Customer Reviews

a valuable resource

This has been a book that I can always depend on when I need a reference. The information is similiar to that I have received from nurses and doctors. It is just so handy to have it right at my fingertips. Several of my friends have asked to borrow this book, and I'm always apprehensive until it is returned to me.

A Good General Book

Certain foods have always had the reputation of being good for us and there are some that heal. This book is about foods that prevent or ease ailments from arthritis and high blood pressure to allergies and diabetes, to angina and even cancer. A good book to start with, when learning about nutrition.

More Than Your Average Cookbook

This book not only provides a few good recipes but also tells what the foods are good for. This book tells you what health issues a certain food can help with. For example, grapefruit is good for cholesterol.

Easy and informative source

This book is fabulous. It presents an easy to use, wide ranging amount of information, and presents it in a way that makes you excited to cook and eat all these good things! With recipes, information of good vitamin sources etc, it has remained one of my most important nutritional reference books for years.
