By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
The information provided in this book is written in everyday language, easy to understand and is cross referenced to other linked sections.

It has enabled me to help friends and relatives on a number of issues and I am now buying a copy for one of them, she was so impressed with the advice it gave and helped her in relation to certain medical advice she had been given.

I cannot recommend it too highly.

A no-nonesense book. 26 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
I find this book to be really helpful and informative, with practical, down-to-earth information and advice. The book doesn't have any fad diets or health scares, instead it advocates a balanced, healthy approach to food. I particularly like the way that no food is considered to be "bad", everything is considered fine in moderation.

The book also gives advice as to which foods can help with specific ailments, which is helpful. The layout of the book is very good as well, with attractive pictures.

I would recommend this book because there is so much confusion about what we "should" and "shouldn't" be eating, and this book gives reliable, unbiased information. It's overall attitude to food is positive, and I think this is very helpful and makes the book pleasant to use.

I have a degree in Nutritional Sciences (a proper one from a top 10 university, not one of these scam qualifications that are so dangerous). I've also studied for a PhD in a Nutrition area.

I find this book brilliant, the advice in it is all well written and well researched. I find that the list of contributing authors are all well respected in their fields of nutritional research and this gives me a great sense of confidence in the content of the book. I have recommended this to my family and family-in-law, who have used other literature to try and improve health and they have been taken in by content which is poor.

I'm so pleased the book is written in more everyday language so the general public can understand and implement the advice in this book. However it is not patronising either.

I am a great believer that what you ingest can have massive implications in health and think this book is a brilliant example in telling the facts without preaching.
