Quote: "As a believer in raw food vegetarianism myself, I feel a moral imperative to share the disturbing, surprising results of my experiments with mice." - This book is based upon lectures given by Dr. Bass comprising the first two years of a 4 year research project undertaken by him - the thrilling story of how he investigated and tested all the theories and diets advocated by writers and practitioners in the field of vegetarian Natural Health. The result especially revealed the dangers of fruitarianism. Quotes: "Since the average fruitarian cheats, he doesn't know that his diet doesn't work." "Small adjustments in the vegan (all-vegetarian) raw diet ... to avoid slowly developing but disastrous health problems."

Hundreds of mice were used to test diets such as the vegan, fruitarian, vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian, ovo-vegetarian, raw diets, cooked diet, other diets and variations, periodic fasting and longevity, juice programs, all-raw vs. cooked Natural Hygiene diets.

Accompany Dr. Bass on a fascinating journey, one which is comparable to testing theories of nutrition on what is the equivalent of 120 years of nutritional experiments on hundreds of humans.
