Still Garbage.

Easy to read? Perhaps. Does this book have any business as a course text in a science doctoral degree plan? Absolutely not. Scientific? Certainly not.

A good, easy to read text dealing with food safety.

I chose this book as the text book for an introductory course in food toxicology and safety. It was chosen not only because it was the best value for its cost but because it was a down to earth and easy to read approach to the topic. Both the students and their parents could read and benefit from the book which is loaded with useful information. It should not be confused with a serious food toxicology text or a text dealing with the bacterial nuances of food poisoning. However, it is a valuable book to have on the shelf for general information, especially when dealing with laymen. It contains a few mistakes that probably should have been caught by careful proofreading [DES has been banned; and several of the values given in the chapter on food irradiation are wrong]. Even so, this book represents probably the most realistic and sane introduction to food safety currently on the market.
