Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko

3.0

What an adventure this book was to read! I am a believer that greens are great for humans. But I’ve never had that idea led in with diet comparison charts between the chimpanzee and the human. Based on what she said half the chimpanzee diet is fruit. And she believed we should mirror their diet. But in the latter part of the book she talked about the concept of pH, with the alkalinity and acidity imbalance being the cause of cancer (acidity being the culprit). It should be noted most pH diets put fruit on the restricted list because the sugars directly contribute to the pH imbalance.

She also placed emphasis on fiber. Nothing wrong with that.

A little over the top with the benefits from fixing gray hair to suicidal ideation with the green diet.

Having said that, she included some very tasty-looking smoothie recipes and I’m going to give them a try.
