"Excellent, comprehensive coverage of nutrition in terms of body systems (circulatory, immune, etc.) and in terms of specific illnesses like cancer, allergies, obesity, and so on. This book is very easy to read and very practical. It provides many tables and charts, e.g., vitamin and mineral dosages and "test scores for cardiovascular health."
I disagree with one major point and that is the author's dedication to low fat , especially where saturated fat is concerned. I am persuaded by Dr. Weston Price's arguments for raw butter and other mostly saturated fats that come from reliable sources.
Including the appendices: 527 pages."
"This is an essential read. The first half is the most important part, and you will pick up a lot useful information about healthy nutrition and it is backed up with scientific evidence. Holford recommends a vegetarian diet, but if you are not vegetarian, there is still useful information here. It also has significant information about dietary supplements and vitamins."
"Diet and nutrition books are a growth market these days. This book, although published in 2005, does not seem dated. Holford's recommendations center around a) controlling your blood sugar through a low-glycemic-load diet, b) taking supplements to clear up health issues ranging from eczema to schizophrenia. Some of his recommendations are more mainstream than others, but none are extreme, and all are backed up with scientific research. One of the most useful features is the array of quizzes where you can find out your nutrient deficiencies and get exact milligrams of the supplements needed to compensate (by the way, he disproves studies saying that vitamins have no effect). Overall, this book presents a sane and reasoned approach to health. I'm sad to see it characterized as an "alternative medicine" book because it has easy and sensible recommendations that anyone can choose to adopt."
