Quality juicers include the pulp in the juice you receive.
Red meat is bad for you in many different ways. If colon cancer isn't a concern then think about heart disease.
A true paleo diet did not consist of a large amount of red meat. Fish were way easier to catch in abundance without hurting yourself.
Fruit juice from the store is very high in sugar and should only be had in moderation.
Keep in mind books like these are written with very little cited papers to back them up. They go against the grain of what is already established so they will sell based on shock value alone. They stir up the pot.
There are many things to consider when changing your diet. Lets say you have a family history where the men die between 55 and 65 of either heart disease or stroke. Eating a Mediterranean diet can kill you. It is very high in vitamin K which helps your blood to form clots. Eating this diet can cause you to die before your father did when he was eating a meat and potatoes diet with lots of gravy. Your wife on the other hand might flourish with such a diet. Vitamin K also helps regulate bone density. She might beat osteoporosis eating lots of kale, spinach, etc.
There is nothing wrong with reading books and finding alternate food choices, but make sure you do your own homework on how the diet would effect you personally. Looking into your family history is a good place to start.
* Authors note: I had a mini stroke after switching to the Mediterranean diet. I am lucky that it didn't kill me or cause me severe damage. The older you get the more you really need to pay attention to what you are putting inside your body. After my episode I contacted my remaining family members asking them about their own health issues and found out they are all on Warfarin or an aspirin regiment to fight blood clots. Go figure!
