Comprehensive and Helpful!,
He also includes a very helpful section on “the Environmental Aspects of Nutrition.” Possible pollutants and common food additives are discussed. He lists “88 Survival Suggestions.”
Over 100 pages are dedicated to a Seasonal Cookbook. The foods are healthy, but possibly difficult for the average reader to obtain. It is possible with a little work however. There is a section on “Nutritional Application,” which has special diets and suggestions for people with cancer, heart disease, yeast syndrome, and other disorders. He also includes suggestions for executives, adults, children, alcoholics, and adolescents. Overall the Nutritional Application section is very complete.
Finally he includes around 80 pages of health questionnaires that test health knowledge and actually intend to estimate one’s health level. I use this whenever I have general or specific health questions. I recommend it highly.

Should be everyone’s nutrition bible.,
This book is over 1,100 pages and it’s just jam packed with more information than you will think you need, but then you’ll be surprised to find how many sections you’ll flip to for info that pertains to you and your family.
I have a huge library of nutrition books and references that are really useful and well-written, but I’d toss them all just to have this one. If you are hesitant about the price or the size of the book, don’t be. You will find it to be incredibly useful, easy to understand and beneficial when applied to your own daily life. I know I did.
This is far and away THE best nutrition book out there, I can’t see how anyone could top this, unless he releases it with more information one day (and I can’t see how there could be more.)

The definitive comprehensive nutrition reference,
This is not a book, however, for those looking for a quick, capsule synopsis of a dietary approach. Those people might be better served with Patrick Holford’s “Optimum Nutrition Bible” which provides much of the same information in a condensed form. Rather this book is ideal for those looking to make an informed decision based on their own choices.
