Amazon.com Review
In a blizzard of conflicting nutritional claims and information, here is a book that gets down to basics, debunks many myths, and gives the reader a useful and comprehensive look at food, nutrition, and health. Based on sound science and the research of more than 300 nutritional experts worldwide, it is well organized and indexed, and will be a refreshingly clear reference for anyone who wants to know about nutrition and health (know anyone who doesn't?). One of the best books I've seen on the subject.

 Unimpressive
This book gives the preception of abundant health knowledge, and although it covers many foods it really dose not give much useful information. I also wander about its accuracy. Read page 14 " Dose Chinese restuarant syndrome really exist?" I dont think this book is for those who really want to be healthy and stay away from the doctor. Ask those whos teeth have been destroyed by fluoride then see if you agree with the statments under "Did you know?" on page 129. Do a web search on flouride and see if it agrees with what this book says. This is a great book for those who want to consume the American diet and preceive, that they are healthy while doing so.

BEST BUY EVER ( lipicapa )
I boutht this book in 1997 and still use it and have it handy all the time! i'm always trying to keep up my healthy habits and maintain a balanced diet. this book is a must have! it is written wisely and very easy to understand. it is written in alphabetical order and you can look up almost every sickness, foods, vitamins and minerals, what is good for what, what are the drawbacks and where to find them. for sickness what it is, what should you eat, what to cut down, what to avoid. etc. if you are a person like me and like to know what you eat, you must own this book! by the way i'm ordering today a 2004 copy for my mother in law who has recovered from breast cancer and is so much into eating healthy.

EXCELLENT TOOL FOR RAISING HEALTHY KIDS
I HAVE OWNED THIS BOOK FOR OVER 5 YRS NOW. I USE IT REGULARLY TO LOOK OP NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIES FOR THINGS THAT I EAT. I AM AN RN WITH HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND I JUST LIKE TO KNOW HOW DIFFERENT FOODS PROMOTE HEATH OR WHAT COULD BE HARMFULL FOR ME. I ALSO USE IT TO TEACH MY KIDS WHAT THEY ARE CONSUMING. THEY ARE NOW MORE WILLING TO TRY ASPARGUS AFTER THE PROPERTIES ARE EXPLAINED TO THEM. I LET MY FRIEND WHO SURVIVED BREAST CANCER BORROW IT TO MODIFY HER EATING HABITS. WHAT AN EXCELLENT BOOK. IT STAYS IN MY KITCHEN.
