The problem I had with the book is the way the information was presented. The authors tried to take their "electrical" theories and wrap them around the entire work. I found very little, if any, substantiation for their theory. As a matter of fact, I found claims and explanations for simple nutrition that were just plain erroneous. The following quote shows one of the significant errors: "The fats in milk, butter, and cream are among the most beneficial protein sources available to the human body not only supplying important protein but also assisting to clean and heal the digestive tract." Maybe it's just me, but in my world, there are three "macro" nutrients: carbohydrates (sugars), proteins (amino acids), and fats (lipids). Fats are not the same as protein. Proteins can be converted to glucose and then to fat by the body, but this didn't seem to be what the authors meant. This reference was made in several places. The authors even referred to tocotrienols, nutrients related to vitamin E, as proteins. In addition, when they wanted to substantiate something they were discussing, it appeared as though they would just make up some "fact" to "prove" their point.
Another problem, and to me the most irritating of all, was that I felt as though the entire piece was an infomercial for the authors' company as well as a couple of network marketing companies they are associated with (Avena Originals and Royal Body Care). They continually mentioned "electrically formulated" and "electrically available" supplements (even an "electrically tuned" mini trampoline which they just happened to sell).
All in all, an annoying waste of time. Those knowledgeable about nutrition, etc., don't need to read it, and those trying to add to their knowledge wouldn't know what was useful and what was inaccurate. I suggest looking at Dr. Mercola's web site for wonderful nutritional and related information. Also, check out "The Metabolic Typing Diet" by William Wolcott -- a great way to determine once and for all what specific diet is right for you. Lots of good science behind it and great to finally find a book that says there isn't one diet that's right for everyone.
