone is one of those interested but intimidated people, you just have to dive in! If you don't know what something means in a paper, just ask for help.

The 1-yr old or older AJCN and Nutrition journal papers are free online and they are a good place to start, along with the DRI books at the National Academies Press website (http://www.nap.edu). And a good nutrient calculator is also very helpful for assessing the adequacy of one's diet. (http://www.nutritiondata.com , [www.fitday.com] , [spaz.ca] )

Thanks Bryan for the comprehensive list. I wish I had more time lol!

Arugula - thanks again for research references. But for clients really need books. Most are unwilling to delve too deeply.

Hi Bryan,

i copied down the whole list. I have already read the Volume III about fasting. I feel so enlightened and understand my wrong trying in my first 10 months raw. I am in raw just for one year.

thanks a lot for the informatoin!

Joel Fuhrman's "Eat to Live" is pretty good. Scientific but simple.

I also liked Roy Walford's "Beyond the 120-year diet."

There aren't any exclusively raw books that I could recommend aside from inspirational purposes. They aren't very grounded in facts but there is no limit to the hyperbole.

But, I liked Sarma's and Juliano's books for the pics and Nomi's book for the recipes.
