"Simple terminology, lots of explanations, very structured; just what my brain needs to be introduced to and understand a science topic. I was glad to see an update to the decades old guess that was based on years of study."
"Straight-forward and sensible information about how to eat well and still be healthy. There are no radical ideas here, but the material is presented clearly, and Willett does a good job of explaining why he makes the suggestions and claims he does. His ideas are based on solid research, and don't require you to make huge changes in your lifestyle, unless you eat incredibly poorly. Not a diet book, and not a fad-anything book, but great reading for anyone who wants to live better."
