very helpful

I can reccomend this book . It has never let me down when I wanted to see the value of a certain food.

More than A Bible of Nutrition

This is more than just a bible of nutrition, it's a bible and a dictionary! Anything you have ever wanted to know about nutrition and ingredients and recipes, ANYTHING!

Excellent reference guide

I confess I'm biased in my review. My mother, Barbara Deskins, is one of the authors. She and Jean Anderson did a wonderful job putting together a reference book for anything nutrition. Whenever anyone asks a question pertaining to foods or nutrition, I tell them to check the Nutrition Bible. Everybody should have a copy!
