Product Description

Product Description
It's now proven beyond all doubt that eating more leafy green vegetables helps to prevent cancer, that many of the obese children of today will die before their parents, that good nutrition is the very best aid through the menopause and can even help to ward off Alzheimer's disease . . . and simply having bags more energy and vitality is a tremendous benefit in itself, considering the stresses of modern life. This book brings together for the first time Gillian's life's work and offers the very best information on how food affects your health, well-being, ageing, ability to fight disease and quality of life. It is innovative in its design and extremely user-friendly with a comprehensive A-Z section on all the common illnesses and diseases — a must-have book for anyone who cares about their health.

5.0 out of 5 stars easy to understand one stop guide for your food and health concerns, 28 April 2008
This is probably the most useable book that Gillian McKeith has written so far. It is essentially a complete compendium that provides a thorough guide to the direct relationship between food and health, looking in detail at the effects we can have on our bodies and our general well being by taking some simple steps. Not only does the book lend itself to being a useful resource to dip into when you need to find out about a condition or illness, it is also immensly readable and has already expanded my knowledge on many areas I was not aware of.

Be prepared though - if you are planning on just dipping in here or there, you may well be sucked into a whole new world and then find yourself clearing the store cupboards of the usual junk and hitting the shops to restock with far healthier alternatives. The advantage being this time you know why your buying certain foods and what the benefits are that will follow.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a one stop bible for all food and health issues - and that might just be most of us!

1.0 out of 5 stars Nonsense and Pseudoscience, 28 Dec 2008
McKeith is not a medical doctor. Indeed, her degree is a correspondance course from an unacredited American college. Not that this neccesarily matters, but the problem is that this is indicative of McKeith's whole approach: rubbish dressed up as something more through the use of fancy terminology. Sadly, she fails to understand her field entirely and so this book veers between, as its best, mere common sense and, at its worst, potentially dangerous misinformation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plain common sense dressed up in pseudo science, 8 Sep 2008
By L. Davies (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was recently given this by a friend and I have to say that I was distinctly underwhelmed by the contents. Essentially it's just common sense advice like eating fresh ingredients in moderation, but dressed up in pseudo scientific language. Money would be better spent on a decent cookbook and some ingredients.
