Meticulous science

It's good to see a book on nutrition that has applied the principles of science so vigorously. I'm sure that everyone who reads this book will start to feel better immediately.
Fascinating from two perspectives

This is one of the rare books that is both theologically intriguing and of practical value for everyday living. Normally books that link religion to nutrition are not high on my list, but this one is free of sectarian bias and other complications I have found common among this genre.The book presents four basic diets evident from Scripture and cites a mass of secular authorities on nutrition demonstrating the value of such diets. Of particular interest was the section on God-given and not-God-given foods. Many common, and unhealthy, assumptions about foods are overturned.The pros and cons of each diet are honestly considered and when necessary, strategies are presented to supplement the diets for the best health. This book is definitely for the person who wants to think through his or her dietary choices rather than accept someone's "formula." With this book, you are not simply told what to do but are also given the reasons why.The book is highly educational on nutrition, and the information is given in a very easy to read format. What I personally found even more fascinating, however, was the comparison of the diets of these ancient peoples with the most modern scientific data. Surely, their healthy diets are strong evidence that they did indeed have a God who cared for them; for there was certainly no way they could have known of themselves, in such primitive times, to this astonishing degree what foods were, in the long term, healthy or unhealthy.
